Alfons is not happy with the Nexus today. Getting turned into a girl by a water balloon was not high on his list of things to go through ever.
And now he has to go see Edward. God, embarrassing. At least Riza comforted him a bit.
As they enter the apartment, he turns to Riza and speaks with considerable relief. "At least we didn't run into Greed

Curious.
He turns his head, trying to see into the apartment from his place on the patio- the screen door is the only thing separating him from the inside, which, he realizes, is probably the only reason he can hear anything in there at all. After a moment, he grumbles, conceeding defeat on the task and uncurls himself from his chair, slipping inside.
"Riza?" he calls, wondering who on earth she would've been bringing back to the apartment. Maybe a new resident?
Oh, Ed, if only you knew.

"What's going on?" He looks between the two of them. Oh, Alfons. Then who had he heard..?
God help the poor boy, he's not even noticing at first that Alfons has changed genders.

He starts to wander off to his room, wanting to get out of his soggy garments, and take a minute to figure out why his mood took a nosedive from vaguely annoyed to gloom in 2 seconds flat.

Riza paused. "Jean's wheelchair is now sentient, for example, and hitting on people."

And then he promptly gives himself whiplash at Riza's next statement, staring at her. "... his wheelchair?!"

Edward's hand makes Alfons tense, and he's admittedly tempted to pull away, shut his mouth, and hide in a corner until this weirdness is gone. The only thing that holds him there is the worry in Edward's voice, which helps to yank him out of the unpleasant memories he was swimming in at the sight of Edward.
He caves when he looks over at Edward, unfolding from his uncomfortable position and practically throwing himself onto Edward, wrapping his arms around him and burying his face against the older man's neck. He's not sniffling. YOU HEARD NOTHING. "S'just bad memories n'm'sorry, I remembered 'n... n'... y'shouldn't worry." Not sniffle. "S'silly."

"Hey," he whispers, kissing the other man's temple lightly, "hey, it's okay. Talk to me? What's wrong? What bad memories?"
Edward is now more than a little worried. And also vaguely wondering if there's someone he has to beat up for hurting Alfons. Aw, how cute. He's protective.

We're not even gonna discuss the girl thing, dammit.
"Bad, jus'- bad person, bad things. With'em. Don'wanna remember." Mumble mumble NOT SNIFFLES. Well, Edward, if you were wondering if you'd have to hurt somebody, he probably confirmed it for you.

"Alfons?" He's keeping his voice quiet, trying to calm the other man as much as he can. "Talk to me? Please? I can't fix anything if I don't know what's going on."
He's keeping from balling his hands into fists. He's tempted to figure out how to get back to Munich just so he can go beat someone up. Man, that makes two people he has to beat up if he can ever find the portal home. Roy and then whoever this 'bad person' is.
He needs to start keeping a list.
