Alright, chapter 2 is finally here! It took a bit of sleeping to finally conjure up this one, but I have to say that I am glad how it turned out! Like I have said before, if you don't like the Elricest (sexual and emotional love between two brothers) then don't read! I can't force you to! Other than that, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I still do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. If I did, I would do something similar to what I said I would do to Riku and Sora; engineer clones to look and act like them in every way, and keep them as my own. Glares at readers I know what you were thinking, you dirty horn dogs!!!

The landscape around Edward was hazy and distorted, like seeing through a badly shaped telescope. "Where the hell am I?" His words floated and reverberated through the air. It seemed like their was nothing in that expanse but himself and the time passing by. Everything all around him was white, and it made his eyes burn with pain. Suddenly, he caught a flash of something moving through the murky white terrain. He ran toward, trying to find the source of the movement. After the first 5 minutes of suffering in vain, he saw it again, just a bit closer. He realed toward it, and what he saw stopped him dead cold… Envy…Envy was there, and in his left hand… was Alphonse.

"What's the matter, Edward? Do I finally have something precious to you?" The Homunculus sneered. Ed could only stare in horror at the scene. "What are you doing Envy? He's not part of this!" The words sounded weak even to him, and he realized he was shaking. "Let him go!"

"I think not, baby Elric. This one means something to you, and if he means something to you, that means he'll mean even more when he's dead!"

"EEEEDDDDD!!!! Ed, please help me!" Al looked terrified, and Ed couldn't stand to see him in the hands of Envy. "Hang on Al! I'll save you!" The elder Elric started toward them, in a slow jog at first, and then in a dead sprint, as if he was being chased by the Homunculi themselves. Envy just smiled, watching the teen approach them. As soon as Ed had gotten close enough, though, the Homunculus gave him a swift kick to the stomach, knocking the wind out of him and crumpling him to the ground. Ed brought his head up, looking upon Al. He was scared out of his mind, and there was nothing he could do. Nothing but sit and watch. Envy looked down at him and said, "Now that we are all here, let's get started! I think we should make this something spectacular and memorable!" His right hand began shape-shifting into different things, a sword-arm, a lance, an axe, until… "Ah, here we go! You should be familiar with this toy, Edward!" It was…because it was the very same thing that had killed him under Central that week ago. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he tried to reach toward Al, only to be rewarded with a kick to the face. "Well, I guess this is goodbye, Alphonse! You won't be coming back like your brother!!!"

The object slammed into his brother's chest, and it ripped through, past the bone and tissue and muscle. It protruded from the other side, and reverted back to its original form. Al's face showed disbelief and pain, almost as if not understanding what had happened. Envy brought out his hand, and gave it a lick as if tasting the blood. "Hmm, he is just as sweet as you were, Edward. Would you like a taste???" He let the younger Elric drop onto the floor, blood spilling out from the mortal wound.

Ed crawled toward the soon to be lifeless form, not believing, not wanting to believe. He cradled the younger brother's head in his arms as he spoke to him, softly, hardly above a whisper. "Al…I'm so….so sorry… I couldn't save you this time… I was too weak…" Al looked at him, tears in his eyes and said, "No…cough, cough…you saved me…I get to see you…one last time…That is enough…for me…" "No Al, don't leave me here alone…I don't know what to do without you, and there are still so many things we have to tell each other…"

Al gave him a sympathetic smile, and those eyes that never blamed him looked into him. "Ed, hurry…before it's too late…tell me…" Ed looked at him, eyes never looking away from those silver-grey orbs. "Al…I…I love you, Al…" Slowly, he brought his lips to his brothers, and they shared a kiss between them, both never backing away from it. Al smiled when they parted, and then, his eyes took the glaze of death, and he was no more.

"And now baby Elric, it's time for you!" And the next thing Ed knew was the darkness…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ed, ED! Wake up, Brother, wake up!!!" Ed was vaguely aware of being shaken awake from the terrible nightmare. He jumped up from the bed flailing to get away from the apparition of his mind. "NO!!! Stay away from me you bastard!!" Ed was frantic. "Brother, it's me, Alphonse! Please stop, it was just a bad dream!!!"

After about five minutes of Ed screaming at him and Al convincing him it was a dream, Edward wound up in his brother's arms, crying. Alphonse just held him there, reassuring him that everything was fine and that it was all just a bad dream. "Brother, it's all right."

Al picked up his elder brother and carried him to his bed. Ed seemed so frail to him, like he would have broken if he had dropped him in the slightest. "Here, get in bed. You can sleep with me tonight." Ed looked up at him, and Al was reminded of the hungry look. "Why is he looking at me like that? Why do I want him to look at me like that? What's going on?!" Al glanced away from those golden eyes, afraid to see what lay so deep in them.

"Al…Al…" Ed's voice called to him, beckoned him to look his way. "Al, please look at me. You even did in the dream, when you were so close to death. Please look at me…" Al sighed, not wanting to see the hunger in his eyes, but turned toward those pleading eyes to see… His brother hopped out of his hands, put his hands on the back of his head, and pulled him in close, and pressed his lips to his. Al just stood there, mind not quite working at that moment. "What is he…mmm… Wait, don't enjoy this!!! He's your brother, for God's sake!" Despite all the strife inside him, Al never pulled away from the entanglement. Time slowed considerably, and the moment between the two seemed to drag on for hours on end. Finally, Ed pulled away, and a thick coat of red painted his face. He looked shocked, probably from his own daring, and walked away from Al. The younger boy just stood there, trying to figure out what had just happened. "Ummm, Ed? What… why did that…why did you do that?" There was no hatred in the words, just confusion that would have littered anyone's voice.

Ed looked away from him, not wanting to remember the painful things he saw in his dream. "That…dream I had… you were in it. And so was Envy. I tried to stop it, I tried so hard… But I had to watch as he killed you, as he shoved his arm into your chest. I had to watch you die in front of me… I felt things that I shouldn't have felt, things that should have revolted me. But it didn't. After all of this, all the wandering we have done together, I don't know what else to say…" Edward looked down at his feet, trying to picture what they might look like melted off.

They both just stood there, waiting for the other to say something. Eventually, Al got to his bed and lay down. After a while, his fake snores ensued and told Ed that this was a conversation for another time

Yep, that's it. Sorry if it's not what you expected, but I will give you what you all want in due time, I promise. I'm not completely cruel...much. Anyway, as always, read and review! I need feedback!
