Chapter 22
"Armstrong is a stalker"

M/R's pov
Edward was currently working out on the floor whilst me and Alphonse were talking with Izumi. It was rather quiet, just Edward lifting his weights could be heard until it went silent. We looked back at the blonde and noticed him with an...angry or shocked expression on his face.
"What's wrong, big brother? Sprained your back?" Alphonse asked.
"Did he break his automail?" I mumbled, heading over to him and crouching beside his arm, leaning close to it to check. Suddenly, he turned to face me, causing our foreheads to hit. "Aggh! Eddd!"
"Ack! Sorry!" He apologises, rubbing his own forehead after putting the dumbbell down.
"Did something happen?" Alphonse asked.
Edward seemed to shiver in fear, "I forgot this year's assessment."
"Ah!"
I paused, "Assessment?"
"The annual assessment of State Alchemists!" Edward explained.
"If it's not done properly, then his title gets taken away." Alphonse added.
"Ugh...It's been so busy these days. Crap, crap.." Edward mumbled to himself.
"Awesome- take this chance to quit being the Military's dog!" Izumi exclaimed, "I'll tell that to the Military for you."
"Stop!!!" Edward whined.
"You need to get there in person, right?" I asked, "But you're all the way here in Dublith.."
"Yup! We need to head on over!" Ed clasped his hands together and started to get packing.
"C'mon M/R, you need to get ready." Alphonse says, ruffling my hair.
"It's weird to do that to someone older than you, Al." I sighed.
"Ah, sorry about that."
"No, it's fine-"
Alphonse then turned to Edward, who was packing his journal and stuff into his luggage. "Big Brother! The Southern Headquarters is closer than Central! It's only two train stations down!"
"Yeah, thanks Al!" Edward grinned, putting his coat and gloves on.
"Ed, what'll you do about the report?" I asked, putting my own coat on and following him.
"I'll just make up crap along the way on the train!"
Izumi sighed, crossing her arms and lightly leaning against the wall. "Take care of yourself, M/R."
"Yeah, I think we'll be back in- wait hold on! Just M/R???" Edward huffed.
"Yeah, sure thing Mrs. Curtis!" I smiled brightly, waving goodbye to Alphonse and Izumi as we headed out.

Edward sneezed.
Y'know, that is such a great sentence starter, I have no idea how this book is so successful- shut up author- my bad.
I looked at him and arched a brow, "You okay?" I asked.
