<”I don’t like them!”> Alphonse said in fearful distaste as he peered from behind the brick wall, ducking back slightly as a loud metal box came rolling past. Its lights blinded them both but Edward did nothing for a moment but stare after it and the hair on the back of his neck stood on end.
<”Me neither.”> Edward muttered in a low whisper, his own head peering over the top of his mates as they looked out into the road.
The whole surrounding area made Alphonse feel uncertain, scared almost. As he retrieved backwards he snaked his hands around his mate’s small form and held him tight, burying his nose into the soft red pelt.
<”Let’s leave the metal things, okie? Let me braid your hair again, it’s all coming lose.”> The young Alphonse crept his hands up to Edwards less than gold hair and started to fiddle with it, a happy contented smile spread along his face as he did so. However, his hands where swatted away and Edward gave an agitated growl.
<”Niss-san? What’s wrong?”> Alphonse asked, suddenly biting down on his bottom lip before Edward turned around and pushed him a little into the alley way that they had been hiding in. He gave a smile and his own little chirp, telling his mate not to worry so much.
<”I just don’t want you near those things. It’s safer back here, okie.”> That was Edwards’s mission in life, to protect his mate and those metal boxes were not going to take him away, not on his watch! Alphonse gave a happy little noise back and nuzzled his nose with its mate before pulling him down into their make shift den.
<”Do you think there are enough blankets?>” Alphonse asked as he started to paw around, peering around at their little nest he had so happily made earlier as Edward had sat back and watched.
<”One more couldn’t hurt.”> Edward replied with a smile as he crouched in the mouth of the den. It had been made by bringing old crates together, balancing them in on each other so they wouldn’t have an accidental cave in. Edward watched as his little brassy haired mate shuffled himself around to make enough room before clapping his hands together. He pressed them down into the bedding and when that recognisable crack came, a new blanket lay there. Alphonse looked very pleased with himself as he started to make the nest just the way he liked it whilst Edwards’s eyes stayed on the spot where the alchemy had been used. The metallic smell of it barely registered with him, he could never smell it that strongly in the first place.
Edward couldn’t use alchemy. That was one of the first things he could remember.
----
As a kitten, Edward would sit back and watch as his father’s preformed Alchemy all the time. They created the softest pelts for both him and themselves and his nest was always his favourite place to snuggle up into and nap. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could never perform even the simplest alchemy. It made him feel inferior too his parents, ashamed that he couldn’t produce his own pelts and before he knew it, he had left them.
Barely twelve years old, Edward had wandered around the vastness of the world on his own, trying his hardest to perform alchemy that would make his father’s proud. It never happened though and the young blonde Elric had become so irate that he had almost throw himself in front of one of the metal boxes.
That was when his Alphonse had showed up, pushed him into the side of the road as the metal box had roared loudly at them both, screeching to hault a short distance away. The angry square thing had clipped the Alphonse’s side and before Edward realised what he was doing, he dragged the brassy haired Elric back and peered into his face.
That was when he found his mate.
----
It was so long ago but Edward would never let the memory go and snuggled further into Alphonse’s lap. He was not supposed to be thinking about the bad times and the brassy haired Elric made sure to distract him. He ran his fingers lovingly through his mate’s long blonde hair, getting out as many tangles and waves as he could. It felt different to other Elric hair, Alphonse knew that much. However, he smelt like an Elric and he knew he wanted to be his mate the first time he clapped eyes on him. There had been a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach and a desire to make him as many pelts as he could. The Alphonse was not in the least bit put off that his Edward could not perform Alchemy; he had enough for both of them, thank you very much!
Edward purred loudly at the grooming, pushing his head up into Alphonse’s hand, telling him to scratch behind his ears. It felt wonderful to be touched and that odd feeling came to his stomach again, made his cheeks pink with the feeling.
<”Al...?”> The young Elric murmured happily, that strained purr came to his throat again as his mate nuzzled the back of his neck, licking up the side of his ear. That feeling was new and made Edward tilt his head backwards to look at him, nothing but the sweetest smile on his face.
<“Nii-san?”> He asked in such the sweetest voice, as if he hadn’t just licked up the side of his mate’s ear in such a suggestive manner. It made Edward smirk and turn around, run fingers through his braid to feel that it was neat and Alphonse perfect again.
<”Go to sleep.>” Edward told him with a shake of his head and grin, snuggling down into the blankets next to his mate, pulling them clean over his head like a hiding kitten. Alphonse gave a happy little chirp and buried himself in the nest next to his Edward, nuzzling at his back and licking at his ears again.
