A/N: This is a random short story I wrote for a free write in English. So I make no claims that it is good or original. (shrugs) Enjoy anyway.

Home is different things to different people. It's their bedroom or their favorite things. It's being with people you care about to others. This is true for most people. For Edward Elric home was a few people, not a certain place. His brother, his aunt Pinako, and a certain Winry Rockbell. She was always helpful, friendly, and caring. She was also always ready to give him a good talking to if he did something stupid.
Boy was he in for it this time. He rubbed his forehead as if he had already been struck by her faithful wrench. Edward sighed and his brother, Alphonse, turned to look at him. Looking at Ed he couldn't help but smile at his brother's doomed look.
"Don't worry Ed. I'm sure she'll take it easy on you this time." Alphonse tried to get his brother to cheer up.
"Al, this is Winry we're talking about. She'll take one look at my arm or lack there of and kill me!" Ed's voice rose and he looked terrified at the very thought. He then dropped his head into his hands and moaned. Al shook his head at his brother and looked out the window at the scenery zooming past.
"Well brother, that's too bad. I'll really miss you. Oh and look we're already at the station." Ed sat straight up and looked out. He prayed to any and all gods that Winry hadn't come to the station. That way he'd have a little longer to come up with a plan to hide his obviously missing arm. Unfortunately she was there and looking at the windows for them.
Al grabbed before he could make a run for it. He drug him to the door and was almost out when Ed grabbed the door frame. When Winry saw Al pulling at something or, she suspected, someone she went to help. "Hey Al. What's with Ed?" When he heard her voice he froze and Al was able to finish dragging him off the train.
Ed stood up and turned around slowly as Al took a step back. "Hey Winry. There's nothing wrong with me. Just a little tired that's all." He gave a nervous smile that Winry returned with a real one. That is until she noticed his dangling sleeve. Ed braced himself for the explosion as her face turned stormy. Al tried to hide his smirk.
"Edward Elric, what did you do to my automail?!" she screamed. "You destroyed it again! Why do I even bother anymore?!" Everyone in the station turned toward the commotion. There stood a fuming girl and boy knocked out on the ground with a dent in his head. She must have struck him pretty hard with the wrench shining in her hand.
"Al grab him and let's go." As Al picked him up and Winry stalked to the car all the dazed Edward Elric could think was of how good it felt to be home.
A/N: So pretty basic hinted EdWin fluff. Oh well. Read and review Please!
