I copied these down a few years back; I think originally they were for the musical Cats, but I've sort of drifted away from writing for that fandom so I figured why not bring them over to this one? No idea where exactly I got them from, they've probably been deleted from wherever it was anyway so there's not much point trying to find out. I'm not really trying too hard with these either; they're just to keep me writing and help with blocks on other fics, so they'll probably all be quite short and a bit pathetic, but who cares?
Disclaimer - I'm not Japanese, and my self-portrait is not a really awesome cow. So no, I'm not Arakawa-sensei, but I do borrow her characters for abuse in non-profit products of boredom such as this.

"Edward..." his mother's voice called softly. "Guess who's come home?"
The small boy grinned widely; his mother had been gone for... Days? Weeks? He wasn't good with time yet, but he knew it was longer than he wanted. It didn't matter now, though; she was home! He waddled into the sitting room, large golden eyes taking in her familiar face and the bundle she held.
"Come and meet your new baby brother."
Baby brother? He didn't want a baby brother! He wanted his mother all to himself; he couldn't share her with some little brother she'd bought for him! What kind of place sold those things, anyway? Surely no-one ever wanted one?
"Don' wanna," he pouted, glaring at the wiggling bundle.
"But he wants to meet you. His name is Alphonse."
"Alv-... Alv-... No! Don' wanna!"
"You can call him Al if you'd like; it can be your special big-brother name for him?"
Edward hesitated; he liked the idea of being a big brother, he just didn't want a sibling.
"Come and see him, at least."
The small blonde boy huffed and dragged his feet, stumbling slightly over the rug but catching himself before he fell. Trisha had stretched and arm out to help him, but he didn't need it.
"He ugwy," Edward sniffed before turning away. He tried to walk off but something grabbed his sleeve; he turned back to see a tiny hand had latched onto his shirt.
"I think he likes you. He knows you're his big brother."
Edward stared down at him in awe for a moment before unclasping the hand and toddling away.
"He still ugwy."
