To Stop the Tears~anime4ever1124
A/N: okay.. I've been sitting on this idea for a while… anyway… sorry that I haven't been posting as much. This will be a yaoi at some point. I haven't decided how far to go with it so for now PG-13 cuz there is definite a edxroy kiss scene to come… I might even make a 'clean yaoi' and a 'dirty yaoi' version. Or I might ditch that idea in general.. idk.. you will decide I guess…
The Elric brothers were on the last day of their two day train ride. The elder boy sat up and stretched, still half asleep. The younger was resting. Well, resting as best a soul bound to a suit of armor could. Edward watched his brother for a few moments, then turned away at the thoughts of Al never being able to feel anything in this body. The blond tried not to think back on all those mistakes he had made. The ones that gave him automail limbs and his brother, the only remaining family in his life, a shell for a body.
The younger boy stirred, "Brother? Oh, look out the window Ed! We're here!"
The blond looked out at the white and grey houses that belonged to Central. It was bland on bland, with bits of color here and there. He knew this city well. He even knew how the underground black market worked, where and when it took place, and how to get himself in and out without the fear of being captured, though he would never tell anyone about this knowledge he possessed.
They planned to go to the Hughes' house, to pay a long awaited visit. Ed's automail had finally been fixed and they currently had no missions to go on. For that matter, they didn't even have a lead on the Philosopher's Stone.
They got off the train and began their walk towards their dear friend's house. It wasn't a long walk, but the heat made them stop every few minutes. The boy's found themselves at the front door around three in the afternoon. The door opened slowly. A lovely woman stood in the doorway.
"Gracia!," the boys shouted in unison.
She gave them a weak smile, "How are you boys?"
Ed grinned, "We're good, and we're keeping our promise. So we came over on Hughes' request."
The elder woman gave a sort of choked sound, "You came t-to see Hughes? Didn't they tell you? Didn't anyone…They should have…I can't…"
The teens looked at her worried. "Mrs. Hughes, what's wrong? Did something happen to-?"
"He's dead!" she yelled. She gasped at her suddenness, "I'm so sorry. I-I didn't mean to yell at you."
The older boy shook his head, "No…It's-it's understandable. Come on Al." The two walked away solemnly.
The boy's walked quietly through the halls of the military personnel quarters. It sat near the east wing of the main Central Headquarters. They walked into room 121. The leather suitcase Ed carried with him on his travels was slammed down on the table. The blond began his routine of unpacking his dirty clothes and replacing them with clean things. He was a little disturbed at the news of Hughes death. He'd have to talk to the Colonel. His mind began to race. His thoughts turned to worry as he realized what the man might be doing. He remembered losing his dad, the man just left, and his mom, she died waiting for their father, and Al…He made Al lose his body when they preformed the transmutation…The one that made Ed depressed-he may be- until the Colonel, then a Lieutenant Colonel, came looking for them…
Something hit his stomach, like a ton of lead. He needed to go, needed to see him, find him, even if it would cost more than he was truly willing to lose.
