Well, I wanted to write something in English even if I'm from Finland, so be sensible.
I have always wondered how my life would be if Ed would live with me, and I wanted to share my little funny fantasies with everyone. Please read and tell what you think! This is my first English fanfiction, but not my first story.
I'm looking for a BETA, so if you're interested, please send me an e-mail or tell it in your review!
A Finnish Dream
Hi. I'm going to tell you how my biggest dream became true, and, shattered to million pieces. A real dream can't be called a dream if it comes true, right?
It was a warm summer afternoon when it all started. I was lying on my bed, reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, only half-understanding what I read. My room was messy as always; clothes, bags and towels all around the floor, walls covered in posters and a desk full of papers. My dad always told me to clean up, but I just turned him down with a:"My room's in 'controlled mess'-state, if I clean it up, I won't know where everything is."
Still, even in that 'controlled mess', you could always tell what my obsession was: Anime and manga. Especially Fullmetal alchemist and my only true love, Edward Elric. "I will die being a single and virgin", I told myself, but my heart wouldn't change its target: Edward Elric was all I could think about when I was awoke and sleeping. 24/7 only Ed, and it didn't help at all that my posters were of him. But I didn't even try to forget him, why should I? I knew he's there somewhere, only on the other side of the Gate. Yeah, now you think I'm gaga or something, but the next thing will make you wet your pants...
As I told, I was reading, and then, out of nowhere, a golden light flashed and disappeared as fast as it appeared. First I thought someone, maybe my dad was playing with the lights, but I found out that it was far away from that: In the middle of my messy room laid an amber-eyed, blond-haired teenage boy looking very, very confused. And what was my first reaction? I can tell you, it wasn't the brightest one at all. I screamed like I girl –wait, I am one- and threw a pillow at him without thinking. When I started thinking clearly, I turned red all over my face. He was Edward Elric, now standing in my room, surrounded by posters of him. Hell, in every one of them read something like: "I love you" "My little alchemist" "Forever mine" and such. I opened my mouth, closed it and opened it again, gaping like a fish. There he was, without a shirt and in those tight, smexy leather pants, looking around and then staring at me like I was an idiot.
"Excuse me, Where am I?" Ed asked, brows raised and I sighed because of his lovely voice. It took a moment from me to understand what he had asked, because I was staring at his muscular chest. When his question sunk, I cursed to myself. How could I explain? 'Oh yeah, you're in the year 2007, in a country called Finland with a mad fan within the same room. Let's have sex.' No, that would not work.
"Uh... You aren't Edward Elric, are you?"
I didn't know if Ed was surprised 'cause I knew him or 'cause I really talked, but he still nodded and I was like 'Omg, what to do, what to do?' but Ed saved me from my thoughts.
"You know, I asked a question", Ed repeated, now a little irritated by my stupidity.
"Uhh, try to believe me, okay?" I said and got a raised brow from Ed, but I continued anyways.
"You're in Finland", I saw from Ed's face that he didn't believe me, "and in a different world. Here such a country as Amestris doesn't exist" Yay, now Ed thought I'm insane. What a good start of friendship. "Oh, and it's year 2007." Now Ed looked like he didn't know if he should cry or laugh. He laughed, even thought this was far from funny.
"So, I'm here again." That woke me up. He has been here before? Doesn't that mean he's now 16? Oh my, he's maybe really broken down now, even if he didn't show it. He has just lost everything and got
transferred to a different world. Ed probably saw the pity in my eyes and looked away, opening his mouth to speak.
"Why do you know about Amestris?" His voice got stronger at the end and I gulped without noticing. What should I say? Would it be better to lie or tell the truth? 'Yeah, there's a really popular anime and manga made of you so like everyone knows you and what you did'.
"Ed", he looked at me kinda surprised because I used his nickname already, "before I say something else, I'd like to say this:" I got Ed's full attention and I blushed a little. His eyes were so beautiful, yet so full of power and most of all, sadness. "Al is alive, Ed. He's a human again", I regretted that immediately after saying it, because Ed looked first surprised, and then angry. But I just couldn't stand that sad look in his eyes.
