38th Transmutation » [Voice; Filtered to Alphonse]

[The PCD clicks on, and Edward's voice comes through. It's low and solid, though it still has a very uneven edge to it. It's way too well controlled.]

You thought I wouldn't find out, didn't you?

[OOC: Takes place due to this, this, and ultimately, this.]

Why did you do it?

It was a chance at saving Near.

I know, I didn't think it through very well, okay? There wasn't time.

Time or not, you should've let me handle it!

All our lives, I've let you handle everything. You had to live with everything, take it all on your shoulders.

It's about time I did something that you never had to deal with. I know the memories it'd bring up.

I don't want to see you cry anymore.

Al, goddamn it. I can handle it, you don't have to cover for me!

I know this brought memories up for you too! It didn't really make a difference which one of us transmuted the body on that account, did it?

It's better if only one of us has to deal with all the burdens, rather than the both of us. I don't want it to be you.

I know you can, it's not whether or not you can handle it, it's that I didn't want you to have to.

No, it didn't. But what happened, happened. And if this works... I don't mind some bad memories, goodness knows we have enough of them. It's collateral damage, but it's worth it to me.

We're both so dumb sometimes, aren't we?

[Al sighs softly.]

... what do you say we stop trying to protect each other and just... be a team, just like how we always are?

From now on, let's promise to do things like this together, so... so we can keep each other safe. We're a team, and since we came here... we've been forgetting that.

A lot.

I don't want to leave you behind anymore.

...You're right, we have been forgetting that.
That sounds good. I can do that. Even if you'll always come first to me, little brother.

[There's a momentary pause.]

Deal.

[ooc: Strikes so gone.]

Deal.

... I'm sorry that I didn't have you help. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you right away I was okay, after I did it. I should have.

I still can't believe I did it.

Don't worry about it - just let me know next time, alright? You know I worry like an idiot.

I'm just glad you're okay, Al. That's all I want for you.

It must have felt so weird, and brought up a lot of bad memories, huh?

I promise I will.

... for a minute there, I was scared I'd done it wrong, and that I didn't remove the soul element from the array. I was so afraid those Gates were going to open up again.
