The Depressed Alchemist (Fullmetal Alchemist) [DISCONTINUED]

The Depressed Alchemist

It's been two months sense the Elric's got their body's back. It was December 3, 1915. It was a rather gloomy day, but that didn't stop people from staying outdoors and letting the kids play around. Edward and Alphonse had just finished doing a mission. They headed to Roy Mustang's office to give him the report.  "Brother isn't it hard to be doing these types of missions sense well, you know, you can't use alchemy anymore?" Alphonse said as Edward crossed his arms and smirked. "What do you mean? I'm more capable of doing missions without alchemy " Edward cunningly chuckled. Alphonse giggled. "Well are you sure losing your ability to do alchemy to safe me was worth it?" Alphonse asked. "What?! Are you kidding me?! It was worth it!.. even though I knew that I wouldn't be able to use alchemy after I saved you, it didn't stop me. Your more important than alchemy Al" Edward said as he put his hands down. Alphonse looked at Edward with a worried look. Edward looked at him confused. "Hey brother are you alright?" Alphonse asked. Edward stood quiet and nodded. Alphonse sighed. "Ever sense the whole situation between you and Envy happened you've been more down and scared" Alphonse said. Edward stopped walking. "Al, can we please not talk about that?." Edward asked. Alphonse noticed that Edward was shivering"But it's better if you tell someone about your problems then not telling anyone and let the darkness drown you" Alphonse said wisely. "Don't worry Al... I'm fine, I just need time to process everything that happened.." Edward said as he kept shivering. "Are you going to tell Mustang?" Alphonse asked. Edward shook his head. "Did you at least write it in the report?!" Alphonse questioned. Edward sighed and shook his head. "Don't you think people are gonna ask why you have bruises or red marks on your neck, ankles and wrists?!" Alphonse rose his voice. "I can easily hide them. Its not like people will look at my ankles and plus I wear a coat so it will cover my wrists.." Edward said softly. Alphonse sighed. "What about your neck?" Alphonse asked. Edward shrugged which made Alphonse shake his head. Edward surprisingly opened the door normaly. The Elric's entered. "Welcome Fullmetal, I'm surprised you didn't slam the door open" Roy said as he was to busy doing his paper work. Alphonse walked to the couch and sat down. Edward groaned as he went infront of Roy's desk. He slammed the report on the desk making Roy look up from his paper to look at the short, long blond haired guy. "I got you the report you colonel basterd" Edward mumbled. Roy smiled. "Do you always have to be so rude?" Roy said as he cunningly smirked and rested his chin on his palm as he looked up at Edward. Edward rolled his eyes. "Whatever, anyways wheres lieutenant Hawkeye?" Edward asked as he crossed his arms and looked around. "She had some business she needed to take care of" Roy answered. Edward walked to the couch closes to the door and sat down. He rested his arms on the couch and crossed his legs. Roy began to read the report. Alphonse was to busy fixing his hair. "What is it with you and fixing your hair Al? It's not like you have long hair like me" Edward questioned. "Well you know I got to look good for thEm LaDy'S" Alphonse said dramatically. Edward shook his head in disappointment. "Your obsessed " Edward said. "WeLl, at least I'm not short and I look older then you AND people think I'm the older brother AND ALSO people think your a short girl most of the time now" Alphonse kept going. Edward chuckled slowly. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PIPSQUECK THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE WITH A MICROSCOPE BECAUSE HES SMALLER THEN A MOLECULE?!" Edward ranted.  "Uh brother I did not say that" Alphonse faced palmed. Someone cleared their throat. The Elric's looked at the direction the sound came from. Roy crossed his arms. "Again" Roy said. "Wait what?" Edward said as he stood up. "Do it again. This isn't a good report " Roy stated. Edward walked to Roy's desk and placed slammed his hands on the desk. "Oh like hell ima do that! " Edward shouted. Roy shrugged. "That took me hours to do!" Edward shouted once more. "Well maybe if you did it neater and better maybe you wouldn't have to do it again "Roy said as he neatly fixed the papers from the report and ripped them into pieces. Edward backed away in shock. Edward growled. He quickly stomped out of the room as he mumbled stuff. Alphonse looked at Roy. "What was that for?" Alphonse said as he stood up. "I was just saying facts, Alphonse " Roy said as he went back into doing paperwork. Alphonse