A.N: The muse is finally back, I was just reading the announcement of the winners for prompt 17 and this popped into my head. I'm so happy right now. And it's angst, I've missed my angst. This was written for the prompt 'Restless' at the FMA fic contest on LJ and I actually won, yay :) I've been a little neglectful of my posting lately and I'm sorry so to make up for it I'm going to post a few drabbles today, hope you enjoy.

He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling and listening to the rainfall outside, his eyes closed and opened as his brain continued its ceaseless wondering. He was so tired but he couldn't sleep, he just kept going over and over in his mind what they would be doing tomorrow.
Was it right to attempt this? Wasn't it going against not only all the laws of alchemy, but also the laws of a God they didn't really believe in?
Was it what she would have wanted?
He had no answers to the questions plaguing his mind; in fact they just spawned more questions the longer he thought. Would they be here with their mother this time tomorrow? Would she be the way she was before?
Would she still love them?
His body screamed out for peace, for sleep but his mind was too restless to listen. He had doubts, serious doubts but he would never tell. Brother wanted this so much for both of them; he said they didn't deserve to be alone.
He slipped from the bed and padded over to the desk to check through the calculations one more time, they were already perfect but it never hurt to be sure.
Anyway, he could always sleep tomorrow.
