A/N: I had a small… not very good comic, so I decided to write a fic on it. XD Here's the link if any of you want to see it - So, yeah…. Hope you like.
Summary: In fact, Al could've said that Ed glowed.
Misconception
"Al! Look!"
Alphonse Elric looked up with a slight clank, seeing his older brother, Edward Elric. There was an excited look on his face, like a child who was about to open presents on Christmas. In fact, Al could've said that Ed glowed. His braid was starting to come loose, and there was a huge smile on his face.
"Yes, nii-san?" The smile grew even bigger (Al was beginning to wonder what had happened to his brother - it had been so long since he had smiled that…. Brightly.) Ed struck a pose, and held out two white-gloved fingers.
"I've grown! I've grown two inches! Two!" Al would've blinked in confusion if he could, but he settled for just asking.
"Ehhh….. Nii-san…" Al felt guilty, but it had to be said.
"When was the last time… you cut your hair?" Ed stopped jumping around and now had a thoughtful look on his face, but the dreamy glaze in his eyes was still there.
"Hmm…. Now that you ask… it has been awhile…"
"…nii-san, are you sure it's just not your hair that's grown two inches?"
Ed froze and slowly went to touch the antennae like piece of hair. No matter how many times he tried to brush it down, it still stuck up. He groaned and clutched at his head, then slowly began to walk away.
"…N-nii-san?"
Ed was dragging his feet and he looked awfully pale, and Al had a thought about a light bulb going out.
"I… need some time to be alone, Al."
And, sadly, Al had been right. After this… incident, Ed was pretty sure he'd never reach his goal of 170 cm at nineteen years old. In fact, he could see Winry looming over him, a triumphant look on his face while holding up a milk bottle. "If only you drank milk!" She had boomed, and Ed grit his teeth just imagining it.
….Poor Edward.