sighed. "Colonel, please go easy on Ed" Alphonse said as Roy looked up from his papers and looked at Alphonse. "Dont ask why but, just please. He had a very, I mean very hard time during the mission" Alphonse said as he looked down. Roy was confused. Before Roy could say anything else Alphonse had already left the office. Roy sighed and went back into doing paperwork. Alphonse walked around the halls as he looked for his older brother. He sighed. "The problem of having a body again is that I have so much responsibilities of my own body" Alphonse wheezed as he ran into the bathroom. Once he entered he heard noises but, he really didn't care. When he was done doing his business he washed his hands. And once more he heard a noise but, it was more clearer then the other time. It was a whimper. He began to hear whimpers. He looked at a bathroom stall. He walked to it and knocked. "Uh excuse me?" Alphonse said concerned for the person. The whimpers stopped. He heard sniffled. "U-uh what?" The person spoke as he choked on his own tears. "Huh! Brother? What's wrong?" Alphonse said worriedly. "I-its nothing Alphonse " Edward said. "Brother, you never call me Alphonse unless your feeling down" Alphonse said which made Edward sigh. Edward opened the door. Alphonse saw Edward sitting on the toilet as he hugged his knees. Edward's eyes were red and puffy from crying. It really hurts Alphonse when he sees Edward crying. You might think he feels like that because that's his brother but, in general if Edward wasn't his brother he still will feel bad because Edward doesn't seem like that person who would cry. Edward is a outgoing person, hes always preserving and joking. Hes happy and playful all the time. So it really hurts Alphonse when he sees Edward crying or seeing him all fragile and weak. Edward wiped off his tears. Alphonse frowned. "Brother, why are you crying?" Alphonse said as Edward stopped hugging his knees and he also put his legs down from the toilet. Edward stood quiet as he tried to stop his crying. Alphonse sighed. "Is it about Envy?" Alphonse said carefully. Edward nodded as he looked down. Alphonse sighed. "Wanna talk about it?" Alphonse asked. Edward shook his head. Alphonse sighed. Edward stood up and left the stall. He washed his face and looked up at the mirror. -At the hotel- Edward was looking at the mirror again after he washed his face. His hair was all the way down to half of his waist. He had his hands on the edges of the sink so he would be able to lean on the sink. He sighed as he looked down at the sink. He saw the water slowly disappearing into the sink. He began to hear laughter from Envy and other men coming from his head. He groaned. He looked at a red mark which went around his wrist. He kept hearing the laughter. Edward tried not to cry. He sighed. C'mon Edward, do you really think your brother will find you? Envy's words played through Edward's head. Nothing can stop me. I'll make your life horrible if someone tries to interrupt the plan. Edward groaned. "SHUT UP! NOW!!" Edward shouted as he clutched his hair. He desperately tried to get rid of the voice. Once the voice disappeared he sighed. He placed his arms on the sink and grabbed the edge. Then he leaned on the sink. He looked up at the mirror. Envy was behind him. His eyes widen. His heart began to pound quickly as Envy was holding a chain. Tears threaten to leave his eyes. Edward slowly opened a tiny cabinet. He took out a gun. "Fullmetal "Envy said as he smirked. Edward quickly turned around and pointed the gun at Envy. "Woah Fullmetal theres no need for violence "Roy said as he put his hands up. Edward was in shock as he saw Roy instead of Envy. Once Edward stopped pointing the gun at Roy he sighed as Roy put his hands down. Edward was breathing heavily from the suspense. His eyes still watery, he gun the put in his back pocket. "W-what are you doing here? You almost gave me a heart attack " Edward clutched his heart as he looked at Roy annoyed. "Well I came to tell you that I need the report as soon as possible " Roy stated. Edward rolled his eyes. "Hey Fullmetal. Are you ok? You seemed like you were having a panic attack when I entered" Roy asked. Edward gulped and nodded as he weakly smiled at Roy. "Ok now, I must be going " Roy said as he did the salute. Edward did the same. Once Roy left Edward was infront of the bathroom door. He looked at the sink and closed the door. He locked it. His legs went weak. He leaned on the door and fell on his knees. He kept leaning on the door, his left arm was leaning on the door as well. Edward began to breathe in and out. Your safe now Ed. Theres no need to worry. Edward thought to himself.
