AN: yay for branching out into another fanfiction! This is my first FMA and…can I just say that it's a lot darker than one would think just hearing about it. Anyways, I realized…you don't hear much mention of Al's birthday so here's my take on it! Read on lovelies!

"Alphonse's Birthday"

By: ilikesaddleshoes

Alphonse's birthday was never celebrated by the Elric brothers anymore.

How many places like "Funland" or "Bingley's Playplace" could you bring what appeared to be a suit of armor?

He may have been taller but Al was still fundamentally a child. With a child's mind and a child's dreams.

How many times could you give him a can of oil so his hinges kept working smoothly?

His soul may have been affixed to armor, but could you really ruin even his birthday with the constant reminder?

Didn't that happen enough?

So…Alphonse's birthday was never celebrated by the Elric brothers anymore.

AN: YATTA! 100 words! To those who don't know…a drabble is EXACTLY 100 words. Anything over…is a ficlet. fyi. Anyways, review and tell me your thoughts or don't and I'll sic my disgruntled muse Lysander on you! …he's unhappy because I filed a missing persons report on him and the police dragged him back to me. Reviewers get chocolate bunnies! ….why are my author's notes longer than my drabble! Argh!
