Summary: "Are you sure about this, Brother?"
"Her book is lying on the bed,
The two of hearts to mark her page.
Now who could ever walk away at chapter 21?
So, she can't be really gone."
-"Can't Be Really Gone"; Tim McGraw
"Are you sure about this, Brother?"
Glancing away from studying his reflection in the vanity mirror in the room he shared with his brother, Edward gave his brother a small smile. "I'm sure, Al. Besides, it's too late to back out now, right?"
Alphonse shifted on the bed, giving his brother a concerned look, then sighed and forced a smile. "Right." An uncertain pause. "You'll come back, right?"
The sounds of gunshots. Perfect, in time, like hammers banging on gavels, calling in the verdict.
That was it.
It was over.
A few steps and Edward was over to the bed, crouching down in front of his brother, slipping his arms around his shoulders. "Of course I will," he whispered, burying his face against Alphonse's neck.
Alphonse clung tightly to Edward, eyes flicking up to the green and white flag that had sat folded on the dresser and not moved from that spot for the last three weeks.