<”Al!”> Edward said with warning in his voice this time but it didn’t stop Alphonse in his affectionate over petting and grooming. It wasn’t that Edward minded, no, quite the opposite. So much so that he leaned back into the nuzzling and licking, the brush of lips that spread to his jaw line. However, this was all very new to him and still made him feel a little uncomfortable. Vaguely he remembered his father doings something like this, but he had always been fast asleep first before they started, not that his little eyes hadn’t opened every now and again.
<”Yes Nii-san?”> Edward could practically hear the smirk in his mate’s voice as he nuzzled his chin again and started to wiggle his hands up and under his outer pelt. Alphonose’s finger’s caressed the smaller black pelt that rested underneath his red one and worked his way under that too. Edward turned slightly to face his mate who purred with such contentment. The fingers made Edward chirp in his own little way, coming out more like a giggle than anything else. That was until his mate pinched down on one of his little nipples, murmured in his ear about how desirable he was. The blonde haired Elric squirmed, his groin tightening in his lower pelts before he let out a little shudder, his throaty purr coming straight along with it.
Before he knew what was happening, Alphonse was stripping away his pelts, removing them so slowly that it was almost painful. He gave a frustrated mew but it only made the brassy haired Elric grin and nuzzle behind his ear again, trail kisses down to the base of his spine before he could swiftly remove the pelts that where wrapped around his legs. This made Edward squeak so loudly, he was sure he would hurt his mate’s ears. Nothing of the sort happened though as Alphonse pulled his mate closer, wriggling and practically tearing off his own pelts in the process.
<”I want to mate.>” Alphonse said in such a husky voice that Edward had a hard time trying to figure out whether he really had said something or simply grunted.
<”You smell so good.>” He continued, reaching his hand down Edwards’s chest, tweaking at his nipples before he moved lower still. Edward wiggled, the end of him was hard, throbbing and he could barely contain it anymore. He gave out a flustered cry as Alphonse rubbed his hand up his hardened cock; delivering slow strokes making him squirm on the spot. With his cheeks hot a flushed he felt himself thrust up into his mate’s hand, not really aware that he was doing it. This made Alphonse grin and wriggle himself away from Edward, trailing kisses and light hickeys down his slightly toned chest.
The brassy haired Elric moved himself so he was positioned between his mate’s legs, pushing his hands down on to his hips, purring all the while.
<”Al...Al Please.>” Edwards voice was breathy and pleading, his cheeks and nose burning from the heat of it all and that was when he felt it. Alphonse placed his warm mouth over Edwards throbbing cock, his head slowly bobbing up and doing, sucking, caressing. His tongue worked like Edward had never known before, making him pant in submission.
It felt like nothing Edward had ever experienced, making him twist and turn, pant with a look of submissive wonder on his face. It felt so good, the rhythm of his mate’s mouth and lips over his hard and aching cock and he gave a loud purr, thrusting upwards until he could feel that strange build up in the pit of his stomach.
<”Al...Mate...lover.>” He panted again, giving out his mews of excitement until he could take it no longer. He thrust upwards into Alphonse’s mouth and felt that pressure release himself; he writhed and shuddered underneath him before his mate quickly flipped him over to his belly, pulling him up onto his knees. There was barely enough time to even register that he had came and he looked down at himself, still hard and dripping. Alphonse’s body pressed up against him, wrapping arms back around before purring loudly into his ear, kissing his shoulder blades.
<”You smell ready to mate.”> The Alphonse purred, nibbling at Edwards ear lobes before rubbing his cheeks up against his jaw line.
<“I...I am.>” The Edward panted and then he felt his mates slick fingers inside him, making him shudder and thrust backwards before shaking his blonde mane. The braid had come loose but he didn’t care and grabbed up as many blankets underneath him as he could.
<”The...The oil...Fuck that feels good.” The Edward purred, rubbing his cheeks up and down on the soft blanket pelts that he had pushed up towards him chest, holding them for dear life as his Alphonse held onto him.
“...How...” he asked in a harsh whisper but his mate only nuzzled between his shoulder blades.
<“Transmuted it...when you weren’t looking.”> He said quite happily before taking a hold of his hips with his free hand, his left hand preoccupied. Alphonse inserted a third finger, stretching and pulling so easily with the slickness, made his Edward purr and rock his hips back. He shuddered, looking over his shoulder with red cheeks, eyelids heavy and he gave a soft pleading mew.
<”Just fuck me already!”> That pleading mew turned into a desperate growl and Alphonse quickly drew his hand away, causing his Edward to gasp with the sudden loss. It did not remain that way for much longer though as Alphonse had secured both his hands on his mate’s hips and let his own hardened cock rub at that oh so slick entrance. They both shuddered before he pressed himself into the tight virgin hole and Edward gave a shocked gasp before a low purr literally erupted from him.
