Number Twenty Eight

“You... hurt, too?” Ed asked, leaning forward and looking up into his face worriedly. Roy balked a little, taken off-guard by the kid’s abrupt concern.

“It... It’s not really that bad,” he lied, trying to downplay his pain as best he could in spite of the fact that he could barely see straight. The last thing he wanted was the kid’s pity. Ed had enough to worry about as it was.

“Have pills,” Ed suggested, looking at the bottle that was still in Roy’s hand, “Feel better, yes?”

“No, I’m fine. It’s just a headache. It’ll go away on its own after a while.”

“Have pills,” he insisted sternly.

“You’d better listen to him, Roy,” Maes said with an amused chuckle, “It’s only fair, since you made him take them.”

Roy rolled his eyes and looked down at the bottle, reading the off-white label. It was a very mild form of codeine, but that was still better than the aspirin that he had planned on taking. “I guess it couldn’t hurt,” he shrugged and downed one of the white pills dry. Ed was right; they did taste bad.

“Very good,” Edward praised.

I've been wanting to do a proper fanart of this for ages, and only recently got around to it. I've done lots of chimera!Ed doodles, but this one turned out really well. I might do a less scruffy version one day.

...I think he looks a bit too fluffy. Maybe this is after Roy's fed him up a bit.

OKAY AND JUST NOW ME AND MY MUM HAD THE COOLEST CONVERSATION. XDDD *still in giggles*

Mum: *looks over and sees this pic* Ooo, what sort of dog is he?
Me: *grinning like a madman* He's a...mix of things.
Mum: He's lovely. I wouldn't mind a dog like that.
Me: I wouldn't either. ^___^~

My mum's cool.