"And how you could know? How you even know about Ametris or me and Al? Who you think you are, saying things like that!" Ed's eyes were flashing dangerously and I pressed my back against the wall. He looked even more terrifying in reality than in TV when he snaps.
"Please, calm down. I'll explain if you just listen", I spluttered and he calmed down, but only a little.
"Our technology is developed way further than yours, and for example TV and internet shares really much information of almost everything you can think of ", Ah, Ed didn't understand a word, "I'll show you", I sighed and got up from my bed, smiling a little. I grabbed the pillow from the floor, saying 'sorry' and pointing at it. I threw it to the bed and realized something.
"Ah! I haven't told my name! I'm Sari Virta, nice to meet you." It wasn't hard to notice that I tried to loosen the mood a little; angry Edward wasn't the one I wanted to be with. The room next to us was the TV room, living room was further in the house. First Ed ignored the weird-looking black box but when I switched it on, he startled because of the sudden sound of The Rasmus' music video. (The Rasmus is actually a Finnish band.)
"This is what we call a TV. I really don't know how it works, but with this you can look different channels. Every channel shows different information", I tried to explain. I felt like I was telling to a 1-year old how to wipe his mouth. It felt so stupid to speak about 'information', but I thought that would be the easiest word to understand. Because if you remember, Ed lived in 1920. Luckily I've got the recording digibox and the first ten episodes of FMA recorded in it.
"Help yourself and sit down. Could you take off your shoes, please?" I tried to be friendly and, without thinking, selected the episode 1. I noticed my mistake when two little boys appeared to the screen. 'Oh shit', I thought and tried to switch it off, but the battery of the remote control was almost empty. Soon there was screaming of young boys and a terrible breathing noise. I went pale and looked at Ed, who endured all that really well, maybe because it was in a cartoon's form. His eyes were as hard and cold as steel, but nothing else of him showed that he had been the one experiencing that horrible event.
"I'm sorry. I'm terribly sorry, I didn't mean to show that, I...", I tried to explain, but everything sounded so stupid in my ears. What kind of idiot shows to someone his/her the most dreadful nightmare?
"So... Everyone knows everything about me?", Ed asked in a toneless voice, his throat probably as dry as desert. Now Ed was chasing Al and the video's mood was much happier, but it left a bitter taste in my mouth for the first time.
"I don't think so. But this is maybe the most popular anime in the whole world, so..." I didn't want to continue, but I needed to do something because Ed's face tore my heart apart.
"And the anime ended years ago. That's why I can tell you that Al is alive, but he's in a 10-years old body and doesn't remember anything from the time he spent in that armor", and I screwed up again. It must really hurt to know that Al didn't remember anything from their quest.
"But he's living with Rockbells, he'll survive." How I always ruin people's moods even if I try to make them smile?
"So... What are you going to do?" I asked hesitantly and Ed looked at me, taken aback. He hadn't thought about that, I could tell it from his face.
"I'll move forward", he said and I fought against an urge to laugh. He'll move forward even this situation? I have always admired his determination, but that sounded just so... U know?
"Please Ed, think a little further. You don't know this world, you just can't go and try to think about something to do. You won't survive that way. Tell me what's the answer for this: -3a-5b+10a?", I wanted to laugh at the question. That was so easy one (by the way, I love math), and Ed didn't understand it at all.
"See? In this world every 13-years old child would know the answer." I tried so hard not to sound malicious, but it was a little too hard for me.
"Then what are you telling me to do?" Ed spat out and I startled a little. Okay, take a deep breath and explain it firmly. Easier said than done.
"Well... uh... Ifyouwantyoucouldstayhereuntilyouknowwhatyouwilldo."
"I didn't catch that." Ed said, a little amused by the speed of my speech. (A/N: speed of my speech… lol.)
