The Songbirds are Humming

This fan fiction will have more chapters, and possibly they could be long. :3

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA of course. It belongs to Hiromu Arakawa.

Warning: This contains light yaoi in it. If you can't horribly stand yaoi at all, I suggest you leave. And it was rated Teen because of violence, language, and romance.

Pairings: Yaoi: RoyxEd

This fan fiction will also work around the brotherly love of Ed and Al. No incest stuff though.

Thanks for cooperation. Enjoy this fan fiction.

P.S. Ed-Chan is my nickname. :3

The large loud bells in the church tower played a soothing melody telling that it was midnight, whilst the Elric brothers slept in their temporary beds while staying at East Headquarters.

The older brother, Edward, was dreaming quite the opposite of a pleasant dream, as he tossed and turned, the covers that laid over him getting kicked off the bed. He was dreaming a sort of 'What If' dream that he thought was reality.

He was getting pulled into a large gate by tiny hands that were pulling him in the gate, as Edward tried to kick them away, he was failing. He didn't want to lose this fight since he didn't know how he was going to turn out.

The last toll of the lowest and loudest bell was heard as Edward sat upright, and had cold sweat dripping down his shoulder blades. He felt a tingle from the sweat, as it was cold on his hot skin.

He sighed in relief as he realized it was only a dream, and stood up feeling a bit wobbly but managed to get to the bathroom and he took a shower to try and calm himself just a little bit more.

Afterwards, decided he couldn't get anymore sleep, since he felt so restless. He pondered what to do in the meantime, while Al slept. It started to snow outside, indicating that it was probably below freezing. 'Too cold to go out for a morning walk.' Thought Edward.

He watched the snow accumulate on the ground little by little at the safety of the warm room, even though the touch of the glass of the window was freezing.

The time seemed to fly by, as Alphonse woke up, stood up silently, and tapped his brother on the shoulder. "What's wrong, Edward?" Alphonse asked.

Edward was actually surprised by his younger brother calling him Edward, but responded anyways. "Oh nothing much," He turned his head and grinned, "I was just waiting for you to get up. I didn't want to leave the room without you."

Before Al got to ask why, there was a few heavy knocks on the door. Ed rose from his spot and answered the door. "Hello?" He asked looking at the large man that he defiantly recognized as Armstrong. "Edward Elric, sorry to bother you at such an early hour but the Colonel has ordered me to take you to East Headquarters." Armstrong said in a heavy, slightly depressed voice. It didn't seem like him at all.

"Well, alright. Just wait here a second." Edward said closing the door then getting his boots on while Al stood by silently pretending to look out the window at the snow.

"Al, you stay here, I shouldn't be long." Edward said sighing about having to deal with the colonel. "Oh, ok." Al said glancing at his brother for just a moment.

Edward then flung his red jacket on for protection against the cold and walked to the door and opened it. "Alright, I'm ready to go." Edward said smiling with a slightly worried look on his face.

"This way, Mr.Elric." Armstrong said glumfully leading Edward to a car and Armstrong got behind the wheel and drove Edward to East Headquarters.

End of first chapter

AN: Well, how did you like it? I'll get to typing the second chapter soon, but now my hand is killing me, and screaming for a break. Better give them what they demand.

Review this chapter please.
