FMA Drabble 38:

Storm

The sky was dark; ominously dark - but it was not because it was getting late. Rather, it was due to the rapidly approaching storm that had been brewing at the horizons since the earlier part of the afternoon.

Alphonse Elric was not one to be afraid of storms, having survived far greater dangers. However, as the young teen stood looking at the dark clouds, a worried frown marked his face.

"What's wrong, Al?" Colonel Mustang asked. The Elric brothers were currently staying in his home, and the man had taken to caring a lot for the two of them.

"Brother's not home yet, and the weather looks like it's going to be really bad."

"Come on, Al," Mustang smiled reassuringly at the teen. "With all the things that Ed is capable of doing, I'm sure that this storm will barely trouble him at all."

Al nodded, but he did not look convinced.

"Let's go inside to wait." The raven-haired man suggested, even as a strong gust of wind hit them, causing them to shiver.

A few minutes later, the rain started falling. It was little more than a light drizzle at first, but within ten minutes, it had become a full-fledged downpour. Lightning streaked across the skies, and thunder boomed frequently.

Yet, Ed was nowhere to be seen.

Al's frown deepened, and he began pacing around worriedly. The Colonel, seeing the boy's distress, tried to calm him down.

"I'm sure Ed's fine." He told his younger companion. "He's probably taking shelter somewhere already."

Al shook his head. "Brother's more likely to run right through the storm, Roy. It's the kind of thing he would do. I'm just wondering why he hasn't reached home yet."

"He'll be home soon." Mustang replied.

Sure enough, it was not very long before the front door banged open to reveal an extremely soaked Ed.

"Blasted weather!" The teen muttered as he entered.

"Brother!" Al exclaimed, rushing forward the moment Ed had entered, fully intending to hug the soaked teen, but Ed managed to hold him off.

"You're gonna get wet if you come any closer, Al." The older Elric said. "You can come hug me after I get warm and dry."

After thinking for a moment, Al conceded. Then, he turned to Mustang, who had been standing behind him.

"Roy, could you get brother dry please?" He asked, grinning a little cheekily.

"Sure Al." Mustang replied, his own grin reflecting that of the younger teen. "I'll get him nice, warm, and dry."

Ed rolled his eyes, even as he let himself be directed into the bedroom.

"We'll have to get your wet clothes off first, of course," The man was saying.

"See you later, brother!" Al told his brother, his grin widening. "Quite some time later, I would think."

Then the younger Elric returned to his own room.

Notes: There's quite some hinting going on at the end there, and Al seems to be enjoying himself :P
