"Because we're brothers," Edward told him, "forget these feelings, they're wrong."

"I'll never forgive you," Alphonse told Edward.

After Edward was done with withdrawals he was silent. No cursing or loud crying like before. Silence.

One night Alphonse went to bed as usual.

Suddenly he felt something pressing against his metal chest.

It was Edward.
