(A/N) I think this is my first EdWinry that's an AU... (haha for people who don't read much fanfiction that probably made no sense at all huh?) Anyway this one is just to keep me from getting incredibly bored... seriously... I don't know what it's about except that it's an EdWinry AU...(did I say that already) Welllll time to wing it! (as always)
You know, if you stare at a clock too long, after awhile you can't even tell time anymore. Or maybe that's just me.
Anyway... gosh this is boring... the most boring summer ever. Seriously WHAT has happened that's any good? Really I just sit here all day and-
Something I saw out of the corner of my eye outside the window caught my attention. It was a girl... no wait that's a guy... I think.
I continued to gawk wondering who it was... and I was even more curious about what gender it was. Hm... a new friend perhaps... I thought about all of my stupid friends who had ditched me. Damn Maria, damn Sheska, damn them all.
As I was condeming my friends to hell in my head one by one, I watched boxes and junk be moved into the house next door. I was really begining to wonder if it even had a gender when my mother started nagging me about something.
"Winry!" she yelled again.
"Wh-what?" I said dazed.
"We have new neighbors and I want to go over to welcome them to the neighborhood. I believe they have... kids your age."
I looked out the window again, she didn't know either did she.
"Who knows," she continued "maybe you could be friends with them. Besides, aren't you always complaining because your friends are gone for the summer?"
She had a point. What did I have to lose. "Alright I'll go." I said lazily.
-
"Al!" I yelled trying to get my brothers attention "Yo, Al!"
"What brother?" he yelled back at me from the ground.
I jumped down from the tree I'd climbed. "The moving truck is here to bring us our stuff. They were right up the street, go tell mom they finally made it." He rushed off.
I guess living in this city wouldn't be so bad right? I mean its a nice house, nice weather. I looked around observing my surroundings. I guess change isn't so bad after all-
I stopped as I saw some girl in the window next door. She was staring at me. I pretended not to care, the last thing I needed was some freakish stalker next door.
After we removed everything from the truck and were unpacking things.
Geez it's hot, I feel like I'm melting. After running up and down the stairs and carrying boxes I was tired. "Shit" I said taking off my shirt "I need rest." I heard a knocking on the door and opened it figured my mom and brother were back from the store and they'd lost the key already.
It wasn't them.
-
My mom got a call from one of her best friends so she sent me along without her.
Let me tell you, that genderless thing next door, definately had a gender.
Without a doubt, he was a guy.
I unconciously found myself looking him up and down. My gawd he's hot... Wait what the hell am I thinking? I pushed the thought away.
"Uh... hello." he said kind of awkwardly. Suddenly I realized I was checking him out and I quickly directed my eyes back towards his face.
"Hello." I said trying to sound normal, as I put my hands on my cheeks in a sad attempt to cover up my blushing. "I live next door and um... uh... well... welcome... bye." I turned to walk away but he stopped me. "Hey wait."
I looked at him. "I'm Edward Elric." he smiled.
"Winry Rockbell." I replied cheerily.
-
And that's how it all started. That's how I met Ed, the best friend I think I'd ever had.
During the school year, he and his brother Alphonse, whose one year younger than us, go away to boarding school. On occasion they'd come home on holidays, but from september to may, email was pretty much it.
When summer came around however, we were practically inseperable. I didn't care anymore that I didn't go on trips like my friends, I had Ed and Al.
Everyday was a new adventure, and everytime september came around it was a sad goodbye. Even though I didn't see him much, Edward was always in my thoughts. Just something wouldn't forget about him. Not that I wanted to... but for some reason it seemed ... well... a little unusual I guess.
It was summertime again and I woke up excited that morning. I got dressed quickly and scarfed down some breakfast.
"Winry, calm down!" my dad exclaimed "My gosh what's wrong with you?"
"First day of summer." my mother sighed.
"Aha." my dad pretty much understood and handed me the car keys "When is their train going to arrive?"
I took the keys thankfully from him "Ah around 11." I drank my glass of milk.
He looked at his watch. "Eleven o' six." he read.
I gagged on my milk and raced out of the house cursing the whole way.
-
"Right on time." Ed was leaning up against the wall.
"But.." I panted "It's eleven thirty."
"I know I just got here. That's why I said eleven." he grinned.
I stuck my tongue out at him then suddenly realized something. He was TALLER than me. He was a good four inches taller than me. He had to have grown eight inches over the school year.
But that wasn't all. The school year was good to him, believe me. He was totally sexy. I mean I thought he was hot back when we were twelve (he was quite the well toned preteen might I add) but this... wow.
He saw my look of confusion and said "Yeah Al ditched us for some trip thing through school. He wont be back until August."
Normally I would be pissed at Al for breaking our awesome tradition of hanging out together... but at the moment I was a little preoccupied.
"What?" he said as I gawked.
Yes, he was that blind. Blindly unaware of how he'd changed.
He looked at me again "Did you shrink?" I looked at his stomach wondering if he had a six pack. "Hello Winry?!" He yelled in my ear.
Oh crap what am I thinking?? I scolded myself. It was that first summer all over again, I swear.
"Sorry, you just look really different." I tried not to sound too amazed.
"Soo..." Ed said as we walked toward my (okay well my parents) car. "How was graduation?" he inquired.
Then it hit me. We just graduated from highschool. Meaning... what was next?
Was this really our last summer together?
I squinted my eyes trying to keep from crying. The summers were my most fond memories, and I didn't want them to end.
"Winry? What's wrong?" Ed stopped walking.
"Let's just..." I took a deep breath and smiled "make this the best summer ever okay?"
And so it began...
(A/N) SOOOO... did you like it? Review! PLEASE! Yeah I'll probably just update this whenever I'm bored (which is quite often) But really, did anyone actually like it?
