A/N: I've been kind of disappointed with the lack of reviews lately, but thank you those who have! It means a lot. I am going to continue for now, but please... review! Also, I looked over everything, it should be fine, but let me know if you still find any mistakes.
Disclaimer: I do not down Ed, although I'm working on it...
The Crane
Thank god the next morning was a Saturday with no work. Sometimes the three of us still had to work on the weekends, but I was so happy we didn't today. I woke up late, the sun was shining bright through the curtains, and had almost completely dried the road from the rain storm we had last night. I layed on my mattress for about 5 dreamy moments before moving. I opened my door slightly, surprised to see Ed asleep on the couch... Then I remembered last night. I frowned at him, and walked to his room where Al slept. When I opened the door and found nothing but a cold bed, I slammed it closed, and stormed to the kitchen. I really needed someone to talk to; And the one time I did, Al had to disappear. Where the hell was he this early in the morning? I knew Ed was a heavy sleeper and wouldn't wake up from my 'door-slamming'. I watched in the corner of my eyes, he turned from his back on to his side, away from the kitchen; Away from me. I sighed loudly turned on the sink, as I washed my hands and scrubbed my face.
I sat down at the kitchen tabble, layed my head down on it, and closed my eyes. It had only been no more then 30 seconds before the explosion; Or whatever the enormos sound from outside was. It was huge, one of the loudest sounds I've ever heard. I jumped, almost falling back in my chair as I ran to the window. Even Edward, the heaviest sleepier jumped up from the noise. He looked around the room, eyes half open before he spoke.
"What da hell waz that?" He slurred, as I turned around to face his eyes. Those golden eyes of his were full of sleep, no sparkle to them at all. His hair, still tied in a pony tale had almost came out, showing he had a rough night last night. Probably constantly turning in his sleep. It was only till I turned back to the window I discovered what we heard. A huge crane had collapsed outside; It had been working on construction only a few buildings down. People were screaming, and running around frantically. But even though I had discovered what the large 'boom' was, I didn't answer his question.
"Win, seriously..." He layed back down on his pillow closing his eyes, pulling the sheet he had over him up to his chin, exposing his feet. "...What was that?" He whispered, sounding almost as if he was about to fall right back to sleep. Once he realized he wasn't getting an answer, as I continued to stare at the horrible scene outside, I heard him nose sigh, as the couch shifted. He stood up and stretched, and walked over to the window; Each step caused me to blush more. He was still half asleep, and his heavy foot steps, one metal one flesh was too hard for me to handle. He reached the window, and pulled the window up next to me. He stuck his whole head outside the window before he gasped, and looked back to me.
"Winry, do you see what happened- That crane?!" I nodded, and looked away. "Where's Al? All those people outside- We got to go help 'em- Why isn't Al here? Alphonse!? Damn it Winry what's the matter?"
"Nothing-"
"Well then why the hell are you looking at me like that? Damn it all. We got to go help those people..." He ignored me and ran into Al's room as I continued to stare, dreamily out the window. With in seconds, he had changed into clothes and was out the door.
"Are you coming?!" I heard him yell from hallway, leaving the door wide open. I didn't answer. He might of been able to forget yesterday, but it still had deeply affected me. I saw his head peek back through the open door. "Winry!!" He was getting impatient with me. "Fine, stay here and sulk over last night for all I care!" And he left me with that, slamming the door behind him.
