The sound of clanking metal footsteps as the owners' feet hit the ground seemed to vibrate off the wet cobblestone. Rain poured down on the two of them as they made their way through the newest city they were in.

"Damn it! I was hoping we could get to that damn hotel before the storm hit!" the smaller of the two, although not younger, cursed while trying to see his way through the thick sheets of water that poured from the heavens.

"The man at the restaurant said that it was just outside of city limits brother. We're almost there." The other one, a tall suite of armor said calmly. To be honest, the rain was getting to him as well; there was a slight worry in him that he might rust.

" Well, what do you suppose will happen if we don't hurry and dry and then oil ourselves well Al? We'd rust! We need to find that damn hotel!"

Al looked down at his older brother briefly before looking up, "ah! There it is!"

His brother looked up high, past the low roofs of the small homes that they were running past. "So it is." He smirked before quickening his pace. "Come on Al! If we're lucky we can find a room available—" he looked over his shoulder, moving a piece of golden hair out of golden eyes, only to notice that his younger brother was no longer there.

"Damn it Al! Where the hell did you go?" he demanded, his temper quickly rising, though in reality, he was more worried for his younger brother then angry.

"Brother!" Al's voice carried from a nearby alleyway. "Ed!" his voice held much urgency, which made his brother raise his eyebrow. Al rarely ever called him by his name.

Hurrying over to where Al was, Ed sighed at the sight in front of him.

Al huddled over a box of abandoned kittens.

Ed rubbed his temple, "Al." he started, but his younger brother but in before he got a chance to say anything else.

"Please brother? Just for tonight? It's raining and they don't have a home, maybe we can sneak them into the hotel with us…and let them free in the morning!" Al pleaded.

Ed sighed again, he was never one to say no to his brother. Just like he was never one to out beat his brother in anything they ever competed in. "what if the hotel doesn't have a room for us? Then what?"

"Then…I'll keep them safe inside my chest plate until the storm passes over. Please brother? They're mother abandoned them."

Ed frowned, Al knew him too well. He knew just what words to use and how to say them correctly.

He rubbed his temple before saying "fine, lets just go before we actually will rust."

Al just followed behind him happily.
