I sighed and lay back, looking up into the starry sky. There was no point in sleeping inside tonight, I wanted to look at the stars and remember. Remember exactly what I felt at that time three years ago. Unconciously, I reached my hand into my pocket and pulled out my watch, the watch that was proof I had sold my soul to the military all that time ago. I pressed down on the top and it popped open, revealing the date.
Today. three years ago. My vision turned into flames and I was lying beside my house, watching it burn. Engulfed in the crimson flames, the wood shrivelled and even the old tree was being charred yet I didn't regret what I had done. I felt like it was an oppurtunity for me to start anew, to begin again and build a new home and a new life. I sighed and sat up, breaking free from my day dream. To start a new life, we'd need new bodies. REAL bodies.
I curled my automail hand into a fist and punched into the sky, allowing myself to fall backwards onto the grass. What had I been doing all this time? Why had I been goofing around and prioritising other things when my little brother was still just a soul in a suit of armour?! What was I doing?!

"Brother." Al's voice made me jump and I sat up as he joined me in the grass.

"You're thinking about it too, huh?" I smiled sadly at the memory that had started off this crazy journey.

"Yes, it's hard not too." I grinned at Al and jumped up.

"Then let's make a promise! This time next year we'll both have our bodies back and a new house! Agreed?"
I can't usually tell my little brother's emotions since he became a suit of armour but this time, I could clearly see his smile. The kind of smile which lit up his entire face, just like when we were young.

"It's a promise, big brother."
