Alfons turned his head around.

"Do you only love me because I look like your brother?"

Edward twitched. A sense of panic went loose. Alfons asked again, as serious as before.

"Do you?"

He looked Edward straight into his eyes, so he could'nt look away. No escape from the painful expression in his face.

"Who said I loved you in the first place?" Edward said, with a failed attempt to smile.

"You love your brother more than anything." Alfons said, and took a few steps towards Edward. He slightly grasped his hair and once again looked straight into his eyes. "Let me be your beloved brother." Edward quickly pulled away his hand.

"Stop saying such stupid things!"

Alfons looked at him with a soft smile. Edward rubbed his eyes that were starting to tear up and looked down into the floor.

"If myself is'nt enough for you, I'll be him. Your little brother."

Alfons once again approached Edward, and took a firm grasp of his hands.

"Alfons...stop it." Edward said, but with no response. Alfons took an even tighter hold of his hands and slowly moved him towards the wall.

"Nii-san."

Edward got scared. He looked up to meet Alfons face. Warm tears began to flow down his face. Alfons smiled.

"Are my impressions good?"

Edward tried to see Alfons for who he was, but all he could see was his little brother. He pulled out his hands from Alfons hands and began to walk towards the door.

"What's wrong, Nii-san?"

Edward looked back at Alfons, with his angry eyes teared to the brim.

"I love my brother."

His voice softened, and his eyes too.

"And I love you too, so stop being such an idiot!"

The door slammed shut behind him. He started runnig frantically towards the nearest door. Alfons started walking after him.

"Edward? I'm sorry."

He heard a door close and went the same direction from where the noise came. He opened the door and found Edward, leaning against the wall, with his knees dragged up to his chin. He sat down besides him and leaned his head on Edwards shoulder.

"I'm sorry if i reminded you of something bad. I thought it might be comforting."

He sighed deep before he continued and buried his face in his hands, not to show Edward his weakness.

"-But when you call your brothers name, it hurts. Thinking that I'm not enough for you."

Edward heaved a little.

"Don't be stupid. I don't want you to be anyone you're not. You might smell like him, look like him and act like him, but you are not him. So just be yourself."

Alfons twitched and pressed himself closer to Edward.

"You are Alfons Heiderich. I don't want you to be anyone else-"

"You are lying."

Edward quickly turned his head around to meet Alfons, who's face now was more serious than ever.

"When you first met me, you ran out of your empty corner on the street and threw yourself in my arms. Beacause you thought that I was your brother. What if I looked compleatly different? Then you would stay in your corner and continue to whimp like a dog, right!"

Alfons put his hand in front of his mouth and quickly regretted what he said. Edward just stared at him with his eyes instantly tearing up. Alfons threw himself at him and put his arms around his back.

"I'm so sorry. Please forgive me!"

"I told you so."

Alfons got a confused look in his face. Edward started smiling, the complete opposite of what Alfons expected.

"What?"

"Alphonse would never say something like that. You're not him. You are Alfons Heiderich, and I don't want you to be anyone else."

Both looked at eachother with smiling faces.
