Title: The Truth of a Sin

Author: Skeren Dreamera

Note: To be clear on something one of my groups isn't realizing. I count Envy as an Elric! Thanks! This chapter is devoted to the more traditional Elricesters in the audience though. Sorry for the delay people, I had a plot hiccup when I tried to do way too many things too soon in the story. Oh yes, and in case anyone gets it into their head to yell at me, I'd like to ask you all just which of the seven sins Al happens to be. C'mon, you know you know. And um... I thought I sorta kinda HTMLed this a while ago... The next chapter should be up much faster!!!
Chapter three

Alphonse started his attentions not long after Edward's inelegant descent into unconsciousness. Shaking his head with an affectionate smile over how exhausted his brother clearly was, he moved his hands up and started to pick the barely solid braid apart. He took his time, first just unfolding the stands, then finger combing them, far too entranced by being able to just feel what he was doing to care that he was taking far more time than was even partially required for his chosen task. It was only when he managed to break himself from the spell he'd placed on himself while combing that he realized he needed to get his brother to bed. Sighing, he untangled himself from the impressive grip to get to his feet.

The next second, he found himself flattened to the floor, and he really couldn't appreciate the brief flare of pain that streaked over his back as he hit the floor. He ignored it though when he heard a quasi-urgent plea from his brother, who he could have sworn was dead asleep a few seconds before. "Don't go!"

"No Niisan, I'm not going anywhere, I promise." Pushing himself up with an elbow, he ran his unused hand over his brother's upper back, trying to soothe him. He only then realized that it had been purely instinct that had led to the tackle, as the larger blonde was still asleep. "Niisan..." He shook his head on a sigh. "Let's get you into bed, okay?"

An affirmative mumble followed the words, and it was a second later that had Edward's fingers almost fused to his brother's shirt, he was holding it so tight. It was only then that it really struck him how cruel of him it had been to not consider the why of the clingyness he'd been on the receiving end of earlier. They'd never been separated like that before. Anytime they'd had to be apart, it had been somewhat brief, and they'd always known where the other was. This time, neither of them had known where Alphonse had been shuffled off to while Ed was gone.

Nudging his brother a few times so that he could move, Alphonse got them both up off the floor, using the strength he'd discovered he possessed just days after Envy had drawn him into awareness. It had taken pieces of he red stone to bring his senses to a bearable level to him, unfortunately. It was only once he was on his feet that he realized his brother was cradled in his arms, and his heart stuttered in pained memory. How many times had he had to carry his brother like this once he got hurt? Why couldn't it have ever been fun for the other blond? He resolved that he'd try to find a way around his brother's wariness in showing weakness at that point. He needed to fix those memories with something nicer.

He had just settled his brother against the covers when he considered the tangle of cloth Edward was caught in, completely ignoring the fact that he was clinging in his sleep. Running his gaze over him, he noted that he was without his coat, so he wouldn't have to struggle with that. But he was wearing everything else, right down to those boots of his.
"You really do overdress Niisan." A faint smile accompanied the words.
Sighing, the smaller brother twisted around a little, managing to change the grip on him so he could take off the shoes. Once he accomplished that task, he dealt with the socks. He considered going for the gloves next, but changed his mind, going for the overshirt instead. Things continued on in this manner, with a rather large amount of rearranging, until Alphonse had successfully rid his elder brother of the clothes he'd been wearing. Even the gloves, though they ended up being the last things off.

Of course, once he got his brother nude, he realized that really hadn't been his intention in the first place at all. Unable to cover the other blond up without taking a good look at him for the first time in many years, he straddled his thighs, tracing a couple scars with his fingertips before just resting his palm over the sleeping teen's heart. He was at a loss as to how he'd failed to see the scars. He'd known they were there, of course, how could he not? But he hadn't seen them. He hadn't recognized that his brother had aged either, losing some of the roundness of his face into a promise of masculine beauty. That made Alphonse blink a few times in confusion by itself, and he shook his head.

"Did you hide from me Niisan? Is that why I never managed to notice these things?" He spread his fingers, resting his other palm along his sibling's ribs as he stared at him, just glad he had the sensation of touch again. "Or was it me? Had I really become that lifeless?"

There wasn't any answer from the sleeping teen, and Alphonse just shook his head, sighing softly as he lifted his hands. "No, I wouldn't ask you that. You'd never give me a straight answer anyway." Pressing his fingers together lightly, a ripple of energy passed over him, leaving him bare of his own attire without the need to struggle with boots. "Goodnight Niisan."
Shifting to the side, the younger pulled the blanket across them, resting his ear over his brother's heart before finally drifting off to sleep as well. As much as he'd become fond of Envy, he hadn't felt right sleeping properly without Edward near him. Now that he was there again, he could let himself indulge.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Edward woke well into the next morning, and his initial reaction was to snuggle back into the comforting warmth that enveloped him. The next thought was a deep confusion as to where the hell the sensation was coming from. For years he'd either been comforted, or warm, not both. His brother had tried, but neither had wanted to risk scalding Edward to cuddle comfortably when he was upset. Thoughts of Alphonse brought the memory of the previous night, day...? He wasn't sure which anymore, but he remembered he was there, and he snuggled back against the bare form plastered to his side.

Wait. It only took that long for him to realize that they were both very naked. He couldn't begin to understand what had led to them being so, and the next following thought was the one that he needed to go to the bathroom because, brother or not, he was getting a hard on. It made him keenly uncomfortable, and he nearly cursed when he realized that Alphonse had pinned him in place in his sleep.

