A/N: We've been through a lot haven't we? Through these eleven chapters. Well, I hope you enjoyed it at least. I know I promised another EdWin fic after this, but I'm kinda of slow on working on them, So it might be a while before anything comes up. I will try to write another one soon though.
Dancing in the Rain
Chapter Eleven
"They wouldn't dare!" Winry cried, getting to her feet and following Edward to the door.
"They are," Edward said, as he ground his teeth. "But to hell if I'm going to let them succeed."
He tore out the door, not bothering to close it behind him. Winry was quickly on his trail.
"How could they have gotten a warrant so fast?" she cried. "It's only been about two weeks!"
"I don't know," Edward said, his eyes forward as they raced out the building and headed down the street. "They seem pretty determined to murder my little brother." He hissed. Winry shuddered. It was true. They seemed pretty determined to get rid of Alphonse Elric. They tore down the street as fast as they can, ripping through small groups of people and causing men and women to yell at them. Winry bit her lip. She wanted to apologize but now wasn't the time.
They raced into the nearest train station and took the train to the hospital. Both were out of breath by the time they had ran up the four flights of stairs and headed towards Alphonse's room. Edward skidded to a stop in front of the door, and looked in, finding the room still empty. He tried to open the door only to find it locked. "Shit!" he said rather loudly. "We need to find Julie."
"No time," Winry said as she pulled a pin from her hair and easily picking the lock. The door opened with ease and Edward shot her a look.
"So that's how you got in." He said, before she smiled innocently and the two slipped inside. He frowned, making sure the doors were locked behind him before turning to look at her. "Well," he said stiffly. "What now?"
"Now," Winry said in a devilish tone. "We get your brother out of here."
Edward frowned, as he stepped up next to her. "How do you expect to do that? He kinda needs those machines to live." He snapped, eyeing the door uneasily.
"Exactly. But if we unplug them, they'll stay online for three hours before their stored power runs out. It's a precaution in case there's ever a black out." She said, looking around for the plugs. "That's plenty of time to get him to another hospital where they wont try and kill him."
Edward's frown only deepened. "And how do we get him out of here; throw him out a window?" he snapped.
"I'm working on tha-"
They both went dead silent as the doorknob turned and opened, revealing several doctors and a few nurses. All eyes were glued to the two teenagers that had broken into the hospital room. Amongst the people at the door, Winry spotted Julie, with a sad look on her face.
A doctor with deep red hair stepped forwards, glaring at Edward. Edward glared back. "Edward," he said calmly. "If you would please step aside, I need to get on with my work." Edward knew him as Warren. He hated him.
Edward resisted the temptation to spit on him. "No." He said defiantly.
"Edward," Warren said with a casual smile. "I don't want to have to make a scene." There was a certain venomness to his voice that made Edward growl.
"I'm not going anywhere," Edward shot. "Because I'm not letting you put one damned finger on my little brother."
Warren smiled sweetly. "How sweet." He said, before turning to one of the nearby nurses. "Call security." He muttered. The nurse nodded and bounded off.
Winry was filled with disgust. They were calling security, because he didn't want them to murder his brother? She felt like smacking that damned doctor across the face. Within a few minutes, two large men arrived at the door, and Warren smiled. "Now Edward," he said in a gentle voice. "Step aside, and let us turn off the machines."
Edward growled. "Make me."
He nodded and the two larger men stepped forwards. One turned to grab him, which Edward easily avoided. The two men tried to grab the blonde, only to have him evade capture. Winry thought it was a pretty funny thing to watch and would have laughed, despite the seriousness of the situation.
One of the men then caught Edward and pinned him to the ground. He cried out in pain when pressure was exerted to his back. "Get off of him!" Winry shrieked as she prepared to kick the man on top of Edward. It was then her arms were pulled behind her, keeping her from moving. She glanced over her shoulder at the other security guard, who gave her a stern look.
Doctor Warren stepped up to a nearby cupboard, grabbing a syringe and a small bottle of opaque white liquid. He filled the syringe and made sure all the air was out, taking his sweet time doing it. He then walked over to Edward, bending down next to him, a sweet smirk on his face. "Don't worry Edward," he said with sickly sweetness. "Soon, you'll be fast asleep, and then we can get you some help." He prepared to stick the needle into Edward's exposed neck, when said blonde bit down onto his hand. Hard.
Warren cried out, dropping the syringe and stumbling back, clutching his now bleeding hand. Edward wiggled one arm free and grabbed the syringe, stabbing it into the security guard's arm and quickly injected the liquid. The man looked dazed before he hit the ground hard, completely out cold. It wouldn't kill him, but he's be in dreamland for a few hours.
