Alright so where were we again? Oh yes now I remember! I was getting Ed food.
"Hey Al, could you do me a favor?" I asked sweetly as I prepared Ed's dinner, along with Winry's.
"What is it Minty?" he asked.
"Could you get me those two books on the top of the left shelf please?" I replied," I would get it, but I'm busy making dinner."
"Okay," he replied. I smiled at the thought of his reaction he would have when he saw himself on the cover on the FMA manga books.
"AHHHH!" Al yelled in shock. Right on cue too. You ran out of the kitchen to see Al clutching the second volume of the FMA manga in his hands.
"Al, I would have told you, but I just thought this would be easier on you," you cooed to him softly. He turned and looked at you.
"What does this mean Minty?" Al asked in a state of worry.
"Well Al, it means that you're not in your world anymore. You're in mine, it's a little different than yours. But you'll get along just fine until we figure a way to get you home," I explained while taking the book from his grasp.
"A-Are you sure?" he asked. He sounded like a small child, lonely and scared.
"Positive," I replied with a soft smile, "come on, let's go make Ed and Winry's dinner okay?" He mutely nodded his head, and followed me into the kitchen.
"Here you go, I hope you like it! I gave you juice instead of milk, I knew you wouldn't like milk," I said while setting down the plate of grilled cheese and apple juice infront of Ed.
"How'd you know?" he asked with a smile. I sighed then sat down on the edge of the bed. I then looked at Al who nodded and went out of the room. He returned with the manga in his hands and gave it to Ed.
"What's this?" asked a confused Ed.
"It's a manga, called 'Fullmetal Alchemist'," I replied with a sad look.
"Haha! You know that's really funny, bec-" Ed stopped in mid-sentence as he looked at the cover of the book, then looked back up at me with a fearful look, "W-What the hell does this mean?"
"Ed, I don't know how this happened, but you somehow got transported to this dimension from your own," I explained softly, with my eyes downcast.
"N-No, this can't be, it's impossible! Simply impossible! I won't believe it!" Ed yelled, hiding his true emotions behind his anger. He may have been acting angry, but the look in his eyes told me he was sad, and scared.
"Ed, it's-"
"Don't tell me it's gonna be okay dammit! Cause it's not! How the hell did this happen! AHHHHHH!" he screamed, then grabbed his pillow and started to beat it with hard punches. It hurt me to see him like this, so I gently wrapped my arms around his neck. He started hitting me continuously screaming for me to let go, calling me names I've come accustomed to. I ignored his yelling and held him tight, rubbing his back gently from time to time. Finally, he gave in, and broke down into sobs on my shoulder, holding me tight. I continued to rub his back, and rock gently back and forth.
"There, there, it's okay, we're gonna get through this. I'm gonna get you back home I promise," I cooed softly into his ear. He must of been exhausted, so I sang the old lullaby my mother would sing to me and my brother every night. As I continued to sing, I could of sworn I heard Al crying softly. I turned around to find him in the crying position, even though tears weren't coming out.
"Al, come over here," I whispered softly. He obeyed, and I wrapped one of my arms around his neck. After a few seconds, Al started to cry into my shoulder as well. I comforted them both, and Winry just watched in amazement. As I was rocking back and forth, I felt Ed lean more of his weight against me, both of the brothers had stopped crying by then, so I had stayed by them for company. As I watched Ed sleep, I felt a pair of eyes burning a hole through the side of my head, but I shrugged it off.
It was probably around midnight, when I had let go of Ed, but once I did, I heard a small whimper escape his lips. I sighed, then laid him down in a more comfortable position on the bed. Once I did that, I moved Al to the cushioned chair right next to it. After that, I crawled on the other side of Ed, and caressed his face, until I soon fell into a gentle sleep.
