~Enjoy~

Edward arrived in the kitchen, smelling the food Al was preparing. He went beside his little brother.

``Need help? ``

``Yeah, could you cut the vegetables please? ``

Edward smiled and took a knife to start his new job. Al started talking while looking at the meat cooking up.

``I was thinking that maybe me and Winry should move out. ``

``Move out? You don't like it here? ``

``We do but… We don't have a lot of costumers. We would have more if we stayed near a military HQ you know. ``

``Yeah, I guess… Why not come to Central then? We could see each other often! ``

Al giggled at his suggestion.

``Brother, you're so clingy. I know you like me but maybe you should town it down. ``

``I can't help myself Al. You are the most important person in my life. I would just like to have you close to me so I can watch over you like the big brother I am. ``

Fuck, that was cheesy. Either way, that brought a gentle smile on the younger brother's lips.

``You should really find someone to love instead of me brother, I'm gonna start thinking you love me romantically. ``

``Hey, incest is bad. `` Replied Edward while wincing. Al laughed at his face, he was only teasing the older brother.

``Seriously though, have you find someone you have interest in? ``

``Um… ``

Time to change subject again? Yes.

``Here, I finished cutting the vegetables. `` He gave him the food. ``I'm wondering, is it supposed to rain tomorrow? We could go fishing! ``

``Brother. `` Al's tone was more commanding.

``Y… Yes? ``

``You know you can tell me everything. Tell me, who is that person you like? ``

Dammit. Alphonse guessed he had a love interest. Well its true Edward wasn't really being discrete, changing the subject like that.

``Um… I don't know if I should tell you… ``

``Why not? You know I can keep secrets. ``

``Yeah… Um… It's… `` The blond blushed a bit, thinking about that night he spent with Roy at his birthday. In bed.

``C'mon, spit it out brother! ``

``Okay, okay! It's Mustang. ``

Al's eyes widened ten times larger and Edward braced himself, he knew what was going to happen.

``GENERAL MUSTA-?! ``

Edward put a hand on his little brother's mouth to make him stop shouting.

``Don't yell like that! Remember Winry's working. ``

Al calmed down and pushed his brother's hand away.

``You're gonna have some serious explaining to tell me later. ``Said the youngest.

``Yeah, I know… ``

They heard footsteps going down the stairs and a tired Winry arrived.

``Supper's ready? `` She asked.

``Almost! Just sit down. `` answered Alphonse while smiling.

Edward woke up the next morning, still sleepy. He slept on the couch since he couldn't use his former bedroom anymore and it wasn't the most comfortable. How he missed the couches in Mustang's mansion. He finally got up to go in the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee. Not long after, Al arrived in the kitchen, smiling widely and looking like he had the most refreshing sleep ever.

``'Morning Al, slept well? ``

``Yes! What about you brother? ``

``No. `` Edward pouted, taking another sip of his coffee.

He was going to need it. Seeing Alphonse being so happy go lucky this early in the morning didn't sit well with him.

``Ready to go fishing brother? They said on the radio that its going to be a beautiful sunny day. ``

``Yeah, yeah… Go get the fishing poles ready and let me finish this coffee. ``

Alphonse went off, almost skipping in happiness. Edward sighed but still had a little smirk on the corner of his lips. He loved seeing his brother so happy. He then finished his coffee.

``So, brother, tell me everything. ``

Edward sighed. They were in front of the lake close to Pinako's house, both of their lines in the water, waiting for fishes.

``I arrived at Central, wanted to take refuge with one of Mustang's squad member but they all refused me. The last one I asked was Mustang and he accepted. Did you know, he lives in a big ass mansion?! ``

Alphonse giggled.

``Sure I know, every Führers used that mansion. ``

Damn. Everyone knew about the mansion except Edward.

``So yeah… First days were pretty rough. I even punched him in the face at one point. ``

``Brother! ``

``He deserved it, that bastard! Anyway, we started getting along after a few days and… At his birthday… we… ``

He hesitated to continue.

``You had sex. `` Answered his little brother, grinning.

