Fullmetal Alchemist (Reverse'verse) - The Bad Parts [EdRian | AlWin]
Title: the bad parts
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
AU: Reverse'verse
Characters/Pairing: Ed/Rian, Al
Rating: T
Length: 393
Summary: “You know, we weren’t that much older when Mom died,” Edward murmured, and Alphonse’s attention swiveled back to his brother. “There’s nothing wrong with learning life lessons early.”
“Ed,” Alphonse said patiently. “Mom’s death fucked us up.”
“Why do you keep giving me the dead goldfish to dispose of?” Edward asked rhetorically as Alphonse placed the fishbowl on his desk. “You have a cat. Or three, if I recall.”
“Yes, and with my luck one of them would vomit the partially-digested remains of Spotty on the kid’s bed,” Alphonse said wearily. “Can you get me another one?”
“You let the kid name his fish Spotty?” Edward peered in the bowl. “You know, I sense a life lesson about the life cycle here.”
“He’s five, Ed.” Alphonse rubbed his face, and Edward glanced up at his brother, raising his eyebrow. “He’s a little young for that, and he’s REALLY attached to this stupid fish.”
“Isn’t that, like, the seventh one?” Rian said from the couch. Alphonse glanced back at him, a scowl on his face. “I don’t know if I’d trust him alone with kids if he can’t keep a goldfish alive for a week.”
“You know, we weren’t that much older when Mom died,” Edward murmured, and Alphonse’s attention swiveled back to his brother. “There’s nothing wrong with learning life lessons early.”
“Ed,” Alphonse said patiently. “Mom’s death fucked us up.”
“Well, yeah, but we turned out all right.” Edward nodded, and looked at Rian for confirmation. “Right?”
“You’re a pedantic megalomaniac with a flair for pederasty,” Rian said, and Edward’s smirk vanished. “What? It’s true.”
“Wow,” Alphonse said, clearly impressed. “He’s really got you pegged, doesn’t he?”
“I am NOT a megalomaniac,” Edward said sulkily, and sat back in his chair. “What about Al, huh?”
Rian looked at Alphonse. “He’s got a wife, two kids and three cats. But, on the other hand the lieutenant colonel can’t keep a goldfish alive for twelve consecutive hours, so you’ve at least got that on him.”
“Yipee,” Edward muttered.
