Drabble: I'm here

He lay restless in his bed, panting, turning. His face scrunched up in fearful pain. Alphonse couldn't do anything to help him, but try and comfort him without waking him up. He couldn't wake him. If he did, Ed wouldn't be able to bear knowing his younger brother saw him in his most vulnerable state. Ed knows Alphonse can hear him, but he just wanted to be the strong older brother. Alphonse understands that, so he doesn't wake him. Another painful moan. "I'm sorry brother. Mom. Winry. I'm sorry"

Alphonse can't do this. He needs to just wake him up and say 'it's not your fault' and 'I love you', just to let his older brother's, his hero's, thoughts ease. But Ed won't believe him. He hears a soft squeak of the old wooden floor boards, and looks up. Winry is standing there in her soft nightgown, rubbing her tired eyes. "mwhat's the matter, Al? Is Ed okay? I heard some crying"

Alphonse is sorry. He didn't want Winry to see Ed like this. But it is inevitable. She knows. As soon as he is about to say that Ed is fine, to save his pride, Winry is already at Ed's bedside. She tries to comfort him, but Al knows not even Winry, Ed's best friend and one true love, cannot help him in this state.

Winry knows this too, but she just has to at least try. She loves him, and it hurts her to know she cannot do anything. She gives a worried look to Ed one last time and gives a small kiss to his head. She stands and leaves quietly through the door, leaving Al alone once again. He glances over to Ed and Ed winces and lets out a small groan. Al whispers "It's okay, brother. I'm here." And with that, Edward's face relaxes, his tension is released and he can finally sleep peacefully.
