-A few months later-

It has been a few months, and Pinako called my automail mechanic. Pinako, Winry and Joe made me an automail leg but I still need the surgery, I'll be getting it in a couple days which really frightens me to be honest. It'll go all the way up my entire leg, since my leg was amputated from my hip. Part of the my hip is missing. Yeah, I honestly don't know how I didn't notice that straight away when I woke up on the day of the HQ explosion. The place has now been fixed, and security is still on high alert. We still don't know who caused the explosion, and to top it off we now have a State Alchemist killer on the loose. Calling him Scar I think. Well, that's the news for the past month. With my recovery, it's been going well. Edward helps me if I need to go anywhere.

Sitting on my bed, I was just sketching when I suddenly got a knock on my door. "[y/n]? May I come in?" Edward's voice was muffles from behind the door. "Yeah su-" I stopped mid sentence as I remember that I was practically half naked. 'Oh shit' I leapt from my bed and tried to get to my chest of drawers but ended up falling over since, well, I'm kinda missing my wHOLE FUCKIN' LEG. The door creaks open with Edward peaking into the room. "[y/n]?" Edward then notices me on the floor in nothing but my underwear and short, loose tank top. "Woah! Are you okay?" He runs to my side, picking me up and carrying me to my bed. I nod. "Why were you out of bed? Did you need something?" "Yeah, I kinda was trying to get dressed since...uh." I stammer, Edward just nods with a chuckle. "Don't worry. I wouldn't care if you was naked to be honest. I'm not like that," He gives me a reassuring smile, "Do need some help?"  I nod as he heads over to my chest of draws, holding up random shirts up to his chest and posing while making a sassy, pouty face. "Does this make me look faaaat?" He tries to mimic a bitchy 'white girl' voice. I chose what I wanted to wear and he gave it to me since I didn't need help with that part. I wore [What the fuck you wanna wear]. (A/N: If you cba thinkin' of an outfit, default can be just a black shirt, flannel and jeans.) "Edward!" "Yep! Comin'" I hear jogging footsteps approaching the door, with Edward running in and shouting "Love is an open DOOR!" (A/N: I'm sorry for all these authors notes, Idc if this song wasn't made in that era, let's pretend it is XD)

Edward leans down, allowing me to put my right arm around his shoulder and back as he puts his left across my back. I'm smiled at his touch. It's comforting. He stands up and I do with him. We walk out of my room with me hopping. Pinako and Winry were in the kitchen with breakfast at the table when we walk in. "Oh, G'mornin' [y/n] dear. How's your hips?" Pinako smiles as she sits down at the table. "They're play, just a little sore today." Edward helps me sit down at the table then takes a seat next to me. "Mmh, I'd expect that for maybe a few more months. You did get part of your hip taken with that explosion." I nod. We all tuck into breakfast. "This is delish." I smile, "Why, thank you dear." Pinako chuckles. About half way through breakfast, Winry speaks up. "Oh, [y/n] do you think you would be able to handle the operation today or tomorrow?" I tense up. Alphonse had just walked into the room and had heard Winry. "Pardon?" "I'm sorry if I rushed you just then. I think it's just best to get it over and done with rather than just building up the anticipation." Winry shrugs. She's right. "I...guess we can do it today." Edward looks at me. "[y/n]," Edward pauses as he catches my attention, "are you sure?" His tone was serious. I nod. His expression relaxes slightly as he rests his hand on my thigh and taps it twice before removing his hand.

-A few hours later-

Pinako and Winry were nearly done with setting up the surgery. I was so nervous and Edward seemed to notice. Well, I did kind of bite my lip to the point of bleeding. He took my hand in his and squeezed it tightly. "You'll be okay. I'll be there with you through every second of it." He gave me a reassuring smile. "You're tough! I'm sure you'll do just fine!" Alphonse says brightly. I give a nervous chuckle. "[y/n]." Winry was at the door way, she motions to follow her into the room. I gulp, Edward stands and picks me up, carrying me through the doors. "Good luck, [y/n]! You'll be okay!" Alphonse waves. Edward sets me down carefully of the operating table, which was ice cold. I lay down on it, my whole body was shaking. Edward kept my hand in his and always held a reassuring smile. Pinako comes to my side. "Okay, we will start soon. Are you okay dear? Are you sure you want to do this now?" I nod. 'Oh god, please get it over with. I'm fine just please get it over with.'


A few minutes passes with Edward talking to me and trying to take my mind off of the pain that was going to ensue, since Pinako and Winry were sterilising the tools and applying anti-septic to were was about to be cut. I cringe at the thought. "Okay," 'oh no', "We are going to start now. Edward, try to keep her calm and try to take her mind of of it as much as you can." He nods. "Are you ready?" Pinako asks in a serious tone. I nod nervously. I feel the sharp pain of a scalpel drag across the sensitive scarring. I groan, the pain wasn't too bad, I was dreading of the time when they get to the bone. Again, I cringe at the thought. After a few incisions they finally got to the bone. Cringe. I hear a drill being powered up. I finally feel it hit my hip and I yell in pain. Edward tries desperately  to calm me down as much as he can. The strength of the pain only grows to the point where my eye lids are heavy and my vision goes blurry. Edward's voice sounds muffled. I can still feel the drill, pushing the nails and metal plating and supports into my hip bone. But I can't move, I feel paralysed.

Before I black out, I heard Edward say, "I'll stay with you." That beautiful, bright smile is the last thing I see before everything goes black. Such...a lovely thing to see. He said he would be there for me...

And he took away the pain.
