Forever I Am Yours
A/N: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or its characters. It all belongs to Hiromu Arakawa.
Thanks to my reviewers, I will make the second chapter. Please enjoy it. I'm trying.
I sat out in the hallway, watching people in blue uniforms carry stacks of books and paper to other rooms. One small girl with short brown hair struggled by with a pile of books, her teeth clenched as she fought under their weight. I wish I could help; but brother will be coming out soon and I don't want to worry him. She gave me a soft smile as she passed by, then I watched in slow motion as her left ankle caught onto her right foot and she hit the ground comedically. Standing up, I rushed to her side and snatched up as many books as I could. "Are you okay?" I asked quietly and she laughed, reaching a few feet away and putting her glasses back on. "I'm fine," she said, "that happens a lot." I felt myself laugh and I handed her half of the books. "Let me help you. How far away?" Nodding, she pointed ahead before taking her half of the books. "Only three doors, to the right." I nodded and glanced back momentarily at the office my brother was inside, to make sure he wouldn't come out, then hurried off to the door she had pointed at.
I returned to my seat after helping her replace the books on the shelves, then waited for my brother to come out. It'd been two hours of my helping her move books back into alphebetical order and making sure everything was where it belonged, and he still wasn't out! Finally, I heard the door latch click and my brother stepped out, looking around then at me. "Hey, Al!" He said, a big grin on his face. "What went on?" I asked, curious now. He handed a paper to one of the uniformed men with a cigarette in his mouth and they exchanged a few hushed words, then Ed nodded and turned back. "Follow me. What happened? I went into deeper trouble. But just think of how much fun it will be! We'll be staying a few days here, then we've got to head out somewhere, okay? According to ol' Mustang back there, we'll be traveling a lot with this job of mine. Thanks a lot for coming with me. Did you meet anyone?" I looked at him and shook my head. "I met this one girl, named Sheska... she's funny and nice. I helped her put the books away. She's some kind of book keeper or something." He laughed and patted my back. "Great!"
We walked for a while until he finally found where we were headed; a tall brown and red brick building with six or seven windows per every floor. There were only three or four floors, I couldn't very well count from the outside but I couldn't wait to see what it looked like on the inside. Brother took my hand and smiled, "Let's go in!" He exclaimed, dragging me inside and arranging us a room, then we hurried upstairs and into a small room with two beds, a couch and a table. Two large windows sat against the front wall, and a lamp stood, lonely, in a corner. There was a very tiny closet, enough for Ed's clothes, and a bookcase, so we could go back and get books to read from the library. "I love it!" I said, fairly loudly. Ed laughed and nodded, tossing himself down on a bed. "Definately...Hey, Al?" I looked over. "Yep?" He smiled, burying his face in the pillow. "I love you so much, Al."
Thank you so much for reading. I'm having writer's block slash not remembering what else to do in it. xD
I hope you enjoy it and NO Al is not crushing on Sheska.
Please review or have no third chapter.
