Operation: Matchmaker Chapter 11: Christian and Alexander, a fullmetal alchemist fanfic

I'm so, so, so, so sorry! I was suppose to put up the chapter earlier, but I really didn't have the time . The fast update is all because of my lovely reviewers and readers^^ Do you know how much you guys makes me want to continue this story?:D

Anyway, this is absolutely my least favorite chapter so far -.-' It didn't go the way I wanted, no matter how many times I rewrote it .

I'm sorry if the grammar is horrible and the characters are very OOC.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Chapter 11

Christian and Alexander

Christian looked around once he sat his feet inside Fort Briggs. Hopefully, Angel was unharmed.

The only ones that knew he was visiting were his brother, the General and everyone she felt the need to tell it to. Not that that would be many.

He had told them not to tell Angel. After all, most of his visit was to surprise her.

Running steps against the floor could tell him that someone was on their way toward the entry. A blond boy a little older than he came running out of the room Christian knew was the training-room. The thing that shocked him the most was that something that looked like a small knife went flying after him, before it passed the boy and hit the wall hard enough to get stuck in it.

"See? I told you I could do it!" a girl-voice yelled loudly.

"Geez, you didn't have to throw it after me!" the boy yelled back, angry that the knife almost had hit him.

"Whatever, Alexander! I had full control on it; after all, my point was only to hit the wall, not you!" the girl yelled back, and Christian recognized the voice. Angel.

The sound of boots against the floor rang through the entry, and a small girl came out after the boy.

Christian smiled once he got his eyes on the girl. She seemed to be dressed for the weather and the winter, her clothes were at least much warmer than the once she had used in Central.

Angel stopped in the moment she noticed her friend. At first her eyes were widen in surprise, before a smile broke over her lips and she started to run toward him. Before the boy even knew what was going on, had the girl hugged him tightly.

"Christian! You don't even know how much I have missed you!" she called out with her face buried into his shoulder. The boy felt the usual warm feeling fill him as he held the girl in his arms.

Even though she seemed to have chanced a little since she left Central, she was still the girl he loved so deeply.

He was even too far into his thoughts to even notice the jealous gaze he earned from the other boy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alexander stared as his friend hugged the unknown boy that stood in the entry. He couldn't help but feel jealous of the attention she showed him.

Could this be the boy that had given her the bracelet? What was his name again? Christian?

Soon after the jealousy had arrived, a warm feeling took over his heart. He felt warm by seeing the girl's bright smile, even if she sent it to someone else than him.

"Sergeant Eritsu! You are wanted at the top, something about trouble outside," and officer called out from the top of the stair behind him.

The oldest of the three in the entry turned around to follow the man, but soon could hear two pair of steps following him.

When he looked over his shoulder, he could see Angel and the other boy follow him closely. The girl sent him a sweet smile that told him he could only try to stop her from coming. He smiled back, knowing it would be no use to try to stop her from following him.

Angel stood on her toes so that she could look over the edge of the wall in front of her, and even then she had problems of watching over it.

Someone had tried to reach the Briggs without using the normal way, and she knew pretty well who that would be.

The girl could hear Edward and Alphonse yell and talk to the soldiers of Briggs, and she could hear the General's cold answer.

She also knew where the boys would go after this, and luckily, she knew a shortcut – after some days of playing around inside the Fort while Alexander thought she was training with the knives – to the place the two brothers just some hours later were going to work.

"Come on! The two of you are so slow sometimes!" Angel called out to the two boys that followed her. Sol tripped happily after her owner, and sometimes turned her head around to look at the two boys.

None of them would talk to each other, except from exchanging their names. Maybe both of them could see the jealousy in the other's eyes every time one of them got a smile from the girl that walked in front of them.

Both the boys almost stopped walking as a small hand made its way into one of theirs. Angel grinned as she tightened the grip and started to walk down the corridor again, dragging the boys behind her.

Finally, after about an hour of walking from the top of the building, did they reach the place Edward and Alphonse had to take down all the ice-spikes that hung down from the roof.

"Hey, Edward! Alphonse!" Angel called out once they got close enough. The two brothers stopped working as their eyes felt on the four – Sol did after all follow them – that came toward them.

"Hello, Angel, Christian," Alphonse answered politely.

"Hey," was all they got from the other boy as he tried in vain to reach some of the spikes highest up.

"This is Alexander, by the way, Sergeant Alexander Eritsu," Angel said as she presented her new friend to the brothers. Both the brothers stopped working for a while so that they could say hi to the newcomer. They talked for some minutes before the four newcomers were about to say 'see you later'.

Then, the floor crumbled beneath their feet. Angel started to lose her balance, but before she could fall, both Christian and Alexander had grabbed one of her hands, holding her up. She flashed them a short smile, and thanked for the saving, but her mind was far away.

She knew who had made the floor crumble, and that who was a person she really didn't want to meet.

A hole started to appear in the middle of the room right in front of them, and a huge man came up, dragging dust and stone with him.
