That Broken Promise

by taberune

When the alchemist and the mechanic were young, a promise was made between the two. Years later, one of them seems to have forgotten it, whilst the other clings onto it like a drowning person would cling onto a float ring. Will the broken promise be amended?

1. Prologue: The Promise

A/N:

Yes, I know I have a bunch/one or two unfinished fanfics, but I sometimes need to have the 'feels' for the shipping. Like, special ones to spur me to write fanfics about them.

I know for a fact that I haven't finished my GregorxLuxa one, but for now, here is an EdWin.

Prologue – The Promise

The two six-year-olds based in the twisted yellow light of the tall metal streetlamp. The girl stood beside the kneeling boy with crossed arms. "Ed!" She cried. "Let's go home!"

Edward Elric shook his head. "Just a second. I'm almost done." A large smile spread across his small face as the chalk circle he'd been drawing was completed. He placed is hands on it carefully and the girl's eyes widened as a flash of bright blue light glowed.

"Here you go, Winry!" The Elric brother handed her the stone ring. "It's a promise ring," he announced proudly.

"What is it promising?" Winry asked, hunger pangs and thoughts of dinner forgotten.

The young alchemist blushed (a rare sight to see) and told her quietly. "When we grow up we won't marry ANYONE else but each other."

Now it was Winry's turn to blush. She stuttered out a thank you and slipped the ring onto her index finger.

The boy and the girl walked home together.

A/N:

That was just the prologue, so definitely short, but more chapters are coming up.

Please review and tell me what you think about it so far!
