Very nice...almost scattered thinking from Al that would take place at
night. Makes you wonder what the poor kid does when Ed's asleep.

Disclaimer: I don't own jack S***, throwing a lawsuit at me would be a waste
of my time, your time, and whomever the poor lawyer is that got suckered
into putting the lawsuit together. If I made money off my fics I'd be
driving something nice, not an 89 Plymouth grand voyager..... *twitch*
I sometimes wonder why it is that my brother worries so much about me. Its
not as if I'm able to die really, and my armor body is far less fragile than
his, even with his automail limbs. But I suppose it is something that big
brothers do.
As it stands my brother is both loved and hated by the people of the various
places that we go to. Loved by the common people that we go to help, and
hated by those who's plans we upset by making things right again. Brother
doesn't know it, but I've stopped many attempts on his life. While he
sleeps, I watch him. While I question the aspects of life, and the people
who live it in so many different ways, I am also the first to note that my
brother, while he has his problems, is a good person, and for that the
people who look at him and see a reflection of who they really are, hate
him.
I know that he hasn't given up on his quest to get me my body back. And I
know that its what he thinks about when he's not fooling the people who have
been oppressing the people he's been sent to protect. I also know that
while Colonel Mustang irritates him, big brother doesn't really hate him, at
least not yet.
Yet I can't seem to understand why he keeps running away from his feelings.
Pain he can deal with, hurt he just buries, but love is something I have yet
to see him take on. Sure, he loves me as any brother would. But if he even
begins to feel something for a girl he's on the first train out of the area.
He says its duty. He can't let himself get tied down with a girl because he
hasn't finished his promise to me, or his duty to the military now that he's
a state alchemist. I'm not entirely certain what it all means, but I do
know this, Edward Elric, the Full Metal Alchemist, my big brother can handle
just about anything thrown at him.
Maybe sometime in the future, I can become a state alchemist too. I know
that brother doesn't like the idea because it means that eventually we would
be split up by duty, but if I had my old body back, I know that I could help
people the way he does. He says that I help people as it is, that as a
civilian I'm able to do things that a person associated with the military
can't. I suppose its true to a degree.
There are towns that don't know about my brother, but absolutely hate the
military. I'm usually the one that is the biggest help to him because I am
able to help protect the people until he can prove that he is really on
their side. I don't get to do a lot of alchemy, but I guess its for the
best.
I sometimes wonder about the future. What it holds for us and what it means
for my brother to be known as he is. Perhaps someday I'll be able to find
out.
