"Thank you! Remember, your next appointment is in two weeks!" Winry called after her customer, beaming brightly.
The young man turned around, almost smirking. "Oh, I definitely won't forget," he answered, tossing a wink over his shoulder and sauntering out of the shop.
Edward's jaw dropped. Had that stranger just flirted with Winry? With WINRY?! And she's blushing?!
"Who is that guy?" grumbled Ed, eyeing the red staining Winry's cheeks.
"Oh, Ryan? He's a customer, of course. He's been coming by for almost a year now," Winry sighed happily, carefully rearranging her tools.
"He seemed really suspicious. I think something's wrong with him."
Winry stopped wiping her hands and glared at Edward, who looked away in fear. "There's nothing wrong with him, Ed."
Edward spluttered. Why was she even defending him? "There's something wrong with the way you start blushing and stuttering whenever he talks to you!" he exploded suddenly.
A slight flush formed on Winry's cheeks before her eyes narrowed viciously. "So what? He's tall; that's attractive. Not that you'd know, you bean sprout!"
"What did you call me?!"
"A bean sprout!"
"Who're you calling too small to-"
"You!"
"I didn't even finish my sentence!"
A wrench came sailing through the air, nailing Edward on the forehead.
"What the hell, Winry?! That hurt!" yelled Ed, a murderous expression on his face.
Winry opened her mouth to reply, but she was interrupted by loud laughter. She and Ed whipped around to find Al standing by the door, clutching his stomach and doubling over with laughter.
"Sorry," he said, brightly. "It's just… you two are so oblivious."
"Oblivious to what?" growled Edward as Winry demanded, "What're you talking about?"
Al smiled and shook his head before retreating out of the room.
After a few seconds of silence, Winry whirled around. "Ed! This is all your fault!"
"What?! How?!"
"If you hadn't made me throw my wrench at you, I could've hit Al with it!"
