Had this urge to write, don't know what but I'm sure something will turn up on the page.


He sat staring out over the water, tear tracks long since dried on his cheeks. How could brother be so mean? Didn't he want father to come home? He really didn't understand Ed but did he need to understand him to be his brother? Was understanding necessary to love someone? He didn't think so but then he was only 9 years old, perhaps he would learn more about it when he was older, he hoped so.

He heard a sound behind him and jumped a little when Ed dropped down next to him. It was obvious he was sulking, the lip was a dead giveaway. Al smiled, it was always the same. Ed would say something that upset Al, Al would run off and sit by the water and their mother would send Ed to find him. It was comforting to know that that would never change, it would always be a constant in their lives.

Ed sighed rather dramatically and Al looked at him, already anticipating the quick sorry that was custom before they headed home. What happened shocked him but made him happier than he had ever been before.

"Look Al, I'm sorry ok. I guess it's just that I remember more about him than you do and I want to protect you from ever being as hurt as I was by him." Al's jaw dropped in an almost comical fashion. Ed was being open for the first time in...well ever. He was afraid to speak and maybe break the spell his brother was obviously under.

"I love you Al and if anything were to hurt you then I'd..." Ed broke off without finishing but Al had already heard enough. He leaned over and gave his brother a quick kiss on the cheek before standing and looking down. There was a blush rising up Ed's cheeks and he looked at a loss for words. Ed's hand rose to softly touch his cheek where Al's lips had touched and Al smiled.

"Shall we go back brother? Mother will be wondering where we are." and with that, Ed stood, still shocked and bewildered by Al's actions but a smile spreading across his face as Al took his hand and they walked towards home together.


Oh dear God what is happening to me?? That could almost pass as fluff, Elricest fluff. Nooooooooooooo!!!!!! I've been corrupted by the dark side.

This may not be a good time to mention that my plot bunnies book has an idea that I'm putting off writing because it involves shouta (sp??). I used to be so nice and wholesome, I wrote happy little tales (about torture and angst) and now look at me :-]
