THE BLONDE AUTOMAIL AND THE BLOND ALCHEMIST

It's a fairly ordinary day at Reseembol, but not for a certain blonde mechanic, she wiped away the beads of sweat that formed in her forehead with the back of her hand. She looked up at the sky, the weather's kinda crisp, it's almost fall anyway but somehow she felt that even the sun is excited today.

"How long should I wait for them to be here...?" Winry sighed frustrated.

She can't seem to calm down, she's feeling anxious, a mixture of sugar rush and adrenaline rush. She shrugged that thought; she's been waiting for this moment for this day to come; the day when the Elric brothers will be coming home and hopefully staying for good.
Den came running to her, she pat the dog and smiled, she remembered vividly when Edward called her to tell her, that Alphonse got his body back.

----------------------FLASH BACK----------------------

Winry is very busy trying to make a new automail design for Ed, she sipped her hot tea. Her brow furrowed as she doodle little details and hearts, she can't seem to find any inspiration today. She looked at window, the sun is almost setting and it gave a beautiful glow.
Pinako is doing the laundry today, her mouth full of pegs. She smiled, and then sighed,she looked at her design once again.

"I can do it! He'll be so amaze in my new design; he'll be down on his knees begging for it and me? I'll rub it in his face buahaha"
she laughed at her own joke.

She secretly liked it when Edward compliments her work, not whining about it. Its priceless, Edward's eyes will bulge out of their sockets, those amazing orbs filled with awe and innocent, just like a 5yr. old kid whose introduced to Mr. bicycle.
Winry loved that look, when Ed's not worried, sad or impatient to take on another journey to hell, not caring if he'll comeback or about the people he left behind. But she cant blame Ed. Ed blamed himself for Al's body and was striving very hard to get it back.
That's Ed. Tough, strong and hard headed.

But there's another side of Edward, the childish and shy little Ed. She giggled at that thought, she remembered when she and Ed danced the night away in a festival in the town square, all the time Ed's face is flushed and his hand is all sweaty and shaking.
The thought of Edward "the lord of know-it all" shy. Almost impossible but she's happy, she was one of the few lucky people who were able to see his softer side.

She loves his comebacks, his reaction, his smart comments, his worried face and more importantly she loved him. She mentally slapped herself at the thought.

"I love Ed..." she whispered and closed her eyes. "Me and Edward…" she was deep in thought when the phone suddenly rang. She ran down the stairs, shouting to her grandma, "I'll get it".

Must be another order she thought, but she hoped it's not just an order.

"Winry" the voice said huskily but soothing. She smiled and immediately recognized the voice, the impatient and stubborn voice that she always cringed to hear. The voice that sends flutter in her stomach. She was relief. He was alive.
She heard a childish voice in the background, sounding excited.

"AL..." she breathed. They were alive.

"Hey Win, you there?" the voice asked.

"Uhmm... hey Ed!" she tried to hide the enthusiasm in her voice, but the panting because of her running was evident to the other line.

"Are you alright?" Ed's voice became worried. She smiled at herself and twirled the telephone cord. She leaned on the wall and looked outside, everything seems brighter now.

"I'm fine shawty" she answered.

"Who are you calling so small that can't even—", Edward cut his retort and smiled. "Auto-freak" he just murmured.
Winry let out a laugh, she beat Ed today. Winry's laughter always brought smile in the alchemist's lips.
Her laughter is infectious and yet when he hears Winry's laughter he always feels safe and vulnerable.

"Whatever shrimp" Winry laughed again. "Yeah, yeah whatever, wait until Al and I are home and you'll pay" This time Edward was the one to laugh, he thought that Winry will laughed with him, but the line went silent. Dead silent. He could still hear Winry's slow breathing.

"Hey Winry…" he asked, and then he heard muffled sobs. His eyes widened with surprise. He thought the news will make Winry happy but then again you can never predict a girl's reaction. They are too complicated.

"Hey Win, aren't you happy will—",he was cut off by Winry, her voice broken.

"Of course I am you idiot!" she exclaimed. Edward sighed a relief, he could already imagine, Winry's pouty face, trying to hold back the tears and 100% for sure that's she's fiddling the telephone cord to keep herself for crying again.

"Then why are you crying?" he asked. Winry sighed, she loved that two will come back but in the back of her mind there's still a question that she wanted to ask. "Because I'm happy you too are going back..." she trailed off, and then continues. Her voice cracked. "But how long Ed? Before you embark again on another "hero's epic"?" she asked.
Ed didn't miss the sarcasm on her voice. Alphonse was now standing beside him, curios what made his brother grin.

"We can stay as long as you want win…" he said softly. It gave chills in Winry's back.

"Wha-at do you mean?" she stammered. Ed grinned again.

"Congratulate me, were able to get Alphone's back!" Ed smirked then prepared his ears.

"What?! When!? Who?! Where?! How?!" Winry was now dead shocked; she must've used every W QUESTIONS her teacher taught when she was in elementary.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me!?" Winry shrieked again. "Calm down Win.." its Alphone's voice now. "AL!!!!" she screamed. She heard Al laughing and she calmed down.

"Fine." she said.

"It's been a long journey Win, we'll tell you all about it when we arrived" it's Ed. He has his assuring voice now. She smiled.

"I'll be waiting then…" she said.

"Hey midget! Come here now, talk to your girlfriend later!" she heard Mustang in the background, she blushed.

"Who are you calling short!" Ed shouted back at Roy. Winry chuckled, that's just Ed. His Ed. And they'll be seeing each other soon.
"Go, Ed call me later, tell Al take care" she smiled. Ed sighed; he wants to talk to her more. "Thanks Win, wait for us, bye" Ed said. Winry was about to put down the phone when she heard Ed's voice.

"I've missed you so much" Ed said quietly and then the line went dead. She held the phone tighter "Ed, I've missed you to—"she tried to get a response, but there's none. Winry sighed she must misheard him. Her heart was thumping and her cheeks were flushed.

"Ive missed you" she repeated the same words, that sent chills in her. It's too good to be true. She went back to her design, trying to forget those imaginary words.

But at the back of her mind she knew she heard it right.
