I babysit these three kids down the block. The eldest girl is always taking offense easily when I call her small, the younger girl is quiet and polite, and the little boy thinks he'll marry every girl in the world with his good looks. All I could think of right then and there was: Ed...Alphonse...Roy... Just goes to show I watch/read too much FMA.
A FullMetal Alchemist fanfic: Lost Memories: Prologue
"Roy-san! Roy-san!"
19-year-old Roy Mustang turned to watch the tiny golden-haired boy run unsteadily towards him. He smiled. "Ready to go Ed?"
The little boy brushed his golden bangs out of his eyes and jumped onto Roy's back. "Piggy-back ride!"
"If your younger brother catches you he'll make fun of you..." Roy warned teasingly.
"Al's went with mom to get more food, he won't see me..." Ed pouted.
Roy hoisted the light-weight boy on his back and started down the dirt path road leading to the nearby river. "Where's your girlfriend?"
Tiny hands pounded on his shoulders. "She's not my girlfriend!"
Roy laughed. "How old are you now, kid?"
Ed counted on his fingers. "One...Two...Three...FOUR!"
"Four? You look like two to me..."
The little boy kicked his feet and hit Roy's shoulders some more. "Don't call me small! I'll rip your hair out and feed it to the fishies!"
Roy laughed again. Bouncing Ed higher on his back, he broke into a run towards the distant low sun. The child on his back whooped and clung on to Roy's firm arms, digging his ankles into Roy's sides like a rider spurring on his horse. Roy complied and began to gallop, making whinnying noises as he ran. It continued like that until Roy reached the river bank where he gently lowered the excited Ed onto the hillside.
Ed jogged back and forth along the river, poking at the surface-wandering fish every once and a while to emphasize that he was taller than them all. After a while, he flopped down on a grinning Roy and curled up in his lap.
"Nii-san..." Ed mumbled laying his head against Roy's chest.
"Nii-san?" Roy blinked in surprise.
"Yep." Ed smiled with his eyes closed. "You're big brother..."
Roy smiled fondly at the little boy in his lap, lifted the boy's golden bangs, and leaned down to kiss his forehead...
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Ed woke up screaming.
Well, enjoy another fun and exciting FMA story. I really love writing the Young Roy and kid Ed parts! I start laughing while I type so it sounds like: Haha type type haha type type type...
Reviews are great, they make me feel good.
Chapter One is coming soon because it's summer and I can write! I promise they'll start getting longer after this!
