Edward couldn't help feeling guilty. He had bought her all those earrings to soften the anger, not so she could ruin her ears! Seeing all those little holes, there because he had given her those things and she wanted to keep them close, he always found himself wondering how much they had hurt. No matter how many times she had reassured him that it was no more than a pinch, he still felt like he had hurt her again somehow.

Notes: based on "Simple People" which is a small side-comic by Arakawa. You can find it in the FMA forums here: http(colon-slash-slash)www(dot)fullmetal-alchemist(dot)com(slash)forums(slash)index(dot)php?showtopic(equals)11168 Just scroll down to "FMA Book in Figure Red Gaiden: Simple People." It's good, you guys should read it!
Wow, we're a quarter of the way through! Man, that feels like it went quickly...