``Yes, we had sex, there, happy? ``

``Yes! `` Al was looking at him with a huge smile now. Edward just rolled his eyes and they kept quiet for a while. Still waiting for that fish. It was still pretty early but surely there must be fishes in this river. Edward finally said in a low voice.

``He told me he loved me… ``

``And… Do you love him back? ``

``I… I don't know… I don't even know what love is! I don't know fuck all and how it feels to be in love! ``

``Well, love is… `` Al hesitated before answering.

He never got the chance to say it. Some fish starting pulling on the line and Alphonse jumped in surprise, making the pole fall in the water.

``Oh no! ``

The brothers both went in the river to get the pole back and maybe even the fish with it.

They came back at Winry's house later in the day. They caught six fishes and were pretty proud of themselves. They had two for each of them. That was going to be a delicious supper. They greeted Winry that was outside taking some fresh air. She looked at Edward.

``I can take a look at your automail now if you want, I finished the other one. ``

``I'll take care of cleaning the fishes brother, you can go. `` Replied Alphonse.

Edward smiled at his brother and followed the girl back inside the house. Once in her room, he took off his pants so she could have a closer look at his automail leg. He sat down on her bed and she started her work. It was awkward being back in her room. He remembered the night he had with her. She looked so desperate and sad. Edward had no idea why she did that. Yes, you could ask someone for consolation, but not 'sex consolation'. He really tried to hold himself back that night, he did push her away but his body reacted on his own. He hated himself for it. Winry broke him off of his thoughts.

``I hope you didn't tell anything to Al. ``

``What are you talking about? ``

``About the night we had… `` She had taken the front plate of the automail off and was looking inside of it. ``I don't want him to know… He would hate me. ``

``You know… I should've never listened to you. I shouldn't have come in your bed. Why did you do that? ``

``I… I wanted to be comforted… I wanted to feel someone against me… I was so sad Ed. And it wasn't going well with Al. ``

He still looked at her with a cold gaze.

``Are you lying to me Winry? ``

She stopped what she was doing to look at his golden eyes.

``No! Before that… Alphonse seemed like he had trouble just holding or hugging me… I wanted to feel the warmth of someone else. ``

``Don't put the blame on my little brother's back! ``

She winced after hearing him almost yell.

``I… I'm sorry… I know I shouldn't have. But we were on break! Its almost like we broke up at the time no? So… Its not cheating, no? ``

``You were back together the day after! You both never broke up! ``

``I… I… `` She hesitated, not knowing what to say to that.

``If you have some excuses to make, it should be to him! But no, you're too scared to tell him. If you really love him, you would tell him! ``

She started having tears in her eyes. Fuck. He maybe went too far. She closed up his automail almost in anger. His automail was perfectly fine too.

``Sorry, Win… I shouldn't have shouted at you like that. ``

``No, Its fine! `` Irony was in her voice as she got up. ``You're right! I'll just tell him I fucked his brother to feel better about myself! ``

They both heard a thud. They turned to the door where Al was standing. He had dropped the bucket of fishes on the floor.

Shit.

How much did he hear? Well Edward and Winry knew he heard the last part perfectly for reacting like that. Al was looking at them, mouth opened but not a sound coming out of it. He was in total shock. Winry took one step towards him.

``Al… I'm… ``

``DON'T FUCKING COME CLOSER. ``

Edward and Winry looked stunned. Edward has never heard his little brother swear in his life. He knew he was deeply hurt and again, he hated himself for it. The blond saw the tears raising up in his little brother's eyes and before he could say anything, Alphonse was running away.

``Al! `` Yelled Winry, as she wanted to follow him.

Edward got up and put his hand on her shoulder.

``Stay here, I have to talk to him alone. ``

He then ran after his brother, leaving the blond girl alone in her bedroom.

END CHAPTER 10

I hope you liked it?
I had a hard time deciding how Alphonse was going to find out about Winry and Edward sleeping together haha.
Though AnimeandFanficLover had a good idea, saying Winry would try to fuck Edward again.
I hesitates to put it in the chapter but I didn't. I didn't want to make Winry more of a bitch than she already is because yes, I do love her as a character haha~

See you all soon~
