So this is my first fanfic and I'm not sure if anyone is reading it but if you are please comment! I know my writing is trash but I'm mainly writing it for myself.
"So Edward, being the youngest state alchemist is quite impressive." I stopped poking at the food on my plate and looked up at Edward smirking and asked "Why'd you join?" Edward seemed caught off guard by my question, which only raised my curiosity more. Either no one knows the truth or no one's asked but I doubt it's the second one. There's no way in hell none of the other military personnel haven't asked this kid why he's here. "Well? Why did you join?" I asked again incase he didn't hear me the first time, which I know he did. "It's none of your business." his voice was stern. I wasn't surprised by his answer considering what Rose told me in Liore but I was curious as to what he's told the rest of the military. We looked each other dead in the eyes. I could tell he was pissed by my questioning but I'm not one to beat around the bush, so I decided to tell him all I knew about his situation.
"I'm a friend of Rose's Edward. She told me about you and your brother, what you both did. So tell me what your goal is." He looked stunned by my blunt honesty but also seemed to respect it at the same time. He looked around the room a bit to make sure no one was in hearing distance, if the wrong person found out about him and Al they could be kicked out of the military and Edward couldn't risk it. "We're looking for a way to get our original bodies back." his voice was low but loud enough for me to hear him. 'This is going to be interesting' I thought. "Very well Edward. Count me in." I don't know why I wanted to help this kid exactly, what he was seeking seemed like a childish dream from a kid who couldn't accept loss. Yet I already wanted him to succeed.
Edward and I walked back to his room in silence. He wanted me to meet his younger brother Alphonse, who I wanted to meet anyway.
He stopped in front of room 145 and knocked and yelled "I'm coming in Al" as he swung open the door. I followed slightly behind him not wanting to intrude on Alphonse's privacy unlike Edward. "Brother! You can't bring random girls in here! At least warn me first!" Al exclaimed. "WHATTT?" Edward screamed as Alphonse cried "They grow up so fast." in the corner as he wiped his eyes with a tissue. "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT AL, SHE'S ACCOMPANYING US ON OUR NEXT MISSION!" Edward continued to scream obviously embarrassed by what Alphonse was suggesting. I watched them bicker back and forth for a few minutes before they both finally shut up long enough for me to get a word in. "Alphonse." I said calmly. "Do you really think I'D BE DESPERATE ENOUGH TO SLEEP WITH THAT MIDGET." I screamed. Before Alphonse could respond Edward erupted "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING A MIDGET? WE'RE THE SAME HEIGHT!" "I'M A TEENAGE GIRL EDWARD, GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO HIT THEIR GROWTH SPURT BY NOW." I spit back equally as loud. Edward looked as if he was about to kill me and Alphonse couldn't get enough of it, laughing harder than I'd ever heard before. After Edward and I both calmed down I properly introduced myself to Alphonse; he was a lot nicer than Edward and had actual manners. Edward and Alphonse went on to explain how their mom had died when they were younger, their training with a teacher named Izumi Curtis and their attempt at Human Transmutation.
"I see….So you lost your leg and Alphonse lost his body, so you gave your right arm to bound his soul to a suit of armor…." I asked to make sure I understood. "Yeah, but don't worry Al we'll get your body back." Ed said knocking on Alphonse's armor. "Don't forget your body too, Brother." Alphonse replied. Their bond was like no other, it was truly incredible. "Hopefully I can get my body back too." I said tugging on my right jacket sleeve revealing my automail. "Considering I'm just like you."
