Chapter 5: It may seem tough, but really, everything's tough isn't it?
Last, Edward had seen a strange person. Calling….Calling his name. Not his name but, his last name. Who could this strange shadow be? Calling his name. Coming out of nowhere. Is it…?
"Brother!"
"…nnngh?"
"Brother! Wake up!"
"…Al? What?" Ed sounded sleepy. He groaned.
" Brother" Al sighed. "Seriously brother, didn't you need to drop off your report to the Col.?"
"I thought I already did…"
"What? But…you fell asleep while writing it last night."
"What? Then.."
"You're not done? Perhaps you dreamed of finishing it?"
"I'm certain I didn't…"
"Brother?"
"……it's so…weird"
Knock. Knock. Knock. They heard knocking on the door.
"Hold on brother, I'll be back." Al said as he stood up to get the door.
Who was that? Edward thought.
Alphonse returned.
"Al? Who was it?"
"It was nobody brother."
"What?"
"Yes."
"But I heard knocking, you heard knocking…."
"Well, when I looked…no one seemed to be there!"
"….."
"nii-san?"
"I'm going for a walk" Ed stood up.
"What? But…"
"I'll be back Al." Ed smiled."
"And your report?"
"OH CRAP! I forgot!" Ed ran to his desk and started to write rapidly.
And with that, Al sighed.
To be continued.
"Where are we going?"
You'll see.
I'll show you.
I'll show you to MY world.
The place that you yourself had abandoned me.