He didn't want to wake him, but his brother did not need to find out about his buried feelings in this manner. Lowering his voice to a mortified whisper, Edward nudged his shorter sibling. "Al? Al, I need to get up."

The reaction he got in reply wasn't at all the one Edward had been counting on, unfortunately. He rolled over, resting his leg over his brother's, knee folded up so that he was pressing against the current cause of the problem ever so lightly. The elder might have been able to deal with that, but then Al decided to announce he was awake with a sleepy murmur. "Hmm Niisan, sleep well?"

"Al?" Edward inched away, stopping just shy of what could be called squirming. He didn't have the heart to just push his brother off of him so he could make a break from the area. Instead he settled on seeking an answer to his earlier confusion. "Why'm I naked?"

Alphonse huffed softly and raised his head, regarding his sibling for a long moment. "Because I undressed you. You looked like you hadn't gotten a proper rest since I last saw you." He shrugged a little, sliding his leg up a little as he cracked his currently violet eyes open a little so he could start tracing over Edward's scars again, curious over the texture of the skin.

Edward immediately made a slightly strangled sound in his throat and grabbed his brother's wrist, inwardly certain that the other blond was unaware of his reactions, even if he was practically laying on top of him. He simply didn't think that Alphonse had ever observed his reactions closely enough that he knew what he was doing to him. "Al, don't do that, okay?"

A blink of vaguely puzzled eyes was the immediate reply as Alphonse tried to work out just why he was being protested. He hadn't minded his touch before he passed out, so it couldn't be the attention itself that bothered him. Maybe it was the fact it was making him react? He hadn't really expected it to do anything else... He lifted his head. "I want to touch you."

The elder nearly whimpered at the faintly eager undertone in his brother's voice and dearly hoped it was just enthusiasm in having his senses back. It was simply too early for him to deal with this. He tightened his fingers a fraction. "No, you don't. Not right now anyway, really."

Alphonse dropped his head back to his brother's shoulder with a sweet smile. "Niisan, you can be so silly, you know that? If my touch is bothering you, just tell me."

Edward's breath picked up as the words had been followed with a little shift in his brother's position that applied a firm pressure to his aroused state. "I... no... I just..." He couldn't focus on his composure anymore if he was going to talk, so he just closed his eyes, wishing Al would stop squirming. It was making it really hard to be a good brother here. "I shouldn't let you."

Alphonse finally figured out what had Edward so worked up. If he'd wanted him to stop it, he would have done something to stop him from teasing him that way, but he hadn't. So that meant he was feeling guilty for being interested. He could understand that. He felt about the same after he'd woken up, but he'd decided it only mattered if his elder brother wasn't interested at all. Apparently that wasn't the current case.

Sliding his hand out of the slackened grip, Alphonse decided to make himself clear, flicking his fingers over a nipple to get his full attention again. He wasn't disappointed, considering how his eyes flew open, the younger of the pair had to say that worked very nicely. Or, he might have if he hadn't decided to make sure he wasn't reading this all wrong and kissed his brother.

Edward immediately tensed, completely frozen in place. It was only after a long moment of stillness between the two that he finally returned the kiss, unable to puzzle out why his younger brother wanted to kiss him in the first place, his own feelings aside. He couldn't protest being treated in a manner he'd rather wanted to be though, so he simply brought his hand up, resting it lightly at the base of his brother's neck until he pulled back up for air, their eyes meeting.

The eyes flickered back to the bronze they'd been when he'd first arrived. "Niisan, would you let me touch you? I missed so much about you without my senses... I want to relearn you, let me, please?"

Edward nearly faltered under the plea in that gaze, but he couldn't just let it go. The kiss had served as a wake up call, and the words had only confirmed his worries that the other boy just wanted to do everything all at once in completely the wrong direction to reconnect. "Al, you can't mean that. Just think about it, okay? I'm your brother. You can't really want to do something like that with me, can you?"

"I know who you are Niisan." He leaned closer, unfazed as he sensed that his brother didn't really disagree. He had no idea how he knew, but it was easy for him to see. He just breathed in the scent of citrus and metal that had lingered even before their accident. He'd once thought Winry should have smelled of metal, but that had always been something of his brother. "I want to memorize you in every way I possibly can. That... It doesn't disgust you, does it?"

Uncertain how to handle the spiral of events that led to the current situation, Edward had to shake his head in the negative. He ran his fingers over the smooth skin of his brother's upper back, only by luck skipping past the marks, unaware of the reaction they would have earned him. "No, it doesn't. I just don't understand." He bit his lip as guilt rose in him. He should have done this for Al. He should have made him flesh and blood again.

"It's because I love you. I don't need any other reasons." He smiled a little, shaking his head over the oddity that was his brother as he rested another tender kiss on his lips before pulling away. "But, I think I'll give you a chance to get used to the idea, okay? Come on, you need a shower. I can tell you haven't had one in at least two weeks."

Alphonse had already dragged him halfway out of bed before Ed realized what was going on now, and he couldn't help the slow smile that made it's way across his face. Whatever else was going on, and no matter what had changed, this person was still his baby brother. After all, it's not like anyone else could flip like that. Not even he could go from seductive to demanding someone bathe in less than a minute. Any worries he'd had before were laid to rest at that point. "I'm hungry too."

We'll get food after you get cleaned up, come on." He dragged his sibling along, pretending to ignore the almost goofy smile of happiness that had made its way across his brother's face. He knew why he was smiling like that after all. It wasn't all some dream. He'd put every effort into making them both realize that. For instance, as soon as his brother had been cleaned and fed, he was going to soundly beat him in a sparring match. He needed the practice in this new body anyway.
