Fascinated, I stretched a trembling hand towards his arm, briefly touching one of the lines before drawing back, hissing softly. It burned, like a fire that was slowly consuming him, just barely captured and controlled. "Brother..." It was horrible, but yet at the same time, so enticing; so much power, but despite all of that, he was still him, he had not been consumed by it. "What does this mean?"

His eyes slid shut again. "To save some, more had to be gathered and killed. Both our people, and the others. But now, for so long as those lives last, I will be able to protect those that remain. Such is the burden of the Great Art."

Slowly, carefully, I reached down again, pressing fingers against bronzed skin, tracing the burning lines of power. "But that's what you had to do." I could almost see it, could almost see with the vision and clarity of my brother. Almost. "If you had not gotten these lives, then all of us would have died. It was a hard decision, but one that had to be made."

That smile returned once more. "Perhaps. But that does not matter. There is no longer such a thing as a 'Great Art.' Everything, every aspect of alchemy, belongs to the Devil now. And I, too, am his." The smile saddened. "Thank you, for having hope in my redemption. But I am too far gone now, I have killed too many to be a part of this society once more. You, however..."

"My place is with you." My hands slid down to grasp his hand, spreading clenched fingers. "The bond between brothers, our bond, is not something that I'm going to give up." My face creased into a frown. "I will never let you go."

"For that, I am glad." His face was soft, his smile warm.

"Brother..." Another question nagged at my mind. "What else have you given up?"

"Everything. Every earthly comfort and companionship."

"Now that Cheryll has died?" My voice was soft, as well.

"Yes... without her, I am alone in the world. And I couldn't bring her back..."

[jade-pen.livejournal.com]

I surprised my self with how intense my voice was. "You aren't alone, Brother! I can be there for you."

Slowly, softly, he smiled. "And I gave up every pleasure for the Art, too. Remember?" He shrugged his cloak aside, baring himself to me. At the part of him that he had lost. "What could you do for me, my dearest brother? I have lost too much for you to help now."

My mind whirled; I could feel his sorrow, his loss, and there was nothing I could do. Nothing at all... or was there? "Brother... you can use me."

"What?" For the first time, I had honestly surprised him.

"I can still feel, Brother. I can still... be like that. Perhaps, if you were to touch me, feel me... it could sooth some of your pain?" I shook my head; that wouldn't work, what kind of idiot was I being? "I... nevermind. I just want to help, but..."

"No..." His voice was soft, soothing, somehow. "You truly want to help, my brother. And perhaps you are right." His smile returned. "It has been so long since I have seen someone in true pleasure that I have almost forgotten it." He took a breath. "Here. Show me."

Never in my life had I been so nervous. I shrugged off my clothes as quickly as possible, fumbling with the loose flaps until I was just as bare as he. I trembled slightly; the night air was cool, and the way my brother was staring at me...

"Lay down." He stood up and gestured at the bed, and I obeyed instantly, closing my eyes and bracing for it. At least, until his soft voice whispered, "There's no need to be afraid, my dearest brother. I won't hurt you." And then I felt his hands on my shoulders.

It was burning. Even though his hands were soft and untainted, somehow, that same burning sensation was there. But even still, it felt right; I stopped shivering, no longer cold, no longer as afraid. "My dearest brother..." His hand slid down my chest, and I could almost feel his inquisitive gaze, following the line of my heavy mucles, tracing along the ribs, heat and fire with every motion.

I couldn't stop a groan. The touch... it was soft, yes, but possessive, warm and wanting, and it was beyond my means to resist it. I felt him trace over my chest, hand brushing over now-hardened nubs, drawing another groan out of me as I started panting; the heat was too much, it was hard to draw in air, hard to do anything more than feel.

And over it all was my brother's voice, controlled but with an edge of lust to it. "I see... so that is what it must be like..." His hand dipped lower, feeling the muscles of my stomach, sliding over skin that was now slick with sweat, fire starting to flow along my nerves, liquid pleasure building up in me. I gasped and groaned with each motion, leaning my head back, exposing myself to my brother's scrutiny, to his obvious approval. "Tell me, my brother..." His voice was heated now, and he leaned over to whisper directly in my ear, "How does this feel?"

