So here's a new one. I go to anime club and this kid walks up to me and asks "You're always wearing that wierd red coat. Are you a wicken or something?" Who asks that about an Edward Elric jacket? (Oh yeah, I got an Ed jacket for my birthday)

Disclaimer: FMA does not happen to be owned by me..disappointing right?

The Cold

Part 2

Aaron coughed again. He rubbed his throat and went to the kitchen. He tried to reach for the sink, but alas, he was too short.

"What's the matter Aaron?" his mother asked, coming in.

"My throat hurts. Can I have some water?"

"Of course." Riza said, pouring water into a small glass for him. "Are you getting sick?"

"Uh huh. I don't feel good." Aaron told her, drinking his water. "My nose is all stuffy and it won't go away!" He said, taking another sip.

"Hmm." She said. She felt his forhead. "Well, your forehead is warm. I think your temperature is a bit high." She said, going to get the thermometer. She came back and stuck it in his mouth. She took it out a minute later. "Oh, 102. Aaron, that's not good, what have you been doing lately?"

"Walking home in the rain because my mom didn't remember where she parked our car." He said honestly.

Riza turned white "Oh, well I'm sorry." She said. "Here, come with me." She said, taking his hand and leading him to her room. She tucked him into the extremely large bed. "You stay in bed today alright? I'll get you some soup."

"Do I have to sit here all alone?" Aaron asked sadly.

"No." She said.

"Can you bring big brother here?" He asked.

"Of course. Now, I'll call Alphonse to stay with you two, but I have things to do today. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, you do whatever you need to mommy. I just want to be with Travis!" He said.

"Alright." She said tenderly, lightly kissing the top of his head. "I love you."

"I love you too Mommy."

"I'll drag your father home eventually alright?"

"Yeah." He said, yawning. Travis burst into the room.

"Aaron, what's the matter?" He asked.

"Your brother is sick. So be a little quieter." Riza told him.

"Oh, okay."

Riza left to go call Alphonse. She knew that she really had to get to work, so she left as soon as Alphonse walked in. "He has a fever, and Travis insists on staying with him. Give him this medicine every two hours, and call me or Roy if anything goes wrong." She said, handing him a small package.

"No worries! Say hi to Brother for me!" He called. He went and sat in the living room.

Aaron giggled. Travis was telling him funny stories. "Hey, is that dad's military uniform?" He asked, looking at the open closet.

"I think so. He has a couple uniforms I think, in case something happens to one."

Travis climbed into the closet, and closed the door, he came out a few minutes later, wearing Roy's regular uniform. "How do I look?" He asked his little brother. The uniform was like 3 times his size (Travis is pretty small)

Aaron tried to be the responsible one "Take it off that's not yours." He tried to hold back a laugh, when Travis started marching around the room.

"Look at me! I'm Fuhrer Travis!" He giggled.

"No your not take it off!" Aaron laughed.

"Yes I am see? You guys go do your paperwork while I take a nap!" Travis laughed.

"Dad doesn't do that!"

"Sure he does! Mom is always laughing about it with Uncle Edward!" Travis said. He put his hands in the over-large pockets. "Huh? Did Dad forget this today?" He asked, pulling out the silver watch.

"Is that Dad's pocket watch! That, you really do need to put back!" Aaron said, scared.

"Do you think he'll get mad if I open it?"

"Probably! Put it back, it's not yours!" He said. Travis pried open the watch, and a small piece of paper fell out of it.

"Huh? What's this?" He asked, picking it up.

"It's not yours, that's what it is!" Aaron said, getting out of bed to snatch the watch and paper from his brother. But alas, curiousity got a hold of Aaron as well, he unfolded the paper and another paper fell from it. Travis picked it up. It was a picture.

"Hey it's us!" He said, waving it around.

Aaron looked at it. Riza had him in her arms. Riza was laughing, because Roy wasn't looking at the camera, he was turned, kissing her cheek. Travis was on his shoulders, being Travis. "That's such a cute picture!" Aaron said. "What does the paper say?"

"It's a love letter to Mom." His brother replied. "Pretty mushy."

"Really? Lemme see!" Aaron said, before coughing. It was like the prettiest thing he had ever read. He loved his father's handwriting, even though it was a bit messy

"Wow! When do you think he wrote this?" Aaron asked.

"Long before we were born." He replied, flipping the paper over. "Like when she was 18!" he said, outraged.

"I like how he keeps it with him all the time."

"Well, not today. I wonder what else they have in here." Travis said, crawling around the room.

"I dunno, but I'm going back to bed, I don't feel good. And take off Dad's uniform!" Aaron coughed, scrambling to get back on the bed. He soon fell asleep.

Alphonse came in with Aaron's medicine. Travis hid as Al woke the small boy. "Aaron, it's time for your medicine." He said, setting it on the side table.

Aaron coughed a little as he woke up "Thank you." He said, downing the entire cup.

"You're welcome." Al said, leaving quickly. Travis got out of his hiding place, and left to change out of the uniform. He came back in his normal clothes, hanging the blue uniform in the closet.

A few hourse later, Roy and Riza came home. Riza started to clean a little, while Roy went into the bedroom. He saw his sons there, lying on the bed. Only Aaron was under the covers. He saw that Travis had something in his hand. It was Roy's watch! He thought he had lost it. He sighed in relief, and took the watch from his son's hand, he opened it, and saw three small slips of paper in it, instead of two. "Hmm? I could have sworn that all I had in here was my love letter and our familly picture." He said, pulling the third paper out. It was a drawing, obviously done by Aaron and Travis. It was the four of them, and the Elric brothers, and Roy's team. It was adorable, and a very good drawing for the boys' age. Roy smiled, and tucked it back into the watch. He winced as the love letter floated away, but before it hit the ground, it was snatched by the steady hands of Riza.

"What's this Roy?" She asked.

"Oh nothing, now uh, give it back!" He said, trying to be demanding, and failing.

"Hmm? Oh, I think it's something our dear Fuhrer wouldn't like his wife to see." She smirked, unfolding it. She was surprised when she unfolded it. "W-When did you write this?" she asked.

"Like when you were 18, but that doesn't matter now so give it back!" He blushed.

She smiled, handing it back to him. As he tucked it back into his pocket watch, she kissed him. "Thank you." She said.

Aaron woke up and nudged Travis' shoulder. "Hey, Mom and Dad are back."

Travis laughed "Yeah, they've been back for the past twenty minutes."

Roy turned bright red. That child! He saw everything! Riza laughed as he slowly returned to his normal color. Roy finally gave in, laughing with them.

Awwww Cute Travis, wearing his father's uniform! P.S. Every time you don't review, Riza reads one of Roy's old love letters. We don't want Havoc and the others finding out, especially if they'll make fun of him! Save the Fuhrer and Review!
