This is kind of funny out of context too, but no !!!This is my favorite picture in the world, OK? Because Al doesnāt sleep. He doesnāt need the bed or the blanket, but I guarantee you Ed insisted Al share it with him. He wasnāt going to let Al lay on the floor or sit against a wall by himself all night. I canāt see Al just taking the blanket, not when Ed needs it more, so Ed mustāve tucked the blanket around him during the night, the way a good big brother does. He never treats Al any differently than he would if Al had a flesh and blood body. He always tries to preserve that normalcy, to make Al feel as human as possible.
And theyāre sleeping back-to-back. Alās body is cold and hard. He couldāve gotten up or Ed couldāve moved away, but no. Theyāre snuggled against each other. If youāve ever slept back-to-back with someone before you know thereās something comforting about feeling the other personās body heat, knowing theyāre right there. Al doesnāt have body heat and he canāt feel Edās, but they still take comfort in each otherās presence, in knowing the otherās close beside them. Theyāre laying beside each other like nothingās strange about it. Edās body is actually angled so that heās pressed against Al as he sleeps. He wants to be there.
Itās kind of the antithesis of the above picture. In that one, Alās alone with a blanket thatās too small for him, looking (and probably feeling) very out of place. Here, the blanketās big enough to wrap him in a comfy burrito, and heās not alone. Heās got Ed, and he looks (and probably feels) much more in place.
