I decided to do a small one shot. Very short. The song is the English translation of Brat'ja.Mustang looked up from his paperwork when he heard the door bang open with a force that could only be Fullmetal bursting into his office. He was surprised to see Ed nearly crying. "Hey, Fullmetal, you okay?" he asked. Right after he asked this Fullmetals brother Al ran into the room after his precious older brother.
"Just let me get this out" Fullmetal said close to tears, not noticing Al's presence in the room. Then he started to sing.
"How can I repay you brother mine?
How can I expect you to forgive
Clinging to the past I shed our blood
and shattered you chance to live
Tho I knew the laws I paid no heed
How can I return your wasted breath
What I did not know has cost you dear
For there is no cure for death
Beautiful mother, soft and sweet
one you were gone we were not complete
Back through the years we reached for you
Alas twas not meant to be
And how can i make amends
for all that I took from you
I led you with hopeless dreams
My brother I was a fool"
At this moment, Al started to sing an answer to Ed's song.
"Don't cry for the past now brother mine
Neither you nor I are free from blame
nothing can erase the things we did
For the path we took was the same
Beautiful mother, soft and sweet
one you were gone we were not complete
Back through the years we reached for you
Alas twas not meant to be
My dreams made me blind and mute
I long to return to that time
I followed without a word
My brother the fault is mine"
Now the two started to sing in unison to finish the song.
"So where do we go from here
And how to forget and forgive
What's gone if forever lost
now all we can do is live"
Mustang just looked on shocked at what these two just sung. Then he did something that he never thought that he would do. He got up and hugged them. These two brothers needed a father in their lives, and Mustang thought that he might just be able to help fill that need.
