Alphonse POV

"Haah..." Edward sighed as he began to rub his throat. "Are you okay brother? Need your 'meds'?", Alphonse asked, worry in his voice. "Yeah, a bit, and I've brought some this time, so I don't have to buy any right now. I've been taking them once a day, for about two weeks now. Didn't think I would need it again this fast". Edward and Alphonse speaked in codes, since reavealing to everyone, especially the military, that his 'meds' was blood, probably wasn't a good idea.

Though, it did make the whole team stare in confusion. "What kind of meds are you taking Ed?" Riza with a straight face, but she couldn't hide curiosity in her voice. "Oh, it's just some painkillers", Ed answer bored. That response made the whole bad, and the aura in the darkened. Beside telling them all happily how great his big brother was, Alphonse had also cried and gotten angry with himself. Telling his colleagues that it was his fault his brother suffered, in more ways than one. And Alphonse felt even worse, when he saw his brother suffer right in front of him. Sure, he was the happiest boy on the face of earth, since he finally got to see Edward again. But that meant that wasn't just in the presence of him, but loads of people. And central wasn't exactly a small town, and you'd have to walk pretty far to reach a farm. This was a very painful meeting for Ed.

'Constantly breathing in the scent of all those humans, what pain he must be in', Alphonse thought to himself self. 'But brother usually don't drink that often?' *snaps his fingers in his mind* 'He probably prepared himself for this, lowering the risk of attacking any human!'
Alphonse smiled to himself, proud and impressed, that his brother put so much thought into his visit. It also showed that Edward had wanted to meet him for quite some time, which made extremely happy. "What are you smiling about?" Ed asked suspeciesly. Al just said to him that Edward looked ridiculous, and that he laughed on the inside. Edward's head turned red, as he got mad, and demanded a bath some spare clothes. Al told him that could get those, as soon as his working hours was over. Edward, having nothing better to do, started to read some books on vampires. 'As soon as we are alone, I will tell brother the good news. Just little more, and will know how to turn him back to a human', Alphonse thought, getting serious about work. It was all most six in the afternoon, when the team was free for duty.

"Let's throw a party, now that we've finally met the The holy Edward Elric!" Havoc said with a huge grin plastered on his face. Everybody started laughing, and Edward turning beet red. After agreeing on eating at their local pub at half past seven, everybody went home, getting ready. Edward finally got his so desired shower.

Edward's pov

"Haah..." the hot water felt good on his dirty body. He started to scrub his scalp with a menthol scented shampoo. After washing his hair, he rinsed his body, wich was covered in dirty, gravel, blood and more, until he was spotless. He thanked his brother in his mind, for letting taking a bath at his place. He hadn't felt this clean in months. As he turned off the water, and stepped out of the steam, to grab a towel. He carefully tied it around hi waist, and walked out of the bathroom, and into Alphonse's bedroom, looking for clean clothes. As he was taking on some black boxers, Alphonse walked in. "Brother! You have to dry your hair probably, or else you'll- "I'll what? Get sick? It surprises me that you didn't know, but I haven't been able to get these past 8 years", Edward grinned. But all his little brother could do, was force him a pained smile. What Edward had said, had clearly made him feel guilty, witch made Ed guilty.

His smiled faltered, and awkward silence filled the room. "Uhm... Thanks for letting me borrow the shower, and these clothes!" Edward said, truly grateful, he hadn't felt this refreshed in a long time, if you ignore the fact of his burning throat. Alphonse smiled to him, and told him that it wasn't a problem. He told Ed that he would take a bath, before leaving the long haired blonde alone again. The little alchemist pulled on some black leather pants, a red wine button up shirt and some new black leather shoes (that Al had bought him). The smaller blonde tied his now clean and glossy hair, up into a high ponytail, reaching the middle of his back."Okay, ready to go" the no longer human boy said, gripping a couple of small bottles, containing blood, as walked downstairs.
