This is a short drabble-y fic I thought of while watching the new Les Miserables movie. And of course I thought of Fullmetal Alchemist since I am always thinking about it; I think I have a problem. ANYWAY, I LOVE that musical and I wanted to base a story off of one of the songs. 'A Heart Full of Love' with Marius, Cosette and Eponine was perfect (I'll include the Lyrics at the end of the fic). Well, here it goes. Hope you enjoy! Actual word count fic is about 322 words , the rest of it is this AN and the Lyrics. :/
FMA belongs to Hiromu Arakawa.
The Elric Brothers had returned to Risembool for regular maintenance of Edward's automail. Well, regular in the fact that it wasn't damaged and broken into a thousand pieces this time. After just a quick tightening of screws and bolts and oiling of the joints, Winry deemed the tune up complete. Ed and Al joined Granny Pinako and Winry for dinner before retiring to the bedroom they normally stayed in when they visited.
Winry was just passing in the hallway to her own bedroom when she heard quiet whispers from the guest room that was home to the brothers for the night. Her ears piqued at the sound of Ed's soft voice and imagining his words breathed in her ear she shivered a little, craving to be the recipient of his affection. She knew she never would be though. Ed always belonged to Al, even when they played as children. They would joke about who would marry her and the brothers would fight over her. The sentiments seemed real but she always knew that Edward and Alphonse were meant to be together.
Proof of that was right before her, visible through the slightly cracked open door. She couldn't hear the exact words that Ed was saying to his little brother but the tone and softness of it made her melt inside. Oh Ed, she thought to herself as the tears welled in her wide blue eyes. Winry's curious mind urged her forward to get a better peak at the brothers. Ed sat straddled on one of Al's large armor legs facing him. A gloved armor hand was sifting through golden locks. Winry choked back a sob covering her mouth with a calloused, oil stained hand. These hands will never be able to do that, she admitted, tears falling softly as she continued down the hall to her own room. He was never mine to lose. He was always Alphonse's. And Alphonse was Edward's.
'A Heart Full of Love' Lyrics from Metrolyrics . com
[Marius goes into the garden, leaving Eponine outside.]
[Marius]
A heart full of love
A heart full of song
I'm doing everything all wrong
Oh God, for shame
I do not even know your name
Dear Mad'moiselle
Won't you say?
Will you tell?
[Cosette]
A heart full of love
No fear, no regret
[Marius]
My name is Marius Pontmercy
[Cosette]
And mine's Cosette
[Marius]
Cosette, I don't know what to say
[Cosette]
Then make no sound
[Marius]
I am lost
[Cosette]
I am found!
[Marius]
A heart full of light
[Cosette]
A night bright as day
[Marius]
And you must never go away
Cosette, Cosette
[Cosette]
This is a chain we'll never break
[| From: .net |]
[Marius]
Do I dream?
[Cosette]
I'm awake!
[Marius] [Eponine] [outside, interjecting]
A heart full of love He was never mine to lose
[Cosette]
A heart full of you Why regret what could not be?
[Marius]
A single look and then I knew. These are words he'll never say
[Cosette]
I knew it too. Not to me...
[Marius]
From today... Not to me...
[Cosette]
Every day Not for me...
[Cosette & Marius]
For it isn't a dream His heart full of love
Not a dream He will never
After all! Feel this way...
