The three of us sat at the table, plates that were full of untouched pancakes and syrup in front of us. All I could do was stare at me plate and tug nervously at my red sweatshirt. I couldn't bare to look neither Granny nor Roy in the eye. Especially not Roy,with Granny constantly switching between glaring at him to glaring at me, all while slowly eating her breakfast. Finally she deeply sighed and I glanced up to see her shake her head. I snuck another glance at Roy and saw him looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"...Protection?"
Both Roy and I quickly turned to face her. I didn't quite understand what she meant, however Roy had a bright red dusting across his cheeks. "Did the two of you at least use protection? A condom? Anything?" My face flamed and I looked away from them and began to play with my food. "You didn't, did you? Do you know what kind of diseases you could get?"
"Granny!" I cried out, mortified, and covered my face with my hands.
"Ma'am, I can assure you, I have no sexually transmitted diseases. And I-"
Granny however had began to mutter to herself about 'young people today' as she stabbed at her pancake remains. She quickly finished and stood from the table.
"Since I made breakfast, the two of you can clean up."
"Yes ma'am," We chorused as she left the room. Roy and I quickly finished our food and moved toward the sink at the same time.
"Um, I can wash the dishes, you wanna dry?" I murmured as I started to fill the sink.
"Sure," Roy grabbed the rest of the plates from the table and put them into the sink.
It was a nice and quiet process; once I deemed the dish clean, I'd place it in his awaiting hands. He'd dry it and find where it belonged. When we finished, I dried my hands on the dishrag Roy held. After, when I looked up at him, he gave me a gentle smile before wrapping an arm around my waist and pulled me against him. I stood on my toes and kissed the corner of his mouth before wrapping my arms around Roy's shoulders and burying my head in his blue dress shirt. We rocked back and forth, enjoying the quiet.
"Just what is this on the floor?" I jumped back as I heard Granny screech from upstairs. I heard a cough from behind me and turned to look at Roy to see that he was trying to constrain his laughter.
"Roy?" Roy let a small chuckle escape before responding,
"You might want to go clean up your mess."
"What mess?" I frowned and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Well, you didn't exactly clean yourself very well after-"
"Roy! You let me walk out like-ugh!" I whacked him on the shoulder as he doubled over laughing at me. Leaving the bastard in the kitchen, I headed upstairs to clean the mess before Granny blew a fuse.

It's been a total of two weeks since Edward and I have done anything. I believe I'm lucky to get a sloppy goodnight kiss and a quick peck in the morning before we are separated for the day. I don't know if Ms. Rockbell, Winry, and Alphonse are trying to separate us on purpose but...
The first week with all three of them in the house, whenever Edward and I had managed to get a moment together, one of them would come up with something for us to do- separately. Things like chopping firewood, were common for me; helping clean the already-sparkling rooms of the house. For Edward, it was often spending time with Alphonse, which I completely understand and respect...It just happened so frequently and was often initiated by Alphonse. Not only that, but after the first few times, I could tell Ed was getting annoyed with him. Other common things were Winry wanting to check on Ed's automail and Pinako and Winry wanting help in the kitchen. By the end of the day, we were usually too exhausted to do anything. Even if we did have the energy, we quickly learned the walls were thin.
By the second week, the excuses were ridiculous.
"Roy go clean the bathroom!"
"But I just finished it ten minutes ago!" I was beginning to understand Ed's fear of Winry.
Towards the end of the week, Al demanded that Den needed to go for yet another walk just as Edward was walking out of the kitchen towards me. I knew better than to argue with the younger Elric, so I walked over to the coat rack and grabbed my coat. After I had slipped one arm into the coat, Ed grabbed onto it.
"You don't have to-"
"Edward! You know better than to leave things alone in the oven!" Winry interrupted from the kitchen. Edward shot me an annoyed look before storming away to the kitchen. I called Den and headed out into a light snowfall.
Once we were down the road a ways from the house, Den went off and began sniffing a bush. I took this time to look up at the fluffy white snowflakes falling around me. Letting out a long sigh, I closed my eyes. However when I opened them, all I saw was darkness.
"Wha-" It took me a moment before I realized there was a cloth over my eyes. I reached up and took it off to find it was my blue scarf.
"Stupid." I looked to my left, shocked to find Ed there. He looked up at me playfully as he began to wrap the scarf around my neck. "You left your scarf, and I can't have you getting sick!"
I chuckled as he looped his arm through mine, pressing himself close to it.
"So that's how you got past them?"
"Yep!" He snuggled his face into my arm before sighing, "I don't know why-"
"I know, neither do I..."
Den barked further up the road as an indication to follow her. I smiled as Ed still held onto my arm as we walked, slipping his hand into mine.
Once we reached Den, she took off running into a field. I frowned and started after her when Ed tugged me back. "She always does that, she'll be back in a minute." I could tell there was more he wanted to say, so I squeezed his hand."They'll have to go shopping tomorrow."
"Why?"
"I...Might've hidden some key ingredients that Winry and Granny need for dinner tomorrow in the backyard..."I laughed at his casual tone. "So that's why the snow drifts look bigger?"
"Well," Ed got a bit flustered,"I had to use alchemy so they woudn't see my footprints!"
"I'm glad...Ed, there's been something...I've been wanting to ask you."
"Yeah, what?"
"When we go back to Central, will you move in with me?" Ed blinked up at me, surprised, "Um, y-yeah, sure!" He suddenly snuggled my arm again, grinning wildly.
"What's gotten into you?" Den came back to us, covered in snow.
"Oh, I'm just glad I'm able to get out of the dorms. And this means I'll be able to spend more time with you!" Den began to trot back toward the house, signifying that it was the end of the walk. We began to follow the old dog at a much slower pace. "When do we have to go back?"
"Well, I have to go back in a few days time, I don't want to use up all my sick days just yet." Ed raised his eyebrow and began to frown as I continued. "You don't have to come back for awhile-"
Ed vigorously shook his head, his braid swinging, "No, I'll go when you go!"
"But your brother-"
Ed rolled his eyes, "I love him, really, but when he purposefully butts into my time with you..." We had reached the bottom of the hill that led up to the house. Ed grabbed my other arm and pulled me down. Smirking, I complied with his wishes. However just as our lips touched, a wrench was thrown at my head.
"We need more firewood!"
"I cant wait 'til tomorrow," I growled softly, rubbing my sore head.
