A/N: hey guys! OK this is my first try at a oneshot. Al is comforting Winry after Ed dies.
Comforting Words after Death
Winry sat at the kitchen table; she couldn't seem to get her mind off of Ed.
'Why did he have to die? Why couldn't he find another way to bring Al back? I mean, I'm happy that Al is back, but I miss Ed.' She thought sadly. Just then Al came in the room.
"Hey Winry, what are you up to?" Al asked. Winry looked at him with defeat in her blue eyes. The anguish hadn't left her face since Ed died. Al noticed a tear fall down Winry's cheek. He walked over to her and hugged her.
"Winry it'll be ok. I'll bring Ed back, even if it costs me my life." Al reassured.
"How can you be sure?" she wondered softly, so softly in fact, that Al strained to hear it.
"I will bring him back, you can count on that. And trust me, I am sure, Izumi will teach me more alchemy and then I'll ring him back so we can be happy again." Al comforted.
"NO! I don't believe you! He's dead, and he'll stay dead." Winry trailed off after that. She didn't believe him huh?
"Winry, please believe me when I tell you this. Ed will come back, I'll make sure of it. Don't worry, even if I can't bring him back, he'll find a way; because he loves you Winry." Winry looked at Al wide eyed. The tears nearly stopped, and her heart sped up ten times. "That much I know for certain, he loves and would risk his life for you ten times over. Just believe that he will come back. Don't give up hope in that fact." Al finished. Winry looked down at her feet and more tears fell. For some reason, all her hope that Ed would come back; had been washed away. Like when tide comes in and takes some of the sand, the more it comes, the more it takes; and now all Winry's hope was washed away.
"But what if he can't? What if I lose the only-." Winry stopped mid sentence and looked up abruptly. She felt his presence, but how could that be? He was dead! Or maybe he was just on the other side of the gate. But if that was true, then maybe, just maybe, he would come back after all.
'Brother, what are you doing?' Al wondered suspiciously. He felt his presence also, so he was just doing this to get Winry to have faith? Well it was a smart plan, because it was working.
"Winry, just give Ed one more chance to find a way… hell give me one more chance to find a way. But just promise me one thing, never give up hope that Ed will come back." Al argued. Winry nodded weakly and looked into Al's eyes, she saw the determination; the fighting spirit.
"Ok Al, I'll keep my hope. Now go get to work on getting Ed back!" Winry cheered.
'Well good plan brother, now Winry can be happy.' And with that, Al went to work on studying his alchemy.
