I have always loved the anime Fullmetal alchemist particularly the plot an it's characters. My favourite being Alphonse Elric the extremely tragic protagonist of the story along with his older Brother Edward. So I thought why not give it a go and see if I can write a story about young Alphonse. Here's my attempt I hope you like I'll add chapters as soon as I can but I know this story will not be too long as it is just a small (no pun intended Edward) about Alphonse and what happens to the young character.

Okay this can be both set in the original Fullmetal alchemist or Brotherhood as the occurrence take place before both animes broke off into the different story's so set it in your preferred Fullmetal. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to leave a review good or bad I love to hear the constructive criticism you can give me. Also I love to read your thoughts. Enjoy.

Alphonse Elric- Always Human

Chapter- Home sweet home

The sun cast an orange glow over the rural town of Resembool creating an elixir of colours from amber to yellow as the rays of the late day touched down on everything.

A little boy sat happily on the ground carefully picking a bunch of daisies that had taken on the same orange glow as the sun. He let out a smile towards the bunch of flours in his hands as his golden eyes sparkled a little from his accomplishment. He then slowly stood up carefully holding the bunch of daisies in his hand. His short golden hair blew a little across his eyes as he continued to look at his flowery accomplishment.

Suddenly a second boy ran past him matching the other boys golden eyes and hair only it was slightly longer but the boy slightly shooter ran as fast as he could towards a small, white painted house next to an old tree with a swing.

"Come on Alphonse, last one there doesn't get any dinner!" The other boy said as he ran past the little boy now identified as Alphonse letting out deep breaths as he ran as fast as he could.

Alphonse looked over to the other boy and let out a smile and then a frown as he began to run as fast as possible in pursuit of the other boy towards the house. He quickly burst into a sprint already knowing that his efforts were futile since the other boy was too far ahead.

Panting Alphonse let out his first sentence to the boy since they had started to run together. "Brother waits for me…. Not fair I didn't know we were racing!" Alphonse yelled towards the other golden haired boy identified as his brother.

Alphonse heard a cocky and cynical tone in the boys laugh as he mocked him for his efforts as the boy reached the house and burst through the door.

Alphonse soon caught up and entered the house closing the pale green door and making his way into the kitchen where a strong smell coiled its way into Allophones nose and to his stomach making him crave the delicious sent.

His eyes then rested on a woman with dark brown hair a purple dress with an apron as she looked over the stove stirring a bowl, where the enticing smell was coming from. She turned around as she heard the boy's arrival. She bent down and looked at the other boy with a welcoming smile and embraced him in a small hug. "Edward, Alphonse? Good boy's dinner will be ready in a few minutes." She said in a pleasant and motherly voice as she let go of now known as Alphonse's Brother Edward and looked over to Alphonse who held as shy and sweet smile to her.

Alphonse hurried over to her and gave her a warm hug which she instinctively returned and patted his head softly before moving to look at her youngest son.

"Mom… Here I picked these for you…" Alphonse said as he raised his hand that clasped onto the daisies that now had several heads missing on account of his little race with Edward.

The woman or Trisha let out a larger smile as she scooped up the daises and patted Alphonse on the head again. "Their beautiful, thank you sweetheart… I'll put them in some water while you and Edward set the table for dinner. Thank you so much." Trish said as she stood back up and reached into a cubed grabbing a cup and filling it with water from the sink. She then placed the cup on the windowsill with the collection of headless and miss figured daises inside and then returned to the stove.

Alphonse let out another smile as he progressed to a draw where he pulled out some spoons and placemats setting the table for dinner. He then took his seat on the table playful kicking his legs up and down such as most little children would do. Edward took a seat next to him and the pair looked over to Trisha as she poured soup into the bowls and grabbed three small loathes of bread to go with it.

She walked over to the table and deposited the soup to its place and then returned to the counter grabbing three cups and a pitcher of water that was already filled. She deposited them on the table and filled each cup with water and then sat in her seat to enjoy the dinner she had made with her sons.

They all began to eat Edward took large and loud slurps of soup with his spoon and then ripped the loath into pieces and dropped it into the soup then contused to eat his self made mess. Alphonse then decided to dunk his bread in the spoon and then bite into it a little more civilised and less messy than his older brother.

Trisha was the odd one out as she took small sips of soup blatantly ignoring the bread, leavening the bowl half full she placed her spoon down as her face twitched slightly as if she was in pain. Absorbing the pain she then replaced the twitch with a smile as she continued to watch her sons finish their dinner.

Alphonse before he knew it was starring at the plane white ceiling of his room. His brother asleep across the room letting out small snores that could be mistaken for some distorted tune. Al let out a smile and turned away lying on his side he looked out the window of his room to gaze at the millions of stars the night had graced.

"Hey Al you awake?" Edward asked slowly his voice was slow and slurry showing that he had just woken up.

"Yeah Brother what is it?" Al said as his body turned to face Edward's side of the room in the darkness Ed was a little hard to see but he knew where his older brother was.

Edward looked away and closed his eyes again. "Nothing just wanted to know you're still there that's all."

Alphonse let out a smile and closed his eyes allowing the sleep to take hold of him. Whilst his mind crossed through the thought of his brothers comment. Where else would he be than here with his brother and mom? It was impossible to be taken away from his home like that wasn't it? He then slipped away into a deep slumber as his dreams took hold unfortunately it couldn't be said that the dreams the night would give to the young boy would be happy.

Okay that was the first chapter hope you like it. It was just a short (sorry I did it again Ed) and sweet intro the story and Alphonse himself. I hope I kept them in character. I'll update as soon as possible thank you for reading please don't forget to review or PM see you next time.

Thanks again :)
