AN: if anyone here also follows my Gravitation drabble-series A Picture's Worth a Hundred Words, then they'll know that my new job has for some reason filled me with inspiration. I've written (though not posted) no less than 7 drabbles since my second day on the job, 9/9.
And apparently, it's not just a Gravi-muse, but an all-around anime one! So FMA fans are also benefiting :P
...or it could be because I've been re-watching FMA, ehe.
Every once in a while, Al complains that he is tired.
To anyone who knows the real story behind the Elric Brothers, knows that the armor is empty, this may seem odd. After all, the armor body cannot feel fatigue (or any other human sense).
But Roy knows, whenever Al seems to drag behind a bit, or is slow to answer, that Ed will lead his younger brother to a safe, secluded place, and have him remove his helmet and chest plate.
Then Ed will slice his palm, and renew the blood seal that binds Al's soul to the world.
