I was warm, swish, swish, bounce, bounce a blonde ponytail swayed in the wind and it grew cold as I heard a voice, "He's going away, to die," I opened my eyes to see what the voice was talking about but all I saw was cold fuchsia, how such a warm color could be so cold I'll never know but it suited him fine.

"Greed."

Waking up outside on the balcony of the Rockbell house I saw Greed pressed against the railing of the balcony. The morning was fogy and grey, as I walked towards Greed. Stretching my arms and rubbing the sleep from my eyes I reached his side by the railing.

"What are you looking at?"

I asked curiously bending over the balcony to get a better view through the fog.

"It's the old man he's going away."

Greed didn't look to me as he talked keeping his piercing eyes trained to a spot in the fog. Looking closer I saw a blonde ponytail swaying back and forth through the mist. My eyes widened from their normal squint as I remembered my dream. Was I dreaming of what Greed was seeing? Coming out of my shock I turned to meet fuchsia eyes. Our faces were blank as we held our stare.

"We should go see if the others are awake yet."

I broke the gaze and began to walk to the door leading back inside. Greed didn't say anything as he followed me back in. I could feel the smirk on his lips as his cold eyes burned through me, it sent unfamiliar but pleasant shivers down my spine.

"I never knew how much you wanted to touch and look at me~."

I smiled remembering my words from last night. Greed was trying to tease me.

"Yeah but it's mostly about having my own body back, you were starting to make me greedy."

I turned around to face a grinning Greed.

"Greedy for what exactly?"

He leaned closer to me a sly smirk forming on his face. Blushing the lightest of pinks as the first thing that popped into my head was Greed himself, my smile grew fiery and my tone playful as I responded.

"Lots of things, like becoming the ruler of the world!"

Greed laughed which made my smile widen even more.

"Ah yes the ruler of the whole world, now I could get used to that!"

I feigned outrage.

"Now wait a minute who said you would be ruler, it would obviously be me!"

Greed's grin grew playful as he flicked me in the nose.

"No way piss ant you're nowhere near strong enough to rule the world."

Smirking slightly I crossed my arms.

"Oh yeah, well I was strong enough to overcome you."

Greed backed me into the hallway until my back hit the wall.

"That's only cause I let ya kid."

Suddenly I could feel it again that overwhelming heat coming back to suffocate me; except instead of crushing me it was wrapping around me in hot tendrils of want, Greed's eyes were burning into me as I saw a glint of his sharp homunculus teeth through his cocky smirk. Our faces were so close, as the waves of Greed's avarice pulsed hotter and hotter. I could feel my cheeks glowing, a deep red. Looking down to the ground I Un-squinted my eyes breathing shallowly, what's this feeling? Screwing my eyes shut I whined slightly in my throat.

"Greed."

Suddenly a loud cry shook throughout the Rockbell home.

"No!"

Snapping my head to where the noise was coming from, I took off in the direction of the guest room where Ed, Al and Winry were staying. I could hear Greed's footfalls behind me as we ran. Finally reaching the plain room we were greeted by the sight of a distressed Mei Chang clinging to a reluctant Alphonse, along with an aggravated Ed trying to pry the Xinginese girl off the weak alchemist.

"What's wrong?"

I questioned with a raised brow, an amused Greed behind me. Choosing to ignore everyone Mei continued to screech and moan.

"No, no, no!"

"Get off him you overgrown panda!"

Ed shouted as he pulled more around the girls' stomach trying to save his brother from whatever Mei was doing to him. Slowly approaching us Winry sighed.

"A little while ago we found Mei in here sleeping with Al."

I tilted my head in confusion.

"So, that's not such a big deal."

Winry sighed again, bringing her hands to her head to try and straighten out her bed head.

"Well ordinarily no, but she was hugging Al so tight that he was in pain, and well,"

She paused turning her head back to look at Ed who was still struggling to pull Mei off his brother.

"You know Ed."

She finished with a deadpanned look on her face.

"Get off him already!"

Interrupting the moans of protest from Mei Ed finally pried the little Xinginese girl off the poor alchemist. Al looked worse for wear his eyes spinning and body limp.

"What wrong with you Mei?"

Ed yelled once more a scowl covering his face. Mei had tears in her big eyes as she cried.

"I just wanted to spend the night with my beloved Alphonse! I might not see him again for a very long time and I-I just wanted to be with him!"

