Just Like I was

Germany, 1921

It had been a few months since Edward had tried to bring Alphonse back and ended up on this side of the gate. He had adjusted to his new prosthetic limbs well, and even though I knew he didn't like me that much he had been living with me.

It was a typical morning, but he still wasn't up. I quietly went into his room to see if he was still asleep. Sure enough he was all curled up on the bed still sleeping. I sighed and walked over to him.

"Edward"

I gave him a few pokes.

"Hnnng...."

"It's 9:30, time to get up"

"I don't wanna...." he groaned.

Without opening his eyes he reached over for the covers and rolled over.

"Come back in an hour"

Then he pulled the covers over his head. I sighed. He was usually like this in the morning, but I knew how to get him out of bed.

"More coffee for me then"

As soon as I said that he kicked off the covers and sat up.

"Fine I'll get up"

Then he trudged to the bathroom loudly because of his prosthetics. It always seemed to work, and I wondered if Alphonse used a similar method. Then I remembered that I was woken up in a similar way.

"Hey, 23*"

I felt myself being poked awake so I groaned.

"It's 6:30, time to get up"

"I don't wanna...." I whined.

I rolled over away from him and grabbed the covers.

"Come back later"

Then I pulled them over my head hoping he would go away. I heard a sigh and footsteps walking away.

"Well alright but master's not gonna be happy"

The thought of that got me out of bed.

"I'll right I'm up!"

Back then I wondered if there was going to be a time when I would ever get to sleep in...

Author's Notes

Yeah I just kind of thought of this. Ed seems like the person who doesn't get up 'til noon, and in the manga Hoenheim says that Ed's like him when he was young. So this came out with a little bit of manga verse, and I just guessed about the date then. Anyway please review, and no flames!
