Disclaimer If I owned FMA I wouldn't need to write fanfics because I could write whatever I wanted into the show and then all these fanfics would be based around ideas that I had and I'd put all kinds of plot holes to mess with the fan's heads and make fanfic writing even harder…but I don't own FMA so I can't do any of that sigh

Prologue (I FINALLY MADE THIS THE FIRST CHAPTER!)
"Nii-san? Nii-san, are you alright?" Al asked as Edward slowly regained consciousness.
He looked up at the restored form of his younger brother, how long has it been, he thought, 9 maybe 10 days and he's already getting used to having his body again. He smiled weakly, responding to the concerned look in Al's eyes.
"I'm fine," he said, propping himself up on his arms, "What happened?"
"You passed out again. I'm worried, Nii-san, this is the third time in a week, you should see a doctor."
"Don't worry, Arul, I'm fine, I don't need a doctor." Al looked at him with concern, "Fine," he gave a sigh of defeat, "if it means that much to you I'll go see a doctor."
"Thank you, Nii-san," he said, smiling gratefully.
It was another month before Ed actually got to the doctor's and in that time, he had gotten worse. He fainted more often, was frequently exhausted and tended to get fevers for no real reason. None of this seemed bother Ed very much, who just shrugged it off as nothing. Al however was deeply worried about his brother and sat nervously in the waiting room anxious for Ed to return.
Finally, Ed emerged from the door of the office, expression blank and unreadable. Al jumped up to meet him.
"What did he say, Nii-san?"
Edward ignored the question, "Come on, Aru, let's go."
"Nii-san? What did he say?" he asked again, more demandingly this time. Once again, Ed ignored him and began walking toward the door.
"What happened!" he grabbed Ed's shoulder's gaining his full attention. "What did he say?"
He sighed and turned his face away from his younger brother's, "I'm really sick, Aru…"
Al couldn't respond; there were a thousand things he wanted to say but the words refused to come out.
"It's Mitochondritis… Something's not working in my cells and my body can't absorb oxygen right or make enough energy. The doctor said it's hereditary and from the way he described it, it sounds like the same thing that Mom had," he forced back tears that threatened to fall. "They can give me medicine to help with the symptoms and keep me from fainting, but there's not much they can do… I only have a year left, maybe two…"
Alphonse threw his arms around his brother, still unable to make a coherent statement. "Nii-san…" was all he could manage to say in a muffled, tear-choked voice.
Ed hugged Al back, unable to do anything to comfort him.