Mei sniffed as snot started to come out of her small stuffy red nose.

"Yeah well couldn't you have waited until morning?"

Ed snorted holding his head up in contempt and crossing his arms. Mei grew angry as she shouted at Ed.

"No I can't wait, I love him and when you love someone you always want to be with them, there's never enough time, if I'd have waited till morning there wouldn't have been enough time, in fact even now there's not enough time!"

Mei spoke with passion as she held her hand to her chest.

"Even now my hearts crying out to be with my dear Alphonse!"

She growled at Ed

"And you're getting in the way of that."

Ed looked moved but also annoyed at the girls' words.

"Yeah well he needs sleep, you care about him right?"

At this Mei nodded her head quickly, a desperate look on her face.

"And you want him to get better right?"

Ed continued, while Mei listened carefully.

"Then you need to let him rest."

Ed's face turned soothing as Mei turned down her head in defeat more tears falling down round cheeks. Looking to Winry Ed nodded his head towards Mei ordering Winry to look after her. The blonde girl had a calming but serious look on her face as she nodded to Ed in confirmation and went over to Mei grabbing her tiny hand and taking her back to her room. Once the frantic Xinginese girl had left Ed returned to his brother's side helping him up.

"You okay Al?"

Ed's voice was sweet and held great concern for his brother.

"Yeah I'm fine."

Al smiled warmly turning to face Greed and I who were still standing in the middle of the room.

"Sorry about that Mei can get a little, clingy sometimes."

Ed huffed.

"Clingy, more like obsessed! I can't believe she's related to you Ling!"

Smiling playfully I held a finger up wagging it back and forth.

"Technically were only half siblings~."

Ed pouted.

"Whatever."

"Oh come on she's not that bad, she's only in love."

Al interrupted the conversation a light blush dusting his cheeks. At this Greed snorted a smirk on his lips.

"If that's what loves like for you humans I'm glad I'm a homunculus."

I frowned turning to face Greed who was leaning against the molding of the wooden door leading into the guest room.

"So you can't feel love?"

My frown deepened as Greed laughed.

"I'm Greed piss ant, the only thing I feel is the ever expanding desire to possess."

A cocky grin grew on his face as I looked at the palm of my hand in contemplation.

"I don't think that's true Greed."

I hummed quietly. Greed looked to me his face questioning as he let out a 'huh'. Continuing I walked over to him a light smile on my face.

"When we were fighting on the promised day after Wrath had killed Captain Buccaneer and Fu."

I paused remembering my bodyguard and all his bravery.

"When I asked you to lend me your powers to save everyone, you lent them to me. I don't think that had anything to do with your avarice."

I brought my hand up to press against his chest a warm smile spreading across my face as I felt the steady rhythm of his heart."

"You're more than what your name implies, Greed."

Looking up to him our eyes met and I could feel his chi pulsing hot as his avarice and maybe something more started to ravish the air around us. Those fuchsia eyes were deep as they tried to drown me in them. Forgetting all about Ed I began to feel tingles down my spine once more and a slight heat rush to my cheeks, it was the same feeling from the hallway again; it was all encompassing and it made me want this moment to never end. What was happening to me? I curled my palm into a fist as our gaze intensified.

'No I can't wait, I love him and when you love someone you always want to be with them!'

'Oh come on she's not that bad, she's only in love.'

Suddenly thinking back to what had just happened a few minutes ago I froze, breaking the gaze I held with Greed but still clenching my hand on his chest. My mouth felt dry but my brain was overflowing with words. Greed.

"Ling are you alright?"

I could feel Ed looking over my shoulder as he interrupted my thoughts. Greed brought his hand to his head, scratching the black hair. Yawning he moved his hand to mine.

"He's fine brat you just woke him up with all you're screaming."

Once my hand was separated from his chest Greed began walking out the door way and as he did I felt a slight loss overtake me. Greed lifted his hand in the air signaling for me to follow.

"Come on piss ant lets go."

Following Greed I looked back to see a confused but sleepy Ed head back to an already asleep Al.

When the fog finally cleared and the sun came to claim the land I was laying in the grass outside the Rockbell house. Greed and I had separated after we had left the guest room earlier today. So i decided to enjoy my last moments in Amestris outside while waiting for Greed, Lanfan and the chimeras to come back from shopping for supplies. I chuckled a little, imagining Greed he must be eyeing every expensive looking thing in the market.

