Ch.10
Granny! Ed and Al are back!!" Winry yelled. She left her balcony and hurried down the steps to open the front door. She stepped outside and waited for them to approach the door. She wondered why Ed had brought Roy with them. Ed knew Winry did not like Roy. Just because Ed brought him along didn't mean she had to be nice to him. Well She at least would be civil with him.
"Look brother it's Winry!" Al exclaimed.
"Does she have a wrench in her hand?"
"No not that I can see…"
"Well We better be careful. She's dangerous with a wrench."
"What do you mean we? She always throw's it at you because you have done something stupid brother." Al said beginning to chuckle.
"Yes Edward, you're the one who should be worried." Roy chimed in. Ed looked back at him. Roy smiled and also began to laugh.
"Shadd-up you to." Ed said getting angry. He had to think fast, what could he do to stop Winry from getting hit in the head. Of course he could always transmute something around her but then she would get super pissed and probably throw more things. Damn… Ah wait Ed was carrying his suit case. He would put his suit case up in front of his head and block anything she threw. It was an ingenious plan . Or so Ed thought. Ed lifted his suit case and held it right in front of his forehead blocking his blond colored hair and skull from any flying wrenches.
"Ed you look ridiculous. That's pretty drastic for warding off wrenches."
"Shut up you. It would be drastic If I used you as my human shield"
"Brother…" Al said as he sighed.
They neared where Winry was standing. She walked off the porch and went over to greet them. She threw her arms up and stopped and looked at Edward.
"Uh Ed… why do you have your suit case blocking your head?" She asked.
"Well ya see…"
"Brother thought that you would throw a wrench at him like you usually do."
"I only do that when you don't call me or you do something stupid." Winry said smiling.
"See, Al told you." Roy said laughing.
"Shut up. I get it." Ed mumbled. He removed the suit case from blocking his head and set it down on the ground.
"Welcome back boys." Pinako said coming out of the doorway smoking her long pipe as usual.
"Ah Edward I see you haven't grown at since the last time I saw you." Pinako said eagerly waiting for Edward to respond.
"Ah you Old Hag. Your shorter than anyone here and you have to make fun of me??" Edward yelled.
"Aw Granny… not now." Winry said sighing.
"Auntie it's good to see you again."
"Yea I guess its good to see you, you old hag." Edward mumbled.
"What was that shrimp, I couldn't hear you." Pinako said smiling.
"Damn it! I said you were an old hag that is over a million years old!" Edward yelled.
"That's what I thought. I do hope these boys don't cause you this much trouble all the time sir."
"Not at all Ms. Rockbell. Only every once in a while Ed will break out into a tantrum." Roy said sternly.
"Yes, well that seems about right for him. It is unusual for you to be accompanying the boy's."
"Well I-"
"Let's all go inside. Supper will be ready soon." Pinako said ignoring Roy.
"Come on Ed, I'll check to see if you need an adjustment on your automail before dinner." Winry said grabbing Ed's hand and dragging him into the house.
"Uggh…" mumbled Ed.
"I'll help you set the table Auntie." Al said following her into the house.
"Well I guess I'll just wait out here then." Roy mumbled as he sat down on the front steps . Roy knew the Rockbel'ls disliked him. It was because of whet he did to their family. He tore them apart. It was his fault they didn't like him. Roy couldn't blame them though. He would probably hate someone if they killed his parents.
Roy sighed."Why did I even come here? I could have just stayed at a hotel and waited for Ed to be done doing whatever needs to be done here." Roy just couldn't wait to get to the base and meet up with all the military personal that were supposedly planning an attack to kill the Head Ishballian. That would be so much fun. Meeting with people from the military that he has never met before. Just great… "Damn.." Roy mumbled.
Edward sneaked out of Winry's workshop when she wasn't looking. He didn't want another automail adjustment. Ed hated getting them. The worst part about it was when they re-connected the nerve endings. Edward quietly made his was to the porch and crept up behind Roy who was sitting on the steps. Ed tapped him on the shoulder and sat down on the other side of him. Roy looked back but no one was there. Then he realized that Ed plopped himself down right next to him. It startled Roy a little but he should have guessed Edward would find a way to escape.
"What aren't you happy to see me?" Ed said with a grin.
"Oh I'm thrilled. I thought Winry took you for adjustments or something…"
"Yea well while she wasn't looking I escaped. I hate getting adjustments."
"Well good luck with escaping. You know she'll find you."
"Shut up. Don't ruin my escape right now. So why are you out here anyway?"
"Well You should know. They don't like me."
