- I haven't done an Alphonse drabble in a while. Especially for you, Nisee; your favorite FMA character. (: -

39. Standing Out.

"Hey, isn't that one of the Elric brothers?"

"Yeah, I think it is!"

"I can't be the former State Alchemist; he has longer hair."

"You're right- it has to be the younger one."

It's funny; I thought having my body back would attract less attention. Of course, I'm used to standing out. I was a suit of armor, after all.

I used to be a reminder of the past in that armor; a reminder of the mistake that changed our lives forever. Now, with my body returned, I'm a reminder of how far we've come since then; a reminder of our triumph.

I didn't really mind sticking out then, and I certainly don't mind it now.

Especially if I stand out because of something that brings hope to people. Something that's good.

Something Brother and I both know is worth fighting for.
