Modern day Purpose AU

Don't need to read Purpose but you can

I do not own DGM or FMA

The date was January 5th 2045, the first day of school. One of my least favorite places, sure my brothers and I had access to books but not enough to satisfy us. We all loved science books but when that's all a library has it gets old.

We had been in this school for our whole school lives, kindergarten until now, 11th grade. Edward and I were 16, Alphonse was 15, we had no parents, we had lived with a friend of our mother until recently, when Edward and I got emancipated and were allowed to move out. Mother and our younger sister had both contracted a deadly illness that neither of them survived. Shortly after they had died all three of us were in a major accident, Edward had ended up losing his right arm and left leg, I lost my right arm and had endured so much surgery to save my life my hair had turned white and a scar down the left side of my face. Alphonse had endured a lot of brain damage and even now wasn't back to normal in any sense of the word, he hallucinated and he often didn't remember who we were.

I sat up slowly, taking in my surroundings, I also still had brain damage, though not to the same extreme as Alphonse. I swung my feet over the side of my bed and stood, closing my eyes to calm myself. I quickly and quietly got dressed before heading to the kitchen and preparing to wake up my brothers. As I cooked the eggs to my surprise I heard footsteps and a quiet voice, "Sister?" It was Alphonse, "Why are you up?" I smiled, at least he remembered me.

I breathed in, "I'm just making breakfast before I go to wake up Edward, you know how he is."

He smiled and nodded before doing something unexpected, "Can I help you?" I looked to my brother, even though it was stereotypical I always cooked for my brothers. I nodded and told him to keep the eggs from burning to the bottom of the pan, he skillfully did and I smiled, my brother was back, mostly.

I mentioned I would go get Edward and headed upstairs, he was the only one of us without any brain damage but his lost limbs took a serious toll on him, he was shorter than average though stronger. I stepped into his room quietly and stepped over to his bed. I sat on the side and gently shook him, "Edward…" he groaned, I knew he heard me, "Time to get up, breakfast is ready."

He sat up looking at me, "We aren't having milk are we?" I laughed as I shook my head, even after all that happened he still worried about a little milk. Even though Edward was my twin, and legally older he never really acted it, unless Alphonse or I was in danger. I think it was to make our whole situation seem better, but with Edward you never knew. He swung his feet over the side of the bed, I left to let him get dressed, slightly surprised that he got up so easily.

EDWARD'S POV

I watched my sister leave and sighed into my mismatched hands, I had been awake for hours worrying about her, after all hearing voices and screams could be alarming, especially with the brain damage. The hallucinations Alphonse had weren't as concerning because he was getting better, she wasn't. I sighed and got out of bed, walking quickly to the bathroom off my room for a shower.

After my shower I walked downstairs, dressed in my usual black pants, shirt and jacket, I had my gloves as well but I left those off in the house.

To say I was surprised when I saw Alphonse cooking to say I was surprised was an understatement, he often couldn't remember anything first thing in the morning, today was one of the rare cases he could, I smiled and watched as my older sister set the table efficiently, setting out the plates, cups and cutlery as if she had done it her whole life. I walked to the fridge feeling useless, grabbed the various juices (and milk for Alphonse) and set them out at our little round table.

We dug into the food quickly and worked together to clean up, we decided to do the dishes after supper, like we had throughout the break. Grabbing our bags, Reena and I putting on our gloves, we left quickly. We went to the only high school in the area, the Central City public high school in Northern Oregon, USA. We walked quickly, living too close to the school to bother driving, even in winter.

"-ard?" I jumped back into reality realizing I had zoned out, "Edward?" I nodded and Reena continued, "Which classes are you in this semester? I don't want to be alone in all my classes…" She trailed off, ever since our mother and sister had past none of us wanted to be separated, we were afraid to lose each other, or let each other get hurt, especially after last semester…

Flashback

I knew where Reena would be waiting, just inside the front doors where we would wait for Alphonse. I reached the door at the same time as always and Alphonse arrived right after, we waited a couple minutes before becoming concerned, she never took this long, never…

Hoping to find her we walked quickly down the hall towards her last class. It was at the last hallway before her class we first heard it, a thud and some curses, even though I didn't know for sure I felt it was Reena, I ran quickly towards the sounds and saw my sister, limp on the floor, somewhere between eight to twelve people surrounding her, fists bloody, "You freak… why don't you just die? Follow your family and die…"

I felt my metal hand connect with his face, conveniently knocking a couple of the people behind him down as well, "Alphonse, get Reena." I watched him help her to her feet, as I focused on the people who hurt her, my fist connecting with each one, I stepped back after they were all lying on the floor shocked, "Let's go home kay?" I looked Reena in the eyes as we walked, I knew what caused them to react like this, it was something a former friend of hers had spread around the school, sure it was true, but she wanted it to stay secret.

End Of Flashback

I stood beside her as she held her schedule out, thank goodness, the school had listened to me and put us in all the same classes, Art, followed by chemistry, drama and ending with biology. I smiled, she would never get hurt again if I had anything to do with it.

REENA'S POV

I looked at the schedule and breathed a sigh of relief, after all, I wouldn't be alone, Alphonse would though, that scared me, after all he was related to a freak… What would they do to him? He was fine for now and if they did hurt him I knew that I could now protect him, something I couldn't do then. I walked beside them as we silently walked to our lockers, all three of us together on the third floor, they had made an exception for Alphonse at the beginning of the year. I hugged Alphonse and walked with Edward to our art class, unaware how that class would change my life…

KANDA'S POV

I stared at my bedroom wall, I really should be at school but I didn't want to endure the same thing I had at my last school, the supposedly hot girls coming up to me to ask me out and not understanding when I had said not interested, some of the guys at my previous school had done the same, unaware of the many secrets I was keeping, including the one about my sexuality. I was never into guys, I never was into girls, I never was into anyone at all. I am asexual.
