I haven't done an Ed pov in a while now have I? I miss his thoughts and I'm sure you do, too. I want to hand out a gigantic, and I mean huge, box of Forrer Rochet (sp?) chocolates to my wonderful reviewers: Midnight Hikari, fma43 (you reviewed them all at once and that got me really jumpy!), and BornOnTheBreakOfDawn! This one's to you! I hope you enjoy!


Umbrella

(Not even remotely close to the song)

Al and I sat on a low, grassy hill, not far from Winry's house. We had returned to get my automail fixed, but there was also something else that I wanted to do.

Maybe I should tell her, but what if she didn't feel like I did? What if she saw me as a brother and not something more? Granted, I am a jerk with her and I don't tell her what she wants to hear even if she begs me. Also, she had said that she didn't like guys shorter than her. And on top of all that, I'm never here to look out for her or interact with her. It would be fair if she actually rejected me.

"Brother, don't you want to go inside? You're getting soaked." Al brought me back to reality.

"Why would you say that, Al?" I was obviously oblivious, but I honestly didn't feel the drops that hit my skin lightly.

Moments passed by and I was not even one percent sure of what to do. The rain suddenly came to a stop and I looked up. She was there, standing before me, holding a large, pink umbrella with one hand and extending the other so she could help me stand.

"You two are getting all wet. Come on, let's go inside so the rain doesn't get you."

We smiled at each other and I took her hand. I realized I wasn't as short as she always claimed I was. Al was up before I was so he went ahead of us only to wait at the bottom of the hill.

Winry and I held the handle, but when our hands touched, we flinched. She was just as nervous as I was and we ended up blushing the whole walk home. Later that night, Al kept teasing me about that, but every time he did, I smirked because that meant I had a chance with her.


I miss the rain and there hasn't been a single drop since June 17. Yeah, I can remember exact dates; I have a very good memory, you could say photographic. Just in case anyone is wondering, this takes place in the 2nd opening theme of the 1st anime. You know when at the end, Winry comes with her umbrella and then the rainbow shines and all, yeah, that scene. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed! R/R, plz! Support is love! Thank you so much for your time!