Damn! I blushed and started again. "I think it would work out somehow if ... you ... wanted to stay here for a while." There. Now it was understandable, but my voice was still as high pitched as a siren.
To my surprise, Ed didn't turn my idea down right away. He thought about it and nodded, for god's sake!
"You do have a point. I'd like stay, but only if it's really okay with you. Do you live here alone?"
Oh my. That's right, I did have parents and if I knew even a little about them, they would not like to have a foreign boy in the same house with their horny teenager daughter.
"I live with my parents, but my mom is busy with work so she doesn't come home so often and dad... He's a little off sometimes, but still okay. He goes to work too and now he's in France because of his work. If I remember right, he won't return until next Monday... It's a good thing, really. We'll have a whole week to think about a good explanation why you are staying here. I'm just curious, does your alchemy work?" Ed shook his head to my question.
"I know it didn't work then, but just try, please? I'll get you something to transmute", I said and disappeared before Ed could say anything. A little while after I came back with a broken crystal horse in my hands.
"I broke it by an accident, but I don't have the heart to throw it away. Could you fix it? I won't blame you if alchemy doesn't work", I said and held the broken pieces in my hands, while Ed was examining them. Hesitantly he clapped his hands and pressed them to mine, and to our surprise, a flash of blue light appeared. First Ed looked surprised and I was open-mouthed like a fish, but then he started smiling.
"Whoa. That was awesome." I looked at the fixed crystal horse and, without thinking, kissed him to the cheek. Both of us turned to a bright shade of red and I mumbled 'Thanks' before vanishing to my room. There was a sound of tearing paper when I tore the posters from the walls.
When I came back, I tossed a white T-shirt to him, still blushing a little.
"Here. You can have it; it's too big for me anyways." When Ed only looked at me, I continued:"Please put it on. You're half-naked." He hadn't realized it until now!
"I'll show you around the house", I said when he was done. Part of me wanted to rip that shirt off because I loved to look at him, but then I'd only want to touch him... From many places. Cough.
I walked straight forward and opened the door to the computer room.
"This is my computer room. That one is broken", I pointed at it, "but those two work just fine." Now I pointed first an old computer and then a laptop.
"You'll probably sleep in here in that couch, or if you want, (cough) you can sleep with me in my room." We both blushed, and without saying anything I continued the tour. Soon I was done, but here are some parts of our conversations:
In workroom:"Please wash your hands before you touch the piano, I don't want to see any fingerprints in it." -"Huh?"
In kitchen: "Eat what you want, but if you feel unsure, ask me before you take it. My family can be a little sensitive about food." -"Okay..." "Oh, and do not touch the wines." -"I'M UNDERAGE!"
In bathroom:"When you turn this, you can pick up what kind of adjustment you want. I think there are seven of them, including champagne-shower and massage, but please, just ask me to massage you if you need it, water is more expensive." -"Uh... Okay..." "No need to blush! I'm not asking you to undress yourself, I can massage trough clothes. But I won't, if you don't even ask."
After our little tour around my house Ed looked like he doubted that this was a good idea. I can't imagine the reason why, though...? I had given to Ed the world map and showed where we were. Now he was scanning trough our massive bookshelf, what wasn't a surprise for me. He had always read all the information from books, so why to change that habit now?
There was a bark from the backyard and I swore under my breath. I had forgotten about the dog. Hope it doesn't eat Ed... It didn't look so convincing, but it was wild and pretty dangerous when it wanted to be.
"Uh.. Ed? I forgot to tell you that I have a dog and I'm letting it in now. It'll probably jump on you, so just pet it and let it calm down. It's about Den's size and called Bert." Ed looked pretty uncertain about what he would soon face.
I went to open the door and then a black, big poodle rushed towards Ed and jumped at him. Even if it's a poodle, it's still heavy and pretty powerful. Never heard of what a policeman once told about poodles? I doubt you have. Here we go:
'"Poodles would be wonderful police dogs because of their power, speed and intelligence, but we still want our criminals alive; If they see that a poodle is chasing them, they'll die in laughter."'
