A/N: I live off reviews. I can't write without some motivation. So please review and check out my other stories!
Edward looked in the room in shock. He looked around taking in the scene before him. Their were streamers hanging of the ceiling. They had pushed all the desk together to make one big table that held all the food. Including a large cake with words 'Happy 16th Birthday Edward!' on it.
Everyone was there. Alphonse, Mustang, Hawkeyes (with black Hayate), Breda, Fury, Farman, Jean, Maes, Gracia, Elysia, Winry, old lady Pinako even Sciezska had showed up. The only people that was missing was Izumi and Sig.
Yang was extremely heart warmed at the sight. To think they would care so much to put all this together. Yin on the other hand was immensely annoyed at the sight. He had told Alphonse not to make a big deal of his birthday this year. Of course he didn't listen! Should have expected that.
To avoid Yin exploding on everyone Yang made his way out. It would not do to let Yin's anger get started. If it did Yang would have to hear him rant for the rest of the night. A headache Yang would do anything to avoid. Alphonse followed after him leaving a confused crowd.
Edward walked grumpily down the hallway. People skitted away at the sight of his death glare. "Brother!" Edward heard coming from behind him. He felt a metal hand grab onto his shoulder "Brother, where are you going?" Alphonse ask. Edward rounded on him.
"I told you no parties this year. I made myself very clear that I wanted nothing eventful this year! But did you listen! Noooooo! You just had to go against me!" Yin shouted anger getting the best of him. "Brother.. I.." Alphonse didn't have a chance to say anything as Edward made a break out the building.
Even when he was out he kept running until he was miles away. Edward slowed to a hault to catch his breath. Then he began to walk again. Taking care not to go anywhere the others would think to look for him. Edward went into a daze mode as he was put on 'autopilot'.
(Edward's Mind)
Yin was curled into a ball hands over his ears as he tried to block out Yang's angry rant. "How could you say that to Alphonse! He was only being nice! Do you know gow much all that must have had to been to put together! Are you even listening to me!" He shouted.
"Yes! Yes! I hear you! I sorry! Please stop shouting!" Yin screamed back. Yang just sighed. "what are we going to do. When we get back their going to want and explanation. By then we will be separated and I doubt either of us can come up with a believable lie on the spot." Yang said.
"We also need to figure out what I'm going to do. How am I supposed to stay near you if they can't see me? How will we explain the extra person?" Yin added. Both sighed. They'd been asking themselves these questions for months with no results.
"Well I guess you just have to keep your distance from me until we can think of something." Yang said. Yin blinked a few times in disbelief. "You mean like be apart? Yang we are never apart. I'm not going to leave you defenseless." Yin said.
"I know but we could always talk to each other with our minds and I don't mean like miles apart just far enough where no one will notice you." Yang said causing Yin to sigh "Fine." He conceited.
"Just promise you won't try to fight without me?" he ask. Yang smiled "Deal." he said before something came to mind. "Hey what time is it?" He ask. Making his way back 'out' to see what point of day it was.
It was night and the moon was almost at it's peek. Almost midnight. Edward gasp they would separate soon. He had to make it to the woods. Edward broke into a fast sprint running as fast as his short legs would carry him.
He ran until he was deep in the forest. Once he felt he was deep enough no one would see his split he stopped. Taking deep breaths he looked back into the sky the moon had reached it's full height. Edward spread out his arms letting the 'divide' take hold of them.
It was painful at first. Imagine having your very soul ripped in two. Being separated from your love and your other half. The feeling soon subsided leaving a dull ache in it's wake.
Yang raised up still dressed as Edward looking as if nothing has change. Except the annoyed lines that always mared his face were gone. He looked to his left to see a darker copy of himself red eyes, dark black hair, all black leather on. Edward looked down to see all his clothes were white. Except they each had boots, gloves, anf t-shirt of each other's color.
Yang fried to sit up but groaned at the empty feeling he felt. Yin hearing his discomfort launched up and was immediately by his side. "You okay Yang? You didn't get hurt in the 'divide' did you?" He ask worriedly looking him over for visible injuries.
"No, I'm fine just have to get used to not being completely with you." Yang said chuckling dryly. Yin smiled reassuringly "Yeah, I feel it too, but don't worry I'm still here. Were never really apart." Yin said. Yang smiled. That's right they were never truly apart. they just had more... opportunities now. And Yang couldn't wait to see where they lead.
