Just Like Me (Ed Elric x Reader)

Chapter 12

You're crying now.

Tears falling down your face, falling to the grass, being soaked up by the ground.

Your brother's blood is soaking into the ground too.

So is your throw up after seeing the contents of his head sprawled out on the ground.

You hear rustling and turn to see Ed waking up.

He looks around and sees that your crying.

"What's happening?" He asks you.

You open your mouth to speak, but nothing comes out.

Ed gets up and walks over to you. He notices your brother and sits down next to you.

He holds your head up and wipes the tears off your cheeks. You look at Brandon again.

You want to throw up again, but you already lost all of the contents of your stomach.

You turn to face Ed again.

He brushes the hair from your face, "It's gonna be okay. I know it."

You burry your head in his shoulder and cry again.

"Ya know, if you keep crying, my automails gonna rust," Ed said, trying to cheer you up.

You look up at him and smile weakly.

You lean over Brandon and whisper, hoping Ed won’t hear, "I'm gonna bring you back. Promise."

You kiss your brother's cheek and lean back.

"We have to leave him. We can't carry him," Ed says. You nod slowly.

Ed gets up and holds his hand out to you. You take it and get up.

You almost fall, but you lean against Ed. He puts his arm around you and you start walking.

"Where are we going?" You ask.

"I don't know. I don't even know where we are," Ed says.

You keep walking until you find a dirt road. You follow it for about an hour until you come across a man walking a horse.

"Excuse me, but can you tell me where we are?" Ed asks the man.

"The East side of Amestris, why? You lost?" the man says.

"A little, can you just tell us which way is Risembol?" You say quickly.

The man pointed to the road behind him, "That way, I just camer from there."

"Thanks," Ed says.

The man keeps walking, and you both keep walking towards Risembol.

"Amestris, huh? Welcome home Ed." you say quietly.

"No, Welcome Home, both of us." Ed replies, smiling weakly.
