Just a quick drabble. I know, I really should be getting to my other story… but I don't think I'll be able to continue it… Just don't have the patience for it.

Warnings: Eehhh… Some could take this for Elricest. I guess if you squint real hard…

Rating: PG…

Just like mommy

The small boy Ed scowled at his brother. "No!"

"Please?" Al grabbed onto the other's arm and wrapped his arms securely around the appendage.

"No! I won't! And stop touching me!" Ed attempted to pull his hand away from the death grip that his younger brother had.

"But you won't get strong bones! That's what mommy said!" Al glared an pursed his lips into a pout, he only held on tighter at his brother's action.

"So what? It's disgusting!" Ed snarled. "I told you to stop touching me!" He finally managed to pull his arm from Al's grasp with a powerful tug, but in doing so, he clipped the younger brother on the chin and Al's head smacked into the table in front of him. "Al!"

As the boy fell back onto his bottom, tears welled up in his eyes and he bit his lip. Feeling the top of his head tenderly, he yelped when he pressed too hard. "Brother!" Al wailed and held his head, glaring through his arms at Ed.

Ed dropped down next to his brother and pulled him into a tight hug. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Lemme see!" Ed pulled his brother's hands away and parted the blonde hair and looked at the spot. "It's just a little red." He murmured, relived.

"Kiss it."

"Wha-?"

"Kiss it and make it feel better, Brother!" Al pouted, some of the tears making their way down his round face. He hugged himself.

"Why?" Ed frowned. That was a mother's job. And he wasn't a girl.

"Because Mommy always did it and we always felt better!"

"…" Ed sighed. "Fine." He reached up and brushed away the falling tears with his hands. "You have to stop crying after though." Leaning in, Ed placed a kiss on Al's head, making a noise when he was pulled into a hug.

"I-I miss Mommy!" Al sobbed into Ed's chest.

Ed placed his hands on Al's back. "I said no crying…" he paused, "but don't worry. We'll get mom back soon, ok?"

"Mm-hmm…" Al nodded, taking deep breaths to stop his crying. 'No crying, no crying…'

"Al."

"Brother?" Al looked up.

Ed placed a kiss on his brother's two cheeks. "You can't let mom know you're sad! So stop crying! Besides, she'll be with us again soon!"

Al stared at his brother for a moment. 'Just like mommy.' He the smiled brightly and wiped the tears away with the back of his hands. "Ok!"

Just like mommy