"Are you all right?" I asked carefully and Ed groaned under Bert's weight.
"Beert, let Ed be. Come here, boy." Bert came to me wagging its tail and I looked at Ed who was now on the floor. "I'm sorry, but once Bert has done that, it will never happen again. But I warned you, didn't I?" I said, holding out a hand to help him up. He nodded and took my hand, getting up with my help. But, of course I pulled too strongly and he came towards me, not getting his balance back in time. Now he was really close to me, I could feel his warm body against mine... Scared of my feelings I back up in the same time as Ed. Oddly, our hands didn't part away.
"I'm sorry, I pulled too hard... You were lighter than I expected..." I said, blushing, and pulled my hand away.
"It's okay", Ed said, but I could see the red shade on his cheeks. He picked up the world map and started examining it again, probably to forget about that little accident. I respected his will to be left alone and went to the kitchen. A glass of water cleared my head a little and I started examining the situation. My dreams came true, but now, I felt really unsure what to do. I wanted him, in many ways, but rushing would drive him away. ... My looks would drive him away anyway.
I was told that I'm pretty, but how could I believe that? When I looked at the mirror, I saw a boring child face with scars from pimples in her forehead, long, brown hair and green(with a little gray) eyes. How I
hated my face. There were nothing else wrong with my body: I got an athletic form; long muscular legs, good bearing, muscular arms, long thin fingers(pianist's hands) and my stomach was flat without any unnecessary fat. My breasts were okay too. Just the damn baby face.
Bert came next to me, wagging its tail. I leaned forward to pet it.
"It's time to go for a walk, right?" I thought about Ed. "Ed! I could show you around the town if you want!" I got an 'okay' from him and happily I pulled my shoes on. It was way more fun to go a walk with someone than alone. Soon Ed came to the lobby with his shoes in hand, looking out of the window.
"It's summer, you can go out like that, if that's what you're thinking about", I said and smiled at him.
"It's not that... This place is just so peaceful... Like Rizembul." What could I say to that? I just opened the door and stepped outside without a word with a smile on my lips.
We talked about lots of things, mostly about this world. He didn't mention Amestris and I didn't push the subject. When an airplane crossed the sky, he startled because of the voice and looked up.
"Was that... a plane?"
"Yeah... There are even some airplanes that fly faster than sound."(sound 1238,4km/h, 344m/s) Ed looked at me like I told a really bad joke, but when I didn't laugh, he just turned his head away and tried to melt that information.
One week later
We could call ourselves friends now and I had realized how much I enjoyed just to be with him. (I had also forgotten why I should treat him with respect.) His smile melted my heart and when he would laugh at my joke, I went to a dreamland. Wait, wasn't I in one already?
My friend was coming today and I had cleaned the whole house with Ed's help. She would arrive in 10 minutes and Ed had gone to the shower when I should be the one being there!
"ED! Hurry UP!" I shouted, banging the door furiously. Damn!
"Sorry, but this will take a while..."
"THAT'S IT! I'M COMING IN, LIKE IT OR NOT!" Only towel covering my naked body I went in, and even if I wanted to peek at him, I acted like he didn't even exist.
"You know, that's a little disturbing", he mumbled and I blushed. Was he watching me right now?
"It's your fault for going to shower at a time like this", I said and left my towel to the rack.
"Yeah, but still..."
"GEEZ ED, you're supposed to be a man, so stop acting like a goddamned chibi-child", without thinking I turned my head towards him. "WHAT?!" was the next thing I heard and then he turned around with fury. There we were, naked in the bathroom and Ed seemed to realize this almost as fast as I did. BUT, sometimes your eyes are faster than your mind. Luckily Ed saw only my back, but he had turned around 180°, so my view was far better than his. Blushing, we both turned around and said nothing for a while.
"... Sorry. But you really need to learn how to hold your temper down."
"... Ah. I'm sorry too."
"Actually, I didn't mind at all." I said with a grin playing on my lips.
