Disclaimer: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist, or the song, Are We the Waiting, by Green Day. Consequently, I also do not own the title.
Right, another one shot, though it is the first one for Full Metal Alchemist, my newest obsession. It takes place after Ed goes through the gate.
Are we the Waiting?
Starry nights,
City lights,
Coming down over me.
It was beautiful out. I heard my partner Al telling me this repeatedly like a mosquito buzzing in my ear that I couldn't kill. Not that I wanted to kill Al, I was just thinking. About Winry. It would have been nice to share this moment with her in my arms, but she wasn't here. She was in a place far far away I used to call home.
Skyscrapers
And stargazers in my head,
Are we, we are,
Are we, we are,
The waiting unknown?
You couldn't see the stars here, there were too many lights from the city, and though I knew Winry wouldn't be looking at them, it would be comforting to know that they were at least the same type of stars. But all I am doing is standing here, getting nothing done, no closer to getting home, looking at the nonexistent stars.
This dirty town was burning down in my dreams.
However, burning the town down was totally out of the question. Only Mustang would be able to theoretically burn the whole town down and still be able to control the fire. Me on the other hand, my alchemy didn't work here. It's not like burning the town down would help me get home anyway.
Lost and found,
City bound in my Dreams,
And screaming-
Louder and louder, but no one could hear me, no one cared, Al and Winry gone. In another world where I could never find them, I could never go back, but oh, how I wanted to go back. I missed them.
Are we, we are,
Are we, we are,
The waiting,
And screaming,
Are we, we are,
Are we, we are,
The waiting?
They were waiting too, I hoped, but I couldn't be sure. How could I be sure? They could have forgotten me, but how could they forget me? I was not there, and they are not here, all we are to each other is a memory. However, memories are forgotten, lost, I will not be lost.
Forget-me-nots,
And second thoughts,
Live in isolation.
My whole life. I must be a protector, the strong one, I can't cry. However, I want to, oh how I want too.
Heads or tails?
Fairy tails in my mind,
Are we, we are,
Are we, we are,
The waiting unknown?
I dream and when I dream it's about me and Winry and I can cry. She hugs me and I cry. I cry of happiness, love, and joy, but also of sorrow pain, and suffering for those who it didn't work out.
The rage and the love,
The story of my life,
The Jesus of Suburbia is a lie,
And screaming-
My life is a lie, but it's all gone now, all memories. My carefree childhood, gone. The burdens of my youth, gone. Only to be replaced by a new burden, the one that I was gone, turned into a memory, lost.
Are we, we are,
Are we, we are,
The waiting unknown?
Are we, we are,
Are we, we are,
The waiting unknown?
Are we, we are,
Are we, we are,
The waiting unknown?
Are we, we are,
Are we, we are,
The waiting unknown?
Are we, we are,
Are we, we are,
The waiting unknown?
I will not forget them; they will not forget me.
I soon will return home.
Beside me, Al my partner, smiles at the sky.
Please review! How did I do? I have never actually seen the end of the series, but my friend has and told me what happened. I have to wait for Adult Swim to air it. So going on that, how did I do?
