"Maybe…" I said putting my arm around him. "Maybe I want pity, your pity," I whispered in his ear, saying the last part slowly.
His face immediately turned red and his eyes watched as I walked in front of him. I stood in front of him for a second, and then leaned towards him. Ed's face started to look like a cherry, an apple, or any red fruit. He didn't pull back though. Right when I was near his face, I pulled out my hand and pushed him onto the bed as I walked away.
"What was that for?" he asked while he sat up.
"If I'm worried about you, let me worry, and let me help you," I said as I walked out the door.
Winry was sitting at the table when I came back down. She had a worried look on her face, but when Ed came down behind me she looked happy. She stood up and looked like she was about to hug Ed, but he fell to the floor instead.
"If somebody wants to help you, let them!" she yelled, holding her wrench out, and shaking it.
I was glad she was backing me up, but she was a little too… drastic. Al came in and saw Ed on the floor. He already knew what happened. Or at least why he was on the floor. Pinako walked in as well.
"You four should get some sleep, its getting late," she said, keeping the pipe in her mouth. "Ed and Al; you guys can use the room you used to stay in before you left. And Nicole, if you don't mind sharing a room with Winry, she has another bed in her room."
"I'm just happy to have a bed!"
Everyone laughed, but then, we all looked tired. Ed almost fell over. I don't know if it was from the bonk on the head or sleepiness, but Al carried him up. I followed Winry into her room. I changed in the bathroom while she changed in the bedroom. I almost collapsed onto the bed. Some thoughts poured into me though.
