Warning: Elricest and angst alert 
Summary: Desire knows no boundaries.
A/N: I am blaming evilchuckles  and vexed_wench for my muse's sudden interest in Elricest. 

I should be asleep. It is well past the witching hour and I should not be watching you...

...yet I am.

Even when you didn't have a physical body. Soul trapped in unfeeling armor, I watched you. You were everything I lived for. If not for the possibility of your salvation, I would have let the gate take me too. But I fought it. I fought the cold grip of forever's twilight to save you. For you are all that I live for...

...have ever lived for.

Nothing, not even my own life could measure up to all that is you. Al. Alphonse. My brother. What I want for you, is any and everything that eternity has longed for. If it takes my soul, my very existence, to give it to you, then that’s what shall be.

You, always the giver, the selfless one, the sacrifice...

...I don’t deserve you...but I pray to a God that I don’t believe in, to have you.

The Wait

Summary: He'll wait forever if need be.

You came crashing back into my life from the dead.

Everyone kept telling me to accept that you were gone and eventually I did. No more sunlit eyes, no more golden hair. My days were nothing more than scheduled tasks and a list of necessities I barely kept up with to stay functioning.

...I needed you.

I sat in a cold shack up north, a shell of the man I used to be, then I had a dream. I dreamed you needed me...wanted me and I started making the moves everyone had begged me to make to clear my name. Before I knew it, I was back in Central.

Still not the man I was, but closer...ever so closer.

Days rolled into weeks, into months. I did what I was told but I never, never gave up the hope they wanted me to forfeit. My soul would not...could not, be at peace or at rest without yours. We pledged eternity and goddammit that is what we meant. You said you wouldn’t leave me and I vowed the same.

So when you came crashing back into my life, all gunfire and flying machines I was not surprised. You always did know how to make an entrance.

...it was your exit I could not abide by.

You whispered those three words to me. Before telling me to close the gate and you walked away once more. You left with the weight of two worlds on your shoulders and my heart.

I know you are out there now.

All I have to do is wait.
