Picture Perfect Memories
Scattered All Around The Floor
Alphonse collapsed next to the pile of photographs that had fallen off his desk. He flipped through each one, all of them of him and his brother, Edward, who he hasn't seen in 4 years. They had had a falling out when Edward discovered Alphonse had let it slip to Colonel Mustang about their forbidden love. Alphonse had been alone since then. Tonight, just like every night before, he reached for the phone.
Reaching For The Phone
'Cause I Can't Fight It Anymore
And I Wonder If I Ever
Cross Your Mind
Alphonse let his hand rest on the receiver, before letting it fall to his side. Ever since then, Edward had been on his mind all the time, even in his dreams. Alphonse groaned, and looked at the clock. A quarter after one, in the morning.
For Me It Happens All The Time
It's A Quarter After One
I'm All Alone
And I Need You Now
Alphonse gave in, and picked up the phone, and before he lost his nerve, dialed the number Mustang had given him.
Said I Wouldn't Call
But I Lost All Control
And I Need You Now
Don't Know How I Can Do
Without
I Just Need You Now
Edward tilted the glass up to his lips, and drowned the drink in one gulp. It was day the he had walked on his little brother, and at that time, lover.
Another Shot Of Whisky
Can't Stop Looking At The Door
Wishing You'd Come Sweeping In
Just Like You Did Before
Edward glanced at the door to his apartment, his somewhat drunken mind wondering what would happen if Alphonse suddenly came through the door, apologizing. Edward titled his head back against the back of the couch, thinking of Alphonse, wondering if he too sat like this.
And I Wonder
If I Ever Cross Your Mind
For Me It Happens All The Time
Edward flicked his eyes to the clock on the wall, and groaned. It was a quarter after one in the fucking morning. He needed Alphonse. For years alone was too much for him.
It's A Quarter After One
I'm A Little Drunk
And I Need You Now
Edward started at the sound of the phone ringing. He got up and stumbled over to the phone, staring at it for a moment, before picking it up.
'Hello?' he answered, wondering who the hell was calling him at one in the morning.
'Edward?' Alphonse asked timidly.
'Alphonse,' Edward breathed, his little brother's voice sounded like music to his ears.
'Look, Edward, I'm sor-' Alphonse began to say.
'No, Alphonse,' Edward cut in, 'I'm sorry. I'm the one that walked out. I overreacted. I know now that Mustang wouldn't have said anything.'
'How do you know that?' Alphonse asked.
'I asked,' Edward said bluntly.
'Can…can we meet up soon?' Alphonse asked.
'Sure. How about tomorrow at our favorite café?'
'Sounds good,' Alphonse said, nodding although Edward couldn't see him.
'Wait. Do you think, maybe, you could come now? I kind of need you. It's been too long,' Edward questioned.
'Sure, I guess so,' Alphonse said. 'I'll need your address though.'
Edward winced. He felt guilty again, for not even giving Al his address. It was a small relief to know Al was still living close enough to come over so soon. '310 Autumn Street.'
'That's just around the corner,' Alphonse said, before laughing. 'I'll be there in a couple minutes.'
'Ok. We really need to talk.'
'Yes, we do. I really need you brother,' Alphonse said.
'Me too, Al.'
'I'll be there in a few minutes. Goodbye,' Alphonse said, not yet comfortable with saying those three precious words over the phone again yet.
'Goodbye,' Edward said. Finally, things would be good again.
