Okay… so this is my first FullMetall Alchemist fanfiction. It has yaoi, for those of you who are reading my work for the first time and don't know me well. I've had a crazy obsession with the pairing Edward and Alphonse Elric.

And yes dimwits, it's yaoi. There will be sex, and fluff. Between two guys. So get over it. If you don't like it, don't read it. If you do like it, feel free to read/review/squeal/faint. Any of the sort. I'm totally okay with it.

Enjoy

Edward woke up lazily from another near-sleepless night. He sat up, resting his right arm on his knee, fixing his left arm so he could rest back on it. Half-lidded eyes from exhaustion were plainly seen. He looked to his right where the window was located. It would be as black as a pit if the moon wasn't out. Its clear-white streams of light snaked through the threads of the curtains.

Again, Edward had woken up from another dream about Al, his dear little brother. Dreams of his brother in their earlier years, when they were being taught by their teacher, Izumi Curtis.

Tears seeped to the corners of his eyes as he thought of Al's laugh traveling through the sky as he ran around with the neighborhood cats. Other random memories, like when they had spared, when Ed fixed Al's armored body, and many more flushed into his mind. He covered his hands with his eyes, slight sobs escaped his lips. He shut his eyes in anguish. His hair was out of the tie that held it back, and yellow, glossy hair spilled over his face and shoulders, hiding him from the world.

Alphonse woke up that same night; he had just gotten out of the lavatory when he heard those sobbing sounds. He sighed in disappointment. He had heard that sound before from the boy's mouth. As he walked closer to Edward's room, the sound got slightly louder.

He contemplated what Ed would do if he knocked on the door. He decided to anyway, and did so.

Bonk bonk

"Ed…" Alphonse whispered. "Edward?.. Are you up?"

Edward's sob cut short, he sniffed. He pulled his hands down from his face, but only returned them to wipe away the over-used tears from his eyes. He coughed once he was done, and made sure to wipe away at his eyes once more, to catch any loose-falling tears.

Then, once he thought he pulled himself together, he replied to the call;

"Yeah…" His voice cracked as he said it.

He cursed under his breathe. This wasn't the first time Alphonse heard him crying.

Alphonse asked to come in, and without receiving any sort of no from Edward, proceeded to. He cracked the door open slowly, and slid in just as such. He closed the door behind him and leaned against the cherry-wood. His head was tilted down, so when he looked up at Ed through his bright blonde hair, his eyes looked sweet and innocent.

Edward's chest flamed when he saw the sight. The face of his brother so easily fixed on another's face. They even had the same name! The only difference was that Al's hair was more dark and brown, and his eyes were a hue of hazel-grey. And he was younger… much younger.

He looked up at Alphonse. He tried to smile, but it was lazy from sleep.

Alphonse sighed, "another dream about 'you're world'?'" He didn't add any emphasis to the words for Ed's sake, or more his own.

Edward chuckled forlornly, and raked a hand through his long hair. He closed his eyes.

"Like tonight would be any different…" he sighed quietly.

Alphonse knew he had the face of Edward's 'brother', and he was sure it hurt whenever Ed looked at him. But even though Alphonse was usually carefree and easy-going, he was in the most pain he would probably ever feel.

"Do you… wanna talk about it? Or something else to get your mind off things?"

Edward smiled and shook his head slightly. He looked at Alphonse with his lazy smile and replied,

"No, that's alright… I'm gonna try to get back to sleep… I'm sorry I woke you Alphonse."

"Oh, it's okay, you didn't wake me. I'll see you in the morning. Good luck getting to sleep."

"Night." Ed said, rolling onto his left side.

Before Alphonse left, he saw Edward's blanket on the ground. He picked it up and laid it over Ed's body, receiving a "Thanks" and small smile in the process. He saw Ed snuggle under the cover as he closed the door.

He headed back to his room. As the door closed, he thought of how he could tell…

To tell Edward would remove every ounce of guilt of pain from his heart, whether he was rejected or not.

If Edward was really going to get back to his own world, then he had to tell him soon. Otherwise, without him knowing, Alphonse would hate himself for the rest of his life.

"To tell Edward that I love him… Heh. What a burden-breaker that would be."

Alphonse Heidrich laughed into his pillow forlornly. He brought the covers up to his chin and fell asleep.

Oh my God! I'm so sorry, I didn't realize how short this was... TT

Sooo? How is it so far... I need reviews people! Though I'll probably keep up with this story, no matter if people like it or not.

Oh well, second chapter will hopefully make up for the lack of story.
