The Way Things Are. (Edward Elric x Reader)

Ling, What?

~~~(f/n)'s POV~~~~

You felt uncomfortable as you awoke. You bolted up right wondering-

"Where the hell am I going to be this time?"

You looked around and realized that you were in your room. You looked down at your stomach and saw only a scar across. No blood, no bandages, no pain. Just a simple scar. As you made your way out of the bed, you felt your head spinning.

"Ugh. I got up too fast." Everything was still spinning as you walked towards your kitchen.

You saw a few blurry figures and grabbed against the wall to keep yourself upright. When your eyes settled down, you saw Ed, Ling, Tatum, Greed, and Naja? You studied her and realized she had bandages all over her body. She even had a cast on her arm.

"Hey Ariana! Come join us! You must be starving." You looked around and saw Ed smiling.

The only empty seat was next to his.

"No thanks. I'd rather starve than sit next to the likes of him." You smiled, in a passive aggressive way, and then walked back to your room, locking the door behind you.

You jumped into the bed and felt the warm blankets surround your delicate body.

A small knock was heard on the door.

"Get the hell away from me." You called out.

A jiggle of keys was heard.

"Fuck!" You yelled before covering yourself with more blankets.

You heard the door open just for a second, and then close.

"(F/n), we need to talk about what happened." You heard Tatum's gentle voice.

She sighed heavily.

"Ed, didn't cheat on you. Madison just went for it and kissed him to piss you off. She did it because she's an evil bitch. Ed loves you. He wouldn't have done anything to hurt you. He cried, because he knew that he did. He was so scared he would loose you, and he understands your mental state and he tries to keep you sane and alive. He wouldn't have searched for you and fought with Naja for you."

Tears streamed out of your eyes without warning.

"You really believe he loves me?" You asked.

"You know how I know?" She gave a small, gentle smile.

"How?"

She stood up and swung the door open, and Ed was on the ground sobbing into his arms.

"I don't think just any guy would cry for you."

He stood up quickly and wiped the tears away from his red eyes.

"S-shut up!" He yelled

He looked at you and walked over to you. He stared at you for a couple seconds. Quickly he pulled you into a tight embrace.

"I love you so damn much. I can't live without you." He whispered into your red ears.

You felt tears fall onto your shoulder.

And for just those few minutes, you both embraced each other. The world falling completely still.
