Chapter Six…..
When I entered the apartment, I saw four people seated in the living room. Three of them, I had instantly recognized. But, the for the last one…..
I don't know how to react!
"Alphonse!" Colonel Roy Mustang's voice greeted me first. Mei and I entered the room, a little soak with the sudden rain. "Colonel….." I took a step closer and slowly saw the face of the new comer. "Al…..this is the guy we found….." Riza said, softly. I took another step.
This guy was sitting on the sofa with his eyes covered by his hood. I could feel strange aura surrounding him.
(Author's Note: Okay…..so I just wanted to inform you all that I changed the point of view…)
Alphonse took a step closer to the boy he hoped to be the person he seeks for his whole life...not literally whole...but he searched for him for so long…...right?
The time seemed to move too slow….he walked step by step towards the person sitting at the sofa. He only needs to walk straight ahead…...just straight ahead! But why does it seems so hard?
Each step he took was a mystery….each step he took, was a step closer not only to the person sitting at the sofa but also to the answer he seek for so long…...each step…...was considered as important….
His heart was beating so fast he could become deaf in a matter of seconds...his whole body was trembling with fear...fear of losing his only hope...his thoughts filled with doubts...
What if he isn't the person his looking for?
What if he isn't his brother...his nii-san?
If he WAS nii-san...what if he'd changed?
His dream flashed in his mind...the memories of the dream he wanted to forget...but how could he if this mind kept thinking about stupid things?
Stupid? Silly?
So this ain't real? So this is just a fantasy?
. . !?
Al didn't notice that he halted in the middle of his path. Everyone in the room was silent. Thinking...and attempting to know...the reason of his sudden stop..For they knew that above all of the people...HE was the one who will be the most excited one if ever they found the person they ALL seek for...
"Al..." Winry was hesitant. She is hesitating on whether she will continue her question or not...after all...Al was sensitive in his feelings.
"Al are you okay?" Finally...finally! She successfully gathered all the courage she needed on asking this question...this simple question…..
But was that really the question she wanted to ask him?
For real, the thing she wanted to ask was "why did you stop? Aren't you excited on seeing him?" well if that person was really 'him'...
Al just gave her a 'weak' smile...yes...a weak smile. She felt bad..
Was that smile just now, a forced one?
Al continued on his path and walked straight...now with full determination...why in the first place, does he had to be that slow on reaching him? Why did he took so much time on getting there?
"nevermind..." he thought...trying his very best to clear up his mind.
When he reached him, he lowered himself to an eye-level with him and stared at his bowed-down position. His hood was blocking his looks...his face...so how on earth can he tell if they were really alike? He seems to recognize Al's presence for he had shivered a little. Finally, he slowly moved his head.
And when their eyes met...
He was speechless...
"His eyes...they were dull...and gold..."
Al unconsciously voiced out his thoughts…..Enough for all of the persons of the house to hear.
"They look exactly the same with nii-san..."
Winry felt the sudden urge to come near and comfort his friend. She was now sure that what she is about to do was right and will not hurt his feelings. And so, she took her step and was about to touch Al's shoulder when his action made her startled...but not only her...
Everyone….
Electrical blue light flashed between Al's body and the new boy. And within instants, Al had transmuted a dagger and directly pointed it on the boy's eyes. The room was silent was again. Everyone was too astonished to even flinched a little movement.
"Al what are you...doing?" Winry who was inches away from them asked in a not-so-sturred way. But still, her shaking voice was recognizable.
But….
Al gave no heave...
He didn't gave a slight respond to her question. It seemed that he didn't heard her at all! The boy just stared at him. His eyes didn't even flinch! Knowing that a dagger was pointing directly in your eyes, you should have blinked even for once! But he…H gave no response…..Nothing at all….This made Al's doubt flared.
"Envy...don't fool me..."
Al's voice echoed across the room.
Upon hearing this, Riza charged her gun, preparing for a sudden attack while Roy being in the military also, made the same response. "You mean to say that he's a homunculus!?" Izumi asked in disbelief. While Winry just stared at them blankly. "Al..." Winry could only muttered his name in response.
"You can't fool me the second time around, Envy...just gave up and tell me where nii-san is!" Al's voice was getting louder. He was being more furious than before. "Where is my brother!?"
He needed answers…!
He needed to know where he is…!
He missed him…..!
He missed his warmth!
He missed his brother…..!
And he believed…
That Envy was his key…..
Not even realizing that it was the other way around….
But, the boy just stared at him in response. That made him even more furious...more doubtful...he glared at him and drew the knife closer to his eyes. "If you won't talk right now...I'm going to cut your freaking eyes!"
But even with a louder voice and a intimidating threat...the boy only responds with a stare. A blank stare...
He was about to put his words into action when the boy spoke the certain word he was looking for...
"A-a-ru..."
Was it really the word he's seeking of?
Was it really just a word?
"I...I wanted to hear it..." this thought voiced across his mind.
"Al...Alphonse..."
"Keep going..." this thought echoed across his head. He, himself wasn't sure of what he was thinking right now.
"Alphonse..."
The boy once again called out his name.
It was a very nostalgic feeling. It was the voice that called out his name...ever since his birth..It was the voice of the person who had always been there for him..Who always took care of him...who had risked losing everything just to bring him back to life...
And then again...
A certain flashback of his memories crossed his mind...they were blurry but the face of his brother smiling at him can easily be seen. The surrounding was a destroyed building...and there was a transmutation underneath...
And as quickly as it appeared...it had disappeared.
He gazed at the boy in front of him once again...
He was slightly opening his mouth...somewhat hesitant if he will say the words or word he was about to voice out. He gaped as he heard his voice...
It felt like all of his anger...hatred was turned into something else...it felt like all the stress...trouble...pain he had gone through were all erased…. All within a span of single word. The word he longed for...
"Brother..."
Hike (yes)...
It was indeed a nostalgic feeling...
Author's Note! Thanks for the reviews by the way…

For those who Follows and Favorite this story….
ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
And for the readers who are reading this right now…...
And by the way...
the "a-a-ru" thing Ed said was simply "Al"
In the original Anime with Japanese Dubbed, you could probably hear him speak "Aru" instead of "Al" simply because there is no "L" in the Japanese Language...
That's all...Thank you...
