Ed groaned as he opened his eyes, the last thing he remembered was sacrificing himself for Al... Al! Snapping from his haze he tried to sit up, but found himself tangled in a mess of cloth. What?
"Nii-san?" Ed blinked and turned his head to the source of sound to meet with the face of blinking brown eyes.
"...Al?" Ed breathed, Al was in a flesh body again! Al waved his arms that were caught in the same cloth, blanket as Ed.
"This is strange, the last thing I remember was reviving you with the stone and now we're here in the form of babies," Al paused "well at least you are the same size as me now"
"I AM NOT AND WAS NOT A TINY LITTLE PIPSQUEAK!" Ed screamed but to a passerby, sounded like a baby's wail. The sound of footsteps approached them and Ed realized that they were situated at the foot of a door. A young woman appeared from behind the door and looked at the brothers in surprise.
"Babies?" she muttered to herself. Looking around for any sign of how they could have come to her doorstep and finding none, she scooped them up and carried them, causing Al to squeal and Ed to struggle in protest. She looked at them and sighed, "out of many things, I did not expect two adorable kids to end up at my doorstep" she said out loud. Noticing Ed's eyes, she hummed "one with such a unique eye colour too." The brothers stared at her, not understanding the foreign language she was speaking in.
Ed huffed and grumbled to Al "Who does she think she is? Carrying us around like this?"
Al sighed "Just go with it Nii-san, we can't do much in these bodies after all."
A week after the lady found the brothers, she went to gain official permission to raise Ed and Al. For reasons unknown to them, the blankets that were found with them had their name sewn on them, something Al was grateful for. Ed probably would have thrown a fit if he was forced to be addressed as something other than his own name.
It was hard to learn a new language. Why the hell are there so many rules? They caught on though, The Elric brothers were prodigies after all. Ed refused to address the women that brought them in, Aoki Suki, as 'Mum' addressing her as 'nee-chan instead. Suki simply smiled and accepted, encouraging Al to do the same, 22 is too young to be claiming that you have sons.
"But we are not required to attend! Why can't we just stay at home?"
"Because Ed, the only living things you interact with are Al and I, at this rate, you are going to be a loner when you grow up."
"I can interact with people! I just choose not to! Who wants to be friends with such immature people anyway?"
"If you can interact, introduce me to your friends ok? Lunch is in your front pocket, I packed onigiri and sushi."
"What? No stew?"
"We had stew two days ago Ed"
Al sighed, Ed and Suki were bickering again. Grabbing Ed by his wrist, he proceeded to drag Ed into the grounds of Teitan Preschool. "Lets go Brother, we'll be late." Suki laughed and waved them in, Al flashed a grin and waved back, nudging Ed to do the same. Ed grumbled and gave a small wave.
"I'll pick you up from your class so don't go anywhere when school ends!"
"Got it!"
Ed sighed as he ate his lunch, surrounded by the chatters of 3 year olds. Why was he here again? Reaching for his last piece of onigiri in his bento, he blinked. It disappeared. He looked over to Al who was finishing up his own lunch. "Uh Al, did you take my onigiri?"
Al blinked "No, why?" Ed grumbled and stared at his empty box, he was saving the tastiest looking one for the last. Blinking, he noticed the kid across from his was scarfing down an onigiri but his bento contents clearly showed that it did was not packed with any onigiri. He reached over and poked the boy in the arm.
"Is that mine?" Ed asked, pointing accusingly at the boy who had half of the onigiri sticking outside his mouth.
"uh..."
"and your bento has eel rice in it. So it couldn't have come from yours"
"but you looked like you were not going to eat it so I decided to help clear your box for you..." the thief looked down guiltily Ed huffed, reached over and plucked a piece of eel from the thief's rice.
"ahh! why did you do that?"
"Equivalent Exchange, you took mine, so I'll take a bit from yours" Ed replied, popping the eel in his mouth. The thief sighed at the lost of an eel and continued eating his lunch.
"Sorry about Genta-kun, he really loves food" Ed blinked and looked at the girl beside the thief.
Al smiled at her and waved back the apology, "It's alright, it was only a piece anyway."
"Still, Genta-kun, you should say sorry. Taking things from people without telling them is bad" a freckled boy piped up from the other side of the thie-Genta.
"...sorry" Ed stuck out his tongue at him "It's fine as long as you don't take my food again."
The girl beamed "Everyone's happy now then! I'm Yoshida Ayumi" pointing to the thi-Genta she continued "he is Kojima Genta."
"and I'm Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko!" ended Mitsuhiko, pointing to himself.
Al grinned "I'm Aoki Alphonse and he is my older brother, Aoki Edward" Ayumi blinked "If you are brother's but in the same level, does that mean you are twins?"
Ed shrugged "You can say that I guess" 'We are the same physical age after all'
"If you are twins why do you not look the same? Twins look just like each other after all." Genta asked, confused.
"Actually there are identical twins and fratnel twins, fratnel twins do not look alike, but identical twins do." Mitsuhiko informed him.
Al smiled "it's actually fraternal, not fratnel. But yeah, that's what we are." The teachers came over to fetch the students from the tiny cafeteria, signaling the end of lunch.
As they were leaving, Ed felt someone grab his hand. "um... I know we aren't in the same class, but do you want to sit with us tomorrow for lunch?" Ayumi asked sheepishly.
Ed blinked, "...sure?"
Ayumi beamed and ran off to join her classmates. "See you tomorrow then!"
Al grinned at Ed "That means we can bring them over to show Suki-neechan that you can interact with other living things." Ed rolled his eyes
"Whatever"
"Nii-san?"
"What is it Al?"
"Why did you easily accept to be their friend? They seem to be on the level of 'immature' as our other classmates"
"I don't know, but I feel that if he hang out with them, we might meet someone who is intellectually tolerable."
"..."
"Mitsuhiko seems slightly more tolerable than the others though"
"and this really nice nii-san came up and asked us about the sleeping man we saw last week. He even told us how helpful we were!" Genta explained to Ed and Al enthusiastically, waving his arms around to emphasize his point.
"uh huh"
"nii-san!"
Ed shrugged and pushed his milk box to Mitsuhiko "Wanna trade your juice with mine?"
"Huh? Ok I guess"
"Ed-kun, my mum says drinking milk helps you grow taller" Ayumi informed him.
Ed grumbled "I don't understand how milk is connected to height. It is not the only thing that has calcium, some vegetables and fish have it too."
"Isn't this great?" Ayumi squealed happily, "it is the first grade of elementary school and we are all in the same class!"
"It's much better to see each other in class than just during lunch" Al agreed with her. Next to him Ed was regaining his breath.
"That didn't mean you had to hug us to death"
"I'm the new transfer student, Edogawa Conan...nice to meet you!"
"Edogawa Conan? What a weird name" Genta said out loud.
Ed turned around to stare at him with a deadpan look "Al and my name's just like his, a foreign first name and a Japanese last name"
"Edward-kun! Genta-kun! Please stop talking! Conan-kun you may choose where to sit."
Sighs
