Hot Water

Spoot: Ok, this is my first FMA fic...so I brought backup.

Ed: *waves*

Spoot: Say something Ed.

Ed: something.

Spoot: on with the fic.

Winry and Ed were two kids in there 17th year. They got along well enough, a spat from time to time, but who doesnt argue. When they would fight, It was over something silly, Like Ed not wanting to drink milk. or something sweet, Like Winry caring for Ed, a bit too much. But today, There was something else in the air.

The morning was normal. Al was setting the table, When Winry stepped in. "Good morning Winry!" Al chirped, "How did you sleep?" She grumbled something and sat at the table. Granny, A little old women in her 70's, looked up from her tobacco pipe and paper, to have a good look at her Grand-daughter. "Are you alright Winry?" She asked. "Yeah Granny, just didn't sleep much last night."

"Why not?" When Al asked this, Winry stiffens up. "Oh, no reason, just...hot in my room is all." She yelped out, her voice shaky. "Hmm, shouldnt be, a cool front came in last night." Said Granny. "OH SHUT UP YOU OLD BAT!" winry yelled.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLD!" Granny shouted back. Just then Ed came stumbling into the kitchen, rubbing his head and yawning. He was in his boxer shorts, and nothing more. "Why all the yelling?" He yawned. Wenry's face got hot, and when Ed looked her way, his face as well, turned red. they both looked away from each other. not wanting to make eye contact. "did something happen between you two?" Al asked. They both shook their heads vigorously.

But in fact, something did happen.

It was about 2AM, When Winry stepped into the bathroom. She was half asleep, and did not notice that the shower was running. She pulled down her underwear and began to urinate. Just then the shower stopped, with a familiar squeak, and drip or two. Out stepped Ed, naked as the day he was born. a towel covered his head, as he was drying his hair. he didn't see Winry. But she saw him. She was Eye level with "little" Edward, That wasnt so little. Her eyes widened, even the trickle stopped. she dare not move, but her eyes traveled upward. his body seemed different to her, she had seen him shirtless before, but this time...she really saw him. Drenched, and tone. his abs were solid, and his body riddled with scars, some, like his shoulder, were familiar. But others, now, were more visible. eyes traveled up more. She looked at his arms, tone and fit. he was still drying his hair.

"Like what you see?" He asked, but she dare not make a sound. "Of cores you do!" He snapped, rapping the towel around his waist. he pointed at the mirror, then gave himself a wink. Then, went pail, when he saw Winry on the toilet, in the mirror's reflection. his nose began to drip crimson liquid. he swivild around, "HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN HERE!" he shouted. She looked like a ghost. "Winry! GET OUT!" He shouted. she slowly reached over at the toilet paper, pulling it ever so sluggishly. she got a good amount, then stuck her hand between her legs, and began to rub. all the while, not taking her eyes off Ed. He looked at her task, as she performed it. his face got hot. She was rubbing herself...and he was half nakid...his eye twitched. "you're clean..." He huffed out. She stopped whipping her lower half. said nothing as she stood, pulled up her undergarment, and flushed the toilet.

"Ed..." She started. He said nothing. Just stood there with his hand gestured toward the door. "Right..." She said, then stepped out of the room. The door slammed shut, and Winry flinched when Ed let out a cry of total embarrassment.

Al looked up at Ed. "are you ok?" Ed looked over at the coffee pot, then at his brother. "Of corse. Al, do you have a train shedual? By chance?" Al, now back in his old body, did not in fact, have a Shedual. in the old days, he would keep it within himself. but now he was solid. He shook his head. "Damn." Ed hissed. "Why do you need a Train Shedual?" Asked Granny. "Leaving us already? You just got in last night."

Ed nodded. "We have some things we gatta take care of in Central." He said. "We do?" asked Al, and Ed promptly bonked his brother on the head. "yes...we...do..."

"OW! Why would you do that?!" Al Shouted. "Yeah, why?" Asked Winry. Ed looked her way. She was looking up at him. Her eyes were hurt, but masked over with her usual, anger. "Because." Said Edward. With that he left the room, most likely to go dress himself. and get ready to leave.

"Winry?" Al started, She looked passed him. "Whats going on?" She shook slightly. "are you ok?" Al asked. "Why does he want to leave?" She asked. "Thats what I would like to know. maybe he has an idea of some sort." Al responded. "No, he just got here. Already he wants to leave, his life isn't moving that fast." Said Granny. She tapped her pipe on the ash tray, then got up and collected her things, and left the room.

"Al, I gatta tell you something, and you gatta sware never...NEVER to repeat it, or I will...NEVER speek to you again!" Winry snapped. Al nodded. Winry explained to the young man the events of the night before. and Al listened without judgment. When she was done with her story, she said, "What do I do?"

"you tell him how you feel." Al said matter of factly. "WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" She shouted. "how do you come up with something like that?!" Al let out a sigh. "Its obvious. you like him, and you're attracted to him."

"Where do you get that!"

"Well, from the way you described...in...great...detail...his body. GROSS!" Al finished. "You're insane!" She snapped. Just then, Ed returned, fully dressed. suitcase in tote. "Al, I suggest you start packing..."

"We are not leaving Brother." he snapped, "And furthermore, you need to apologize to Winry." Ed looked dumbfounded. "Apologize? To Winry? For What?"

"I think you know." Said Al, then he too, left the kitchen.

"You're crazy Al! you hear me! Crazy!" Ed called after him. Then he looked over at Winry. "I have nothing to say to you. If anything, you should Apologize to me!" Winry scoffed. but nothing more. "Oh it's like that now, is it?" Ed snapped. "Yes," She began. "It's like that. How dare you."

"How dare I?" Ed shouted "What do you mean?!"

"You know what I mean Ed! Always running away." She said softly. Ed could only make a few little squeak noises. Then he lowered his head, a sign that She had won.

"Winry?"

"What?"

"I'm sorry."

Spoot: It's not over.

Ed: It's not?

Spoot: no, I wanna add more.

Ed: It's fine where it's at.

Duo: not by a longshot.

Spoot, Thank you? I think...anyway, I might add more, just hang in there. see what is to come.
