-=You see nothing, since the PCD is facing the sky, but there's the sounds of debris being smashed into tiny, tiny splinters. And the soft wheeze of strained breathing.=-

[A few shaky breaths, but he comes up behind his brother, going to take his elbow. If he doesn't stop, he'll kill his automail.]

[Al just... stands there, until he's finished. Then, after several minutes go by, he sets a hand on his shoulder. ... for some reason, he remembers when he was much smaller, younger than Negi... and his hands were covered in Nina's blood.]

[... because, if he broke it, she wasn't there to fix him. Tears filled Al's eyes and he tugged a handkerchief from his pocket, taking Ed's forearm gently, cupping the cloth under his hand. As he does, his shoulders tremble, but he reaches out with his other arm, sliding it around his shoulders, pulling Ed in to hold him.

He may not want it, but he needs it.]

[Al's fingers rub against his brother's back, strong arms, warm shoulder, reassuring.]

[Even if he doesn't, Al keeps rubbing gently, holding him. He can feel the blood slowly soaking through the cloth, but he still doesn't move to treat it, not yet.]

Yeah, with winter coming.

[It's a whisper, but he brushes his thumb against the back of Ed's neck. It was an ache, a deep ache.]

[... they never do this. This is a complete shot in the dark.]

... you have a future together.

... when you go home, she'll be there... and you'll pick up right where you left off.

[He gives a slow squeeze.]

We've been apart for a long time. We can do it again, whether she comes here... or you go home.

[He's a bit proud of himself. His voice didn't break on that last part.]

From: [personal profile] al_truism
[He's holding it together. He'll be damned if he shows Ed any of that fear, and the fear is not what matters. He can't control what will happen, no one can. But no matter what, it would be okay.

Al sets a hand on the back of Ed's neck, his voice steady.]


Brother.
