Disclaimer~Dont own FMA or any of the charactors, warning Male/Male pairing, my first FMA fanfic and first Yaoi to boot. Dont know, have this new obsession with FMA and this particular pairing, but I thought I would twist the story around a bit, so far havent read this sort of plot line so hope it works out. Critism is welcome, flames are not, since they are just plain pointless and I dont wish to tolerate mindless barbs with no sucnificant reason, other than to say, this sucks and what not, anyhow you have been warned, dont read if you dont like Male/Male pairings or Sexual Sitiuations regarding Roy/Ed and some OOCness. Thank you much Mija...:-)..btw yes I have bad spelling and grammer problmes, I am working on it, no dont have a beta and no I dont have spell check, I do read over the chapters and try to correct my mistakes but dont always catch em and sometimes doing that makes me want to rewrite everything and thats always a very very bad thing for me, so please forgive any mistakes I have made, espcially with names and what not since Ive only seen FMA to chapter 26....so if ya havent seen that far then there might be spoilers, and another thing I know Hughes dies in ep 25, believe me I cried each time I saw it and I saw it like 4 times...but in my fic Hughes will be alive, cause I like him, hes goofy and lovable and I think FMA needs him. So no being mad k??? Just want Hughes in my fic, is that so bad?? *pouts*

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1

 

 

~~~It had been over a year now since Edward Elric had finally gotten his brothers body back, yet had failed to get his own arm and leg back as well. As Ed had explained like a thousand times it seemed, loosing his arm and leg so long ago had been his voluntary trade, in order for his brothers soul to be bound to the huge empty armor. Once ya gave something willingly in trade, you couldnt take it back once you got what you wanted. So Ed was stuck with his metal limbs, which at first Al had been truelly saddened about, till Ed revealed that he actually didnt mind the automail much, in fact it made him stronger and he liked the feeling that he could rely on its strength as well as his alchemy.

 

~~~After the transmutation, Ed had taken leave of the military to go back to Rizenbul to spend time with Al, Winry and Pinako. Al had always loved Rizenbul and had always wanted to go back, not to mention that it was way obvious that he had a thing for Winry, wich if Ed wasnt mistaken, was reciprocated. Of Course Mustang had tried to make a fuss, tried to cut Ed's time in Rizenbul short, but Ed had told him in no uncertain terms that if he didnt let him have this time with his "Family" he would be sending his watch back and not return at all. That had shut Mustang up, since he wanted Ed back in Central and under his thumb.

 

~~~By the time the year was up, Ed was actually climbing the walls and counting the days till he could go back to Central and his job, what ever that might be, since he no longer had the same drive he once had when looking for the philosopher Stone, but Ed had realized that he hated the quietness of the country life, hated being third wheel so to speak when Al and Winry would giggle and make googly eyes at each other. Not that he wanted to leave Al or anything, hell he loved his brother more than anything in the world, but it seemed like destiny had other plans now for them. Al's was in Rizenbul with Winry and his was...elsewhere.

 

"But brother....why dont you just quit the military now? We got what we wanted and they got what they wanted out of you as well...isnt it time you stayed put and led a normal life now?...cant you be happy here with me?...with Winry and Auntie Pinako?" Al asked with a sadness in his voice that Ed loathed to hear, it hurt to hear it, but it couldnt be avoided, this was how it was.

 

"You know Im happy with you Al...and with Winry and Pinako too..but truthfully? Its to damn boring around here...in all honesty Ive gotten used to the traveling and visiting new places and meeting new people, helping out where I can...I Like it and I dont really want to stop...mind you Al im not really crazy bout working for Mustang and the military but hell it pays the bills and my expenses when I travel...and Ive sort of gotten used to the gang back at central and all...." Ed replied a bit sheepishly as he continued to pack his small belongings in his suitcase.

 

"Is it because of me??...and Winry??? are you upset about us brother?" Al asked with a bit of guilt and sadness in his deeper but still innocent voice. Ed looked up at his younger brother surprised and shocked. Yes all was taller than him by a few inches but Ed had grown as well and was no longer short, he had finally gotten his growth spurt over the past year after he turned 18.

 

"What?!...are you nuts Al?!....why would I be upset with you or Winry?" Ed asked, totally confussed.

 

"Well...I...I thought..maybe you...might of had feelings for Winry...and thats why you couldnt stay...cause of us...being together." Al replied with blushed cheeks and sadness in his voice. Ed sighed.

 

"Al...I have never and I repeat never..had feelings for Winry other than brotherly sort of love...im happy you two hooked up...it makes me happy to know that you and Winry are together and will be happy with each other...it makes my heart feel full ya know?"

 

"Really brother??..your not just saying that to make me feel better?" Al asked with hope in his voice as he looked as his brother with wide hazel brown eyes, a few bangs from his pretty short brownish blondish hair getting in the way, he took after thier mother more than Ed did, Ed was thankfull for that.

 

"Al when have I ever lied to you?....about something important?" he added quickly as his brother was about to protest his first question.

 

"Never." Al replied with a sort of cross between a relieved yet sad sigh.

 

"Look Al...I luv ya, you know that...but after experiencing the things we did during our search for the stone...well I sort of got used to traveling ya know?...like remember when we would have to go back to Central or to East City after a mission? And I was always grumbling about being stuck in the city for to long? How antsy I would get to go on another mission?"

 

"Ya...you hated being in one place to long." Al smiled at the memories.

 

"Well thats how I feel now...after being in the city for so long and traveling all over the place...well it sort of feels wierd to be here in Rizenbul...frankly is dull as hell and Im itching to be back in the city or traveling from place to place...Im not a country boy anymore Al....After everything...I dont think I could be happy living here....not that I wont visit often and all, but the quietness of this village and uneventfullness is just....boringggg." Ed sort of whined. Al laughed, and Ed once again marveled at how much he loved to hear that laughter and see the smile grace his brother grown face. It made his heart swell with pride and love.

 

"But I know this is where you belong Al and I want you to be here...to be happy and live a wonderfull life with Winry and Pinako...you deserve some peace and quiet after everything we've been through and I know that your heart never really left home..but mine has...sorry Al."

 

"Dont be sorry brother...you deserve to be happy as well and if going back to Central makes you happy then I wish you all the best....but I better get lots of calls and letters and visits from you or I might just have to send Winry after you." Al warned playfully, but yet seriously at the same time and Ed had to shudder at the thought of a wrentch wielding Winry, stalking the streets of Central looking for him and beating him senseless for worring her and especially Al.

 

"I promise Al and thanks for understanding."

 

~~~It was a pretty tearfull goodbye, for Al and Winry that is and Ed regretably admitted that he had had to fight back tears as he boarded the train headed for Central. But he was content. Al was happy, Winry was happy and even the old hag Pinako was happy. As for him? His future was still uncertain, he wasnt crazy about working for the Military and being used as some tool, but he liked the majority of his job, especially when he could help people out. Besides...what would Mustang do without someone to torment or tease relentlessly. Not that he had much ammo to use now a days...not that Mustang knew that...he hadnt seen Ed for a year and Ed had definitly changed alot in that year. No more short cracks from his bastard of a Colonel..oops Brigadier General now. Ed smirked as he settled in his seat on the train and relaxed, wondering what the bastard would think of him now. With that in his head Ed fell asleep for the long ride back to Central and his true life. Not that he wouldnt miss Al, but without worring about his brother, Ed could do more things then he would of with his litlle brother tagging along with him.
