Day 69: Breakfast
Scar scowled, both relieved and angry that he had woken up once again in his own bed. That lanky man who had become his new roommate on the night of his death was sound asleep one bed over.
This was coming to be the new "normal." It was infuriating.
As always, he begrudgingly followed his nurse into the cafeteria and took a seat. He preferred to file in with the majority of the patients in order to avoid sticking out, but no such luck this morning.
Scar stared at his food rather than starting in on it, despite the newly found appetite that had been lost thanks to that blasted sickness. He had a lot to think about. He hadn't managed to find Frank last night. The damn intercom had beaten him to it. And judging by Tsubaki's reaction to him, he had been out for at least a day's time. How many had noticed? Cared? It couldn't have been many.
But it was the few who did whose detection Scar was desperate to avoid.
[Eddyyyy!]

Scar got to finishing his breakfast in silence. Prolonged conversation had never been his strength. Hell, this was probably the longest continuous conversation he had had since arriving!
Instead, Scar's eyes drifted up to Alphonse and lingered there. It was somehow not strange at all to see him like this, whole and human. His kindhearted demeanor had always shown through during his days in the suit of armor. Now it was even stronger. And now that Scar knew what they had been through...
Alphonse was everything Scar could have been, if he had only been stronger. This boy's suffering had shaped him into a compassionate and strong willed young man. Scar had only let it break him. It was a painful reminder of how weak he truly was.
But it was also why he was so fiercely protective of both the Elric boys.

He glanced in the direction Scar was staring before looking back at him. "Are you looking at him or her?"

"What?" He only half-realized where he had been looking. He had zoned out completely.

"I was not staring at anything!" he snapped.

"I am simply not used to seeing Alphonse as a human, yet. Sorry."
He reached across the table and smacked Edward in the back of his head.
"And that is not an acceptable way to talk about a woman," he growled.

"Given how much that dress of hers shows off, I doubt she'd mind that much," Ed said as he had a moment of his memory filling in just how much it showed off and oh god, was he starting to blush? What was wrong with him? He took a hasty sip of his juice and hoped Scar didn't notice.

Scar would just do it himself.

Ed idly made patterns in some of the syrup that got left on his plate with his fork.
