A/N: Yeah…I know I said two weeks...but my school started standardized testing…so I haven't had time. And, I've just been lazy. Oh, I think I forgot to mention last chapter; Al's in his freshman year in college. He's not in high school. But, Edward isn't his teacher.
Warnings: Language; Yaoi

The next morning, Edward woke up long before Alphonse did, which was unusual for him. He stayed in bed for a few minutes, before deciding to get up and check on Alphonse. He pushed the covers off his legs, before swinging them over the edge of the bed. He slipped a shirt on as he walked toward the door, the auto mail making a soft clank every other step. Alphonse's room was beside his, and it seemed Alphonse had left his door open. Edward softly chuckled before stepping into Alphonse's room and shutting the door behind him. All he could see of Alphonse was his hair, as he was completely buried under the blankets. Edward sat on the edge of Alphonse's bed, and he placed a hand on Al's leg. Alphonse murmured something, and scooted closer toward Ed. Edward smiled, before leaning down and placing a kiss on Alphonse's cheek.
'Al. Wake up. You have class in an hour,' Edward lightly shook Al's leg again.
'Five more minutes,' Alphonse mumbled.
Edward laughed. 'Come on, Al. Get up.'
Alphonse groaned and sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. His hair was a total mess; it was everywhere and tangled greatly. 'Alright.'
'I'm going to go fix you some breakfast, ok?' Edward said, lightly brushing a chaste kiss to Al's mouth.
'Not hungry,' Alphonse said as he pulled away.
'Are you sure? You're not sick are you?' Edward asked, placing a hand to Al's forehead.
'No.'
Edward looked at him a minute longer, before standing and heading into the kitchen without a word.
Alphonse stared after him, before deciding he better start getting ready. He was being transferred to a new English class, and he wanted to make a good impression.

It was now ten o'clock, and Edward was shifting through his briefcase when he found a note attached to the top essay. He stared at it for a moment, before pulling the stack out and pulling it off.
Hey Ed-
I figured you would find this. What do you think of meeting up with me later? Here's my address and a phone number. Let me know.
-Jason
'Fuck.' Edward dropped the note, which landed on his knee. He looked up at the clock. Al was due home in two hours. Edward decided he would call later. But first, he was going to grade the essays.
He was halfway done, when the shrill ring of the phone made him jump. Grateful for the distraction, he got up and ran to the kitchen, catching the phone in its third ring.
'Elric residence. Edward speaking,' he answered.
'Hello Edward. I was wondering if you could come up to the university for a little while. There are some students thinking of attending, and I was wondering if you would mind helping me with them,' the headmaster of the university answered.
'Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!'
'I guess I can. Now?' Edward said, rubbing his forehead.
'Yes.'
'Alright goodbye Mr. Jansen.'
Mr. Jansen was the elderly headmaster of the university, with grey hair and bright green eyes. He was now nearing his seventy-fifth birthday, but could still get around like anyone in their twenties. Edward cursed while he grabbed his jacket. He started out toward the university, silently cursing in his head.

Alphonse was getting ready to go home, when he spotted Edward walking down the hallway with Mr. Jansen.
'What's your brother doing here?'
Alphonse turned to Cam, a blonde haired boy with blue eyes that was shorter than Alphonse.
'I don't know. Helping with those new students maybe?' Alphonse shrugged. Edward caught his eye and smiled, while Alphonse smiled back.
'Come on Cam. Let's get to the library.'
Edward continued walking with Mr. Jansen as Alphonse walked by, gently brushing his hand against Ed's. Edward glanced down the hall, only to see Alphonse talking to Jason.
Edward froze. Why the hell would Alphonse have to talk to Jason? It's not like he's- wait. Alphonse said he was getting transferred to a new English class. Oh. Fuck.
Alphonse laughed as Jason handed him a few papers. Jason said something, and Alphonse nodded.
'Excuse me for a moment.' Edward walked over to Alphonse, and without looking at Jason, pulled him away.
'What did he give you?' Edward pulled Alphonse down a secluded hallway and lightly pressed him to the wall.
'Just some of my papers from a previous class. Why?' Alphonse was confused as to why Ed asked him.
Edward visibly relaxed. 'Oh. No reason, I was just wondering.'
Alphonse nodded, and then kissed Edward lightly. 'I have to get to the library.'
'Right. See you later?' Edward said, lightly resting his hands on Al's hips.
'Later.'
Alphonse walked off, and Edward followed.
Edward walked back over to Mr. Jansen. Jason caught his eye.
Later? he mouthed.
Edward hesitated, thinking of last night when Alphonse told him he loved him. He shook his head.
Without looking back, Edward followed Mr. Jansen down another hallway.

Alphonse and Cam were holding a practice conversation for their English class, when Jason walked over and leaned against the table.
'Oh. Mr. Heilen. Why are you here?' Cam said, looking up at the same time Al did.
'I was here getting some books for class. I heard you guys practicing. You're doing well, but Cam, your pronunciation needs some work.'
Cam nodded and turned back to his book.
'By the way. Alphonse…are you related Mr. Elric? The science teacher?' Mr. Heilen said,
'Mhm. He's my older brother,' Alphonse said, nodding.
'Interesting. Do you know if he's seeing anyone?'
Alphonse tensed slightly. 'Ah…no. Not that I know of. He might be though; he comes home awfully late sometimes.'
Jason inwardly smiled. So…the little brother has no idea. Perfect.
'All right. I'll see you guys Monday, I assume?'
Cam and Alphonse nodded, and Jason walked off.
'That was odd,' Alphonse said, and then glanced at the clock. 'Damn! I have to get home, it's past six!'
'Alright. See you Monday!' Cam called as Alphonse raced out the door.
'See you!'

Alphonse was halfway home, when grey clouds came rolling in. He began to walk faster, only for it to still start raining.
'Here I thought I would make it home.'
Alphonse saw no need to hurry; he liked the rain. It's when the thunder started did he get edgy.
He eventually came to the apartment he and Ed shared, and slid his key into the lock as he sneezed.
'There you are! I was beginning to get worried,' Edward said as he took Al's bag and let him shrug out of his jacket.
'Cam and I had to talk to Mr. Heilen in the library. Have you not told anyone we're brothers?' Alphonse explained.
'Of course I have. Why?' Edward said cocking his head to the side.
'Mr. Heilen asked if I was related to you that's all.'
Edward froze.
Damn it!
'Oh. I thought I mentioned you to him. Maybe he forgot.'
'Maybe,' Alphonse said, shrugging.
Alphonse flicked his gaze around the room, before coming to rest on the note from Jason Edward had let fall to the floor earlier.
'Brother? What's that paper doing there?'
Fuck. Now what?

A/N: I think this one was longer. Hopefully it was. Please R&R! I'm also still looking for a beta. So, if you're interested, send me a PM, and I'll reply as soon as possible.