Edward bounded to his feet and turned towards Winry. He prepared to free her when he was jumped by several doctors and pinned to the floor again. He cried out and wiggled ruthlessly in an attempt to get free. Warren growled at him, and stepped up next to his brother's life support. "You brat!" he shrieked. "I'm calling the police and sending you straight to Juvenile hall! You should learn your manners there!" he snapped, resting a hand on the switch to turn off Alphonse's life support.
"No!" Edward cried as he continued to wiggle. "Don't do it! Please! I'll do anything! Please just... don't kill him!" Edward's voice was cracking as he spoke, and he felt like he, himself was about to shatter.
"Big brother... be quiet... I'm trying to sleep."
The room went dead silent, all eyes flickered to the bed where the voice had come from. Everyone seemed speechless as Alphonse slowly opened his deep brown eyes and looked over at Edward, who was still being held to the ground. "Al...?" Ed's voice was barely audible.
"What's going on...?" Alphonse mumbled, blinking slowly. "Where am I?"
Winry felt like jumping up and down. That was one victory for the good guys.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Warren mumbled, watching with wide eyes. In their shock, the doctors' hold on Edward loosened and he sprung to his feet, next to Alphonse in a second. Winry too managed to make it to his side.
"Al, you're awake!" Edward said, the joy clearly in his tone. "Are you okay? Who am I? Are you breathing all right? Do you remember your birthday? How many fingers am I holding up?"
Alphonse smiled lightly. "I'm fine Edward... but that's too many questions. I can't even remember them all."
Winry felt like crying from sheer happiness. Edward looked so happy. The boy had been too sad too long, and it was about time she saw a true genuine smile light up his face.
"I'm still going to have you arrested Edward!" Warren said, causing the two teenagers to look over at him. "You assaulted a doctor!"
"Actually," Julie mused as she came up to stand next to the three blondes. "We could have you arrested, doctor. You did indeed get a letter from the government stating you could cut off Alphonse Elric's life support, but, it said strictly in the letter that you would need a signed document from Edward Elric giving his permission to do so. Since you broke that law, we could call the cops and have you arrested this moment."
Warren grit his teeth and fled from the room.
Edward could help but grin.
"Now Edward," Julie said, turning to look at him. "I need you to leave the room for a few minutes. I would like to check a few things. Could you wait in the hall?" She asked with a gentle smile.
Edward nodded, grabbing Winry's hand, he led her to the hall. He laughed as soon as he was safely out. He then grabbed her hands and started dancing wildly with her. "He's awake!" He cried as he turned her. "Can you believe he's actually awake?"
Winry smiled. The grin seemed far too big for his face. She was happy for him. It seemed like everything was going right. He then stopped spinning, and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close with a devilish smile. She found herself staring into those mischievous golden eyes and felt her chest flutter. "You know what would be perfect?" He whispered.
"What?" she whispered. Deciding to play his game.
"If I kissed you." He smirked and pressed his lips to hers. Winry melted on contact. It was everything she thought it would be. Of course, she thought she would be in a deep blue gown standing under the moonlight and getting rained on by tiny snowflakes, not standing in the hallway of a hospital. But none the less, it was beautiful. It was like time froze, and they were in their own universe with just the two of them. After several minutes, the kiss broke.
"Perfect," he purred.
Winry shook her head. "No, it wasn't."
Frowning, he shot her a confused look.
Lovingly, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "It was absolutely Imperfect." She then kissed him again.
He had no idea what she meant, but let it slid as he held her close and kissed her lovingly. He didn't care about her riddles, and he didn't care what anyone else thought. Everything was right again, and that was all that mattered.
"Maybe Dancing in the Rain really did have something to do with it," he mused, as he gazed into her deep sky blue pools. "Nah. Couldn't be."
Fin
A/N: Tada! That's it! That's the end! T.T It's my first successful schoolfic ever and it's over. Well, I had a lot of fun. Although I made doctors seem really mean. I'm sorry to all doctors and medical supporters out there. I got a lot of letters with threats telling me not to kill off Alphonse. don't worry, I would never dream of it. xD I wish I could have given him a bigger part, and sometimes I wish I could have made this longer, perhaps adding Rose to the equation, but none of those ideas really panned out.
Anyway, I'm glad to everyone who read and reviewed. This was my first story which I got over two hundred reviews! (bows) Thank you, thank you. I'm still happy with this, and I can't wait to read your reviews again should I put out another EdWin story.
Thanks for reading.
