    Summary

    Zoro smirked, rolling his eyes. “Sure. That’s why we nearly starved before we even made it to the Grand Line.”

    Luffy’s laugh rolls over the deck like a summer breeze, infectious and unshaken, the sound of a boy who never stopped believing. And Zoro’s grin widened, shaking his head because Luffy’s contagious laughter made the ocean feel small and manageable.

    Feeling like getting a rise out of his captain, he slowly leaned more and more weight on Luffy till the younger boy was folded in half and was breathless. In retaliation, Luffy jabbed his perpetually bony elbows into his ribs with the force of a thousand suns.

    There was a time when they were strangers, bound only by circumstance, but now, they are each other’s home.

    Luffy continued to laugh, the sound light as the breeze. “But we didn’t!” He turned his gaze to the sky, eyes wide, as if seeing those first days play out in the constellations. “Back then, it felt like the world was just waiting for us. Like no matter what happened, we’d get to the next island and keep going.”

    Nami leaned forward, her elbows resting on her knees, a sign of intimacy and engagement.

    Summary

    The first month after the Promised Day had been a blur for the Elric brothers. A flurry of highs and lows, of emotions and new experiences for the first time in five years. By month three, there was a noticeable decline in the health of Alphonse Elric’s newly regained body.
    “Brother?” he whispered, like he had a secret, like he did when they were little kids up after bedtime, afraid their mom would catch them out of bed. “I want to see the ocean.”
    “We’ll do it.” Ed didn’t know how, but that had never stopped him before. If this was the last thing he did, this quest that suddenly seemed so important to his brother, this one last desperate plea for life and freedom, he would do it. “We’ll find you the ocean.”

    Summary

    “I know that, I just-” Ed cut off, before letting out a sigh sharp enough to slice stone. “It.. Reminds me of Mom, seeing you like this.”

    Al thinned his lips, but didn’t speak, giving his brother room to elaborate.

    “You have her face, you know. I’ve always been jealous of that, because I look more like the old bastard,” Ed commented under his breath. The flippant tone his voice carried juxtaposed his grimace, like coating a pill of cyanide in honey to make the process of eating it easier.

    Al kept his own opinions locked up a moment more so he could give Ed the chance to get anything else he wanted to say out there. His brother seldom stayed vulnerable for long. He didn't want to interrupt.

    As Al stared, waiting, Ed shrunk under his gaze. His expression walked the tightrope between guarded and thoughtful. It was as if he were trying to make his thoughts seem more like spit-balled ramblings than anxieties that had plagued him ever since Al emerged from The Gate with skin shades too pale and earthquakes rattling his frame with every feeble step.

    Or; Al's recovery is slow, and that's a scary thing for a brother who's just barely gotten him back.

    Summary

    Of course, Vash would apologize for almost bleeding out. Nick should be the one apologizing. He’s the one who was careless enough to let those morons back him into a corner. Who was willfully ignorant of Vash’s wounds to the point that Vash couldn’t keep up anymore. The one who couldn’t do anything but scramble to help after Vash lost whatever strength he had left to pretend.
