"Ed? Tell me a story."
He blinked over wire-rimmed glasses at her. "What?"
She sat up slightly, propping her head up on one hand. "No, really. Tell me a story."
He put his book down and stared at her for a moment. "Uh, okay. Um..."
There was a long silence.
"Once upon a time..." Winry prompted.
"Once upon a time," he began obediently. "There was... a..." He thought for a moment.
"There was a little girl," he said finally. "Her best friends in the world were two little boys who were brothers. When they were little they did everything together. But when they got older the brothers went away. And even though the girl was the only real friend they had left, they forgot about her for a long time.
It wasn't until the little brother was lost that the big brother realised how much he needed the girl, and came home to her. And it took a long time after that for him to figure out that he'd been in love with her all along." He glanced down at Winry and was shocked to see tears streaming down her cheeks. "Winry... no... what's wrong?"
She sniffled and smiled at him. "Nothing." She pulled his book out of his lap and crawled halfway on top of him. "I love you, too," she said, feeling his arm go around her shoulders.
