A Letter For An Alchemist (The Quiet One)

Special thanks to Ayumi for giving me the idea X3

My Dearest Edward,

 

Hi, it's me.

Or have you forgotten me?

You probably have.

I'm quiet.

I'm just kind of there.

 

So, in the case that you have forgotten me

Let me re-introduce myself.

My name is Koda Tucker.

I'm 16 years old.

I like to eat sweets.

I build AutoMail for people, mostly you.

And I've fallen hard for you.

 

That's me.

The quiet one.

 

You mean alot to me, you know.

Like, alot alot.

I only say this because I know you.

You most likely skimmed over the paragraph about myself.

 

I know what I want to do.

Me.

The quiet one.

 

You'll research your heart out

To find whats yours.

I know this.

And I'll be the one to bring you your books.

You'll smile at me,

but go back to reading.

I'll smile.

 

You'll go away

And I'll be the only one

To wrap my arms around your waist and

Beg you not to go.

But you'll go

And I'll cry.

 

You'll be gone awhile, then mysteriously show up.

And I'll be glad.

I'll ask to fix your AutoMail

And you'll say no

As you pull up your shirt sleeve

To reveal a flesh and blood arm.

I'll smile wide

Becaues you've succeeded.

 

I'll wrap my arms around your neck

And kiss your forehead.

You'll blush.

I'll blush,

Then I'll let go and walk to the next room.

And we'll never speak of it again.

 

Cuz thats who I am.

The quiet one.

 

One day will come

Where you'll come to me in a panic.

"I want to propose to Winry," you'll say

"How can I do it?"

 

I'll give you a heartbroken smile

And teach you

What a girl wants

When she's proposed to.

You'll smile, thank me,

And leave without a word.

And I'll cry

But not sob aloud.

 

I'm the quiet one.

 

The wedding will come

And I'll fade into the background of people.

You'll be too happy to

Notice I'm gone anyway.

 

Cuz I'm quiet.

 

There'll be times where you'll need help

And I'll be the first to offer it.

I'll always take your hand

And show you where to go.

I'll always be there, Edward.

Always.

I promise you.

Promise.

 

If

For some reason

Winry tells you "no"

I'll the shoulder you'll cry on.

I'll give you tissues

To wipe away your bitter tears.

I'll stroke your hair and tell you

"Everything will be okay."

But you'll barely hear me over your sobs.

 

Cuz I'm the quiet one.

 

I love you, Edward.

More than you can comprehend.

I do not ask

For you

To fall in love with me back.

I only ask

That you smile for me when I see you

And that you remember my name.

If you can do that

Then I will always be there for you.

 

No matter how quiet I am.

 

I love you.

 

~Koda Tucker

 

 

 

 

Dearest Koda,

 

I could write a whole letter to you

About how what you've told me

Makes me feel

But I have no need.

My message to you is this:

The last line of your letter

(No, not your name silly)

 

~Edward

 

 

Author's Note

This was really hard for me to write, only because I was trying to write what Koda felt would happen to Edward in the future. NO, I AM NOT PROMOTING EDWIN, so dont ask. ._____.

So Koda sees THIS Edward: A caring, hardworking, stubborn boy who has the hots for her best friend. But the REAL Edward is a caring, hardworking, stubborn boy who has the hots for HER. X3 But she's too blind with discouragement to see that.

If I had to give you any background on this, I would say that she wrote this simply for the sake of feeling better. She probably threw this in a drawer, locked it up, and forgot about it. It's only use now is collecting dust. BUT, I threw the end in to make you guys say "Awwwwww". Did it work? :3

Awwwwww yes it totally worked. I loved fullmetal partically Alphonse. Well done on this poem involving Edward. Hope to read more poems or anime related stuff.

[halflives]

What? WHAT? I already read this... AND I DIDN'T REVIEW? What is wrong with me?
Anywho, I'm reviewing now.
I've only read/watched a small bit of FMA, but this is EXCEPTIONAL. Cleverly written and beautifully ended. I love the quiet confliction as to "Should I tell him? Finally, I will tell him!" and Ed's reaction. I love how you put in Edward at the end. Very cute, I did indeed say "awww".
Shall we say, incredible~

[Rae]

YES!!! The end TOTALLY worked! ^^ This was so cute!

[DearSweetAgony]

Awwwwww!
My sister is in LOVE with Edward!
If she read this she would freak out!
This was a really good poem, I'm going to copy
and paste it to my sister.
Great Job!

I really love Fullmetal one of the best anime I've ever seen

[A.D. Wilson]

Wow! You were really working the unrequited love angle for a while there. It was so sad and heartbreaking. Then BOOM!, Edward writes her a letter and confesses his love. Awwwww! Took me totally by surprise. You rock!

[State of Grace]

AW!! This is adorable!!! And yes, the ending did work! Great job!!

[XxGothicDollsxX]

KAWAII~!!!!!

[Miss Sally Sunshine]

It did make me go awwww. Great job!!!!!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

I adore this, it's sublet without being vague and thoughtful kind and dangerous all a the same time, A very well written and researched piece, thoughtfully delivered without being pretentiousness, very well done, great read.
