This is the very first fanfic that I have written. I hope you enjoy reading it. -

One day, out of the blue...
"Brother, do you love the colonel?" Al put down the book he had been reading while his brother is in the shower.
"Wha-What are you talking about? What makes you think I would love that bastard?" Ed blushed.
"Why do you keep denying your feelings towards the colonel and pushing him away like this? When its about everything else you're so determined, then why are you so scared when it comes to this?"
"I... I just don't want him to get hurt. I'm cursed, every time I let some one get close to me, that person gets hurt, first mom, then you, then it's Nina and Alexander, Winery almost got chopped to bits by Berry, and then there's Hughes. I don't want anyone close to me to get hurt anymore. So I keep my distance, as long as I do that, those whom I care about won't get hurt."
"That's nonsense Brother! If you keep pushing the people who care about you away, you'll only hurt them more. And stop blaming yourself, you are not cursed! None of those was your fault!"
"But..."
"No buts brother," Al interrupted before Ed could say anymore. "none of those was your fault. But is your fault the colonel is hurting right now, because you keep pushing him away."
"Go talk to him, open up to him. He loves you, and I know that you love him too, enough to cry over him."
"Huh? How...? Where did you...? Why...?" Edward's blush turned into a darker shade of red.
"I heard you crying in the shower, since my room is right next door. That's why I came out here. I didn't want to hear you being sad and crying brother, I want you to be happy."
"Al, thanks. I think I needed this talk. Where is he?"
"The colonel is on the balcony."
"OK, thanks Al."
"Oh, and brother?"
"Yeah?" Ed stopped and turn to face the suit of armor.
"Good luck. I'll be at the library doing some more research, call me if you need anything, I'll be back in the morning with groceries to make breakfast, OK?"
"OK."
A/N: This is supposed to be a two chapter fic, but I haven't decided yet, so you'll have to wait and see how the story goes. Well, that's it for now. Please tell me what you think! Read and Review, but no flaming! Only Roy is allowed to fry people, since he is the Flame Alchemist and all... Friendly criticizing is allowed, because it helps me improve my writing skills. XD
