Chapter 2: Corruption On The Horizon.
The next day came in a flash. When all seemed peachy in their world, a dark, dark, storm was brewing on the horizon.
*Yaawwnn* "Good morning, brother."
Alphonse tiredly whispered into Edward's ear. His warm breath tickling the small hairs behind Ed's ear, and sent shivers down his spine, even without him being fully awake. He just knew it was his lover and brother. And that's all that mattered.
"Mmmh? Oh! Good morning to you too, Al. What's on your mind? You look nervous."
Edward asked, concerned with Alphonse's fragile heart. He didn't need another breakdown. But what happened after it, was soooo worth it..
Ed thought to himself for a split second, before his brother began to speak.
"I have a bad feeling.. I just feel this strong dark aura.. And I don't like it. Not one bit. Have you ever felt like that?"
Alphonse confided in his husband very often, but this was an unsettling feeling.
"Hmm, yes. I have felt like that. A few times, actually… When we tried to transmute Mom… I just knew something wasn't right. And when- Yeah, you get the point… I suggest you take a quick nap. Clear your mind for the day, okay?"
Edward spoke in a loving and concerned tone, just like any man would if his wife was hurting. But in this case, it was HIS husband. Awkward? Yeah, but he loved Alphonse so much; he would go through it all.
"Yes, brother. I think I will do that. Thank you for the advice. I love you so much, please remember that."
Alphonse rested his head on one of the many pillows on the bed, and snuggled with Edward until he was just the right temperature. Once Edward knew Al was fast asleep, though reluctant to do so; he went to the bathroom and washed up for the day. He then walked out into the living room, through a narrow hallway hidden by a large mirror, and pulled down the long rope that is connected to the stairway to the attic. His sanctuary of Alchemy.
"Well then… Let's go to page 209, and begin the research on dark auras and their meanings. I have to help Alphonse! There could be something seriously wrong…"
Edward's graceful fingers flipped through the old and dusty tome's pages until he found the one he was looking for.
"Aha! Dark Auras and why we have them."
Edward read and read, he knew most of the information by heart. But as he pushed on, his eyes widened in shock and terror.
"When you or a loved one experiences an unsettling feeling out of the blue, when nothing is obviously wrong, this is an Aura. These can be dangerous, and may lead to hard times. Take these well, and use them as a warning, and a cautious reminder to be careful, and keep an eye on the person who is experiencing it, because depending on the Aura and the person's mentality/fragility, this can affect their psychology very much. Examples are: Haunting dreams, paranoia, unresponsiveness, or overly stimulated, hallucinations, wanting to leave the place that causes the Aura, and in rare cases, suicide."
Edward couldn't read anymore before he launched himself down the stairs, sending pages of research in every direction, he raced through the house to Alphonse's resting place.
"ALPHONSE!"
Edward screamed when he saw Al trying to hang himself. Ed quickly cut Alphonse down, and shook him until Al began to cry.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? WH- WH- WHY! YOU COULD HAVE DIED! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT YOU?"
Now Alphonse was crying hysterically. He was shaking and sweating, his eyes began to roll backwards, as if he were looking up. He couldn't stop saying one sentence. These words confused Edward terribly; all he wanted to do was help his poor lover, but he couldn't until he understood.
"Old friends, old rivals, this will prove to be a new trial; by fire, by ice, and nothing will be nice! The Mustang gallops boldly, but into something it didn't expect; now it is time for one hero to rise again!"
Alphonse's tremors began to fade away, as the fog from his eyes left him, he collapsed onto the bed. Left wondering, what happened?
"Al? Are you okay? You were just freaking out, I didn't know what to do, I'm so sorry I shook you!"
Edward pleaded with his brother, but Alphonse didn't seem to remember a thing about what just went on.
"Ed? What happened to me? I still feel this weight on me… But it is not as bad as before."
"Al.. Oh thank goodness, AL! You said something that alarmed me.."
Edward told his brother about what he said and what Ed thought it might mean.
