Chapter 25

Ed stretched himself out on the couch in the living room. He stretched his arm so it covered his eyes, his other arm dangling off the edge of the couch.

Everything was going so well and then... Ed's eyes were closed tight underneath his arm. Without really knowing it, or wanting to, he replayed what had happened on the hilltop by the river earlier that evening.(A/N: Have any of you guys realized that it has been the same day for the past eight chapters? X3)

"W-what... what did you say?"

"I said I won't, Ed." Winry had said firmly. "Ed-"

"No. Forget about it."

Ed moved his arm to his forehead and opened his eyes. What was Winry about to say before I cut her off? And... now that I think about it... Ed closed his eyes again and tried to recall up every detail about that moment. Winry's had been gently blowing against her face, a few strands dancing across her mouth and chin. Her eyes were sparkling and the corners of her mouth had been turned up ever so slightly. Ed's eyes shot open. She was... smiling? But why would she be doing that unless... Well... it made perfect sense for her to be smiling if she was laughing at him... Ed quickly erased the thought from his mind. No, Winry would never laugh at someone like that. She's much too nice for that.

"Ed?" A familiar voice came from the stairway.

(AND POV SWITCH! ...also a little bit of a backtrack.)

Al's hand hovered in front of Winry's door. If Ed was that bad of a mood... then what kind of mood was Winry in? Maybe he should get a helmet first... he had no desire to get whacked in the head with Winry's wrench. But Winry may not appreciate that act. Al drew in a sharp breath and knocked lightly on Winry's door.

"Winry?" He leaned in towards the door. "Winry? Can I come in?"

No answer.

"Winry?" Al said a bit louder. "I'm coming in, ok?"

Still no reply.

Al grabbed the doorknob and opened the door, taking a side step in and closing the door behind him. Winry was sitting at her desk, her head laying on the surface. Scattered about her were nuts and bolts and random bits of automail.

Al walked over to her and placed a hand gently on her shoulder. "Winry?" Still no answer. Al gently shook her shoulder. When she still didn't respond, Al smiled slightly. "She fell asleep..." He muttered to himself. Should I wake her? Looking down at her face, Al noticed that there were damp stains on her left cheek. She was crying? Al was surprised. What on earth was going on around here?! (A/N: if it doesn't make sense why she's crying, just PM me and I can explain.) Al sighed. He turned her chair around a bit and scooped the sleeping mechanic up in his arms. He walked over to her bed and gently placed her down. He softly pulled the blankets down from underneath her and pulled them back up to her neck.

Al left Winry's room, closing the door softly behind him. Should he go and try to talk to Ed again? Or should he wait until morning when Winry was awake? Or should he even just back out of the situation all together? Al groaned. No one was telling him anything of what was going on. Last he checked, everything was going fine between Ed and Winry and they were going on their date. And now, Ed's sleeping on the couch and Winry had most likely cried until she fell asleep. She was probably trying to work on automail to distract herself so she could clear her head and be able to think of something to do, but it hadn't worked.

Al was about to groan again, but a yawn overtook him before he could. It was late and he was tired. Maybe he could think of something tomorrow after a good night's sleep. But, hopefully, he wouldn't have to because Ed thought of something. Or Winry. Or maybe someone would tell him what in sanity was going on. Al stifled another yawn. He would have to worry about this tomorrow.

Yeahhhh! NEXT MINI CHAPTER DOWN! XD. This one wasn't THAT mini... I think.

Thank you Ghibli Ninja for your hilarious reviews. XD. Also thank you Jaclynkaliegh, Animecontrol, DonutKnightz, Berribex112, and Esmeralda I for your constant(or at least more than one. XD) reviews!

And you guys wanted my summary of story so far... WARNING: Right now I am trying to blink away tears from being near my dad chopping onions, and I am tired after playing with my cousins for the weekend. This may not be my best work ever. Sue me. HERE YOU GO:

Ed came home to Resenbool six months after he left, and somehow ended up in Winry's bed, and Winry was so happy she hit him with wrench multiple times. Then Winry almost saw Ed naked and a little girl tried to admit Winry liked Ed. Then Pinako and Ed fought like always and then Ed and Winry fought and then Winry started checking Ed out while he was shirtless. Then we found out that Winry and Al were doing writing each other about, probably, something embarrassing, that she didn't want Ed to see, so it was probably stuff about him. Ed then destroyed Winry's room to find the letters and Winry felt like killing him. Later, Ed gave Winry some pie that was too sweet and Winry gave Ed some 'sweet stuff' back by kissing him on the cheek! Al came home and Ed and he went to go do complicated alchemy stuff, which resulted in Al blowing up his clothes, but he himself was unharmed. Then Winry's friend, Jac, came over and said that Ed was hot while Ed was keeping the girls out of his and Al's bedroom as Al was still naked. She left after blowing Ed a kiss, which he didn't see, leaving Winry mad at her. Ed then had a talk with Al about Mei, which he found out that they may or may not have been dating. Then when Ed was working on fixing porch boards, he and Winry accidentely kissed, which led to Ed kissing Winry on his free will a second later. Ed then apologized for kissing Winry and she slammed the door in his face. Ed, after a talk from Al, then saw that he was an idiot and he tried to make it up to Winry by cleaning her workshop and taking her on a picnic.
