Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
AU: Tobira no Mukou e
Characters/Pairing: Nick, Talvi
Rating: T
Length: 315
Summary:
It was far more peaceful down on the grassy slope that led to the river - plus it had the added bonus of being out of the line of sight of most pedestrians. Nick sighed deeply head pillowed on his arms, and stared at the bright blue sky above him.
How many times had he done this, walking home from school? He was in no rush to get home, ever since his grandfather had been moved in with them Nick spent as little time at home as possible. The man unsettled him greatly, and Nick sincerely did not like being alone with him.
So he dallied. He would stay late after soccer club had ended, or spend the afternoon dozing on the riverbank under the bright summer sun. Anything to avoid going home.
Nick closed his eyes and sighed.
It was a strange feeling of nostalgia, the sound of the wind pushing through the long grasses at the edge of the water. It made him feel the slightest bit lonely, for something that he could no longer have.
When the shadow passed over him, Nick opened his eyes and squinted at the familiar blue uniform. “Thought I would find you here,” Talvi Leis said. She had taken off the stiff outer jacket, and was wearing a loose white tee shirt with the bottom half of her uniform. “Takeo thought you would be at the food stalls."
"Takeo thinks with his stomach sometimes,” Nick said.
“All of the time.” Talvi sat herself on the grass beside him, and plucked a long blade of grass to chew. She leaned back on one hand and looked up at the sky, same as Nick had been doing. “You come here often, don’t you?"
Nick sighed deeply. "It reminds me of home,” he said simply.
