I like to keep their ages close. Ed did not go to the other side of the gate and Al is human now, just to tell you.
Chapter 1
Ed's POV
Ugh… Another day, another dollar, I thought as I woke up with the feeling of dread and misery.
When I had gotten Al's body back I thought my life would be happy again. Filled with joy and no sorrow until the day I would die. I guess those expectations shouldn't be thought of… After sleepless nights, endless studies and a whole lot of fighting we finally retrieved Al's body. How did we do it? The explanation would be to long and confusing for you and the author, to understand. Anyway… I am still in the military and I have been getting harder missions just because I got a year older two weeks ago. Age does not matter, dammit!! (Author's Note: Of course you would say that considering whom you like, tehehe) But that's not all! The worst part is that ever since we got Al's body back Taisa has been teasing me even more about how shor… sho… sh… ehm, vertically challenged I am. But now he throws in jokes about Alphonse being taller then me.
Oh Fullmetal, considering that you are the oldest shouldn't you be the tallest?
Alphonse got his body back but you are still shorter than him. Hahahaha.
Fullmetal, are you listening to me? Fullmetal? Where are y- oh there you are! I could spot a grain of rice faster than I can spot you.
Fullmetal? When did you come into my office? I guess I didn't notice you.
While I was thinking at all of the short jokes the Colonel said to me, I went into the bathroom and took a shower.
Oh, who am I kidding. I am madly in love with that man. But its not like he loves me back, I thought as I tried to fight back the tears.
As I've said before… Those expectations shouldn't be thought of.
After taking a shower, I brushed my teeth. I pulled on a pair of boxers and wore my regular black outfit. I walked downstairs to eat breakfast before leaving to Central. Al would be disappointed if I didn't eat The Most Important Meal of the Day. Quickly shoving down the bread into my system and a cup of orange juice to go with that, Al scolded me, "Niisan! You shouldn't eat your food like that. You can get a stomach ache or throw up later!"
"Heh, Al don't worry I'll be fine. Besides I'm late for work! Later little brother!"
I pulled my red coat off the rack and headed out.
"Be careful Niisan!"
Being that I don't have a driver's license, I quickly walked to Central HQ. Taisa has a "special mission" for me today. Oh boy, I can't wait for those sigh short jokes he has just for me. After thinking about that, my pace slowed down.
Hah, better not keep him waiting, I thought.
After arriving at Central I made my way to his office.
I slowly opened the door into the office to find the Colonel sitting in his chair with a folder in his hands and a smirk plastered on his face. That probably means its time for the short jokes.
Hooray, I thought sarcastically.
"Fullmetal, this folder I have here in my hands is your mission. You will need a particular suit for it. Here, take these and don't stain the suit. It was expensive", said the Colonel.
He handed me the folder and a tuxedo on a hanger.
"Please keep the tuxedo in the plastic at all times until you get to wear it. Alright Fullmetal, you're dismissed"
"That's it? No short jokes? You're on to something Colonel Bastard"
"I said you are dismissed Fullmetal, leave now."
I left his office with a confused look on my face. I headed outside of Central HQ with questions in my head. What the hell? A tuxedo for my mission? And why didn't he say anything about my height? I'll just have to read the mission he gave me.
Fullmetal,
I've given this mission to you because you're the
only one who I think should be qualified to do this.
you see, I had just engaged to Riza last week and
we are planning to marry next Saturday. You will
the best man. Please don't wear that tuxedo until
the wedding day.
-Colonel
I was paralyzed in shock and sadness. Tears rolled down my face. I was to weak to move. All this time I thought that nothing was going on between those two. And that the Colonel might have liked me. But I guess I was wrong. I'm always wrong. Everything I expect would always turn out to be false, wrong, nothing but a silly dream. But now, I have no dreams. Now they're all crushed.
I sat down in front of the Central HQ gates not caring what Al would do to me if I didn't come home. Not caring if Scar would pass by and kill me. There was nothing I cared about right now. The only thing I thought about was that Bastard Colonel. My head was buried in my legs. And my hands covering my red eyes.
------------------------------------------------------
Roy's POV
Everyone had left Central HQ and besides the Fuhrer, I was the only one left there. I quickly collected my things to go home. As I walked in the halls of Central Headquarters I had hoped that Riza wouldn't be home. I left Headquarters and found Edward outside of it's gates. He had his head buried in between his arms and legs.
"Um. Fullmetal? Is everything okay?" I asked him.
Edward looked up at me and our gazes met. His eyes were red and so were his cheeks. It looks like he had been crying. I felt like giving him a hug. He didn't look so sad because of the expression he gave me.
"Leave me alone!!! Cant you just mind your own business for once?! Stop sticking your nose into people's problems!" screamed Ed.
I was confused and shocked at what Ed had said to me, but I had kept a straight face. What was wrong with this boy? Had someone angered him?(Author's Note:You angered him ya' idiot).
Edward pushed me aside and ran home sobbing loudly.
I was confused and worried at the same time. Who would do such a thing to make Edward cry like that?
-------------------------------------------------------
Maybe hes crying because I engaged to Riza, I thought, Hah, out of all the theories why think about that one? Maybe its because of my feelings toward him. I can't deny them. Maybe I shouldn't marry Riza… But we can't be together even if Ed were to like me.
I walked to bed after taking a shower and brushing my teeth. I lay sleepless in my bedroom as I thought of the marriage. I closed my eyes and quickly went to sleep.
----------------------------------------------------
Ed's POV
"Niisan!!! Where were you?! I thought you said that you'd be home by si-", Al paused, "Are you crying Niisan?"
"No I'm not! Just leave me alone?!" I screamed.
I ran into my room and slammed the door shut. I didn't care about changing, I didn't care if I screamed at my little brother, I didn't care if a wasn't ready for bed. I had to much on my mind to do so. Still sobbing, I cried myself to sleep.
