Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist and it's characters. K?

One is All, All is One.

Time doesn't stop. That's what they've learned when they were young.

Pairing: Elricest, GreedXAl

Rating: PG-13

Notes: I've nearlly 20 fics unfinished, and I'm starting a new one! My brain's right side has always been full of new one's, but my hands are to slow (lazy) to type or draw something. Anyways, this is a parallel mangaverse and Al's POV (except for the first sentence). Thankfully, I was able to finish this fic on the same day I started it. It just need's editing or something...

Hourglass

Alphonse's happiness, whatever happens, was for his prayer to be answered...

He asked for time to be stopped, that's all...

Time passed, longer- longer-

My only treasure that's left were the memories of my brother.

He was selfish and strong, but he's actually a really loving person.

Time passed, and beyond that, it was too late, he was gone...

All that I treasured was only his memory...

The memories about my brother...

His age didn't stop him from looking for what we seeked.

Didn't gave up, even if we always end up in a dead end.

He gained knowledge, but he wasn't able to use them for our real cause in the end.

His time stopped, while mine continued...

Under this empty armor, I am still just a child.

Eversince my link to the real world dissapeared, my mind wasn't able to develop anymore.

All I could remember were the memories we made before he passed away.

And the people on those memories- also gone, and now...

I became very very lonely...

Then suddenly, a familiar person came...

'Ah, at last, I've found one of my long lost belongings...'

The man said, grinning widely, as he offered his tattooed left hand to me.

'They're all gone. You're the only one who's left...'

There was gladness hinted in his voice as he found me-

But at the same time I feel sad for him from his last line.

'They're all gone...'

His most loyal friends. Yes, I remember them all...

I see, he has lost them because of the same reason.

The unstopping time, that doesn't affect the both of us.

Another hundreds of years later, I found myself underground...

He was back in his Father's side, and I'm with him.

I knew he didn't want it, but he said it was for my safety...

I didn't want to be safe from anything, but-

Then again, he was happy when I came with him.

So I was- somehow- happy as well.

He was the face of Greed as so he says,

But he really only says that. There's no truth to it.

He says that I am one of his precious belongings,

It was the only reason he could give me so I'll stay by his side,

Cause he never got along with his other Homunculus siblings-

Even if they're able to go against time like me.

I never saw him bring down his pride again- except-

For that time when he asked his maker, the Father, for forgiveness.

He was too shy to tell me honestly that he wanted me there,

So none of us would be lonely...

I was the only one left that reminds him of his past chimera's,

Who were his real friends, his real family...

He was selfish and strong, but he's actually a really loving person...

Like my brother...

By now, I have made my decision-

Somewhere while time is still flowing,

I might find more people whom I know-

Niisan, will I still be able to feel you if I wait?

While time is still not stopping for the both of us.

Whatever I see, whatever happens, I'm happy.

As long as I'm in this man's side, I'm happy...
