[The feed clicks up in the dark, and Alphonse seems to be outside, sitting by the riverbank. The moon is full enough to see by, and there's the sound of rushing water, very nearby. He smiles just barely, and when he breathes, his breath fogs in the air. Thankfully he's dressed in a warm sweater, although he shivers now and again. Though it's hard

Al...Al.

Look. She loves you...I'm sure of it, and I know you are, too. She's not going to love you any less.

Tell her. That's what I think. Just sit down and tell her.

[Voice; Private]

[bloodseal_soul]

I'm scared. I'm scared of her walking away. I'm scared of seeing in her eyes what I saw in Ed's.

... she thinks I'm wonderful and she thinks the world of me... and I'm so scared. I don't want to break that up for her. I don't want her to think I'm bad or that she screwed up somehow...

... I'm scared, Ollie.

Ed walked away from me... when he found out. He walked away. He didn't come back for a long time, but I saw something in his eyes, I--

[Al's voice breaks.]

... I never want to see that with her... what... what if she doesn't love me anymore...?

Alphonse. She en't going to stop loving you. Even if she needs to think on it for a little while, she en't going to leave.

Would it help if you had someone there, with you? I

I could do that, you know. I'll stand there with you, you need it. Okay?

She loves you, Alphonse. There en't nothing that is gunna change that, okay?

Nothing.

[Voice; Private]

[bloodseal_soul]

... N-no. I want to be alone, right now.

Ollie... thank you. That means a lot.

Doesn't stop me from being scared to death.

[feline_sonata]

Okay.

I mean it.

I...Al. Being scared, that's one thing. But, well. Sometimes, you gotta get past it.

I mean, I

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[bloodseal_soul]

... you...?

[Text//Private//Unhackable]

[feline_sonata]

I like someone, too.

And I'm scared as all get out.

But I gotta say something...I know I gotta.

[bloodseal_soul]

... Ollie... who...?

[Text//Private//Unhackable]

[feline_sonata]

Doesn't matter. Just saying...it's worse, hiding it away.

((ooc: Hypocrite!Ollie. <3))

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[bloodseal_soul]

... it feels worse, yeah.

[Text//Private//Unhackable]

[feline_sonata]

As long as you don't say anything, then you're never going to be able to talk about any of it, right? Just have to hide all of it...and that's not any good.

How long can you keep lying until you slip and she finds out, anyway? Isn't it better to say something now?

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[bloodseal_soul]

... I just don't know how I'm going to do it.

[Text//Private//Unhackable]

[feline_sonata]

You sit down with her, and you look her in the face, and you tell her.

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[bloodseal_soul]

...

[Al laughs softly, and there's a rustling sound.]

You really think I can do it?

[Text//Private//Unhackable]

[feline_sonata]

You beat the Joker.

You can do anything, Al.

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[bloodseal_soul]

... thank you.
