--I fucking told you, but do they ever listen to me? No! Why the hell should they pay attention?

This place is a fucking time bomb and I've had enough of it. The Animus can go to hell for all I care!


-=Cue no scene with Ed, but just a view of one of his bedroom walls and a bunch of stomping around. Hey, at least he doesn't have to worry about a ring this time.=-

Gah. -=His nose wrinkles as he wipes his face with a hand.=-

Fine. -=He looks up, eyes with pain and that dogged determination he's had in the past.=-

Don't you ask me to take another chance again. And you know if she shows up, she won't remember a blasted thing, so don't talk to me about trying again.

[al_truism]

... Break remembered me.

[Very softly.]

[Offline]-for the expression, not the gun.

[saintedsinner]

Promise me.

[Offline]

[al_truism]

I can't.

[Offline]

[saintedsinner]

Yes you can.

-=He then starts to stalk off in another direction.=-

Obnoxious little brothers...

[al_truism]

[Al flushes, follows after him a few steps, then stops.]

Come home in time for dinner. I'm making stew.

[Offline]

[saintedsinner]

Not hungry. -=No appetite now, that's for certain. He doesn't feel like anything. Numb, he supposes.=-

[Offline]

[al_truism]

Your body is, even if you aren't.

[Al bites his tongue. Nagging. Good idea right now.]

[Offline]

[saintedsinner]

I'll come home when I feel like it. -=There could have been bite to it, but there isn't.=-

[Offline]

[al_truism]

... okay.

[Offline]

[saintedsinner]

I'll see you later.

[al_truism]

[Al stares at his back. Maybe it's this week, this event, everything- but he can't watch him go.

He breaks into a run and catches up.]

Ed-!

[Offline]

[saintedsinner]

-=Yeah, Ed hasn't been sleeping well himself, but he has no clue just how bad Al has it. He turns, giving Al a confused look.=-

What?

[Offline]

[al_truism]

[Al stops within reach of his brother, not winded, but he looks into his face.]

... make... sure you do come home, okay-?

[There's something more than a little vulnerable in his words.]

[Offline]

[saintedsinner]

-=The way he looks, the tone in Al's voice, it gives Ed a reason to pause and he's quiet for a moment. Finally there's a small, sad smile and he ruffles Al's hair.=-

Yeah, Al. I'll come home.

[Offline]

[al_truism]

[No matter who Edward loses, there's someone who will always be there, and who will always care for him. Who will always remember.

Al smiles back, ducking his head at the hair ruffle. Relieved.]

Be safe.

[Offline]

[saintedsinner]

I will.

[al_truism]

[Al pats him gently on the back and turns around, leaving him to it.]
