Wilbur: Well, I know it was so soon to add another chapter, but I couldn't stay away! Even though I only got 2 reviews, I don't blame the readers. My first chapter was just a little lame... -" Well, here is the second chapter and I hope this one is a little better than the first!
Also, someone said that they had difficulty deciphering the dream in this chapter, so from now on, dreams are going to be underlined. Just letting you know to keep the confusion from happening again. :D

"Ed! Al!" Winry rushed up to Ed and Al to tackle both of them in a bear hug. Al defensively moved out of the way, worrying about hurting Winry as she got an armful of Ed.
Ed went down with an "Umph! Win-rey!"
"Heh heh. Sorry, Ed." Winry got up and brushed herself off, watching Ed all the while.
"S allright." Ed mumbled while straightening his jacket.
"So, Winry, what made you come here to see us?" Al decided to break the awkward silence.
"Well, I got bored back at grandma's so, I decided I would come and visit you!" Winry smiled her toothy smile at the boys.
"Pfft. You, bored? I doubt it." Ed looked up at the sky.
"Why is that so hard to believe?!" Winry glared at Ed, not earning the regular response that she was so used to hearing. "Ed? Is there something wrong?"
"Hmm?? Oh, no, there's nothing wrong. I just got distracted." Ed glanced at the door before returning Winry's gaze.
"Let's go inside, then?" Al nudged towards the door, trying to get Ed and Winry out of this seemingly awkward state they were in.
"Okay!" Winry bounded towards the large doors and happily opened them for Al and Ed.
Al waved at Winry before walking through the doors. Ed just kept his head down in a concentrated stride.
Damn. I just can't figure it out! Ed walked alongside the chatting Al and Winry, but aimlessly. He was too lost in thought. If the visitor was only Winry, then why did Mustang come and tell us himself?? It doesn't make sense.
"…right, Ed?"
Mustang never comes to our room unless it's an emergency.
"…Ed…?"
But lately…. He's been coming more and more often for the littlest things… What could this mean?
"ED!"
Ed was snapped out of his thoughts to meet Winry's face, inches away from his, and looking rather angry. "What do you want?"
"Well, nevermind now, Mr. Fairy-tale-land."
"Okay…"
"Ed! That wasn't an invitation to go back into your dreamland. Join our conversation for once today. For me, please." Winry smiled the sweetest smile she could muster to hopefully brighten her friend's spirits.
Ed smiled back at her before responding. "Alright, Winry. For you."
They walked back to the boys' room together.

"Ed. How are you. I wasn't expecting you to be here." Colonel Mustang looked up from some important-looking papers scattered across his desk.
"I... I… just wanted to see you… for some reason. I didn't intend to come, but something pushed me in, so to speak."
"Oh, I see. Well, while you're here, come sit down. Let's talk for a bit." Roy motioned to a chair positioned in front of his desk. Like most business offices.
Ed felt the stuffed leather beneath him as Roy Mustang grew larger.
"Did you need anything specific?" Mustang looked back upon his papers.
Did I need anything specific? A good question… "I don't know, sir. Like I said, this was all on instinct." What is he wearing? Those aren't his usual Military clothes… those are street clothes. What is this? A skin-tight shirt? What ... is this feeling?
"Yes, yes."
"Why are you wearing those?" Ed felt his hand motioning towards Mustang's clothes.
Roy looked up from his papers abruptly, a strange, but thoughtful look in his eye. "For you, Ed. I'm wearing them for you…"
"Ack! Oh, what the fuck!? What the hell'd you do that for?" Ed woke up with a start, his cheek throbbing. Colonel Mustang loomed above him, his hand still in a raised position.
"You wouldn't wake up... so I went to go get Lieutenant Mitsuki, but ran into Colonel Mustang instead." Al nervously backed away from his older brother.
"Oh..." Ed looked back at Roy, sitting on top of him with his hand still poised. He blushed as he tried to wiggle away from Roy's weight. "Ah! Geroffofme!"
"Oh, right. Sorry." Roy blushed as he climbed off of the still-wiggling Ed.

Wilbur: Did you like that better? It was more of a read, that's for sure. So, I won't enter another chapter today, but most likely in the next few days. I hoped you enjoyed it so far!
