Just Like Me (Ed Elric x Reader)

Chapter 1

You wake up to the sound of your front door opening.

You look around your room.

You must have fallen asleep reading. You still had on black skinny jeans and your Fullmetal Alchemist T-Shirt. You had an FMA book open on your bed next to you.

You look at your clock, 1:32 A.M..

Your parents are out of town for the week, so it wasn't them.

You think it could be your older brother.

But when you got out of bed and checked his room across the hall, he was sleeping on the floor, again.

You hear more shuffling in the kitchen. You walk into the living room.

For a second you think it could be sparkles, your black lab, but he's locked in the basement.

You aren't a girly girl, so you know how to handle a gun. You grab the hand gun your dad keeps behind the bookshelf.

You take the saftety off and walk towards the kitchen.

You flip on the light and point the gun at the first thing to move.

The shuffling stops and you face the back of someone's head.

"Put your hands on the table," you say.

He turns around and it's a guy with blonde hair in a braid, wearing a red jacket and black pants.

You say,"Lemme see your face, jerk."

He turns to look at you. You recognize him right away. What gave it away were his eyes, they're a bright golden.

"What's with the cosplay man?" you question.

"What's a cosplay?" he asks, looking confused.

"Your funny, but seriously, why are you in my house?"

"I was just looking for food, I thought no one was home."

"You thought wrong. You got a name?"

"Edward Elric. Geez, I thought you would know me."

"I know who Ed is but he's not you, he doesn't exhist in real life."

"Well, i'm here, aren't I?"

"Your not Ed. Turn and walk down those steps." you say annoyed.

You take him into the basement,"Sit there, I'm callin' the cops," you say to him. He sits without complaint. You pull out your phone and dial 911.

Barking comes from the other room. DAM IT!, you think. Sparkles comes running into the room right towards this 'Ed' guy.

"Sparkles no!" you yell, but he lunges and bites the guy's leg.

"Crap! Sparkles get out of here!" you pick up a loose rock and throw it at Sparkles. It hits him in the nose and he runs off whining.

"Are you alright, I have a first aid kit if you need it." you say, surprised at the level of kindness you just gave this guy.

"No, I'm fine, not a scratch," he says.

"How can you be fine?! My dog just ate your leg!" you yell, getting freaked out.

"Not my leg, my auto mail." He moves his pants leg up. His leg isn't there, it's all metal from the knee down.

"911 what is you emergency. Hello? Hello?" you hear, coming from the phone.

"Sorry, uh, I butt dialed you. Apologies, bye!" you say, freaking out.

"Uhm... I don't suppose your right arm is...." you trail off.

"Shoot it, I dare you," he says.

"What? No!"

"Just do it, I'll be fine, promise."

"No."

He gets up and walks up to you. You step back but he keeps walking. You end up against the wall. He puts his hand on your neck and shoves you against the wall. You were choking, your breathing shortens and you go on instincts. You raise the gun and shoot his shoulder.

He releases your neck and you cough a lot. He shows you the hole in his coat where you shot. It isn't bleeding. You look closer and you see a glint of metal under the coat.

"Uhm...." you mumble. Your vision goes blurry and you fall to the floor.
