Best Friends, of Soul Mates:

Chapter 1: Coming Home

It was an ordinary day in Risemboul. Winry Rockbell was busily clinking away at her mechanics. But her mind wasn't on her work. Her best friend was coming home today. Her best friend that had almost died a couple months ago. Edward Elric was the military's youngest alchemist and hero. After uncovering the secrets of Furor Bradley and the secrets of the homunculus, Ed became a hero. He was offered a huge house and a crap load of money but he turned it down. Well not the crap load of money but the house. He turned it down to live in his home town.

Of course his brother, Alphonse, had had some say in this. Alphonse had wanted to move back to Risemboul and live with Panako and Winry so Ed had turned down the house. Ed would do anything for Al. He had nearly sacrificed his own life before they found out that there was another way to get Al's body back.

A knock on her door brought Winry out of her daze. She shook her head trying to get her mind back on her work. Pinako came in and looked at her strangely. Winry had been hiding out in her workshop since she found out that Ed and Al were coming home. Her grandmother was getting worried about her because she wasn't eating much.

"Winry?" Pinako asked softly. "Winry you need to eat."

" I'm not hungry." Winry replied stubbornly.

"Fine." Pinako said shortly. " Be a stubborn ass and don't eat. I don't care. But Ed and Al will be here in an hour. Maybe they'll get you to eat." she said that last part quietly, so Winry wouldn't hear. But she didn't. She just went on tinkering with her automail. But she stopped when she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. She turned around and there he was. No automail just that cocky grin and those brilliant gold eyes. He looked at her with those eyes and her heart melted. As if sensing they needed to be alone Pinako left the room. He looked at her again and her heart melted. He inclined his head toward her and said one word.

"Hey." Even though it was foolish and crazy, and only one word, her heart was his.
