It was almost midnight, but Alphonse still sat in the kitchen of his apartment
It was almost midnight, but Alphonse still sat in the kitchen of his apartment. Or their apartment…His brother lived there too…had lived at least…
It seemed like he wouldn't sleep tonight either. Too many thoughts, too many questions without answers.
Where are you brother? Are you dead? How can I continue from now?
Should I kill myself?
Suddenly he heard noises from the frontyard. It sounded like two persons walking and talking there… Al felt suspicious. Who would it be at this hour?
And maybe…No…It wasn't possible… He hurried to the door.
"Why…we…here?" Pride asked staring at the other sin with his hollow eyes.
"Well, my dear…" Envy said walking towards the front door. "We are here to meet someone. Actually, to kill a certain person." Envy's talk didn't surprise Pride. They had killed many humans, without Pride even knowing a reason for it.
Then, the door opened.
Pride watched, as a boy with short dirty blonde hair came outside. He seemed to freak out when he saw Envy and started yelling something like 'where is he!? What have you done!?'.
"Shut up" Envy grunted when Al tried to punch him. He grabbed his hand and pushed him toward Pride.
Alphonse looked at him, unable to understand what he saw. Everything, golden hair, amethyst eyes, skin colour…
Edward?
"ED!?" Al shouted and grabbed Pride from shoulders. "Ed! Brother! Is it really you?! Thank god, you're alive!" Pride was confused. Who the hell was this boy? Why was he shouting so much? Pride's ears hurt already…
"Who…are…you?"
Boy's eyes widened and his whole body froze, like Pride's question had hurt him. What was wrong with asking who he was? Especially when he seemed distantly familiar . Pride tried to reach for the memory, but it was locked into depths of his mind…
Envy burst laughing. What's so funny? Pride wondered. the boy fell to his knees in front of him. "You see?" Envy jeered. "He is gone."
Then he became more serious and said "Kill him."
Now Pride was even more confused.
"Envy..why…?"
"JUST KILL HIM ALREADY!!"
A scythe appeared to Pride's hand. Envy smirked. "Now that's more like it…"
Pride Lifted the weapon, and was just about to drop it and wield through Alphonses neck, when the boy turned his head to him. Their eyes met, and something made Pride stop. Usually victims just screamed and begged to spare their lives or tried to escape… This boy just stared at him, tears running from his eyes, but still he smiled.
"I am happy to see you again.." Strange boy whispered. Now Pride completely froze, thoughts striking his mind.
Did he say again? Why is he so oddly familiar? Why I can't remember…
"You're so useless… " Envy said. he transformed his hand into a gun and shot.
The bullet flew through Al's throat, killing him instantly. Pride watched as his eyes lost their spark, and he fell to the ground, blood spilling from his neck and mouth.
An image came to his mind. A boy, looking exactly like this one, and an another man with raven coloured hair and blue outfit, lying in a pool of blood….
Then the picture became blurry, and disappeared. Somehow, it hurt to remember that, even though Pride didn't know what the memory meant…
Envy walked to Alkphonse's body, and grabbed a tug of his hair, lifting his head up.
"Can I ask you a question?"
Pride stayed quiet. He really didn't know what to think about anymore.
"Do you have any brothers, Pride?"
"Wha…?" Pride was really surprised. That was not something Envy would ask…
"If you don't count me or Lust or the others, do you have any real brothers?"
"Well…no…"
When he said this, Envy released his hold on Al and his head smashed to the ground, making a disgusting sound. Then he started laughing maniacally.
"DID YOU HEAR THAT?!" He started kicking the body.
"HE SAID HE DOESN'T HAVE A BROTHER, YOU SCUM!!"
He seemed to be talking to the dead boy. Why? Pride thought. It no use, he's dead already…
When Envy finally stopped laughing, Pride had to ask him.
"What…is…going…on?"
Envy smirked and walked to him. "En…vy?" "Don't bother with it, let's get going!" he said and walked past Pride.
"The noise must have awakened people, They will be here soon."
Pride took a last glance to the boy on the ground and then followed Envy.
But he couldn't stop thinking
Could the boy have been an evidence to his existence..?
