Drabble 16 - Like? (Is it Love?)
"What?"
That was the first thing that Edward Elric said when his brother confronted him about a certain man by the name of Roy Mustang.
"Niisan... Think about it... I mean, he is always on your mind... Even if it isn't always in a pleasant way... "
"WHAT, DO YOU THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH MUSTANG OR SOMETHING?"
Ed glared up from the book he had been trying to read to glare at his younger brother.
"Um... Niisan? I was just asking... Oh fine never mind, if you want to pretend that you don't even like the Colonel at all that's fine by me. I... was just hoping... that you would tell me... I thought we trusted each other..."
Alphonse had turned on the puppy eyes...
"Eh..? Al, stop it..."
The older brother got up and tried to keep the tears (even if they weren't real and the elder didn't realize it) from falling from his brother's eyes.
"Tell me then, Niisan... Do you love Roy Mustang?"
Ed guessed it was the way his brother looked up to him from his spot on the floor, with his big puppy eyes that were filling with tears, that made him answer.
"Ah... Im not sure... Love? I don't know... I guess I like him... But love..?"
The elder brother trailed off and looked thoughtful, and the younger grinned.
"Haha, I knew it!"
Al grinned and turned back to the book he was looking through. Now that he knew his brother at least liked someone else, he was free to court Winry.

Eh... My subs came today :D The only that that isn't "great" about them is that the subs are kinda "raw"… Like the names are still in the Japanese way (omfg "Anwi") but that doesn't bother me, but I can be sitting there and the word "Esuwaru" comes up and it takes me a while for "Ishval" to come to mind… Heh. Other then that, they're great.
Sins - Heh, its really amusing that only Wrath "knows" what was going through my head while writing that… Well, I was telling Kori-hime too, but Eii got the original :D
And Greed… by "sick lil midget"…. You can be referring to myself as well –glares and goes into a coughing fit-
Kori-hime – Eh, to me, beta is another word for slave. I am their… shokun :D Heheh.
Anime Monster – Hmm… well, the original one had like, non-dialouge-ness in it, and it made it clear that Ed was at Al's grave (and it had Roy standing in the back kind of… It was weird…) But this too could be Ed and Al's grave,
"I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without you... I mean, has it already been a year? Time flies I guess, even with my mission accomplished there are still things I'm being forced to do..."
The first sentence could be because the brothers were, like, ultra-close… They were all each other had for years, ne? And the "even with my mission accomplished" line is, Im playing off if Ed got the stone and changed Al back. His mission to restore his brother (and have his brother restore him in return) was accomplished (it isn't meant that like, Al died in that transmutation or anything), but, Ed was still being forced to do things (for the military?)
Hn… Sorry, that's just me babbling :D Think what you want, that's what I meant this chapter to be like, ne?
