We all want something but there are things what we can't have. Alchemy is one thing what can give us what we want if we are ready to buy it in that way what they want and say. Ed is ready to buy wat he want.

Pairs: Roy and Riza and Ed and Al.

You are back.

The world was quiet. So quiet.

No where were anything or that was what it sounded like to everyone in that one building where peoples where now.

"Edward…"

The 17 year old boy nodded and just now noticed that he was sweating. He smiled a little for the armor in front of him.

"Nii-san…"

"It's going to be okay Al…" Ed said in the sweetest and calmest voice he could make out of himself just now even if he was afraid to even breath. Al nodded and sit down middle a large alchemist circle feeling more than so long time he had feel.

Everybody in this room where really nervous and sweaty… They all just wanted this to end happily and tried to encourage both of those two young alchemist quietly.

Edward sighed trembling and closed his eyes to calm himself a little but it didn't help. He was more nervous than he did expect himself to be. This wasn't good. He needed to be more stable he know it but then again he was now trying one thing what would in a worst case be his last try and he didn't in any it ending badly. He know he couldn't take it if this would go wrong.

"Edward…"

"I am okay… Just… I need a moment, Roy…"

Mustang just nodded and tried to calm down too so he took Rizas hand on his own. He wanted to speak but he knew that them all have to be quiet now.

Alphonse watched his brother quietly and also that book what Edward was now squeezing in his hands.

If he would be in some kind of body, and he would be soon, he would smile. That book was one of their fathers but what had been in this whole time in some other peoples house safe. It was just a couple notes of alchemist but his brother has understanding something now because of them. He had said to Al that this book was the one that was going to make him human.

Al didn't understand but Ed had said that he wouldn't have to. Just one thing was important to Al to remember. It was possible that he would see the gate and even if it was scaring as hell he shouldn't fight against it. He would need to just relax and keep his eyes closed no madder what.

"Al… Are you ready?" Edward whispered and Al could almost hear him gulp.

"Yeah… I am ready brother."

Al took a last glance around him, expecially that one mysterious box next to him what his big brother had brouth with him, before he just shut his mind in the best way he could but he still could hear his Brothers hands clap and then everything was like then when they tried to wake their mother back to life.

The lights where spinning around but then they grow stronger on every moment like his fear.

Al wanted to scream but he know that he would need to keep quiet and calm even if he didn't want to be. He remembered his brother advise.

And then it happened. Al was middle of nothing. He tried to look himself but he didn't see nothing but a door in front of him. He wanted so badly run when the door opened and then he thought he felt then. Those cold lifeless hands around him or so he thought and then everything was dark.

Edward blinked. Everyone blinked. The light had maid them all to come blind in some time but now it was going away and Ed could start to see again.

"Al? Alphonse?!" He tried to call his little brother and started to walk closer to the armor what somehow felt different now.

He touched the cold metal and watched it in almost panic.

"Alphonse!" It didn't respond.

Now everyone where walking besides Ed who started to cry. He just couldn't stop them falling like his hope had done. He had now nothing to dream and nothing to make him feel alive in that kind of way what his brother had made him feel.

Riza opened his mouth to say something to his friend but before he could Edward run to his arms crying and shaking so she just hugged him tightly and didn't say anything. She wanted to cry too but in some way wanted to try not to.

"Edward…"

Armstrong felt tears coming too and hugged Roy before he could escape even if this time Roy was not even trying to escape. He just watched the armor quietly.

"Armstrong…"

"Y-yes Roy…"

"I want to watch inside of that armor."

Armstrong stopped moving in a moment and then released Roy quickly who walked slowly beside the lifeless shell and hands just a little shaking he opened it feeling his friend watching him.

His eyes opened really wide. He had been right. He quickly pulled his hand inside the armor and bulled a not moving boy out of it.

Armstrong was really quickly there with him checking this so thin and pale boy. They found his pulse and now even Roy started to cry. This was too much to even him to handle now and he could feel his heart to jump in joy in the same way when Riza had said yes to him.

"He is alive…"

Roy smiled and let Ed took his little brothers body in his arms. Roy was sure that Ed was now a little angry to himself because he didn't had look inside the armor but it couldn't be helped.

"He needs clothes…" Edward whispered and cried even more now when he was feeling his dear little brother in his arms and seeing this so long lost been child who actually was not a child anymore.

"Is he okay?…"

"I think he is Ed…" Roy said and covered Al on his jacked.

"He…"

"He is alive Ed… And he really needs…"

"Rest, food, warm and us." Ed said little smile in his lips. He couldn't stop watching that face. That face was the one that he had wanted to see so many years and it was just natural that it was a little different now.

Gently he took a good hold of his brothers body and started to walk to their room. It was night so no body wasn't around except them and Ed was really grateful for it because his brother was almost naked in his arms and… Edwards stopped in a middle of hall.

"Edward? What now Edward? Is something wrong in Al?" Riza asked quickly and tried to watch him but Edward started to run there where his and Als room was and kicked it open.

Roy didn't even start thinking complaining to that because he was now just as worried as everyone else so he just followed him inside.

They all saw Edward taking Al to his room and closing the door and locking it.

"Edward! What is it?! Open the door!"

"Just stay there! We will be whine!" Ed yelled and sighed. He know that he should let them in but he didn't want to do it. This was private because he knew that Al didn't want them to see him naked.

He put his night lights on and looked his little brother now more clearly than he had done just a moment ago and bite his lips. His mind was now again going to that big brother line where he was always been. His worries were now true.

Al was too skinny… He wanted so badly weight him but he didn't know where he could get a one so he just wanted to check him in peace.

Al body was about what it should be now but it had very little muscles and no fat, so Ed wasn't surprised when he saw him shivering. He put quickly two covers on him and them opened the door.

"Sorry… I just…"

"You freaked out."

"Yeah… But it's not dangerous… Not yet… He is just really skinny and…"

"He will hopefully wake up soon and eat something." Roy said on the cough and smiled a little to Ed and everyone else.

"And even if he don't wake up soon we still can make sure he gets some food inside his systems."

" I know." Ed said and watched his little brother again. He couldn't stop thinking that just a some moment ago this all has happened. And he couldn't stop thinking the price of it.

"Do you all want to stay here this night?…"

They smiled to Ed. "No Ed. We wanted to just be here a little while because of you and... Well Al... We will leave you to take care of him. We know that you will keep him safe so we are not worrying too much." Riza said in a sweet voice and give a kiss to his cheek.

Ed nodded and thanked them all before he made his way to besides Al again.

"Please wake up soon my brother…" He whispered and stroked his dirty blond hair gently. It was softer than he had expected and just as long and stinky than he had expected. His little brother really needed a shower and soon.

Roy watched smiling the view and then looked everyone else.

"We did better go and leave them." He whispered and walked in silence to the door.

"Sleep well FullMetal."

"Thank you… You guys too." Ed said and when the door clicked he undressed himself to his boxers and shuffled inside the covers so close to Al that he could feel his skin and smell his scent even if it was horrible now. He just wanted to be sure that his brother were really here with him finally.