"HUUUH?" Was what I got for a response. Okay, I shouldn't have said that. Giggling, I took the shampoo and started washing my hair, forgetting all about my friend... Because I had something else in my mind. SUCKS TO BE YOU, other Ed-fans! I saw something that you never will!
Silence overcome us, only the voice of running water was heard along the occasional steps. I really wanted to ask something from Ed, but I didn't know if I would dare to.
"Ed... I... could you probably..." But then the fucking doorbell rang.
"DANG IT!" I swore and stormed out of the shower, the balsam still in my hair, leaving a troubled Ed to stare at the wall.
"Ah, I'm sorry...! Could you wait in my room until I'm done with the shower, please?" My friend agreed (what else could she do than agree when I appear in front of her in a towel?) and I went back.
"Uh... What was that you wanted to ask from me a little while ago?" Ed asked and I wasn't so sure if I should tell him at all. 'Let's give it a try!' I thought.
"I just wondered... if... you'd want to wash my back?"
"WHAT?!" Okay, he didn't take it so well.
"Well, it's kinda hard to do it by yourself, you know... so, please?" I tried to sound normal, but one part of me wanted to giggle nervously.
"HELL NO." I giggled and turned the running water off, leaving him alone in the shower. I knew that I shouldn't tease Ed, but it was so much fun. He's a kindhearted guy, really. He won't get angry at you nor hurt you physically or mentally, just snaps and then sulks on his own. It's hard to believe how much he's been through, so sweet and caring guy he is from inside. Of course he has his temper and cold defensive shell around him, but that is just to protect him from all the things he has witnessed. Without that shell he would be insane.
The hairbrush in my hand was long forgotten and I was staring blankly at the mirror, deep in my thoughts. Sighing, I placed the brush on the table and closed my eyes, taking support from the wall with my left hand. ... I'm such an idiot, really. I'm dreaming about Ed, but when I discuss my chances in my mind, I realize that he doesn't deserve me. Maybe Winry, his child-time friend, would be better. Only if he gets the change to go back to Amestris.
I hit my head to the wall with a loud thump, but not in grief(well, maybe a little), but in guilt. Of course he will go back, in any way possible! He belongs to Amestris, next to his loving brother and Winry. It must be terrible to be apart from loved ones on the other side of the Gate, worried sick because of his brother's condition. Does Ed ask himself over and over again 'Is Al alive? And does he really have his body back?' It's surprising how he can even smile and laugh. He's strong, but it was never unexpected. After seeing death, misery and such things as he has, you can't be anything else than strong if you want to stay sane.
"Is something wrong?" His worried voice reached my ears and I startled, almost losing my balance. It was a good thing that I was taking support from the wall.
"Everything's fine." I said with a muffled voice, suddenly not daring to look at his golden eyes. I didn't know if I would burst into tears if I looked directly at him, so I stared at the room's corner and shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. My friend had probably gone home and wouldn't talk to me in ages what didn't make me feel better at all, but in the other hand I wasn't in the mood to laugh and babble with someone right now.
"C'mon, I'm not blind. Is this because of the shower-thing or is this something else?" His voice was so full of caring and worry, and all I could do was stare at a spider web in the corner, fighting the lump in my throat. How kind a man can be?
"I'm fine, really." I tried to keep my voice stable and then turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist and I looked at him, shocked. When my eyes met his, I tried to pull away and laid my gaze at the spider wed again. "Please, let go." My voice wasn't more than a silent whimper.
"I won't, until you tell me what's going on. You look like someone has died." He gently pulled my wrist towards him and I let a sigh escape from my lips.
"I doubt you want my pity. So, please let go." I tugged my hand and turned my wrist, but to my surprise, he didn't let go. Finally I raised my eyes from the corner and met his insignificant golden orbs staring at me. His mouth opened to speak.
"... If that makes you feel better, then maybe I could listen." My eyes widened. He has to know what I was thinking and still he didn't care if I would remind him about his painful past, about his brother and everything else what has been taken away from him. I had always thought that I wouldn't cry easily, but now the warm, salty tears leaked from my eyes and fell to the floor from my chin.
