Okay, this is my first story so I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just giving this a shot so please don't lose your shit at me. Thanks xx

I swear to myself quietly as I'm tying my hair back in a long ponytail with a thin elastic band, weaving my fingers through thick, long blonde hair. I'm still pretty pissed off that Winry had to have some flu or something. I normally wouldn't care but I've still got exams to study for that I need to sit for next week seeing that I'm still in college after all… I'm still making weak attempts of trying to smooth out my hair to make myself look… presentable. I scowl in disgust just thinking of dressing nicely for an interview that isn't even mine.

Winry. She's my roommate. Though I've said it before, I'm still really pissed off that she had to be 'sick'. I'll do anything for her though, she's like a sister. So I volunteered to help her present some industrial stuff I've never heard about and I also don't give a shit. Still thinking of those exams, Winry is going to owe me a lot for what I'm doing for her but I can just imagine her nagging voice; "Ed! I don't need to owe you anything! We're like brother and sister so we help each other out!" I slightly frown knowing that she is completely correct how she is always the one winning the arguments (along with my brother…).

I walk out of the bathroom looking totally presentable and well dressed for a very formal occasion; White dress shirt with black suit pants. Oh, I also threw in a chestnut coloured trench coat to add to the 'look'. As I'm walking down the hallway, I'm thinking about what I should say to Winry like "have fun staying at home as I'm doing your work." Or "I can't believe I'm giving up my precious study time for this interview." But I stop and start to instantly feel bad when I see that Winry isn't looking like her normal self. I mean, she looks really sick just slouching on the dark leather couch.

"Hey Ed…" she mumbled in a croaky voice. I start to feel really bad. "I'm sorry I have to put all my work onto you. It's just that it took me nearly a whole year just to get this interview. I mean yeah, it seems weird for me to work in such a proper place rather than working as a mechanic but I wanted to try out some new things." I sigh and nod letting her to continue speaking. "It then takes another 6 months to make a proper timetable and by then, we've already graduated. So just do this for me. Please."

Her throat is all raspy and dry sounding but still manages to look better than most people when their sick even though her hair is sticking out in different directions and you can see dark purple bags underneath her blue eyes with a red nose from blowing her nose too much.

"Winry…" I start and she looks up. "You're looking really ill and I just wanted to ask if you wanted any medicine. Tylenol?" I suggest.

"No, I want Nyquil, please." Winry says and I snort. As I'm walking to find medicine, Winry's suddenly loud voice makes me jump. "Oh, Ed! Wait. Here are the papers for the questions you'll be asking Mr. Mustang for me. Be sure to also jot down notes as well."

"Well, this guy better be really interesting or it won't be worth the long trip." I say while rolling my eyes. "Maybe I should pretend I'm sick so neither of us would have to go."

"Ed!" Winry scowled then blowing her nose. "If you act like that around him, you'll give him the wrong idea! Also, you should really get going now. You'll look bad if you're late."

Only for you, Winry, only for you…

I sling my messenger bag over my shoulder and look over my shoulder seeing Winry looking back at me with a warm smile. "Oh, and Winry, you should get a lot of rest if you want to get better fast. There's also last night's leftovers in the fridge."

"Thanks Ed, I will." Winry promised. "Have a safe trip and before you go, there's one more thing you should know."

I stop in my tracks and turn around with my eyebrow raised. "And what's that…?" I ask.

"Rumours say that Mr. Mustang is really attractive so don't get too nervous around him." Winry teases and my face goes bright pink.

"You- I'm not even into guys!" I sputtered feeling my face cool down a little bit. "You know what? I should get going now. Don't want to be late, huh?" I say and walk towards the door unlocking it and stepping out.

"He's single as well!" I hear Winry shout before slamming the door shut and locking it feeling my face heat up again.

How was that for my first go, huh? I've already planned ahead so it won't take too long to update. :)