Alphonse purred and shuddered, burying his face down in the curve of his mate’s shoulder blades, reaching around with a free hand to strake across Edwards throbbing cock. His thrusts where slow and deliberate, not wanting to hurt the other Elric.
Edward thought different and thrust his hips backwards, grinding more with such a deep and lust filled purr. His skin stood on end from the touches and strokes and his Alphonse pushed himself in deeper, the pair of them now panting from the sheer heat they had created. It was intense in the den, skin slapping against skin, their purrs high and loud but they had buried themselves so far back in the alley that no one really heard them.
It wasn’t long before that feeling built up in the pit of his stomach again, making him pant and purr loudly with submission. His hips ground back more, his Alphonse thrusting up into him, almost trying to bury his face into the sweat covered skin below him.
<”Ahh...Al! Fuck Al, it feels so good.”?> He felt that orgasm build up again, his cock now dripping with the need to release and then it happened. Their hips thrusted together once more and the pressure erupted, making Edward groan and shudder, collapsing down onto the heap of blankets he had around him. He purred as Alphonse thrusted up into him a few more time, a little bit rougher and shakier by the end before he too came.
<”Nii-san!”> The brassy haired Elric collapsed down onto his young mate, nuzzling at his ear in a affection before their shaking knee’s caused them both to collapsed down into the nest. They both buried themselves under the blankets and huddled together naked, the Alphonse wrapping his arms around the Edward’s waist. He nuzzled into the crook of his neck, purring like a new born kitten at the happy warm feeling that had spread from the top of his head an down to his toes.
<”I couldn’t ask for a better mate.”> He chirped and Edward rubbed his nose into the brassy coloured hair that was settled just under his chin.
<”Even though I can’t do alchemy?”> He asked in a sleep filled voice, trying to shake away a yawn before his heavy lidded eyes closed. At this question Alphonse snuggled in closer to his mate, pulling their fine hoard of blankets over thir heads.
<”Shh, you’ll be able to soon Nii-san, I’m sure of it.>”
----
Edward woke fairy early the next morning, the sun had not even risen, and brought his pelts towards himself, slipping them on as quietly as he could so he wouldn’t disturbed his mate in the process. With a small nuzzle at Alphonse’s ear, he left their make shift den to find food and also the urge to find a book came over him. Carefully, he wandered down the alley way, running finger through his blonde mane that badly needed to be groomed when he got back.
Around the brick wall he peered, making sure that no metal boxes where in sight before he gingerly crossed over the road. His fingers where tangled up in his braid and with a groan he stopped in his tracks, trying his best to groom in himself but it was to no avail. He knew he should have waken Alphonse but he looked do peaceful wrapped up like a new born kitten.
<”How in Elric did I get a twig in there?”> He asked himself in a perplexed manner, bringing the small piece of wood from his tangle of hair too peer at it. With a mutter he threw it to the road before brushing himself down.
<”NII-SAN!”> The sudden scream of his mate made him fly around on the spot, but before he could even register his face something large and metallic roared up towards him, it tried to screech down to stop, a loud noise erupting from it before...
He froze on the spot, whole body stuck to the ground and the only sound he could hear was of the metal box. It hit him at almost full speed, causing his small frame to roll up onto the bonnet like a child’s rag doll. It slipped down from the side, smacking down hard onto the tarmac road beneath them before the metallic box came to an abrupt halt.
Only an agonising couple of seconds had passed, but to Edward it felt like an eternity. Nothing registered at first, only dull sounds and a sudden warm sensation upon his face.
“Holy Shit!” he heard the cry of a human somewhere off in the distance, but that didn’t matter to him right then, nothing mattered to him for the first couple of seconds.
<“NII-SAN!”> The Alphonse screamed and rushed forward and across the deserted road, literally throwing himself over his Edward mate to protect him from the human.
<“Nii-san! Nii-san.> Are you injured, are you hurt! Nii-san.!”> Alphonse started to lick over his mates face, trying to rid as much as the blood as possible. It poured from Edwards’s nose though and he shakily tried to sit up, but the pain in his left side was too much and Alphonse pushed him back down.
<“No Nii-san, don’t move. You’re injured!”>
“Shit! Shit! I hit something, I think...I think it was an Elric, Holly crap I think I killed it.” The humans cry’s meant nothing to them, Alphonse only wanted to clean up his mates injuries, whimper at his unresponsive behaviour.
<“Nii-san! Edward! Please don’t leave me, please. I don’t care that you can’t use alchemy.” Alphonse was beside himself, tears pouring from his eyes as he clung to his life mate, holding him for dear life. Blood had stained both their pelts, but he didn’t care, didn’t want to know. The distressed human approached them, only to receive an angry fear filled growl from Alphonse.
<”BACK OFF.”> He screamed but he knew full well that the humans where too stupid to understand him.