"Ah, yea I know. So your just going to stay out here all alone?"
"Well I guess, I mean you and Al are busy doing things so."
"Ha, She'll never find me! I won't let her." Ed said with a laugh.
"Yea ok. Well since your not going to get caught how bout a kiss?"
"You and those Damn kisses I swear."
"Shut up." Roy said leaning in closer to Edwards face. Their lips were about to touch when Winry yelled.
"Edward Elric! Where the Hell are you!" Winry yelled as she threw a wrench outside the door and Hit Edward in the back of his head. Ed put his hand on the spot where the wrench hit and rubbed it.
"Damn it Winry!" Ed yelled back angrily.
"Well looks like you got caught."
"Yea yea. Guess I gotta go." Before Ed left he leaned in and kissed Roy. Ed usually is the one always trying to avoid getting kissed but this time he knew that Roy wanted a kiss. So naturally Ed had to get used to kissing if he was going to be in a relationship with Roy.
Ed pulled away and stood up.
"Hmm I wasn't expecting you to kiss me. That's a nice change." Roy said slyly with a smile.
"Whatever. I only did it because you looked so lonely."
"Ok Ed." Roy said sarcastically.
"Edward! There you are! Get back into the house! I turn my back for one minute and your gone! What kind of respect is that?" Winry yelled as she grabbed Ed by his red jacket and began pulling him into the house.
"Well you didn't have to throw a wrench at me! You know that hurts. How bout I throw one at you?"
"You wouldn't dare."
"I just might one of these days." Edward mumbled.
Winry looked back at Roy who was watching them argue their way back into the house. He smiled when he noticed Winry looking at him. She just gave him a dirty look and slammed the door shut.
"Well so much for trying to be nice." Roy sighed while he laid down on his back and looked up at the darkining sky.
"I think it's going to rain."
"Really Ed, why can't you just let me re-adjust you automail in peace?" Winry said as she shut the workshop door.
"I mean you always go running off."
"Yea well you shouldn't throw wrenches at people." Edward remarked as he sat down.
"That's not the point. What I'm trying to say or rather what I mean is you are always running off to places. When you come to visit you only stay for a day or two then off you go and I don't hear from you again or until you need your automail fixed."
'Great, here she goes again. She's always going on about how I never visit and when I do its for a short period of time… blah blah blah I don't have time for a lecture. If I wanted a lecture I would do something to piss Roy off.' Ed thought as he rolled his eyes. Ed plopped his head down on the back of the brown colored chair as Winry continued to talk.
"You and Al are always acting so tough. Like you can handle any situation you come across. You never ask for help or your too stubborn."
"Now wait just a minute-"
"Please let me finish Ed. I mean you know how much granny and I worry about you. And yet you never seem to have the time to call and tell us what's going on or write or anything. You always don't want to burden people, but sometimes people want to help you with your burden's. I want to help you with them. I hate seeing you go on dangerous missions. It hurts me to see you when your arm's all busted up and you've been hurt. Al too. I can't stand seeing the both of you hurt."
"Winry… This isn't your sin you have to carry. I am doing all I can to put Al back to normal. Don't you think that not a day goes by when I question myself If I did the right thing trying to bring our mom back? I still can't answer that myself. But Winry, If I didn't go on these dangerous missions then I wouldn't have the information I need about the stone."
"Is this next mission so dangerous that you can't bring Al along? Is that why he is staying here?"
Edward nodded his head. "Yes that is why. Well Also no one in the millitary is suppose to know about this mission. It's top secret. That's pretty much all I can tell you."
"What about Roy? Does he know?"
"Yes, he was assigned to go with me. Believe me Winry, this mission wasn't something I wanted to do. It's something I am doing for Al."
"I see…" Winry paused. She wondered what could be so dangerous that Al couldn't come. She also has never heard of such a top secret that the military couldn't know. What was the Furher thinking? Winry just couldn't think of Edward coming back from this mission with his arm all busted up, having cuts and bleeding everywhere. Winry has seen Ed like this before it wasn't pretty. She just couldn't bear to see him like that again. Winry started to cry. This isn't the first time she has cried for the boys. This wasn't the first time she has just cried for Edward either. Winry fell to her knees. She put her hand up to her face and wiped her tears. Edward got up from the chair and went to Winry. He stood there. Ed put his hand on her shoulder trying to console her. He looked at her. Every time Ed would mention dangerous she would cry. Ed hated seeing her cry for him.
Winry finally looked up at Edward.
