Summary
Immediately, Al shifts into his brother’s line of sight, leaning forward and reaching out a hand that Ed frantically latches onto. He’s trembling, sweat plastering his hair to his face, his eyes wide and searching as he grasps Al’s hand between both flesh and steel, hard enough that Al can see his knuckles turn white even in the dark room, illuminated only by the fragile moonbeams streaming in through the window.
“It’s okay, brother,” he says softly. “I’m here, I’m okay.” Ed is panting, his breaths tipping over each other as his gaze wavers, cracking, and Al repeats it over and over, watching the tension in his brother’s shoulders loosen just slightly with every iteration. In the corner of his vision, at the very edge of his helmet, he can see the moon slowly arc across the inky sky.
(Ed has a nightmare.)
