Do you still love me?; Edward and Paula only.

A series of sharp knockings and slams could be heard throughout the sanctuary, as well as a trail of shredded clothing which could be seen leading up the stairs, towards the west wing, if one were to follow it closer, it would lead to a rather large refurnished apartment farthest to the end of the wing. Inside a few more doors slammed open, and closed again, on further investigation, the culprit of the noises could be found.

There on his bed lay the newly rearrived alchemist, his blond hair fell loosely about his figure, sharp breaths and gasps escaping his throat as he curled into a ball, the pain of severed nerves hurting him beyond all end.

"GAH!" Edward shot up, the burn marks hurting as well, B.B had almost burnt his entire right side of his body off, and now it looked increasingly painful, the skin somewhat tinted a dark red, almost as if his body were covered in a permanent shade of blood. He sighed, slowly edging himself back onto the bed as he looked upwards to the ceiling.

"Paula...."

Paula arrived to the apartment a short time later after having picked up the pieces of automails from the battle ground that had used to be Tower's Gate. If she had teleported, she would have been there before Edward, but she took the same route he did in case he didn't make it all of the way back.

She had the pieces in her dress in a hammock-like fashion. Holding the fabric, she manage the lock to apartment that she had kept up while Edward had been away. She dumped the parts onto the table and went looking for him.

Upon finding him, spread out like that, a cry got choked her throat. She went to his left side and caressed the right side of his face with a hand as her own went against the left cheek.

Edward... she send to him, and even in his mind, she sounded like she was crying.

''Paula...." He winced as he sat up slowly, looking at her, and somehow still managing to force a smile.

Look at me... I'm crippled, No arm, heh.. Isn't that funny? ... Because the little brat couldn't keep her guns in her skirt..

He seemed to weak for much mental contact, his eyes almost seeming to roll back into his head as he scooted into her, the pain on his hips flaring, but it didn't matter, he was where his heart lied, with the one he cared about, she dulled his pain like she always did, bringing comfort into any situation.

''Don't cry, alright?... That's the last thing we need right now..."

The alchemist's hand moved onto hers, clasping around it tightly.

Paula gave his hand a squeeze, but moved him back down to the bed by pressing on the uninjured side of his body with hers. She seemed to curl up around him as her mind wrapped around Edward's, embracing it.

She tried to stop crying, but couldn't. She was over-joyed to have him back, but it hurt her to see him injured like this. Her fingers laced with his.

"Edward... I love you whether you're whole or in pieces," she managed to say in a firm voice. "And I always will."

Regardless of his current position, he managed a smile.

I love you to Paula... So much.. You have no idea..

He pressed against her, coming closer as his head rested a few inches from hers, his breath playing across her smooth skin, he drew her into his arm {xD} resting his forehead against hers.

Paula tilted her face up and kissed him. She wasn't going to moving away from him anytime soon.

I missed you so much Ed. She pulled away slightly and looked him in the eyes, her hand going back into his hair. I never lost my faith in you... I'm so glad you're home...

You looked a little older Love..

He winced as he moved, the burnt flesh aching softly, he pulled her close once again with his one and only arm, kissing her softly and then drawing away, his arm running up and down her back, rubbing it smoothly.

Did you honestly think I wouldn't come back? Not even the laws of space and time.. could keep me away from you..

I think about a lot of things but that was never one of them.

Paula sent a light frost over the burns on his body to cool them down and numb the nerves. She brought her hand to her face and pulled the glove off with her teeth, then tossed the glove to somewhere on the floor so she could place her bare hand along Edward's neck.

She sighed contently. She would stay like with him until he passed out or went to sleep, then she would go find someone who could help with his arm.

Edward was exhausted, saying the least, he closed his eyes slowly, keeping his gaze locked on Paula's the whole time, it was as if her image soothed him, calmed him beyond his own understanding.

His head slowly dropped into her hand, his breathing slowing, as he finally drifted off to sleep.

Paula listened to his breathing slow and after a few moments, she sat up, kissing his forehead. Standing up from the bed, she looked at his wounds.

If I had only finished her off sooner, she grimaced.

She left the apartment.

[Exit Paula]

Paula returned to the apartment, juggling a dismembered arm in hers as she tried to get through the door. When she managed to open the door by leaning her hip into it, she crossed the floor to the bedroom where Edward was resting.

Installing the new automail could wait, so she left the arm on the nightstand and went to the kitchen to start fixing lifenoodles. Lifenoodles was a very heathly dish that always made her feel better after a hard battle back on her earth. Prep time was short, she left the pot to boil and cook the noodles and returned to the bedroom to check up on Edward.

Edward mumbled lightly, something along the lines of "Homunculus" and, "That Damned Dante." could be heard while he talked in his sleep. Though this only lasted for a few moments as he curled up in a ball, nuzzling into the place that Paula had been resting.

Paula went around to the side of the bed the Edward was facing, finding her glove she had left on the floor. She took off the other one and let it fall next to it before kneeling beside the bed. She examined his right shoulder where the automail arm would have to hook up to at some point; a metal plate that extended onto his chest there where some scars, but for now they were burn marks.

Paula looked up for moment, thinking that she heard something, but then looked back at Edward. Everything outside - the conflict at Towers Gate - could be forgotten because he was home and if anyone had needed her the most it was him. She reached out a hand and carressed his cheek.

''Mmmm..." The alchemist stirred ever so slightly as she caressed his cheek, his golden eyes opening as he blinked lightly, yawning. "Paula, are you alright?" He leaned up, the pain in his side having diminished to an extent, allowing him a range of limited mobility without his body having to ache so much.

He waddled over to where she was on the edge of the bed, grunting all the way.

Paula rose and sat next to Edward on his left, unburnt side, putting her hand behind his back and bringing it to rest on his shoulder. She leaned into him, smiling. "Yup," she answered simply, looking up at him.

Fullmetal sighed once more, he didn't reach to wrap his arm around her, or caress her like he usually would, he simply rested his head against hers, looking down at his uninjured arm which was layed across his lap.

Paula reached her other hand and placed it on the back of his head halfway into the hairline, her thumb rubbing back and forth on his neck just below his ear. His body langauge told that something was wrong.

"Edward..." she softly. "Do you want to share?"

His eyes closed in contempt as she rubbed along his skin, the movements serving to calm him. Slowly he moved his arm from his lap and set it on hers, rubbing her leg. "Paula... "

The arm the lined his back moved to wrap around his shoulder joining Paula's other hand near Edward's neck and pulling him closer to her.

"Tails had another automail arm for you..." she said, trying to not go ahead and invade Edward's mind to find out what was wrong. "It's... different."

He winced, scooting in closer to her as he layed his head against hers. Though she couldn't see his head, it was clear that he had finally allowed his problems to surface. "It hurts Paula.. it hurts so bad right now, I don't know if I can stand it...'' Slowly tears started to stream down his face, his long bangs falling in front of his eyes and covering his face. ''I-I.. I can't do anything for you either.. I had my -sniff.- arm blown off by a little brat..." He continued crying, the pain increasing from the movement in his side.
