Once upon a Time?

Do the best with what we've got

Yo. Soooo.....I've been thinking and I think that this story will be done in 16 chapters, more or less. The story line will wrap up, and I have some plans for it. This chappy is super duper short and there is no excuse for me being THIS Late. I'm very sorry.
Everybody in this story is probably EXTREMELY OOC. :P But I guess that's just cause I'm not a very good writer . I only write because I have stories in my head.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway, on to the story.
Ciao.

Roy looks out the window to see rain.

The door opened to Roy and Ed's dorm. Roy looks to the door to see Edward.
Edward closes the door, puts his back toward the door, and slides down it.
Roy gets up, worried about his new 'boyfriend'.
"Ed....are you okay??" Roy asks, while approaching.
Ed mumbles, "Al is sick." Ed just sits there, while Roy ponders what kind of sick is making his boyfriend sit there silently like that.

I AM NOT A DOCTOR, SO IF I GET ANYTHING WRONG I APOLOGIZE.)
2 weeks before
"Hello Alphonse! Are you ready for your appointment?" The doctor, a 5'10" man, with white slicked back hair, with a white coat and black shoes on. He holds a clipboard in his gloved hands.
"Well of course. I'm as ready as I'll ever be." His palms were sweaty, as he wheeled toward his doctor. Today he was going to be in a set of trials to see if he had cancer.
________________
"S-So....it has been growing for how long?"
"The cancer has been growing in your body for five years. I'm sorry to say, Mr.Elric, but it's too far big and too far along for normal chemotherapy."
Alphonse held his head in his hands.
"Since you have flaccid paraplegia paralysis, you couldn't feel any pain in your legs. And since you didn't, we didn't catch it in your normal checkups. How long has it been since your last blood test, Alphonse?" The doctor sat down, and checked his clipboard.
"I...I can't remember...after mom died we didn't really have any money to spend on checkups...." Alphonse was only a small kid, seven years old at the time his mother died. He couldn't WALK to the doctors when he was little, or now, but whatever. Oh well....
The doctor stayed silent. He couldn't fathom what this boy has been through.
A fire, being paralyzed, orphaned, and now he has cancer. The doctor didn't want to tell him he had nothing left to help Al. He knows how long he had to live, but he couldn't break it to him.

Ed told Roy what happened and Roy slid down the door, right next to Ed. Roy hugged Ed, while Ed's world was falling to ruin.
All you hear is a chiming. Roy's phone is going off. Maes was calling. Roy accepted, wanting to know if he got Gracia back.
"Hello?"
"Hey Roy..I wanted to talk to you..."
Roy brushed it off.
"What's up?"
"I...I didn't get Gracia back...so...can you come over?" Maes breathed into the phone...Roy knows where this is going.
"No Maes. Fuck off." Roy said, hissing out the name like it's poison.
On the other side of the call, there was a sudden silence. Maes was extremely stunned, for some reason.
Roy ended the call, and cuddled with Ed until Edward fell asleep from the tears.
Ed knew what to do when he fell asleep. He knew what to do, and what to write to get the money to do it.
He was going to save Alphonse.
