A/N: This is what a girl does when she is bored, listening to a cute song, and missing her friends. She drabbles siblingness to a series she barely knows anything about. Yes, it's true - this is my very first FMA piece, and I'm probably very inaccurate, but I have an excuse. This was inspired by the episode 'Fullmetal Heart' ('Heart of Steel' in the dub), and has spoilers for its ending. I was just so compelled by what happened that I couldn't help but drabble, and when I listened to this song by Mark Wills, I just had to throw something together. So pardon the inaccuracies, but I have yet to see the next episode, and I really don't want to look at episode summaries, because that would probably make me take this down. Maybe I will one day, but meh...

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA and I don't own 'When you think of me' by Mark Wills. Don't sue me...

Dedication: Dedicated in the memory of Heather Lara Marley, whom I think of daily, and I'll never forget all that she did for me. I'll see you soon, angel...

(Ed's POV)

"Al! Don't go, Al!" I screamed, watching my brother escape my grasp and jump down to the surface below. I couldn't lose him - not like this. Not when he couldn't remember who he was anymore... "AL!"

When you think of me

My own selfish decisions are what made him turn on me. He ran to try and find himself when it was me that took away everything he had...everything he wanted in life. I thought I could make things better by doing what I did, but it just made everything worse. Mom was dead, Al felt like he was, and I might as well be too. How could I live with myself, knowing that I had sent my family to death because of me?

But I couldn't just let him go...

Though he didn't want to admit it, I knew Al was scared. Sure he was a tough kid capable of protecting himself, but there was no way he could fight off these so-called lack of memories on his own. He needed me as much as I needed him, despite knowing that there was a part of him deep inside that hated me for what I had done. He would only grow more bitter if I wasn't there at his side to see him through this, and if he wanted me to leave him alone, I would. Brothers do that for eachother and they don't ask questions they shouldn't.

Remember the way that I used to be

Running through the streets, I searched in every alley for him, asking random people if they had seen a tall suit of armor run through town. Most were too shocked to answer, so my search continued as more thoughts raced through my mind.

Memories from when Mom was still alive started to resurface, and seeing Al's smiling face when she would hug him was enough to bring me to my knees in the middle of the street. All Al ever wanted these days was to just be who he was, but now...he couldn't remember who he was. That or didn't want to remember anymore. But who could want to forget those happy memories of being with Mom? She always found a way to make us smile, and we loved her for it.

...Still do love her for it, too.

Remember the times I held you tenderly

I just wanted Al to stop trying to forget things I knew happened! His memories are just as real as mine, and I'd never tamper with them - my brother meant too much to me to do that to. Even if I had the choice to implant happier memories in place of horrifying one's, I'd never do it. Memories made Al stronger. They made him want to fight harder to get his body back. They were enough reason for me to risk my life every day, just so that he could keep them a little longer.

When a light rainfall began to fall from the sky, I heard a familiar clunking sound from the alleyway to my right. Without having to look, I knew he was there, watching me from the shadows. "Al?"

He didn't say a word.

"Even if you don't think you ever existed, I'll always remember you for who you are. You're the brother who's stayed by me all these years; protected me when I couldn't protect myself." I paused, standing to my feet and glancing in his direction to see his expressionless face stare back at me. "But if you don't think you're Alphonse Elric anymore, I'll still love you as a brother should."

Remember the way that I loved you

A/N: I'm not gonna say much except that...please don't flame me for inaccuracy! I don't really care if I'm not right or whatever, because I think this is cute! If you wanna leave a nice review, please do! I'd be so tickled if you did! Thanks for your time!

P.S. ...Surprise, Shizu! lol
