#handpickedriot / Alphonse Elric

[fullmctal]

You're sixteen at the point where you realize some things can't be help or controlled . SIXTEEN when you realize no matter what you pretend and pray to be, you're not the fullmetal individual you played into, but merely human . Something so weak, yet so strong. With the purpose and ideology to change their mark on the world into a threading of gold to loop forth and be retold instead of a smudge of red that continuously tried to be ebbed and wiped away - but no matter how hard you tried to scrub and wipe away at your own misfortunes , they stay following you like a fed stray .

EVERYWHERE YOU GO people seem inclined in reminding you of the misfortunes of your past ... You're merely a child who had calamity etched into veins .

You mullover the concept that this was your punishment for a youth of foolishness - science was your solace where the church and promises of eternal life for those beyond the grave fell short , for what cruel lord would take a mother of two small children ? A CRUEL ONE . one that HATED his children -

Fumbling with a watch long since melded shut , thumb brushing across the clasp - the oath of your life no longer being your own . YOU were no longer a HUMAN , you were a weapon .

Your silence is interrupted , concentration of internalized contemplation shattered as your eyes drift over to the companion that had taken notice of your charismatically silent demeanor - his existence brings another melancholic twist in your chest , a bitter reminder of your SINS .

" I can't believe its been so long .. "

It's all you can say really , your throat tightens up before words can betray on a usually gilded tongue . So instead you SHOVE your pocket watch back into your coat, head tilting back to gaze upon the roof of the rattling train heading nowhere .

" no need to dwell in the past though , eh Al ? Keep moving forwards . "

❛   company .   silently  sit  with  my  muse  to  comfort  them. // @handpickedriot ( alphonse )

the worst feeling in the world, is worry.

yet, all her life, that's all she's ever done. first it was about her parents, then about being alone, her gran-- and now it was two boys that lived next door, well, at least-- at one time they did.

edward and alphonse elric, besides her grandmother pinako were the only family that winry had left, and they weren't even related by blood.

ed was.. later than usual. winry didn't like it. besides, if he overdid it again, that meant she was going to have to fix his arm for the upteenth time-- something else that she wasn't very happy about. but, at least al was here to help keep her from getting too angry and marching off to find him herself.

when al hugs her, winry sighs. with the heavy exhale comes all her frustrations. at least she could always rely on al.

" at least you don't make me worry. you're brother, though? he's got another thing coming when he gets back. gran put a plate out for him and everything. "

“Is this as hard as it gets?” she asked, she was tired. She felt so tired. She didn’t know how to go on. She didn’t know how Al and Ed kept going on. “'Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough.” Maybe if they could she could. Maybe if they could she had to.

@handpickedriot​ gets mom!riza !

"Ah, Alphonse-kun.” The young boy is greeted with a kind smile. Riza would often see the Elric brothers at Headquarters, though not one without the other. She wonders if everything is alright, or if the two merely got separated; if the latter, Riza will happily keep him company. The Colonel’s paperwork could wait for a little longer. “Are you here alone today?  That’s unusual.”

❝ you’re a rare person, alphonse. ❞ -- raven

RARE. that was certainly a word for it     devoid of a positive or negative connoation, just... different. he was lucky that those close to him treated him as any regular human, but alphonse knew that didn’t mean it was true. his circumstances were unusual, and though he denied it as to not worry others, he felt empty at times.

he reckoned that was what raven was referring to, anyway. she had a way with words, often saying more than what’s on the surface.

“i suppose i am.” alphonse nods in agreement, his armored head making a light clanking sound when it moves. “i’ve only met a few people who are like me.” and even then, the other attached souls didn’t share his experiences exactly.

“i don’t think it’s a bad thing. ” he hopes she can hear the light smile in his voice. “ i won’t deny this body comes with inconveniences, but... i’ve learned to accept it.”
