I randomly got inspiration for this at 3 am.
It is true: All artists and writers get all the good ideas late at night and/or early in the morning.
Fortunately, I had some pieces of paper and a pen next to me.
"Mhm... Whadamizet..." Edward mumbled a bit after he woke up, a failed attempt to say 'what time is it'.
He didn't even remember the last time he slept like this- he felt fresh as a new egg, completely rested, and a little numb. He looked outside of the window; the sky was dark blue, the sun apparently hadn't rised yet.
"Wow, it's early." he noted, practically talking to himself since no one else was in the room. He smiled widely.
"I have time to do anything I want then!"
He got out of the bed, throwing the sheets on the floor. He ignored them and went down to the kitchen. A good day starts with a good breakfast!
He entered the kitchen, and his jaw almost fell on the floor. Al and Winry were already up?
"Ah, Ed!" said Winry once she saw him. "You're resurrected!"
Ed blinked. "What?"
"Brother," Alphonse answered, "it's a quarter past eight in the evening. We thought you died and were talking about where to hide the body and what to do with your things."
Winry giggled, but Ed wasn't really amused.
"Evening, you said?"
"Yes." Al and Winry answered in unison.
"I could swear it was morning..." he mumbled and shruged.
"Oh well, I'm hungry."
Winry shook her head and sighed.
"Let's see... Salad, cheese, milk... ew... chicken, pie, ...what is this?"
"Oh, I made that!" Winry said excitedly, a light blush on her cheeks.
Something Edward never realised was why Winry liked cooking so much; he never thought she was the kind of girl that would like that. Apparently, though, she liked cooking oil just as much as machine oil.
He looked at 'that', then at Winry, then at 'that' again.
"It must taste pretty bad." he said.
Next thing he knew, he was on the floor, bleeding, a wrench on his head.
Because of this incident, Edward and Alphonse learned that you must never insult a woman's cooking.
It would have been nice if Ed had not learned it the hard way, though.
:D I actually find it decent for something made at 3 am!
If this is when they are kids, post-chapter 108/episode 64, or in the middle of the series (either mangaverse or animeverse), I don't know. I wrote it with them being kids in mind, but everything works.
Don't worry, dear reviewers, I am working on Fullmetal Genderbend! I'll finish the first chapter.
... Eventually.
