Well...I got the idea of this my fiction from something I used to do all the time... Writing letters always made me feel better...
I do NOT own FMA. Wish I did, but I don't. so don't sue me! and erm...if you don't like Shounen ai...GO AWAYYYYYY sob Please don't hurt feelings. This is a RoyEd just because I can and will write one. Well...let's hope I can anyway. Stuff like this 'I am obsessed with Palm Trees' are Ed's thoughts. (yes, I am obsessed with palm trees.)
Letters
It was a cold day and Edward just couldn't seem to keep his thoughts and feelings straight.
'What am I supposed to do now? I can't concentrate on this mission if my mind keeps wandering!!! K'so. The Colonel is gonna be so pissed at me if I keep messing up.'
Clank. Clank. Clank. Al walked into the box seat and closed the door behind him.
"Onii-san is something the matter?" Al asked, handing Ed a warm French- vanilla latte and keeping the hot chocolate for himself. (a/n: no wonder Edo is so short...he drinks a lot of coffee!!!)
"You can always seem to tell these things, Al." Edward let out a depressive and hostile sigh that furthered Al's concern for his older and littler brother.
"I have this problem Al...my thoughts keep wandering...I keep feeling strange things...I want to get it all out but nobody would understand and I refuse to say certain things out loud anyway..."
"Onii-san...remember what our math teacher told us? If you can't figure it out mentally, you should write it down."
'Write it down...now there's a thought...' "Al, what do you mean exactly?" the blonde haired teen asked his brother.
"In your case, Onii-san, write a letter." Al suggested. And with that, Edward wrote his first UL (undelivered letter.) "Al...it sounds so sappy and pathetic!" suddenly a nervous look struck his face. Luckily for him, Al didn't need or want to know whom the letter was addressed to.
"Well, as long as it gets what you want out, it doesn't really matter right? I mean, you aren't sending it to anyone so...right Onii-san?" Al's face would be expressionless to anyone else, but to Ed, Al had a questioning look on his face.
"N-no. I'm not giving this to anyone Al. Please don't mind me." a blush crossed the Hagane no Chibi's face and Al viewed that as a signal to drop the subject and go back to staring at the glistening flakes falling outside the train window.
The next time Al's eye was caught was when Ed was frantically trying to erase something on the paper, though he was writing in sharpie and thus not having much success. Finally, Ed stopped with that and went into a vegetative state of pondering.
'The question: To start it with dear, or just his name?'
This pondering lasted for 20 minutes after the letter was finished, as he was still too scared to address it to anyone in particular.
'Maybe I will just...make up a code name. That way I don't have to write out the real name and in case someone finds this...how about Audrey? Yeah, that's a common name.' The thoughts paused for a second.
'Now do I sign with Love, or just my name? I'm so confused. How about sincerely? Sure, whatever, it isn't like anyone is ever going to see it, and if they see THIS thing, I don't think they will care too much about how I signed before they start teasing me about it '
Ed proceeded to put the letter in a nice envelope and seal it by wetting the sticky stuff on the top seal. Then he put tape on it. Not just any tape, duct tape. "That should keep people out of it." He grinned in a satisfied manner.
"Uhh onii-san, isn't that a bit extreme?" Al asked as Ed clapped his hands together, preparing to make the seal permanent. "No."
"Oh reeeaaallllyyy. I wonder what it says that's so important! Writing to someone special?" Ed knew that if Al had his body back right now, he'd be grinning heavily and slyly, as to imply something that Ed definitely did NOT want implied.
"NO! I guess...this will be...good enough..." Ed carefully put the letter into his pocket and hoped to God that some pickpocket didn't come and steal it from him. "Come on Al, let's go. The train is stopping and we should get a head start on this so that we can get back to headquarters."
Al nodded and stood up, the feather-like thing on the top of his head pushed against the top of the train and (without noticing what he was doing) the large suit of armor know formally as Al moved. A few minutes later, he was wondering why his older brother was laughing at him.
"Al, your feather is wonked up again." Ed smiled. "Onii-san, please fix it for me..." Ed (having an immature "lets-get-back-at-Al-for-implying-things-he-shouldnt" moment) just started running foreward, turned back, and stuck out his tongue. When he faced forward again he was at the door and tripping out of it.
'Al won't be here for a while, I should probably wait right here for him. I hope I'm not waiting too long, I want to finish as soon as possible, and get back to him...it's driving me crazy not seeing him...' the blonde bean boy thought, and then (out loud) he added "I don't know why, but I miss you, Colonel." He quickly shook these thoughts from his head as his brother came from the doorway. "Well Al, let's go. I want to go back as soon as possible."
"Why onii-san? What's so important back at headquarters? All you have to look foreword to there is seeing Mr. Mustang and getting another mission..." And while Al pondered this, Ed let the silence speak volumes.
Authors Notes: Yes...I used to write letters to someone special every night or else I wouldn't be able to think correctly. I figured it'd be cute for Ed to write to Roy under the same circumstances. There are more chapters to come. Hopefully it will have somewhere in between 5 and 10 chapters...the first lot will just be different situations Ed gets urges to write in. Then something very different will happen...poor Edokun...he never saw it coming. Uhh ehehehe... Yeah. That's gonna be from my own experience/speculation as well. Enough about me. GAH. Review please. Don't flame me though without a reason...you'll hurt my feelings. Helpful criticism is good though!
