"I can't say… well… I could… but that wouldn't be a very smart of me would it?"
The small young man spoke as the rain continued to fall over his pin striped suit. The black and white which made it up did his appearance true justice as his beauty was captured with each and every droplet of water. His hair had been tied in a ponytail, while his vest which covered his upper body seemed to grow dark due to the water it had absorbed. The white shirt which lay beneath it seemed to hide none of his physical features.
"You're going to have to make your choice Al…"
The young man pulled for one of his hands which had been resting in his pocket. The heavy sounds of the hand had been moving through his pocket for some time, and it was shown to be a thick and heavy gray tint to it. And as the hand began to emerge from his pocket, the visible image of the entire arm crafted of metal and wires was made visible. The pale white shirt had been drenched now, and the fingers which had now reached out for the image before him.
Within the streets stood a suit of armor stood still in the midst of rain. There was no movement, no warmth, and no life from the suit which had been sitting there in the midst of the rain. The plate armor, slowly began to move as the constant clanking and clattering began to emerge from the seemingly lifeless suit.
"And what is there for us brother…"
The suit began to advance forward, the slits which made up his eyes slowly began to filter in a thick amount of light. Two crimson pupils made themselves known through the rain as they advanced towards the image of his brother. He had found himself unable to stand in silence, and as he attempted to continue forward only to stumble forward falling to his knees in weakness.
"What is there for us to do…There's nothing left for us to do…Ed."
The suit had fallen to his knees grabbing a hold of his brother's metallic hand. The rain continued to beat against their bodies as the constant whimpering of each of them was heard through the alleys. Yet the tears that the shorter one began to shed were masked by the falling rain. While the suit of armor bore none of his own, yet the droplets which slowly began to overcome his helmet started to take own the form of tears.
"Don't worry… Just… Don't…"
The alleyway in which the two had been standing in slowly seemed to feel as though it was fading away from the world. The people seemed to walk past the small walk way which had been resting in between the two skyscrapers. The towering skyscrapers looked over the world as though without a care in the world. They housed countless number of men and women who wore their suits as though they were a badge of honor while looking down onto the rest of the world.
The streets rain wild with the constant beeping and sounds of the wheels of the streets began to crash through the puddles. The constant repetition that was born as each of the cars seemed to pass through the waters did nothing to the two as the world around him seem unparsed by the image of the brothers holding onto one another while tears ran down their face. They seemed so small in the grand scheme of things, and as the world continued to stand still the two simply held onto each other silent.