"How on earth can you still be so caring and kindhearted after all that you've been trough? Why are you caring for someone you hardly know, when you should be trying to find a way back to Amestris? I'm sure you're missing them, so why aren't you just trying to go back!" My voice was shaky and uncontrollable, and I almost screamed the last words, leaning against the wall and sliding down to the floor, gripping the white carpet with my shaking hands. Why on earth have I got to break down in front of him? This was so not like me. He hated to see people cry and he has got else things to do than watch a young teenager girl crying on the floor.
I couldn't see his expression, but I doubt he was happy; probably he was just blaming himself in all-too-kindly way of his, because a girl was crying in front of him.
He kneeled before me and placed a hand on top of my own, but I didn't raise my head to look at him, just sobbed on the floor, trying to regain control of myself. It looks like I didn't, because I hugged him without a second thought and squeezed tightly like my life depended on him. With a little lag he hugged me back, but it was just a friendly comforting without a real response from him. This just made me sob harder. He was still hiding himself behind that shell and didn't want to show his weakness. Maybe he unburdened his agony helping others and trying to keep them safe from the exact feelings he had. But it wasn't only that, he really was a caring person from the heart.
"I wonder if Winry has said this to you too... It's okay to share the burden with others." Hey, I wasn't the exactly right person to offer him this, or so I felt, but who else did he have now? To my surprise, he hugged me back with a new power and emotion and I buried my face to his warm chest, trying to get all the comfort from him what I could. His steady heartbeat calmed my own and slowly, my tears died down, drying to my pink cheeks. We stayed like that for a long time; at least it felt like an eternity to me. Heavenly eternity, if you want to be exact. We were only in our bathrobes, but we didn't notice this, or maybe we did, but it really didn't feel like the right time to think "Omg, let's do something pervented and then blush like crazy".
"... I do miss them, but... I don't want to take the risk and cross the Gate because of its deadly tricks. I can't be sure it won't take someone important to me if I try to go back, so I'll be more than happy to let them live in peace if I can pay their happiness by being here." His voice wasn't more than a whisper, but I heard it and bit my lover lip, trying to prevent from shedding tears anymore.
"So you will sacrifice everything important to you?" I asked, my voice starting to shake again, and it was hard to fight against the tears.
Ed was quiet for a while, before answering. "I think this is a rather fair trade. It would be worse. I'm not in hell, but in a different world where I can start over again and I don't need to fight anymore. When I look at the positive sides, I find many new chances I didn't have in Amestris and... I met you. It isn't all that bad in here." He rested his chin to my head and sighed, while I was biting my lover lip off.
"I'm glad to hear that. It's selfish to say, but I'm kinda lucky too. If I were in Amestis, you wouldn't even notice me." I said, making a laugh.
"I would like to deny that, but it might be true." With those words, I felt like our friendship had developed a little, and I think Ed did trust in me more now. I myself could leave my life in his hands, but that would be too much for him, because he himself had too much burden on his own without mine added to it.
Slowly it started to get dark, but I still didn't want to let go of him, I just wanted to be near him and breathe his scent, so I could remember it for the rest of my life. Some kind of snarling snapped me back to reality and first I wondered what it was, until I realized what that exact noise meant. I slowly backed away even if I didn't want to and smiled at him. "Come, let's see if there something to eat." Ed nodded and stood up, trying to keep his balance. We had been quite a while only sitting on the floor, so it's kinda understandable if his legs were stiff.
I told him to sit down and just stay there, I could handle this myself. I didn't doubt his skills, he actually can make delicious sandwiches and I don't believe it ends to that, but I kind of felt paying something back to him. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to "pay back", but one of the reasons is that I made him think about the past.
First I thought of doing only some sandwiches, but then I noticed the recipe of "köyhät ritarit"(eng. poor knights) and decided to make couple of them. I'm not sure of the poor knights' origin, but they are bread slices dipped in milk, egg and some spices and then fried in pan. It's fast, easy and good, so why not to do them?
