A/N: Second drabble! This time in Al's voice. Hope you like it!

It's Midnight. About 6 or 7 more hours of simply sitting here, watching brother sleep.
Or thinking. Except when I start thinking, I start thinking too much, and then brother gets annoyed when I start asking philosophical questions that I came up with at 3 in the morning.
But there really is nothing better to do right now than too think.
It can get terribly lonely, with this metal body of mine. I've learnt to live with people staring at me and not being able to feel things, but it still feels incredibly lonely. Though I won't tell this to brother, or otherwise he'll start feeling guilty, and he's says he's onto something about the Philosopher's Stone, and I don't want to spoil his happy mood.
I sometimes wonder what I'll do when I get my body back.
First thing I'll do is pet a kitten. I sometimes stroke them with my giant steel fingers, but I can't feel anything, so there really is no point to it, I guess. It's just habit that I stroke them. I actually want to feel the softness of their fur again.
Then…then I'll go back to Risembool with Brother, and he can show Winry that he kept his promise and got our old bodies back again. I wonder if brother will finally tell her what he feels about her, I don't get it why he's so secretive and weird about it. Ah well, that's just brother…
Maybe I'll join the military, and start researching new forms of medicines using alchemy. I wonder if Colonel Mustang would have reached his goal of being Fuhrer by then. I don't think Brother would be that happy if that happened.
Come to think of it, would brother still stay in the military once he's done what he promised to do? He says that he's only in the military so that it's easier for us to access information on the Philosopher's Stone. I sometimes wonder if he'll ever give up his title as 'Fullmetal Alchemist'.
I hope brother and I can get our bodies back soon. We've promised a lot of people that we would, and we can't let them down. We have to keep going no matter what. I can almost feel that we're getting closer to the answer to reaching our goal.
But if anything, I know the first thing I'll do when I get my body back.
I'll cry.
