"YOU IDIOT!"

Ed winced as he straightened the steering wheel, putting one hand to the ear that he was damn sure just ruptured, thanks to his brother's loud ass mouth.

"What the Hell, Al?" he shouted.

"She told you, told you, to flirt with her, and you just… wimped out?!"

"I did not wimp out," Ed quickly dejected. "I was tired!"

Ed didn't see it, but he could hear Al tossing his hands in the air dramatically. "That's the lamest excuse in the book!"

"It is not lame!" he retorted, and glanced menacingly at his brother as he began to turn into the airport. "It's the truth! Why the hell are you jumping down my throat, anyways?"

"Because I know you like her," Al responded, "you wouldn't act the way you do with her, or do the stupid stuff you do around her if you didn't."

They reached the onboarding entrance, and Al glared his brother down as he put the car in park. "And, because you're an idiot."

Ed grumbled as he hopped out of the driver's seat and popped the trunk. They pulled out Al's luggage and carry-on, and rolled their eyes at one another before they began to laugh.

"Be safe, brother," Ed smiled, and pulled Al into a tight hug.

"You, too," Al said, and, as they moved away, placed a hand on his older brother's shoulder, "and please, quit being an idiot. For me?"

Ed fought back a blush as he batted his brother's hand away. "Eh, shut up."

Al grabbed his things and started towards the electronic glass doors. "Next time I come to visit, you'd better have made a move."

"Or what?" Ed chastised, as he walked to the driver's side door.

Al turned around as he walked through the entryway and smirked mischievously. "Or maybe I'll take my chances with both her and Mei!"