"Hot... I-incredible... like my body's burning up, but feeling so good... Like I want to..." I groaned; each word brought him a little closer, a little further down, ever nearer to my now-straining erection. "P-please, Brother, touch me there..."

A low chuckle. "Of course." And he did.

Nothing, nothing in the world felt like that. It was heat, so intense that I was burning, but pleasure so sharp that I went slack, unable to move from just how good it felt. Incredible, absolutely incredible, and my body sprawled out, legs spread and arms limp, inviting him to touch me more, to see what more he could make me do.

And then he started stroking. Hard and fast, his red eyes burning into me, so obviously driven by unrequited passion that I could feel the power and lust radiating from him, nearly consuming me. Each stroke, each touch, felt so good, and he wasn't slowing down, wasn't stopping the touching, wasn't letting me do anything more than whimper his name. "My brother..." His voice was just as hot as his touch, and it drove me mad to hear it like that, so unlike himself. "If I keep doing this... will you scream for me?"

"Anything! Anything!" Anything at all to keep him touching me, to keep his blazing grip on me. And holy Ishbala, I never knew, I never knew that he could be so good, so harsh, so possessive all at once, the fires of passion usually kept under control. My hands slid to his back, grabbing onto the blazing sigils and holding tightly. I was so close now, so very, very close, every muscle in my body clenching and tensing, whimpering and moaning as he kept driving me to the edge, faster and faster...

[jade-pen.livejournal.com]

"B-Brother! Please!" I clutched onto him, breathing him in, begging him for more. More and more, to be set on fire with his grip and his voice, consumed by his passion, touched over and over again, soft hands tracing over my body, sliding over my skin, setting every nerve aflame, and always, always, those red eyes boring into me, watching the helpless looks of pleasure on my face...

With a scream of his name, I toppled over the edge, white-hot pleasure blinding me, my body spasming and shaking from the intensity of it all. One of his arms wrapped around my waist as the other continued stroking me, holding me until I rode out the waves of sheer ecstacy rocking through me. Slowly, so very slowly, the heat and intensity started to drain away, starting to cool in the chilling air.

One hand, warm now, brushed the sweaty hair out of my face. My brother gazed down at me, his soft smile still unchanged. "I see," he whispered after a moment, "so that is what I have given up."

"B-Brother..."

Abruptly, he held me close, pressing those warm arrays into my skin, his right arm holding me so closely. "I see... that I have given up more of Ishbala's gifts than I had originally considered." His voice was soft. "And my punishment fits the crime... my dearest brother, even if I can no longer live a normal life, there is no reason for you not to. You, at least, have a complete body, untainted by the Devil's Art." Urgently, he whispered, "If you truly love me, if you truly want this bond to continue... then live your life, as you should. So long as there are people like you still around, as long as you hold on to your faith and hope... then Ishbal has not truly fallen."

"Brother?" I couldn't hide the concern in my voice.

"My dearest, dearest brother..." He held me close, stroking me now, soothing. "You have given me something that I thought I had lost. And for the hope and the memories that you've given me... I will give you anything. Anything at all." He squeezed, pressing ever closer. "Even if it costs me my life, I will make sure that you will have that life. Let me be corrupted, and leave the vengeance to Ishbala."

I clutched onto him, pulling him close. "What kind of life would that be? How could I live on without you?"

"You will find a way." He smiled. "But that doesn't matter now." Surprising me, he leaned on me, resting his slight weight against my muscular frame. "For now... for right now, we can just let this moment last."

"'A single moment can be the greatest blessing of Ishbala?'" I chuckled; even now, I held onto the teachings.

"No, my brother. 'Family is a gift that should never be lost.'"

This story has a polished feel, great pacing, and is a very nice take on the challenge theme. The dialogue is occasionally stilted, and there are some small problems here and there, but with minor editing I think you could post this in primetime.

This gets my second vote. ♥
