Chapter 3

"Al !" Ed exclaimed as he entered the small apartment he and his brother shared.

"Yes, Brother?" Al asked, wondering why a trip to the aquarium would have Ed so excited.

Without saying anything, he threw his arms around Al, laughing joyously.

"Are you alright, Brother?" He asked, confused by his older brother's strange behavior.

"I'm more than alright, Al! …I'm getting married!"

Alphonse grabbed on to the corner of a nearby couch to keep himself from falling over. "M-married?" He said in disbelief, "To the Colonel?"

"Of course, "Ed laughed, "Who else would I be marrying?"

Al regained his composure just enough to hug his brother and force a smile. He couldn't remember seeing Ed happy like this before.

LATER THAT NIGHT


Alphonse sat awake in his bed, staring across the room to where his brother lay sleeping in his own bed, a small smile still on his lips. Al clutched a pillow tightly against his chest and started unconsciously rocking back and forth.

"I know I should be happy for Brother," he whispered to himself. "Why wouldn't I be happy? Brother is in love with Mustang and I know that they'll be happy together…" He watched Ed shift in his sleep, the smile never leaving his face. Al sniffled. "…So why can't I be happy?"

EVEN MORE LATER THAT NIGHT-


Al sat on the roof of the apartment building, stroking the little cat which sat in his lap. A small radio was placed on the ground next to him and it played softly as Al waited for the sun to rise; completely lost in his thoughts.

And I'd give up forever to touch you…Cause I know that you feel me somehow…

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't wanna go home right now…

"I want to be happy for Brother, I really do!" he thought, "I love him so much, and I should be happy that he's going to be happy…"

And All I can taste is this moment…And all I can breathe is your life…

And sooner or later it's over…I just don't wanna miss you tonight…

Images of his brother floated into his mind. He could see him clearly in his head. Smiling and laughing…Looking so happy…He wanted to be the reason his brother was happy…

A thought popped into his head.

"Could it be that…I'm in love with Brother?"

And I don't want the world to see me…'cause I don't think that they'd understand…

When everything's made to be broken…I just want you to know who I am…

He tried to dismiss the thought.

"Of course not! I love Brother, but I couldn't possibly be in love with him…"

Before he could properly process this line of thinking, his thoughts were disrupted.

"Al? Al are you up here?" A voice called from the stair well.

"I'm over here, Brother," he responded, shutting off the radio. The kitten he had been holding jumped off his lap and ran inside.

"What are you doing out here, Al? It's cold, you're going to get sick…" Ed said, placing his jacket across his younger brother's shoulders and sitting down next to him.

"I was just thinking…"

"Are you okay, Al?" Ed asked, noticing the distant quality Alphonse's voice held.

"Brother…" He ignore Ed question.

"Yes, Al?"

He threw his arms around his brother and buried his face in the curve of Edward's neck. "I love you, Brother."

Ed embraced him tightly, "I love you, too, Al."