Edward’s eyes became heavy again as a pain filled whimper broke loose from his throat.
<”Shh...Al...shhh...fine...be...fine...”> It was the last thing he could recall before the unconsciousness took a hold of him, brought him down into a slumber who may never wake from.

It was four in the morning, why on earth would anyone be ringing at four in the morning. Jack Hayes gave small disgruntled sigh as he reached for the cordless phone on the nightstand, pressing the answer button before sticking in to his ear.
“Hello?” He asked, trying his hardest to stiffen an yawn and too keep his voice down at the same time. The last thing he wanted to do was wake his wife at his side.
“Dr. Hayes, jack, It’s Beth!” The woman on the end of the receiver sounded nervous and worry filled, which was unlike her usual calm and care freeway tone.
“Beth, It four am, what-“
“There’s been an accident down on Park road. An Elric pair’s wandered out into the middle of it and an Edwards been struck down. He’s in really bad shape; at first we thought it was dead.”
“Crap.” Jack had jumped from his bed in seconds, stumbling around in the dark to pull on some jeans. This woke his wife who squinted in the darkness before she reached over to click on the bed side lamp, engulfing the whole room in a bright orange light.
“Jack?” She asked before yawning, but that was before she saw her husband’s worried look and move from the bed herself.
“Jack, what’s wrong?” She asked in a calm tone.
“It’s the Alphonse Jack, we can’t get anywhere near the Edward. It’s being really protective of its mate, Sonny almost had his fingers bitten off.”
“Alright Beth, I’m on my way.” He clicked the button on the phone and threw it to the bed before grabbing up a clean t-shirt from his drawer, stumbling around to find his trainers.
“Jack!”
Jack turned as he grabbed up his keys, almost forgetting that his wife was there before rushing to give her a rather rush kissed on her cheek.
“An Edward has been hit, I’ll call you.” He was out the door before she could even blink and wish him good luck. But that was Jack Hayes for you, always thinking of the Elric’s before himself. It had been like that since she had first met him, and was probably something that was never going to change.
---
Jack luckily kept his spare medical kit in the back of his land rover but it took him several seconds and a few slaps to the cheek to really wake him up. By the time he had reached the scene it looked as all hell had broken loose. The sun was just rising and an orange glow was cast down upon anybody who had heard the scream’s and rub out of their apartments.
He had to wade himself through a small crowd of people and thumbed with his ID badge to show the police man in charge.
“The Elric doctor?” The man had asked and jack nodded quickly as he ducked under the police tape, following him quickly to the scene of the accident.
“The Alphonse’s going crazy, I’ve never seen anything like it. Not sure if the Edwards still alive or not.” This made a small pool of ice collect in the bottom of the young Elric specialist's stomach, but he shook it away, took on a more clinical look as he was guided through police cars and past a rather shaken looking man.
“Sleep deprived driver and dumb animal. Not even a human stands a chance.” The police man gave shake of his head as they came upon the scene. Jack had just been about to glare at the man before what he saw made him groan in frustration.
Several police man and T.E.R.N specialists had a hold of the distort Alphonse, trying their hardest to keep in hands apart, but it was taken all of their strengths. He knew very well that Alphonse’s where the more docile of the Elric but this just seemed pandemonium. He moved quickly forward though and saw Beth crouching over the injured Elric.
The twilight was making it hard to see but when jack dropped to a crouch his eyebrows raised up.
“Oh thank God you’re here! Do you need me to sedate the Alphonse?” She asked, wiping her red waves of hair back from his flustered looking face. Jack gave a meek nod of his head a moment as he delved into his metallic white box, pulling out a syringe and needle.
“This-this should knock it out for a few hours.” He muttered, handing her the equipment without another look, his eyes firmly on the Edward.
“Jack? Jack what’s wrong? Oh for-“ she got to her feet and rushed over to the where the Alphonse had dropped to its knee’s panting and whimpering out of breath. It still tried to struggle over to its mate though, snapping at anyone who got their hands in the way.
“Shh, okie sweetie, shh. Keep his head the other way.” Beth was rather fond of her fingers and lifted up the creatures arm pelt, delivering the shot that would hopefully calm the poor animal’s nerves.
“SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!” Jack suddenly shouted, the whole crowd of people turned silent and he looked around frantically.
“This isn’t an Edward!” He added frantically, the police man in charge felt his face drop before he quickly fiddled with his radio, screamed at whoever was at the end of it to send an ambulance straight away. Jack shook as he looked back down at the pelt covered boy in front of him and started to clear the blood from his nose, checking for any sign of broken bones, examining him like he was a human.
No, not like a human. He was a human.
This was no Edward Elric.
A/N: being hit by a car hurts. Don’t walk in front of them!
