VII. Immovable
"Come on, Edward! It's just one night! You might even have fun!"
The young Amestrian didn't stop his chore of the day. Winter was coming and they needed to chop some wood for the season. "I don't think so, Bastian. You can go with Al if you want to, but I'll stay. Got some reading to do."
"Oh, come on! Al, talk some sense into him!" The tall brunet turned to the younger Elric for support. Surely they could take a night off, and a gathering downtown was the perfect excuse.
"He's right, Brother. We need some rest from our work every now and then. You need some rest." Al would do anything to see his brother well and healthy. Lately, he felt the black circles under his eyes were permanent, and his conversation was limited to monosyllables. Sometimes, the only thing that assured him that the former State Alchemist was still alive was the air making his lungs inflate and deflate. "It'll be fun!"
"It WILL be fun! It's settled! I'll pick you guys up around 7. The girls will go crazy when they see you there. Who knows? You could find your soul mate, man! I think that all you need is a woman to smile a little." With an energetic pat on Edward's shoulder, Bastian ran off. "See you tonight!" He yelled as he disappeared in the distance.
Alphonse stared at his Brother, looking for any reaction. "He might be right…if you try to mee-"
"I don't need to go to some pub to try to find my soul mate, Al." Edward interrupted, eyes fixed on his little brother. "I know I won't find it there because I know exactly where she is." With that, his golden eyes went back to the ax, and his wood-chopping resumed.
This title was kind of tricky. What do you guys think? R&R as always!
