-Edward's POV-

He knocked on the door when they reached the Hughes residence. Taking a deep breath as he waited. It wasn't a long wait. The door was soon opened by exactly who he and his brother had been looking for.

"Hey you-" She started.

"What did you think you were doing? Running off like that! You worried us! We thought we lost you!" He shouted, cutting her off as he grabbed hold of her shoulders firmly.

She squeaked and her eyes widened as she looked down at him.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. I just... I'm sorry." She told him before looking over her shoulder.

He followed her gaze to the living room behind her. Winry sat was Elicia and Gracia, visibly upset.

"Winry just got clued in about what happened with Hughes by Elicia." Kit whispered to him. Then she gasped and pulled herself away from him.

-Kit's POV-

She gasped as she saw Elicia curiously poke at her bag. Pulling herself out of Ed's grip she went inside and picked up her bag.

"I know it's an interesting design. But let's not be poking at my things." She told the little girl. It came out sharper than she meant for it too and Elicia's jaw dropped in shock, tears filling her eyes. Kit looked at her firmly.

She would not crumble to this little girl's tears. She couldn't. She needed to be firm. If her bag became this child's play toy, her laptop would be in trouble. That was not something she could risk.

"Elicia. It's not polite to play with other people's belongings. I'm not trying to be mean but I have some things that are very important to me in my bag." Kit told the little girl firmly.

Elicia's surprised face twisted into a scowl as she turned and marched off. Gracia and Winry gaped at her.

"What? I have a problem with children when it comes to my belongings." Kit shrugged.

"You don't like children?" Al asked as he and Edward came in.

"Not really. I prefer people that are done with puberty." She answered.

"Guys...? Did you know about Mr Hughes?" Winry asked.

"Uh. Yeah actually we did... We're sorry for your loss" Ed said, looking at Gracia.

Gracia nodded.

"I also want to apologize... you see if it wasn't for us -" Edward began.

"Ed, keep your guilt to yourself. What happened was the result of just the kind of person he was. I mean didn't he volunteer to help? It's not like you forced him." Kit interrupted.

"She's right Edward." Gracia smiled tiredly.

Kit smiled and sat on the couch with her bag in her lap. Edward sat between her and Winry.

"I know. But I can't help but feel responsible for it." He said.

Kit quietly placed a hand on his left arm as he sat to her right. He turned and gave her a small smile.

-Edward's POV-

Not long after that they left. After the door closed, he bit his lip as he heard Elicia try to comfort her mother.

"Come on. We should get a hotel room." He said.

The other's nodded they left. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Kit and Winry walking arm in arm and he couldn't help but smile to himself and touch the spot where Kit had laid her hand on him earlier.

It didn't take long to get to a hotel or to get checked in. He asked for two rooms, figuring that he and Al would be in one and the girls could share the other. All he had to do was flash the man at the desk his official silver pocket watch and he got everything he asked for.

Walking up to their rooms the four walked in silence. Upon finding the rooms he made a note that they were next to one another.

"So you two get that one and we get this one?" Winry asked looking from the door to the right to the one in front of her.

"Yep. Um, Kit can we talk a moment?" He nodded as Winry went into the room.

Kit looked from him to Al and nodded.

"I'll join you in a sec Winry. Don't claim the good bed." She said playfully.

He and Al motioned for her to join them in their room. She went along quietly and looked around the room as she went in. There was a living area with two couches and a coffee table, a bed and a door that was either a closet or a bathroom.

Kit took a seat on the couch and sat her bag beside her.

He bit his lower lip and looked at the floor.

"What's up guys?" She asked crossing her legs.

"When this is all over. Do you... I mean, are you going to want to go home?" He asked nervously.

She looked at him confused for a moment. Then she looked thoughtful, tapping her chin. Finally she shrugged.

"I've been putting off thinking about that. I mean I'm so used to being with you guys now that it's hard to think about going back to where you're not really real." She told him. It comforted him a little that she's put off thinking about that.

"I see." He nodded, smiling.

"What did you summon earlier?" Al asked.

"My precious baby." She smiled making him stared confused.

-Kit's POV-

She couldn't help but laugh at Ed's confusion.

Opening her bag, she pulled out her laptop and opened it. Fully charged and still on from the last time she used it, she was happy she had it set to do nothing when the lid was closed.

However, as the Elrics moved to behind the couch to look over her shoulder, she was mortified to find that she had minimized the google chrome window that she had open. So the two got a face full of her sexy Ed wallpaper With programs like GIMP, EA Origin, and The Sims 4 going doing the right side of the screen.

A deep blush covered her face and she quickly opened the window she had minimized.

"For the record you should have expected that. I did say I preferred Ed, didn't I?" She squeaked out.

"Yea you did. But that's not exactly the side of Brother I thought you would display." Al commented.

"I can find something much worse. Pretty sure there's websites devoted to it." She said suggestively as she checked her internet connection.

She was connected and when she clicked on the icon to see what she was connected through it simply said 'TRUTH_GATE' She shook her head and looked at what tabs she had open, ignoring Ed and Al's questions about what she was on.

She was currently on youtube, logged into her fanfiction account, on the FMA wiki, and on pinterest.

The she answered some questions. Using simple answers like; this is a laptop, the internet is a search engine mostly used for communicating and making research easier, things like that. Mostly she tried to make it clear that she didn't really know a lot about it and the she used her laptop for playing the sims, reading fanfiction and listening to music.