I gave an apple to Ed so he wouldn't starve to death and started cooking. It took only 10 minutes to make five of them and pleased with myself, I put them to a plate. I was going to give them to Ed, but then I got an idea and backed away. With a knife I cut the slices on the form of heart and put some jam on them. When I carried the plate to the table, my bathrobe's belt kinda... uh.. Loosened and I couldn't tighten it because my hands were full, so Ed had a good time looking at me. And 'cause I was an idiot, I didn't turn away, but put the plate to the table and then tied the belt again. And for god's sake, he didn't look away! At least he got his food, even if it was served with an unusual style.
"Liked the view?" I asked, grinning, and he looked away, all red from toes to ears. Ed chose to be more interested in the food in front of him than to answer my sarcastic question. He raised a brow to the heart-shaped delicacy before devouring it with amazing speed. I giggled even if I was a little hurt by his bad mannered eating habits, it looked like he didn't appreciate the taste at all. But of course, he was hungry...
I wasn't hungry myself, so I just watched and waited for him to finish, and I can say that I didn't have enough time to get bored.
"Thanks for the food, it was good", he said without looking at me. Sighing I said "my pleasure" and took the plate in front of him before he could take it to the other dishes. 'Good' was all I could get from him, because his grumpy basic character denied him to say any greater compliment. It's the same for me, though. I just can't say any compliment to anyone with ease, it feels so difficult and I don't even know the reason why.
The phone rang and I went to answer it, wondering who it would be. Maybe just one of those magazine sellers... At least I hoped so.
"Virtanen, Sari." I always answered like that if I didn't know the caller. First the surname, then my first name.
"Oh hi Sari! Been lonely?" I gulped. In the phone was no one else than...
"Hi dad. ... No, not at all. I've had lots of things keeping me provoked." I glanced at Ed and he grinned kinda nervously... No, I really can't say what that grin exactly kept inside. He's really hard to read sometimes.
"Ohhoh, you didn't keep one of those parties of yours? Had any guys invited?" I could easily imagine my dad grinning on the other end of the line. Goddamned lucky that Ed couldn't hear any of my dad's words.
"Shaddup. But, I do have a surprise for you when you come back." I said and Ed tilted his head a little.
"I can hardly wait. Till tomorrow, my darling."
"Uh. Tomorrow...? Yeah... Till then. See ya." Before he could response I shut the phone and looked at Ed who stopped half way through putting his hair to a high ponytail.
"I forgot that my dad is coming tomorrow! Start planning something out and fast!" I said and Ed sighed.
"I can't believe you..."
"Shuddup. I always forget the time when I've got good company. By the way, you look better with your hair tied on a ponytail than a braid." I said in a normal tone.
"Huh?"
"So... I'll say something like this to him: You're from Japan and came to visit your friend in Finland... Uh, not like that, maybe..." I started explain some really random stuff and Ed looked troubled.
"GODDAMMIT. What on Earth will we say? Tell the truth? That's maybe the best choice, but are you okay with it?" I really wanted to know Ed's opinion on this.
"Uh..."
"We won't tell anything more than necessary. Just that you are from Amestris and try to convince them. It's a good thing you can do alchemy, because they just have believe their own eyes, right? ... If you want show them, that is."
"I don't find any problems with it, so, sure." He smiled at me and I responded to it from the bottom of my heart.
"He'll probably ask you to help him with the garden, dishes and such too..." I said and tried to look sorry about it, but he just shrugged and told that it was okay.
"Well, now when that's solved, maybe we should get dressed... Ah, that reminds me. When dad comes home, I'll persuade some money from him and then we will go shopping. You can't always just transmute my old clothes for you." His face was worth seeing. He had probably gone shopping with Winry before, because he didn't look like he was happy about it. Of course I'll buy something for me too, but not that much... Maybe a shirt or five... I need a pair of new jeans too...