"Edward… I-I…"
Roy opened the door to let himself in. He had his black jacket up over his head. He was using it to shield himself from the sudden downpour of rain. He knew it was going to rain. He always knows when it's going to rain. Pinako peered out of the kitchen doorway and looked at the soaking wet Roy standing in the doorway. She hurried out of the kitchen and went towards him.
"Here, I'll take you jacket." Pinako said reaching out her hand.
"Thank you Ms. Rocknbell." Roy said handing his wet jacket to her.
"Please don't call me Ms. It's so formal sounding. Just call me Pinako like everyone else."
"Yes, ok then Pinako." It was a little weird for Roy to be calling someone other than military personnel by there names.
"Please have a seat Mr. Mustang."
"Roy's fine."
"Ok then Roy please have a seat."
Roy nodded and sat at a chair that was by the table. Pinako then went and sat right next to Roy.
"So tell me Roy, How are the boys?"
"They are fine. Ed is acting just like one of the military men. An Al supports Ed 100."
"Ah, I see. So they really have turned Ed into a dog of the state."
"Well he usually puts a twist on what the higher ups tell him to do. He either refuses to do it or does it his own way and says "I'm no one's dog."
"Well that's Edward for you. Is the reason why Al has to stay with us because of a dangerous mission?"
"Well I'm really not allowed to say anything, but yes It is very dangerous and I am assigned to go with him."
"Ah, I see. Well then I really should be getting dinner on the table." Pinako said as she stood up from her chair.
"I can help you with that."
"No it's alright, you're a guest I don't want you to have to do any unnecessary work." Pinako said walking back in the kitchen.
"I just wanted to be useful…" Roy mumbled.
"Edward I-I Love you." Winry said sobbing.
"Eh?"
Edward knew Winry had some feelings for him but she loved him? No way. She couldn't love him. She was his best friend. Well people can fall in love with their best friend's right? No No NO! Winry didn't know what she was saying. Besides what would Roy think? Ed had feelings for Roy not Winry. He couldn't tell her that. Ed couldn't tell Winry that the man she hates likes him. No way. This was not going to turn out well.
"Winry I- I don't know what to say. I mean I knew that you had some feelings for me but Love? Do you truly love me? Or you just don't know what you are saying?"
"No Ed, I really love you." Winry said still crying. She stood up and looked at Ed.
" I just wanted to tell you before you go off on this dangerous mission. I mean that's why I worry about you so much. Because, someday I know there will be a mission that you go on and I will never see you again." She wiped her eyes and calmed down. She stopped crying. She knew what Ed's answer was going to be. He would never love her. It's just not something he would do. Winry was ok with that. She just needed to tell him how she felt.
"Yes but Winry, You know that I don't love you right? You're my best friend and I know that you are concerned with me and everything but, I just don't love you." Ed couldn't word it any better. He just didn't know how.
"I know that Ed. I know you don't love me. But tell me one thing, Is there someone else? I just need to know."
"Well I-… Um.. Yes there is someone else that I have strong feelings for."
"Your not going to tell me are you?"
"No I am not. Because I know how you get. You'll hate that person."
"Hmph… I bet it's Roy."
"Wha- Don't say things like that!" Ed snapped back.
"Wait… It is Roy isn't IT!"
Edward didn't say anything. He just looked away and was blushing a little.
Winry gasped and put her hand up to her mouth. No why Him? Why it could be anyone and it has to be him. She put her hand down and began yelling
"Why Ed? Why does it have it have to be that man! Any other person would be fine but HIM!!!! Why him! You know what he has done to our family. He killed my parents! Do you think that is ok?"
Edward again didn't say anything. He just couldn't say anything to her. He was upset that she found out about him and Roy.
"Well Say something!" Winry yelled as she grabbed Ed's jacket and got in his face.
"Damn it! Yes Yes I do like him! Ok! I like the man you hate! Are you satisfied with that? What do you want me to say? I am sorry. But That is not going to change how I feel about him. I'm sorry he killed your parents. It wasn't his fault. He was commanded to do that. You know he tried to kill himself after he killed your parents? He felt so bad but he couldn't kill himself. And you treat him like he's some outsider. You could at least be nice to him!" Edward yelled.
"… I-I didn't know that. I feel bad now."
"Well you should. Not a word about this to Al or Auntie. Not a word to anyone Got it?"
"Yes… Not a word."
Al knocked on the door as he opened it a crack. "Winry, Ed, Auntie says dinner is ready."
"Thanks Al. Were coming." Replied Ed grasping the doorknob and walking out into the hallway.
Winry followed behind Ed in silence.
