Chapter 1
"Edward, you didn't drink your milk." Upon hearing these words, Edward Elric froze momentarily before slowly turning around to face the speaker. Winry Rockbell stood by a quite empty plate, and a quite full glass of milk, her hand closed around a heavy looking wrench. Edward flinched and waited a moment before speaking. "Why should I? I hate milk." Ed's voice was filled with disgust as he retorted and he crossed his arms over his chest in defiance. Winry sighed before she spoke. "Edward Elric… you're sixteen years old and you're still the size of a 5th grader! You're going to stay short forever unless you drink it!" Ed's fists clenched at his sides and his face turned red from anger. "Who… WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING SHORT! I DON'T NEED TO DRINK THE DAMN MILK! IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUISNESS WHAT I DO ANYWAY! YOU'RE MY MECHANIC, NOT MY MOM!" Alphonse Elric's sigh echoed from inside his amour. "You two-" Al interjected before being cut off by two equal pissed off voices. "STAY OUT OF THIS AL!" Silence followed this, broken after a moment by Winry, this time talking in a gentler, but still mad, tone.
"Edward, I'm just concerned about your health." She glared at Ed before continuing.
"You're going to get hurt from your lack of calcium, and I'm not fixing your automail if it gets broken. You know, sometimes I don't even know why I bother with you!" Ed pouted and returned her glare.
"…Stupid gear head." Winry's calm was broken by this comment, and Ed smirked at her grimace.
"What was that? You better hope you can sleep with one eye open tonight!"
"Oh really? I think that maybe you should be the one saying that. Besides…" Ed's tone of voice changed and he blushed as he continued.
"I'm… uh… well, I'm, er, staying at Roy's house tonight…" Ed spun around after he spoke to hide his red face from Winry and Al, which also prevented him from seeing Winry's increasingly devious looking grin.
"Roy's house? You and Roy? I knew it!" Ed turned back around on his heel before Winry even finished talking.
"YOU KNEW? HOW THE HELL?" Winry chuckled at Ed's bewildered state.
"You're really a horrible liar, you know that? You come up with the worst excuses when you come home late and you always start blushing whenever you see him or we talk about anything related to him! It was obvious!" Winry could hear Ed puff hot air out of his nose in anger as he muttered.
"You're just jealous…" Winry blushed for a moment before regaining her calm and snorted.
"Of course I am. Of the little pip-squeak. You know, I bet Roy doesn't like guys who don't… DRINK THEIR MILK!" Ed jumped up and down in anger as he screamed.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY? WELL, IS THAT HOW YOU WANT THINGS? FINE, I'LL DRINK THE DAMN STUFF IF YOU DO ONE THING THAT I TELL YOU TO DO!" Winry laughed at Ed's immature bargain.
"Sure, Ed. I'll accept those terms. What am I doing?" Ed looked deep in thought for a moment before grinning deviously. He could kill two birds with one stone, embarrass Winry, and help a particular romantically challenged fellow military officer.
"If I drink the milk… you… have to ask out Havoc!" Winry jumped at Ed's terms and blushed.
"But… I, um… I like someone else…" Winry averted her eyes as her face turned red. Ed smirked at her embarrassed state.
"Oh, is that so Winry-Chan? Than who do you like? Hmm? It's someone I know, isn't it! I can tell from that look on your face!" Ed started to laugh but stopped when Winry started to speak.
"It's…. it's Al! I love Al!" Upon hearing this, the forgotten Elric brother, sulking in a corner, jumped and started stammering.
"Wh-What! Winry-Chan!" Ed laughed, not only at his brother's reaction, but also at his naivety.
"It's not you Al, looks like I'm not the only bad liar around here! Come on Winry, who is it really? From the looks of things, our earlier deal isn't going through, but I'll still drink the milk if you tell me who it is!" Ed smirked as Winry glared at him.
"What was that about our deal, Edward-Kun? Oh, it'll still go through, because there no way in hell I'm telling you who it is!" Ed looked surprised, but than meanly grinned.
"Oh, is Winry-Chan scared? Is she scared I'll tell someone? Hmmm? Is she just a little scardy cat?" Winry's eyes watered up a bit when she heard this and she started sniffling.
"You so stupid Edward-Kun…" Ed's grin morphed into a surprised frown when he saw that Winry was about to cry.
"Oh shit- don't cry Winry-Chan! I'm sorry! You don't have to tell me! Look, I'll even drink the milk!" And with that, Ed drained the entire glass, and Winry's expression changed, if only just a bit.
"Hmph. Fine. But you're still an idiot." But Ed only laughed light heartedly; just glad he didn't make her cry again.
