who: Alphonse & Edward Elric
what: Ed surprises Al with his birthday gift
when: The night of Al's birthday, after the party.
where: The General Store
warnings: Boring remodeling?
After their conversation the night of the masquerade Ed’s idea of doing something for his brother was much quieter than a party involving all of their friends. The night before the Elrics had gone to the General Store to work out the set up and layout, considering the first night they’d tried that hadn’t accomplished much at all in regards to the shop. It wasn’t meant to be part of Al’s present, even if he thought it had been, it was just an excuse to keep him off of the floor while the party was arranged. Slipping out early to finish getting set up was easy enough once Edward found a task to occupy his brother with in his absence. When they were ready he’d just called him and told him to come back to the communal building, because they could finish up that night.
Which is exactly what they were doing now. After some work Ed had managed to get his hands on the property next door in order to convert it into an apartment space for them, but that sort of work wasn’t going to be done in a night either. They’d still have to get furniture and really set it up for it to be a space to live in. For now it was a functioning kitchen and bathroom attached to the General Store which was really all they needed right away. The General Store itself had several places to sleep with a cot, sofa and bed added to the back office and storage room upstairs. Now that they were back, Ed focused on getting a door between the storage room upstairs and the bedroom of the building next door to make things easier before anything else.
He hadn’t mentioned Al’s present since they left the communal building, but Ed made sure to bring it along so Al could get a chance to meet the new addition in private, away from the commotion of roommates or party goers. Once he was done he moved through the building to find his brother, really there was no way they’d get everything done in one night. Ed had sort of expected this to be more of a long term project, even before remodeling an apartment was added to the list of things they had to do to set up. “I think it’s time for a break, I’m going to grab a drink, want one?”

"I don't think I'm going to train them to battle. That seems a little cruel. I just want them to feel loved," he replied, giving his brother a bright grin. The eevee was apparently inspecting his boots and Al laughed softly, rubbing behind its ears before looking back up at Ed. "We'll have to come up with names for them, of course."

"It's like sparring, you want them to be smart and happy, right? That's what makes them happy. They're not cats, they like to train. If you're not training them they will do it themselves, I'd rather not take that risk." He wasn't completely sure of that, but he had read some things. If they chose to fight each other because Al left it up to them he wasn't sure what would happen, he'd never had to deal with more than one before.
