just a random story i thought up. yeah i know i gotta write 'to eat another' and the other books, but this one sounded like a good idea. like all of my book series, a description, summery, and warning will be put in. read the warnings and summary before you complain or even read, and please be kind.
summary- "i always thought i was an only child. the jerk i called 'dad' never mentioned another child besides me in the family. its weird ya know? always thinking you had to some extent of control over your life, but realizing just after you convince yourself of that, it changes. why dident anyone tell me i had a younger brother? why me anyway!"
warnings- shouta, mild cursing, very mild violence, slight morbidness, and finally, as all of you fans can tell, the oddly cute elricest!
reasons- i was half asleep, i was bored, i needed something new to keep my mind preoccupied till 3:30.
ratings- pg to pg-13
disclaimer- please, dont remind me! i already know i dont own fma! monkeys...
life was life. boring and irritating to me, happy and lovable to others. but honestly, who cares about me or you? not me, obviously. for all i care, you could be killed, horribly maimed, or just plain unlucky and i wouldn't lose a wink of sleep. but thats how everyone is. no one cares and no one would really cry over my death, so why care about them? i sound really heartless dont i? well, if you were me, you'd be the same. whats the point in caring if no one cares for you? i cant say i was always like this, because once when i was really little, i was innocent and just plain lovable. now the only one who will come near me, lest they make me angry since i have one heck of a punch, is my friend winry. but it dosent bother me. i understand that I'm not exactly the nicest kid in the elementary school i go to, or even my neighborhood for that matter. actually, i embrace it, since it gives me time to read and study. most kids my age are still thinking about what they want to do when they get older, but I've known since i first picked up a textbook. I'm gonna be a chemist of some sort. yeah, i know, original ne? darn strait. now, back to the point. i know I'm not nice, i know I'm boring, and i know I'm overly bitter. as a boy of science, i learned from a young age to understand the way things work, and why they do. I'm mean, they dont like me because of that. however, the cycle isent totally complete here. i have only one real reason why I'm like this, and that is the person most sons love, that most kids enjoy being with. however, this son dosent like being with this so called 'role model', and to be honest, i never want to be like him. my dad. well, i dont call him that, but technically he is just that. the father of the family, even though this family was torn in two long ago. i never knew the love of an actual mother, or the annoyance of a sibling. I've only known of a dad, that shouldent be a dad. he dosent pay attention to me, and he never cares if i get hurt. he claims i have to grow up on my own, that i dont need a parent. in truth, I've started to believe that, but now, i dont need anyone. not even winry. I'm perfectly fine on my own. i tell myself that, but deep inside i know it isent true. when i get hurt, its winry and her grandma who help me. it always has been, and truthfully, they're the only ones anchoring me to my childhood while i still have one. its touching really. but as a child like me, i cant actually show how i feel. and i think thats why i almost pushed away someone who i truly care about. who? well, if you want to know, I'll explain from the beginning. why? because it'd be to confusing to start off right at that moment. so, here it begins.
-------------------------------------
it was gray outside, a chilly fall wind blowing by. the tree's were bare, and the land was pretty much gray. on a freeway, a lone car drove by, scattering leaves. the car was blue, small but cute. inside were two people. a woman and a small boy. the woman was loosely holding the steering wheel while the boy watched the scenery flash by dully. nothing but road and fields. nothing but nothing. the woman had long brown hair, tied in a ponytail and slung over her right shoulder, and darkish green eyes. she wore a long thick coat, and a pair of old boots. the boy next to her had brownish golden hair and grayish blue eyes. he wore a long sleeved shirt, plain blue old jeans and cruddy sneakers. the two sat in relative silence, keeping the music coming from the radio low. the boy let out a bored sigh and the woman glanced at him in slight amusement.
"dont worry, we'll be there soon al." the woman said comfortingly.
the boy, know as al, simply sighed,"mom...why are we going there anyhow?"
the woman kept her voice chipper,"because, where we lived wasent a good place. besides, we have family there. dont you want to see your brother?"
al looked up at his mom, his eyes glowing happily,"of coarse! i want to see niisan!"
"good, because your going to the same school as him." the woman replied.
"yaay! cant wait! now if only this stupid ride would hurry up..." he muttered.
his mother laughed at this,"well, we only have an hour left. I'm sure you can wait."
"dont count on it. its one hour to much!"
--------------------------
the boy stormed out huffily, slamming the screen door shut angrily. a tall man his glasses and a slumping golden ponytail chased after him, as if to stop him. the boy kept going, golden bangs flinging angrily.
"Edward, come back!" the man yelled.
"screw you old man!" the boy growled, not caring if the man took offense.
the man frowned and scratched his head as the boy dissipeared around the corner. if only he dident have such a bad temper.
the boy known as edward stormed down the dirt road angrily, his bangs getting in his eyes only to be pushed away irritatedly to reveal golden eyes. he dident know where he was going, but he really dident care either. as long as he could could get away from him. he had a fight, he knew that, and again his dad just refused to accept that he dident like him. as usual it spun out of control and a hand flew, a red mark staining a slightly paled cheek. normally it never went that far, but today was an exception. he shouldent have egged him on. but the man knew that he dident like milk, and he knew that he had a bad day at school again, yet he did it anyway! he just couldent stand his dad, couldent even begin to describe the loathing he felt for the man. he cursed under his breath as a cold wind blew by, and wished he had a coat. when he stopped he found himself at the park. it was old, with a sandbox, a swing set, and a large play house with a gravel moat around it. he looked at it gratefully before walking towards the swing set. he sat down with a satisfied plop, and began to push himself back and forth slightly. whenever he was upset, he usually came here. there was something about this place that soothed him, and he had a feeling that this place was important to him. he sighed and looked down boredly. maybe some good old fashioned thinking was in order...
