Please Don't Go - A Fullmetal Alchemist Fanfiction

Please Don't Go

Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist

"I don't see why I had to go with you," Ed spat rudely. "And why couldn't Al at least come. It would have been better. There would have been someone to talk to beside you."

"Can you stop complaining, Fullmetal?" Roy asked, his patients at the brim of the cup.

Ed only crossed his arms over his chest and pouted. A very childish thing to do. Fullmetal's still a child, a voice in his head told him.

He shrugged it off and continued walking. The mission was simple. All they had to do was go to the park and figure out why all of the birds were suddenly dropping dead. Simple enough. Too bad they never got there.

They were crossing the street when he heard someone shout, "Colonel! watch out!" before he was suddenly forcefully pushed out of the way. The Colonel stumbled a few feet forward before hearing screeching tires, a scream, then-

CRASH!

Roy spun around, scared for what he was about to see. A large white car had driven straight through the red light. They picked the wrong light to go through. Roy thought, beginning his march forward.

But something made him stop in his tracks. There was blood running down the street. Thick crimson blood that released the metallic scent into the air.

Roy rushed forward and what he saw almost gave him a heart attack. Lying, half under the car, was a small blond Alchemist covered in blood. Roy almost threw up at the sight and his heart pretty much broke.

He threw himself forward and knelt by Ed's side, shaking the blond frantically. "Fullmetal, answer me damn it!" He shouted when Ed didn't respond. He can't be dead, he can't. There's just no way. Roy wouldn't stop shaking Ed. A crowd was forming, sirens could be heard in the distance, but none of that mattered to him. He couldn't even tell if Ed was breathing he was so scared.

Then Ed coughed slightly, blood running down his face, and Roy knew he was alive. "Colo...nel," He gasped, his voice no louder than a raspy whisper. His breathing quickened. "Ca'...brea...the."

That's when Roy tried to push that car off the lower section of Ed. It was preventing him from breathing, it had to go. Several people in the crowd walked forward, and with their help, Roy managed to push the car off.

With a pounding heart, Roy knelt back beside Ed and pulled the bloody boy up so his head rested in Roy's lap.

"Co..nel...I...hur'," Ed whined. "Make...stop...Ple'..."

"Don't worry, Ed. Everything's going to be alright," Roy lied. How could he tell the boy the truth? He knew full well that he was pretty much dying. But he didn't have the heart o tell him.

Ed's eyes opened so he was able to look up at Roy. Upon seeing his superiors face, his eyes filled with tears and he let them spill down his face. Roy ran his hand across Ed's blood smeared face, wiping away the tears that continued to fall down.

His own tears were forming but he held them in so Ed wouldn't worry. And so Ed wouldn't know that he was scare and knew something was wrong.

Sca-scar-scared," Ed whimpered. His voice was growing fainter, it could barley be heard over the pounding footsteps that grew closer with each passing second.

Someone had called an ambulance, and they had come to take Ed. Paramedics were trying to take Ed from Roy, but the injured kids hands refused to let go of Roy's shirt.

"Don't...wanna...go," Ed begged painfully.

Roy felt his heart break again and he slowly unhooked Ed's freezing fingers from the front of his shirt and momentarily held Ed's hand in his own. "Don't worry, Ed. You're going to go to the hospital for a bit, but I'll meet you there, alright?"
