Kyria: This is my first Fma story and I hope you guys like it. If not, I'll understand... I'll just be sad. Anyways, here's the first of the story! Enjoy.

Ed: Do I really trust her to do a fic about me?

Al: Come on, Ed, you have to... she can erase you from the story line!

Ed: She wouldn't dare! Then the whole story line would be weird!

Kyria: I'm not so sure about that! Sit down and be quiet as I work on the next part or you're out!

A name etched in stone

Pro

"Is this the place, brother?"

"Yeah... this is it. The final resting place," Edward Elric glanced down at the headstone that had weathered already. His hands were shoved deep into his pockets but, you could tell he was clenching his fists as tight as he could, forcing the tears to stay down.

Alphonse Elric bent down and laid red roses across the damp dirt, staying like that to finger the name etched deep into the hard stone. He seemed to be contemplating what to say to his brother, trying to figure out some way to comfort him, only, nothing seemed to come to him. Ed shifted his feet, sighing sadly.

"Do you want to go, Ed? They should be waiting for you to come back," Al stood up, his armor clanking together, a hollow noise playing softly within him.

"Nah, not yet. Besides, those lackeys can wait. They wouldn't understand," Ed replied, taking his hands out. By lackeys, he meant the military officials that he worked for.

Look at it!

"Are you sure? They'll be very angry at you."

"I'm sure Al. But, you don't have to stay. I mean..." Ed glanced at his brother who seemed sad, for a bunch of armor.

"No, I understand. I'll stay, for her sake, I'll stay."

Ed sadly smiled, glancing back to the headstone. A gentle breeze played at his hair, seeming to calm him down.

"Thank you, Al."

It's nothing, honest! I-

Nothing! How can you say it's nothing!

Because, I just can! To you, it may be worse than it seems but, trust me, it's not that bad!

Ed laid a hand on the headstone, bowing his head sadly, eyes clenched shut.

And I believed her! I was so stupid! It's my fault! It's all my fault!

Oh, I forgot to say something else, the characters of Fma are something I wish to own but can't. However, I can own my own character so... ha!
