Somewhat Human (Fullmetal Alchemist)

14: Save What Was Lost

The question was one Milo has expected for a while now, he was honestly more surprised that (Y/n) didn't ask him earlier, " I can't promise I'll have all the details you want, but I'll do my best so ask away." Milo looks down at (Y/n) who was wearing the neck rest he was originally holding, " Tell me about the day I died."

Milo's face falls, that day was one he didn't want to remember for obvious reasons,
but he looked almost scared, "Well, I wasn't there but... You were walking to my house and, the avalanche happened." (Y/n) deadpanned a bit but it wasn't Milo's fault, she wasn't specific enough.

" I know all that, I want to know what happened after." Milo shakily hums in realization and stops wheeling (Y/n), " That's more complicated. " (Y/n) looks up at him and shrugs, "Whatever you do know is perfectly fine." Milo nods and holds his chin, he might not know what (Y/n) probably wanted to know anyways, unless he did

" After the avalanche, your parents somehow found your body and from what I heard did some type of alchemy to put your soul into a doll, though I thought it failed." (Y/n) once again knew all of that, it seemed Milo knew as much as she did on what happened that day so she changed her focus, " I see, what about before? What were my parents like? Any friends? "

This time (Y/n)'s question caused Milo to brighten up, " Me and you were childhood friends, and your parents were the sweetest people they treated me like a son, and they really cared about you. They took you sledding a lot, you loved it despite all the bruises." A smile sneaks up on (Y/n)'s face as she imagines her biological parents and her going sledding on the big hills she saw by the house.

" Oh! One time some of the neighborhood kids used a makeshift catapult to launch you into a mound of snow! You actually broke your arm doing it and we all got in trouble." Milo laughs recalling the memory, " Anything else? " (Y/n) asks, she was enjoying all Milo's stories about her past and it assured her that she really was human.

" Definitely! I could go on all day."

" Then do! Tell me all about it as we ask around town!"

Milo nods giddy at the thought of telling (Y/n) about her past, " For sure!" Milo goes on to list all of his favorite memories with her starting from childhood to when they started dating, (Y/n) thinks about the memories and it sounded like she really did love Milo. (Y/n) was thankful Milo didn't push the fact they dated on her, except for when they 'reunited' but that was to be expected.

Though that is what (Y/n) thought was going through Milo's mind but in reality, Milo was heartbroken, he wanted nothing more than to steal her away from this adventure and the two of them go back to their hometown and continue their lives where they left off.

Edward looks at the paper Dr. Marcoh gave them excitedly, " Wait till (Y/n) hears about this!" Edward looks around the station when he hears (Y/n) laughing in the distance, "There's no way I fell down stairs and caught a fever the same day!" Milo nods with a big grin on his face, " But there is!"

Looking at them made Edward hold the paper a bit tighter, he could assume that when they split up (Y/n) asked Milo to tell her about her past, that was easy to figure out.

What wasn't so easy was why he was so irritated, it didn't matter he and (Y/n) are thick as thieves. Edward was one of the most important people in (Y/n)'s life, and he wasn't about to let Milo drop in out of nowhere and bother him when Edward knew how close (Y/n) and him were.

But what will happen when (Y/n) gets her memories with Milo back?

" Hey! Hurry up I got great news!" (Y/n) looked over to Edward and points at the paper, "Great news? I don't think this group has heard that in a while." Edward lets out a small laugh and walks up to (Y/n), waving the paper in her face, "This here is the location for Dr. Marcoh's research!" (Y/n) takes the paper and glances over it, Milo looking over her shoulder.
