Paring: Edward Elric x Alphons Heiderich
Notes: This story is set sometime during the FMA movie, and is in Alphons Heiderich's personal viewpoint (Meaning that I means Alphons). He is thinking about his relation with Edward, who it all started.
Add. Notes: This is my first FMA Fanfic, and my second fanfic overall, so please be kind. Reviews will be greatly appreciated, and replied to if possible.

FullMetal Alchemist: Not Just a Substitute
Beginnings
-
I can still remember the time we first met. Well, the first time he saw me actually, because I did not know who he was at that time…
Flashback –
I was in the market near my apartment, buying groceries, when I was suddenly interrupted.
"Al! Why are you here?" A blond-haired young teenager, a little shorter than me, was pulling on my arm. It was bewildering; I had never seen him before, but he knew my name, and acted like I was some long lost kin of his.
"Who…who are you?" I asked him in surprise.
"Who am I? I'm your brother Edward! How can you forget? Why are you on this side of the gate Al?" He asked me earnestly, even desperately.
Brother? Gate? I did not know what he was taking about and was becoming increasingly confused, even a little frightened.
"I'm…I'm sorry, but I…I don't have any brothers! You…you must have mistaken me for someone else!" I stuttered, backing away quickly.
The look that appeared on his face upon hearing my words was indistinguishable, a mix of relief and disappointment, a look that almost broke my heart.
"But aren't you Alphonse?" He asked softly.
"My name is Alphons Heiderich." I told him.
"Oh." He muttered, almost to himself, "I'm very sorry then; you just looked so much like my younger brother, whom I have not seen in two years; who I may never get to see again…"
His tone was anguished, and I could almost see tears in his golden eyes. That made me feel really sorry for him, and made me want to care for him.
"Why…why don't you come over to my apartment?" I asked him tentatively. "Maybe I can get to know your problem more, and help you out? You probably need some rest too, you look worn out."
He looked at me for a moment, then looked down and nodded. "Thank you for your offer."
I then led him to my apartment, where he told me his story.
End Flashback –
That's how it all started. Now, it's been three months, and that boy, Edward Elric, has become my close friend, sharing my interest in rockets and stay in my small apartment with me. He has become more than a friend to me as well, sleeping in my bed with me, as my lover, I hope, and not just a substitute for his long lost brother Alphonse.
It is not that I do not sympathize with Edward; I sincerely do, and also hope that he would one day be reunited with his brother – Of course, I would not know how I would feel then – But I just hope that he does truly love me, and that he is not just using me to substitute what he misses.

Notes: I know its quite short, but its all that I can handle at this moment. This may or may not be a oneshot story; I need to come up with ideas first before I can know. Do review! Thanks!
