A.n. : Post-manga, but no spoilers. I needed some quiet fluff, so I wrote this. Ed wouldn't disappoint a fangirl, now would he ? ;)
Snow
He opened his eyes to find her standing by the window, slightly drawing the curtain so she could look out of it without the light disturbing him. And indeed, it wasn't the light that had awaken him. It was a soft tickling in his chest, right above his heart, a childlike excitement he now saw in her eyes too.
She didn't move as she heard the ruffling of the sheets as he got up, but a smile did grace her lips when the wooden floor creaked under his uneven steps. Strong arms circled her waist, his chin coming to rest on her shoulder. She knew he was looking at her, silently asking what had attracted her out of their warm bed at such an early hour. She opened the curtain more before breathing her answer.
"Look… It's snowing."
Golden eyes looked up, taking in the scenery before them. The hills of Resembool were already covered by a thick layer of snow but snowflakes still fell gently on branches and hedges, on roofs and frozen streams. Grey clouds hung low in the sky, giving the landscape an eerie glow in the pale morning light. In Resembool, it always snowed for hours on end. It seemed to hold the world still and muffled all the sounds, except the low whispers of the wind in the trees. Tempting. Inviting.
Edward tightened his embrace as Winry leaned into him.
"Yes… It is."
He chuckled, understanding what the excitement had come from. His brother would feel it too and wake up. Then there would be snowball fights and laughters, and they would play like the children they no longer were all morning. There would be a warm fire in the hearth and hot cocoa when they got home, letting themselves drop on the couch, too exhausted to suppress their giggles, their eyes bright with mischief.
They would have so much fun… Later.
Her hands came to rest on his and she leaned deeperinto his warmth, a light kiss on the nape of her neck coming to seal an unspoken agreement. Yes, they would run and play and laugh, but for now, they would wait for Alphonse to get up, and simply enjoy the snowfall.
