Good Night

The law of equivilant exchange states that in order to achieve something, something of equal value most be given up...

Long nights. That's one thing that tormented Alphonse Elric. After having his sould placed in vintage, grey, armour nights became sleepless. He couldn't express facial emotion. He couldn't feel. At times he wanted to cry. At times he wanted to give up, yet there had always been some hope. And he clung to that hope like a life line. A beautiful golden ray of hope. And now he sat in front of an old wooden door, his body still as he tried to hear what was taking place behind that door. Moon shone through a window and illuminted the dark hallway and to him it seemed as if shadows lept and danced in dark content at his and his brother's pain.

The door creaked open and a young girl with shinning blue eyes and long blonde hair poked her head out and regarded the grey armour nervously. Her eyes trailed to the bit of long silver-y white hair on the helmet and the spikes of the shoulder pieces. Her eyes then settled on the face with it's one spike on the forehead, the design that resembled fangs and hollow slashes in the cheeks.

"Al... it's alright if you come see him now." Her voice was quiet and timid.

Al looked up to her. "Thank you, Winry." Al paused at the metalic tone in his voice. It was as if his voice was hollow, reflecting his body. Nonetheless he got up, his armour clanking against the wooden floor as he walked to the door and peered inside as Winry walked over to the side of the only bed in the room.

Al froze as he regarded the body that layed in the bed. The one who layed there looked slightly fevered and feeble, his limp body layed there in exaughstion. Short blonde hair was plasted to his face with sweat and his honey eyes were dimmed.

"B-brother...?" Al's voice was shakey.

A smirk crossed the lips of the boy who layed there, determination leaking into his eyes. "As soon as I recover we'll go get your body back." The voice was strongand determined, leaving no room to voice any arguments.

"Edward, are you sure about becoming a dog of the military?" An old woman with glasses walked from the corner. her white hair was up and she looked tired.

"I'm sure Granny Pinaco." Ed nodded as he said this as if to double the assuring statement.

Pinaco sighed before turning to Winry and witha gentle tone she ushered the young girl to bed before returning her atention back to Edward. "You had better rest as well."

Edward let out an aggrivated sigh but nodded begrudgingly.

"Good night, brother." Al was quiet as he spoke shyly.

"G'night Al. Remember: As soon as I'm able to I'll get your body back. That's a promise." Ed was deathly serious.

"Don't push yourslf that badly brother, you still need to recover." Al was slightly alarmedat the serious tone in Ed's voice.

"It's a good thing I have a brother like you to remind me of that! Thanks Al. Good night." Ed smiled genuenly as he tugged a blanket up.

Al left the room silently, and if he could, he would be smiling. there was still hope, and it was as golden as ever.
