"This time, I don't know what will happen..." Roy concluded.


"...Zzzz...what's...the...matter...it's...bright...Zzzz...Al...curtains...Zzzz...don't...Al...Al? Ha~ ...Nng...did I forget to close the curtains last night...no...it's still early...gonna go back to sleep...Al? He's ironing the clothes?" Ed was too tired to sit up that morning.

Even though Al was from a distance, Ed could still hear him. "Brother! Are you up yet? Brush your teeth and wash your face! Brother! Are you up yet? Brush your teeth and wash your face!

Breakfast is ready!"

Hearing Breakfast, Ed got the strength to talk. "I know! Coming right now -" I really wish...we can always be like this...


Later on...~~

Ed stood up from the table. "Alright, it's about time I went out! Hm? Where's my jacket?"

Ed can't find his military jacket. Al hands it over to him, and he notices that it's one size smaller. "Eh...did it shrink?"Al smiles. "Haha...don't be silly..."

"Al...you made changes to it...?"

"As long as it fits you, then it's okay."

"Al...did you stay up all night to do this?!"

"This...well...it didn't really take me a long time to do!" *blushes*

"Al...thank you."


After Ed leaves the house, it took him a few minutes to figure out that Al was following him.

"Eh, Al, you're going out as well?"

"Yes, I need to go to the market! Today's Tuesday, so the vegetables and meat are cheaper. If I buy them today, I can save some money!"

"Save money...Al~"

"Hm?"

"You're really like a housewife!"

"Brother~~~ I guess you don't want to eat dinner tonight, huh?" Al pouted.

"Al...don't be mad at me!" Ed begged.

"Ah, now that I think about it, we never really did this together this early before in a long time." Al remarked before they entered Headquarters.

Ed smirks and says, "Really...Don't you feel so honoured, to be able to walk beside such an important person like me~~"

"Brother...speaking of which, don't you usually ride to the Central Headquarters with Colonel Musta- no, the General? Why have you been walking to work recently? It's not like our house is near the Headquarters..."

"Al!"

"Brother...did I...say something wrong..." Al felt guilty right away.

"Actually...walking to work is a good thing! I...I can train my body...I really like it!"

"Re...really...really..."

Later...

The two brother stop on a semi crowed street that led t the marketplace. Al turned to his brother.

"...then...Brother...I need to go this way now..."

"Then I'm going that way! Be safe!"

"Yup...see you tonight!"

"Okay! I'm going now!" and with that Ed waved as he went on his way. Al waved back with a smile, but as soon as Ed was no longer in sight, Al's smile soon became a frown.

"Good bye..."