----------------
"Alphonse, why dont you go to the park?" trishia asked while lifting a large box.
Alphonse looked up from the box he was currently going through,"but mom, what about the boxes!"
the woman laughed,"al, I'm not that old. i can fend for myself."
the boy looked unsure but a memory came up,"mom...would niisan be there?" he asked curiously.
the woman blinked and thought back,"well, maybe. why dont you go check it out?"
al nodded,"kay."
he put down his box and grabbed his coat and shoes before saying goodbye to his mother. he walked out the door, slipping on his coat and hurrying to the park. it was grayish outside, as if snow would soon fall. as he neared the park he noticed a shivering figure on the swings. he blinked in surprise. it couldent be him...could it? he walked towards the park and saw that the figure was a small golden haired boy, who was deep in thought. he also noticed the intense shivering.
--------------
edward dident hear the boy behind him, his mind to far away at the moment. he sighed and looked up only to see a pair of bright bluish eyes gazing down at him. he yelped and jumped back in surprise before blinking. the boy looked familiar, but he dident know from where. the boy smiled cheerfully at him. that smile...it was so familiar!
"you look rather cold. here," the boy slipped out of his jacket and put it over ed's shoulders, making him blush.
this boy was rather cute. why did he just think that? he shook his head and looked away.
"I'm fine thank you. i dont need anyones help." he muttered stubbornly.
a faint laugh followed and ed looked up angrily,"whats so funny?" he demanded.
the boy's face softened,"you remind me of my brother." he said fondly.
ed blinked and raised an eyebrow,"whatever." he muttered before quieting down. maybe if he ignored the boy, he would go away.
the sound of chains clinking together as the boy sat on them indicated that it wasent gonna happen. ed looked at him with a look of irritation, though the look seemed to just fly over the boy's head as he swung gently back and forth. ed watched him, and just wanted to slap that annoying smile from his face. the boy piped up in a soft voice that made the blond want to melt.
"its been a long time since i saw my niisan, over seven years."
"so?" ed muttered.
the boy shrugged,"i dunno, i just felt like saying it. i miss him." he said in a slightly sad tone.
ed felt kind of guilty at this,"well, maybe you'll see him again."
"yeah, i know i will! I've waited to long not." the boy replied in a hopefully voice.
ed was once again annoyed at that hope he saw in the boy's eyes. why should he get to have hope, when his was shattered? the boy looked at him curiously and slowly skidded to a stop. his eyes widened when he saw a large red mark on edward's cheek and he reached out without without thinking and pressed his palm lightly to it. ed's eyes widened and he swatted the hand away angrily. the boy looked hurt but dident turn away.
"what happened?" he asked in a worried voice.
ed glared at him,"thats none of your business."
the boy looked hurt,"sorry. its just that i hate seeing other's hurt."
ed gave him an oddly cute look of confusion while a blush formed. he looked away stubbornly, his bangs spinning with him and slapping him in the face. he cringed and bit his lip to keep down a whimper. the boy frowned and leaned forward, pressing his lips softly to edward's cheek, making the boy go wide eyed. when the lips left, ed jumped back with a yelp.
"what do you think your doing!" the short boy wailed.
the boy gave him a small grin,"mom always kisses me if i get hurt, so i thought maybe it would help."
ed sat back normally on his swing and gave a surprised glare,"whatever kid...whats your name anyway?" he asked irritably.
the boy grinned,"my names Alphonse elric! and you?"
ed stopped breathing for a full minute. no way...that kid's last name was elric? impossible! ed dident have any siblings, so how could that be? the boy's grin faltered and he looked at ed curiously.
"whats wrong?" he inquired.
"my name is edward. edward smith." the boy said quickly.
al looked at him in confusion,"huh?"
"my name is edward smith, its nice to meet you."
al smiled,"same to you."
"well, its getting dark, i should get going now." ed began while he stood up.
al blinked,"h-hey! where do you go to school?"
ed turned around and blinked before grinning lightly,"hagane no kokoro elementary school."
the other boy smiled,"cool! so am i! maybe we'll see each other."
ed's face paled,"y-yeah, maybe."
"well, i gotta get going now, dads gonna get angry." the golden haired boy said quickly before starting off. he blinked and turned back around.
"heres your coat. thanks a bunch aru!" ed exclaimed in a hurried nervous voice.
he dropped the coat on the swing set and dashed away before al could say anything. the swing next to him rocked back and forth in the wind and al just sat there shocked.
"aru...?"
tada! good? no good? hope so, cause this is gonna continue. by the way, aru means al, if you dident know it. theres a reason ed said his last name was smith. one you will learn later on. hagane no kokoro is a song, and I'm no good with names so i just threw it in there.
