[ log: alphonse + edward ]

[alkahestic]

[ Derp, hanging out in his (and Ed's?) apartment and reading through a book on advanced weather alchemy. He's sitting on the couch with a cup of tea nearby and a few other books or journals sitting around him. Some are marked and some have pens holding places, splotches of ink, and scribbled notes in the margins

[The door slams shut behind him as Ed stalks in, a scowl on his face. The reason for the cloud over the alchemist's head is fairly obvious; his hair hangs limp and wet around his face, his coat is soaked through. He has a briefcase in his hand, which he places carefully to the side, then he peels his coat off and drops it to the floor, before plopping himself onto the couch beside Al.]

Hey, whatcha reading, Al?

[Leaning over, he steals a peek at the open book and makes a face. He's none too taken with the subject of weather at the moment. Instead, he turns his attention to the cup of tea nearby, and with an impish smirk, he attempts to sneak it away, wrapping his cold fingers around the mug and soaking in its warmth.]

[alkahestic]

Alchemical weather adjust-

[ Seeing his drenched brother, a slight smile forms on his lips that he tries to hide behind his book. His gaze follows Ed as he moves farther into the room and sets down his book in order to help his brother. That is until Ed tries to steal away his tea. ]

Hey-! Brother, that's mine!

[ He reaches out to grab at Ed's hands, making a face that matches Ed's first expression before leaning closer. Then, he gives a similar impish grin. ]

Want me to make some more?

[aphorismic]

[Ed's smirk widens into a teasing grin.]

I guess you'll have to, 'cause this one's mine now! Anyway, my hands are freezing, see?

[He moves his metal hand away from the mug and touches the tips of his fingers lightly against Al's cheek.]

This tea is just the thing to warm them up again.

[He moves his fingers from Al's cheek to a stray lock of hair, playing absently with it as he talks.]

Unless you-

[KA-THUNK! Ed freezes as his briefcase falls to its side, squirms, and then starts to mewl. A moment later, a striped and furry face appears out the top.]

[alkahestic]

Hey!

[ He gives another shout and then a face as Ed's metal hand brushes his cheek. It makes him shiver and he goes a bit cross eyed looking at it. And as Ed toys with his hair, he prepares to make a retort, only for it to be cut off by the sound of his brother's briefcase falling. ]

Huh? Ah-!

[ Guess who's now scrambling out of his seat to scoop up the kitten? Cue TAKEHOME mode! ]

Brother, when did you?
