Summary
Ed and Al move into the Tucker home until Ed can pass his state alchemy exam. Shortly after they start living there, Ed finds himself in a difficult position, but is too scared to ask for help.

Edward stretched his hand out to the doorbell, gripped his suitcase with his automail, and held his breath like it could hold in his nerves as well.

Silence. Completely uninterrupted except for the high, drawn out chime that hung in the air. Had he known what was coming and been a man who believed in God, he might've considered it a message from the deity to run while he still could. Ask him later and he might tell you that standing there on the porch, his brother by his side, his anxiety fluttering in his chest, was the start to another period of his life where things went wrong.
