CLARE'S POV

We soon arrive at the boy's room and all at once we crash onto the couch, starring at the ceiling.

Me: Boy I'm dead. Can we just discuss about what we read tomorrow?

Al: Awe I was looking forward to actually doing something tonight.

Me: Sorry Al. I'm just too tired to think.

I fall to the ground which looks really comfy.

Me: Night.

Ed: YOU CAN'T SLEEP ON THE FLOOR!

Me: But it's so comfy.

I begin to close my eyes, but Ed lifts me up.

Ed: If you're going to sleep then sleep on my bed.

I suddenly blush a little and Ed pushes me towards his room while holding me up.

Ed: Come on, pick up your feet.

Me: I said the floor was comfy.

From the corner of my eye I can see Al snickering.

Ed: Al what's so funny?!

Al: NOTHING! Nothing at all.

I'm lost from why he's laughing, so simply I ignored him. We enter his temporary bedroom, and well I was suspecting it would be messy, but I sure guessed wrong. It's clean. Even cleaner than my room... Before I could admire his clean room even more he shoves me lightly towards his bed.

Me: Well I guess it's a close second.

Ed: WHAT?!

Me: I'm joking I'm joking.

I smile lightly and sat on his bed.

Me: So where are you going to be sleeping tonight then?

Ed: The couch I guess.

Me: I said I was fine with the floor.

His face goes red.

Ed: You are not sleeping on the floor.

Me: Awe fine.

Ed: I thought you were tired?

Me: I am, it's just.

Ed: Nina?

I nod.

Ed sits next to me and looks at his hands.

Ed: Try not to worry as much okay? She's gonna be okay.

I look over to my hands too and clenched them.

Me: But that's the thing though Ed. I don't know that for certain.

I look over to Ed who's already looking at me.

Ed: Would it make you feel any better if I was going to go ask Mustang a few questions about him.

I nod and laid back on the bed.

Me: Ed?

Ed: Yeah?

Me: Are you still worried about?

Ed looks over to me knowing what I meant and nods.

Ed: Why didn't you say anything about it?

Me: I thought it was nothing serious.

Ed gives me a glare, making me kinda scared so tighten my arms around myself.

Me: Okay next time I get a injured you don't know about, I'll tell you... Does that include paper cuts?