"Hey Ling!"

At the call I sat up to see Ed walking towards me, a friendly smile was on his face as he held out an apple to me. Catching it with a smile I bit into the red fruit, enjoying the way it crunched around my teeth.

"What are you doing out here Ling?"

Ed questioned as he finally reached me sitting down to join me in the plush grass.

"Hmm."

I tried to speak with the apple in my mouth which only caused Ed to give me a deadpanned look and wait for me to finished eating. Sighing in satisfaction I laid back in the grass putting my hands behind my head.

"I was just out here thinking."

Ed looked curious as he leaned over to look at me from above.

"About what?"

Deciding that there was no gain in keeping my thoughts hidden I sat back up startling Ed and causing him to fall over on his back.

"You're in love right Ed?"

I questioned with a knowing smile. At this Ed jolted up, a huge blush on his face.

"No! Where'd you get that idea from."

Laughing lightly at his embarrassment I place my hands in my lap, my legs crossed lotus style.

"You love Winry right."

Ed turned away at my statement, blush still burning his cheeks red.

"No."

I sighed in satisfaction.

"Well, I too am in love."

At this Ed turned from embarrassed to curious, his amber eyes growing wide with wonder.

"Really with who, is it Lanfan, because I've seen the way she is around you and-."

I quickly cut him off with a shake of the head; just the thought of Lanfan and I together disturbed me. Sure she was beautiful and strong, but I thought of her more as a sister; maybe we could have had something once, but I'm too far gone for that now.

"It's not Lanfan, this person is very special."

Ed looked to be in thought then a disgusted look graced his face.

"Very special, uh it's not me is it?"

Ed pointed to himself a look of anticipation glazing his eyes. I laughed at his assumption.

"No it's not you; in fact I'd go as far as to say that this person is the complete opposite of you."

Ed looked even more confused and deep in thought as he tried to figure out who it was.

Out of the blue a shadow was covering us.

"What are you guys doing?"

An annoyed but curious voice interrupted us. Looking up to see who it was, I was met with the bored eyes of Greed.

"Come on it's almost time to leave, we got all the stuff so let's go piss ant."

Glancing him over I saw that he was holding two bags that looked to be filled to the brim with rations. I smiled brightly as excitement filled me. Jumping up I held my hand out to Ed to help him up. Once standing we all headed back to the Rockbell home to gather everyone up for the train ride to Lior. Walking alongside Greed I heard Ed gasp lightly from behind me, turning around I was met with huge golden eyes that spoke of realization. Stopping and letting the others walk ahead of us, I felt Greed's eyes rake over me then drift somewhere else.

"Someone special; the opposite of me, no the opposite of any human! Ling!"

Ed mumbled all this as he looked to me with shocked eyes.

"Ling your not-."

Suddenly Ed was interrupted by the sound of Winry's call.

"Ed hurry up or you'll make them late for the train."

The blonde girl cupped one hand around her mouth as she waved the other in the air, a happy but stern smile on her face as she shouted. Ed's voice caught in his throat as he tried to say something to me but all that came out was a yell.

"We're coming Winry."

Running past me Ed scurried off in a golden blur towards the house. I smiled lightly as I walked slowly back to the house. Once everyone was ready to go, we all made our way to the train station watching as the sky was dyed red, orange and yellow as the sun set. The air was crisp and clear until we reached the train station which filled the sky with black smoke and the smell of coal and oil. The train was waiting for us when we arrived and as we border up our things I sat near the window looking at all the friends I'd made during this journey. Winry was smiling brightly her arms steadying a waving Al, Pinako was standing behind her, smoking her pipe with the other two chimeras by her side. Sticking my upper half out to wave at them I was stopped by Ed who held a serious look on his face.

"Ling you're not seriously in love with-."

"Shhh~."

I cut his whispering off with a shush, one of my dark blue eyes opening to look at him, a playful smirk covering my lips.

"I'm too vain to like anyone else Ed."

I placed my head in my hand giving him a playful look. Ed scowled.

"Vain! It's borderline narcissistic Ling!"

Ed harshly whispered as he gripped the window sill of the train. squinting my eyes I quickly glanced to Greed who had his eyes closed and his arms crossed as he sat across from me on the train. A dreamy smile graced my features.

"Love's fickle isn't it?"

I hummed in a daze, moving my stare back to Ed, who sighed in defeat, a weak smile on his lips.

"I guess it is."
