- Can't remember which Brotherhood ending this was, but it looks like it's morning and Winry is sitting on the side of the bed, looking down at a blissful Ed laying next to her. She gives him the sweetest, most tender smile, and I just melted. -

37. Mornings.

Morning was Winry's favorite time of day. She loved that quiet middle-time; suspended serenely between the night and the daylight hours. It was the time of day she felt the most calm; the most at ease.

She loved how it looked, too. Everything took on a faint golden glow. Edges blurred, making the sharpened angles of daylight hazy and undefined.

She especially loved seeing Ed this time of day. Often, a good night's sleep softened his usually hard and intense features into a contented and untroubled appearance.

Winry smiled sweetly at Ed as he opened his eyes next to her. "Good morning," she murmured, touching his cheek gently.

Ed said nothing; just closed his eyes once more and smiled blissfully. Winry hadn't seen that expression in a long time. It warmed and softened her heart, just like the early morning sun warmed softened the world around them.
