Brother, are you coming up for dinner? You can't hide yourself away forever -- gosh I need to clean this room --

[Silence, followed by a shattering sound.]

Brother...?

...

... E-Ed...?

[A soft, breathless, painful-sounding sob.]

I-I couldn't... no...

Y-YOU JERK, YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER LET US GET SEPARATED! YOU SAID WE'D LEAVE TOGETHER, WE'D ( Read more... )

[In practically a matter of seconds, Negi is there; he knew where Ed's room was, he had seen him going in and out of it a few times. He's breathing heavily, having run the whole way home. It was like a bad flashback from a couple of months before. Except it wasn't him this time. It was Al.]

A-Al--!

[By the time Negi gets there, Al's leaned up against the side of the dresser, legs to his chest, trying to calm himself down. It's probably frightening for the boy to see -- his older brother and role model breaking down so utterly and completely. He normally holds himself back around Negi for the boy's sake.]

N-No, I can... I... can... the Animus could... I could open the --

H-he could come back if I...

[Probably? Try absolutely. Negi has to force himself to move, force himself to not freeze up. Al looks so...so broken. He wonders briefly if maybe this is what he was like when Asuna left, but no. This isn't the time for that.

Willing himself to move, Negi falls to his knees in front of Al, wrapping his arms around his older brother tightly. Al needed to be grounded; if Negi couldn't do that...there was no telling what might happen. He could have a nervous breakdown, or worse.]

No, no, Al, don't try anything rash...please...j-just calm yourself down...!

[Offline] bloodseal_soul October 7 2009, 05:19:03 UTC

I-I don't... wanna calm down, there is no calming down, h-he...

He'sgonehe'sdeadIcan't--

[He takes a few painful-sounding breaths, and he holds onto Negi's sleeve for a moment before going silent. He's still breathing, but it's... a little easier now. It's like he's calming himself down.]

...

C-Can you get Mom...?

[Oh god. Alphonse... He's so angry right now. Angry at a few things. Angry at Edward; he left. Angry at Alphonse for letting himself freak out. Angry at himself, for... for letting Al get so close to him.

If he hadn't, he would never feel this angry. This upset... He wants to hurt someone. Something. Maybe Edward. He wants, despite himself, to console Alphonse. Somehow.]

[....Fuck it. He's coming over.

Without word, he'll show up soundlessly at the door to Ed's room, panting softly, one hand in his pocket, fingering his inhaler just in case.. Al is... a mess. But what can he do...?]

A-Alphonse...

bloodseal_soul October 7 2009, 05:23:51 UTC

[... even Ciel came. He can't summon the energy to smile, or to stop the tears. Everything seems like it's in a fog.]

... h-hey.

sauceytomato October 7 2009, 05:07:11 UTC

Al?!

bloodseal_soul October 7 2009, 05:10:52 UTC

[It honestly seems like something's snapped. No answer, just him struggling to breathe.]

sauceytomato October 7 2009, 05:16:47 UTC

Do you want me to come over?

bloodseal_soul October 7 2009, 05:20:36 UTC

[After several minutes, Al manages a reply. He sounds much calmer now, eerily so, as if he's detaching himself forcibly. His voice is very soft and thin.]

No, thank you. I'm going to spend some time with my mother right now.

...Elric.

bloodseal_soul October 7 2009, 05:22:30 UTC

[It takes quite some time for Al to reply, and by that time, it's text.]

We're dealing with it. Please don't worry.

iceandivory October 7 2009, 05:29:55 UTC

[He doesn't like it, but he's not gonna say anything else.]

[She came to see if he was alright but there were already people there... She's only been here for a short time and Al's been here for so long. They must be people he's known longer. It's probably better they're there. Still, she can't just sit by, not after he's done so much for her already so she sends a simple message.]

Al... You're not alone, okay? Don't forget that. You're not alone, no matter what happens.

[Voice] bloodseal_soul October 7 2009, 05:27:26 UTC

[It's probably better that she didn't come in, Al's not too keen on a lot of people right now. Somehow... he can appreciate that she understood that, and she probably has no idea how much these simple words mean to him. It's what he most needed to hear. His reply comes later that night.]

... sorry you had to see me like that.

[Voice] purifyingspirit October 7 2009, 05:34:37 UTC

Hey, we made a deal, remember? [There's a smile to her tone.] I cry all over you, you cry all over me. I'd say we're even now.

I'm glad you have so many people who care about you here, especially your mother. And you've probably heard this a bunch of times tonight, but my door's always open if you want to talk. I know what it's like to... well, you know. Sota.

[Voice] bloodseal_soul October 7 2009, 05:39:34 UTC

We did... but I never wanted...

Th-thank you.
