14 Cryin'

"Edward Elric, you're such a jerk!" she yelled at him, tears streaming down her face.

"What did you call me? I'm not the one leaving my stuff lying around in the way all the time!" he yelled back, and grimaced.

"Yep. I sure did miss all that yelling." Al sighed, and Mei nodded silently.

"Do you even know how much time I spent working on that automail arm?" she demanded. "And then you walk in here and just destroy everything!"

Ed couldn't stand it. Every time he broke something or made her cry – or both – he had to deal with the guilt. Only Winry (or thinking about his brother) could make him feel this bad, and he hated it.

"Didn't I just tell ya two minutes ago that I'm sorry! Stop crying already, will ya?" he all but begged her.

"You are 'sorry' every time!" she yelled, stomping through the kitched. "But you're so careless with the things I love! You don't even try to change your attitude… but guess what? Relationships are all about compromise!"

Did she just say relationship?

Okay, yeah, the two of them were in some sort of complicated relationship – but somehow he had missed the part where they had gone public about it.

"Stop pretending not to know what she's talking about, Ed… We've been home for awhile now. Don't you think we've caught you doing it by now?" Mei grinned.

Ed raised an eyebrow at her, genuinely not understanding. "Doing what?"

"Oh, come on, Brother. Every time we get home you have this guilty expression on your face." Al leaned forward, whispering conspiratorially to Edward as he continued. "And Winry's hair is all messed up, so you've been wildly making out or…"

"SHUT UP, AL!" Ed snapped, his face gone red as a tomato. "Nothing happened! Geez!"

I need to be more careful... Al is too smart for his own good...

Ed's thoughts were interrupted when Winry, who was still irritated, mumbled something and started scribbling something on a piece of paper.

Ed glanced at it. "What is that?"

"It's a list of every time you made me cry or made me mad at you… and now I'm adding today's incident."

Ed ripped the list out of her hand, his gold eyes blazing. "Do you think that's funny?" he shouted.

"Uhm…" Winry felt as though she'd lost her voice; she opened her mouth, but nothing would come out. She had been angry, but Ed… Ed was furious.

"Every time I see you crying I feel like the meanest bastard in the world, and you… you made a list about it?"

Maybe this time, she was the one who had gone a little over the top. "It's… just a stupid list…" she murmured.

"'Number One,'" Ed read aloud. "'When we were kids, Ed and Al made me a doll using alchemy, and I was so scared I started crying… he didn't even comfort me or apologize to me!'"

"Okay, fine! I wrote down everything I cried about – I thought I could get you back with it sometime, but I wasn't planning on using it today!"

He ignored her and kept reading. He was no longer shouting but temper still shone in his eyes and kept his tone sharp. "'Number Forty-Three. Edward lied to me: he knew that Scar killed my parents and didn't even bother to tell me. I had to hear it for myself when they talked about it…"

Falling silent, Ed lay the piece of paper down on the kitchen table.

"Ed…" Winry began.

"What now, Winry?" Ed snapped. "I can't believe you. You think I have fun watching you cry all the time? Did you ever think for one moment about how crappy I felt when I saw how hard you cried because of the Scar thing?"

"I-I'm sorry… I didn't…"

It was Winry's turn to feel the stab of guilt now. That list had been meant to be a joke. She would never have written it in the first place if she had known how seriously he would take it.

Without another word, Ed went upstairs, slamming the door loudly behind him.

"Oh boy. Looks like this time it was Winry who screwed up," Mei whispered to Alphonse.

He shook his head. "Mei, you sure have a lot to learn about the Ed-Winry relationship. They'll spend a day or two not talking to each other, tops, and then they'll be back to yelling at each other again. You'll see."

Mei blinked.

"Besides," Al whispered, "I don't think Ed is even that mad at her. Sure, he's pissed now, but I think he also wants her to see how he feels having her yell at him all the time when he's trying to get through to her."

And, as Mei was beginning to find out, the not-so-little-anymore Alphonse knew his older brother very, very well…

Cant help xD I love them fighting... and I love pissed Ed xD God I'm sick...

Review please!
