The Element alchemist-Chp. 3

3


When I saw him stirring, I thought that he might be waking up.  I wanted to see if the whole “eye-bondy-thingy” was real, so I turned to face my books.  At this time, I had my alchemy book open.  Even though I wanted to study more, I kept glancing out the corner of my eye to see when he would wake up.  To be honest, I was nervous.  I wish he would just wake up already!

Finally, out of the corner of my eye, I saw him open his eyes a bit.  He groaned in pain.  Out of the opening between his eyelids, I saw that his eyes were gold.  At least one shade thicker than mine, or even to exact same color.

He closed his eyes and then opened them once more all the way.  He looked around and my heart started going crazy.  It was then that I heard his voice for the first time.

“Where am I?” he said.  “What happened?”  His voice…damn spell!  I pretended that I was reading.  I couldn’t with him there.  God, I hope that this would end soon.

“You’re at Grace Clinic,” I said, trying to sound as normal as possible…FAIL!  “You had a nasty stab wound to your chest.  A little right of your sternum.  Just missed your auto-mail.”

“Really?”

I nodded.  It felt like he was looking at me so I took the chance to look at him…Straight in the eyes.

As soon as our eyes met, we gasped.  At the same time we both widened our eyes and just continued to stare at each other’s eyes.  I noticed he was starting to blush and I mirrored.  Eventually, we both looked away.  I felt better.  I was able to concentrate finally.

“So what’s your name?” I asked looking back at him, feeling completely normal again.  “I’m Raven Grace.”

He was still looking away when he answered.  “E-Edward Elric,” he said nervously.  He finally turned to face me.  “Nice to meet you.”
