"So is that why you're a state alchemist?" You asked, still shaken by the news. "Are you still trying to bring back your mother after all that's happened?" "No," Ed said bitterly "I'm going to get Al's body back." You looked up, surprised. Ed had a determined looking his face. "Your arm and leg too!" Al added. "It doesn't matter if we get my limbs back. It's my...it's my fault you lost your body and it's my job to get it back." He said, clenching his fist. "Brother, we're getting your arm and leg back or I won't take back my body!" Al said in protest. Ed was silent. Their love was so deep for each other it took you aback a little. They had always been so close, you could remember when you were a kids and Ed was so protective of Al, always taking care of him, leading him by the hand. It was hard to believe the once smiley toddler Ed was now cold with a stony expression and his cute faced little brother was now just a soul attached to empty armor. It made your heart ache. Suddenly Ed broke the silence. "You don't have to worry about me, Al. I can take care of myself." He said, smiling up at his brother. Al laughed. "I'll always worry about you, brother." Ed laughed too "Just you wait. I'll get your body back and maybe even my arm." He said grinning. Then he turned to you, rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry to dump this on you all the sudden." He said, feeling bad. "No, it's fine." You said, smiling as you wiped away your tears. "I'm glad you guys trust me. "Of course we trust you! We've known you since we were just babies!" He said and you knew if he could, he'd be smiling. You smiled again. "Thanks Al. So, do you guys have any leads?" You questioned. "Er, actually...no." Ed admitted embarrassedly. You laughed. "That's okay, because I'm going to help you." You told them, your (e/c) eyes brightening. "How?" They both asked. "Well, the military recently received a shipment of files concerning forbidden transmutations that I might be able to look into for you." You said, grinning. "Really?" Ed asked, his eyes widening. "Mmhm." You said, happy to be part of their mission. Ed smiled and Al nodded happily. "Thanks, (name). When we get our bodies back we'll have to do something great for you." Ed said and you smiled wide, seeing them happy made your heart lighter. Ed's grin made a sort of giddiness grow in your chest. He was kind of cute... "Well, I should really be getting back to work or Mustang will have my butt. I'll come see with you with whatever I find." You said, standing up. A flash of disappointment showed in Ed's eyes for a moment, he was sad to see you go, but then it was gone. You walked over to the door and he followed. "Thanks, for helping us (name) I mean you really don't have to." He said. You smiled the put your arms around his neck, causing him to turn a deep shade of red. "I want to help you." You said quietly in his ear then pulled away, waving to Al as you opened the door and left.
