Death XXIX

"N-nii-san?" Alphonse couldn't believe what was before his eyes, it couldn't be possible. "Nii-san!" It was just automail surgery, something Edward had gone through enough times and always manage to be okay in the end of it. Sure, this time it wasn't Winry and Granny doing it and the room wasn't exactly sterile and Ed had been really hurt...but..."No!" Alphonse flung himself against the tarnished sheets, eyes only for his brothers pale, bloodied skin and wide, blanks eyes. Ed was...Ed was...the boy didn't know what to do...not without his brother...not without...so he just cried.

It was the end of the world in his mind.
