Epilogue
Ed woke up to the smell of the early morning breeze. He can sense the sunlight already spilling in inside the room. He kept his eyes shut and let his other senses take over for a while. He also felt his arms hugging something soft and warm. Ed tightened his hold a little; the softness was very comforting.
BLAG!!
"Aaww…"Ed exclaimed in his head. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar room. He heard a familiar footstep approaching him as well.
"Brother, are you alright?" Al knelt and helped him sit up. "You fell from the bed."
Ed was still a bit dizzy from the fall; he blinked a couple of times to clear his vision.
"Uh-brother, are you okay?" Al asked looking at what Ed was hugging so tightly.
Ed looked down and saw a pillow; he sighed.
"Did you have a bad dream?" Al looked concerned.
Ed buried his face on the pillow and mumbled, "Just a dream."
Suddenly, a loud knock on the door was heard.
"Yes, it's open." Al stood up.
"What was that loud thud?" Winry asked as she entered the room.
"Well, brother fell off the bed." Al replied, controlling himself from laughing.
"Noooo waaayyy." Winry's eyes widened. She rushed to where Ed was sitting and knelt at the side of the bed, shook Ed and said, "Ed…? Edwaaaard."
"I'm not deaf Winry." Ed muttered under the pillow.
"I can't believe you fell off your bed." Winry started laughing and Al soon followed.
"C'mon get up sleepy head, breakfast is ready. There'll be another story telling later." Winry joked as she stood up and reached out a hand to Ed.
"Don't remind me." Ed looked up, exhausted.
He took Winry's hand and pulled himself up. But as soon as his hand touched hers, the last part of his dream flooded his head and a sudden surge of electricity shot up in his entire body, making him weak and tense.
"Aaaahhh!!"
"BLAG!!
"I'm okay." Winry laughed.
Al sighed in relief, standing on the other side of the room.
Winry stopped laughing when she remembered she fell on the floor -- with Ed.
Her heart started pounding heavily as she turned to look up. For a moment both of them were rendered speechless, trapped in each other's eyes. Ed was just a few inches away from Winry and with such awkward yet promising position; he felt he's living his dream.
"Uh--are you two okay?" Al asked awkwardly, keeping his distance.
"Uh, yes!" Winry and Ed said in unison.
They both stood up immediately, releasing each other.
"You two should hurry down now. You wouldn't want Izumi to be picking you up, would you?" Winry said as she made her way to the door, laughing uneasily.
"Yeah…" Ed replied softly, his head low.
"Okay, coming!" Al replied cheerfully as he turned towards the door.
Little does Ed and Winry know, Al was the happiest of them all.