"I have a feeling that there is a war going on. And when you mentioned a Mustang, I think you were referring to Colonel Roy Mustang. He is a confident guy, and he usually doesn't know what he gets himself into. I'm not sure what to do… Do you think anyone could find us if they needed assistance?"
Edward stated what he thought was true, but he was still unsure about this.
"Y- Yes, I think so. I remember telling Riza Hawkeye where we were going, but not our exact location. I didn't want you to be disturbed. I'm sure she will find us if they are in dire need of help."
Alphonse admitted to telling Riza their whereabouts, just as he was told NOT to do by Edward. But this was not the issue.
"Okay, so let's be ready for whatever comes our way… I'm not even sure I can say I will be completely ready."
Edward admitted to his weakness, but gave Alphonse hope with a passionate kiss on the lips.
Ahh, Edward is so romantic, even at his worst, he always manages to make time for our relationship. Mmm? Some tongue action? Access granted.
Alphonse thought to himself cheerily as he and Edward kissed.
Al had a flashback to when they got married, what a beautiful day…..
It was beautiful. The flowers, the archway, our sweet little cottage, it all seemed to come out of the fairy tales our mother used to read to Edward and I, to much of our father's distaste. But what was the most beautiful of all? Edward, my groom; he was and still is my world. Edward stood there, under the archway covered in flowers, and of course, the traditional wedding bells. Ed was so handsome in his deep maroon tuxedo, just so refined. The kind of man I like. It was pure magic! I was adorned with a baby blue tuxedo, with a bright pink flower peeking out of my chest pocket, matching Edward's. I wore the handmade veil Ed created for me. He didn't even use Alchemy! He was preparing this piece for months, and it looked stunning. Lacy and white, small pearls and diamonds and one slightly larger in size Aquamarine gem, and a Ruby gem to match it. The headpiece rested on the top of my long locks of hair. It was like fire and ice. That's why we are so perfect for each other.
As I slowly walked down the aisle, with the veil over my face, as this was proper for a 'wife' to be approaching her soon to be husband. This wedding was private for many reasons. One thing, we are brothers, and another, is that we are both grown men. Both illegal where we come from and we agreed that no one would understand our more than brotherly affection, and did not wish to get them caught up with the authorities.
When I arrived at Edward's waiting point, he whispered,
"You are so beautiful, now and forever."
Tears burned my eyes, but I blinked them away. We memorized our vows, but when we said them, they meant so much more. The words were the binding of two brothers. A sinful act for such a holy ceremony. We didn't care, not anymore at least. And we were content with that. This time was ours. And ours alone. And it didn't bother us one bit. All that mattered is that we were together.
The moment that Edward's lips met mine, he secretly transmuted fireworks literally behind my back. At first, I thought I was dreaming! I was also surprised by how well the wedding rings fit. Mine said 'Edward's Heart' engraved on the inside of the ring. And a small heart shaped Ruby was set inside the smooth silver surface. Edward's said 'Alphonse's Heart' with the same design of heart, but an Aquamarine gem replaced the Ruby in his.
We kissed each other passionately for what seemed to be years, yet it stopped time, and all we could see were our eyes, locked on one another. And by the time that was done, we were already drunk off of the sweetest champagne you could find, and already on the bed. It was a long night, Our first time. We promised to wait until we were married to save such a special thing. It was loud and sloppy, but we both got the message: Undying Love. This was the ultimate way of showing it. But we did this every day, so we got better and better.
"And boy, it's one hell of a ride!"
Is what Edward always says after I ask him what I felt like.
But after getting my body back (before the wedding, of course) it was hard for me to get used to pain, since I used to be a giant suit of armor. I felt nothing at all what so ever. And now, everything I touch is so exciting! (Especially Edward) And another problem with my body was that my hormones were a little behind, so, I had issues with these 'urges'. But we finally got married, and that won't be a problem anymore, because we are both "On Call".
I still cannot believe that my husband came out of the same woman as I did. And I would have never considered feeling like this for my brother when I was a toddler.
Life is sometimes truly amazing.
