Yay, a new fanfic! Alright so I can't take the credit for this idea as I got it from a Tumblr prompt (FYI My tumblr is blissischocolate). I also wrote the first 486 words on my phone, so there will be grammar errors. Here is the prompt: I want Makoto meeting Alphonse and they become friends. And that's it. She/He didn't say any sort of relationship (Boyfriend), so I'm pairing Makoto with Haru as usual. Besides, Makoto/Alphonse would be an extremely awkward pairing for some reason xD Oh, and I know the prompt said Makoto meeting Alphonse and they become friends, but seeing as how Edward and Alphonse are rarely appart, it was far to hard for me to not include him. Besides, who doesn't like the Fullmetal Alchemist? ^.^

Warning(s): Ed is in it. Nuff said. In case you don't know or aren't familiar with Ed's rather large mouth, he has got a bad habit of swearing, hence the T rating.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or Free!. *cries deeply LIKE A BOSS*

I'll take more requests, but make sure to check my Bio before requesting. I usually take requests only on the anime on my bio, though I am flexible in terms of pairings (unless I strongly dislike a pairing). Anyways, enjoy and make sure to be nice in the review section, I am a lone fangirl who can't write worth a darn, so take pity pills. And if you don't like me, take kindness pills.

P.S. Ignore the horrid title; I was like "Y'know, I feel like a troll, so why not use a stupid title? Mwuhahahahaha". Oh, and this is just the Summary basically, not a real chapter. It's just how they meet.


Makoto smiled and waved as he watched the rest of the swim club depart, he himself right behind them. It had been the usual exhausting practice, though he couldn't say it hadn't been fruitful.

"See you Haru!" He called after his raven-haired friend, who waved in response with a slight smile. After watching Haruka disappear around the corner, Makoto continued on his way back home. "I'M NOT SHORT!" He heard someone yell angrily, pausing his steps to listen. "No one said you- Oh wait, yes they did." A quieter voice seemed to attempt to calm the screamer down, but it didn't seem to work. Makoto chuckled lightly, and letting his curiosity roam into his veins, he headed towards the source of the conversation.

He saw two boys, both were blonde and seemed to be brothers judging by the resemblance, though one was taller than the other. "Hi, I'm Makoto Tachibana." Makoto greeted politely, giving his full name in an attempt to show he was interesting in getting to know the two. Both boys looked up, though the shorter one (who didn't seem to like acknowledging he was short) had to look up higher due to Makoto's tall stature.

The taller blonde smiled and stuck out his hand, "I'm Alphonse Elric. And this is-" he paused after the other blonde sent him a withering glare. "I can introduce myself." He announced confidently, earning a shrug from Alphonse. "I'm Edward Elric, Alphonse's older brother." Makoto refrained from gasping. How was he older when he was so much smaller?!

"I heard one of you yelling and decided to introduce myself." Makoto explained. Alphonse laughed at the statement, but Edward seemed to be offended in someway, though Makoto couldn't guess why. "Ed always yells," Alphonse said in between chuckles. "I do not..." Was the muttered response, electing even more laughter from Alphonse and a slight chuckle from Makoto.

"I haven't seen you before, did you just move here?" Makoto asked as he took a seat on the bench next to their's. Alphonse nodded his head. "We might not stay here though." He added sadly. "Oh, that's too bad. We have lots of great stuff here in Iwatobi." Makoto smiled sadly, making sure to not dampen the mood to much. He should make them feel welcome, not make them feel as if they were about to leave.

"Attractions?!" Ed said excitedly, ignoring Alphonse's 'don't-you-even-think-about-it' look. Makoto nodded, pleased he sounded interested. "We have a Winter Carnival here," he gestured towards a decorated area, "and a lot of our restaurants here are really nice." At the mention of restaurants, Ed's stomach growled. Alphonse noticed and clicked his tongue, "I told you you should've eaten on the plane." He teased, chuckling when Ed's stomach growled at the word 'eaten'.

"The food on that plane was as shitty as Colonel Bastard's hair do." He huffed, preventing his aching stomach from growling once more. "Well, if you're hungry I know a few good places." Makoto offered timidly, trying his best not to sound shifty. Apparently he failed, because Ed began ranting about 'dark alleyways' and 'unspeakable things'. Alphonse sighed and shook his head at his brother's antics. "Sorry, he overreacts a bunch." Ed heard this and stopped ranting about 'birds and bees' and snorted in offense. "I do not!" Makoto couldn't help but laugh at the way they got along; they were the complete opposite, reminding him a bit of Rei and Nagisa or himself and Haru. "Ed, why don't you go find a restaurant to eat at and then come get me?" Alphonse suggested, becoming a little wary of Edward's ranting. Ed nodded and ran off, leaving two surprised people behind. "I'm surprised he actually listened." Makoto said, his laughter coming out in short bursts. Alphonse didn't reply, he simply burst out laughing and nodded his head.

Edward scowled. This was far to confusing for one dumb blonde- Damn it, Colonel Bastard was getting to him. "I can do anything!" Ed muttered to himself (it came out as more of a yell, but he refuses to admit it) in order to boost his confidence. All he had to do was find a restaurant that both he and Alphonse would like. Well, actually, he was mostly trying to find one that didn't have a bunch of milk in everything. "Normally I'd ask around, but..." He trailed off as he watched a mother chase after her child, who was running away towards lord-knows-what. He continued searching till he spotted some sort of noodle restaurant. It looked inviting enough, so he dashed off towards it, eager to finally eat something.

"Do you have any other siblings?" Makoto asked Alphonse, who shook his head in response. "Do you?" Alphonse asked curiously. Makoto nodded his head, "I have a little brother and sister." Both looked pleased that they had siblings, though Makoto still felt slightly awkward. Alphonse noticed this and brought it up quickly, trying to make Makoto feel comfortable. "Anything wrong?" Makoto faced Alphonse again and giggled. "No, it's just that I feel as if I'm talking to the older brother, not the younger." Alphonse smiled, "That's what everyone says." They heard a familiar irritated huff and turned their heads to see Edward, who was carrying Take-Out bags. "Everyone says what?" He asked slowly, eyes narrowing as he spoke. Alphonse snickered out a 'nothing', which only succeeded in making Ed even more suspicious. To prevent Ed from ranting again, Makoto decided to ask a simple question. "Oh, you got noodles?" He motioned to the bags the blonde was holding. Edward scoffed. "That's what I was trying to do, but noooooo, the stupid lady was all 'I'm sorry honey where are your parents' and shit!" Both Alphonse and Makoto burst out laughing, which set Ed off completely and he began a long, long rant.


Gah, the poor grammar ish real . Anyway, I hoped you all enjoyed this and feel Free! to request. (Admit it, you didn't see what I did there. C'mon, I even added an exclamation point!) BTW, normally I'd say review n stuff, but seeing as this as isn't technically a chapter, you don't have to if you don't want to. Byeeee~Melody
