Chapter 35: Travels

"Call me when you get there."

"I know."

"How long will you be this time?"

"About a week."

"A week?" Winry rolled her eyes at Ed as he scrunched up his face at her in disapproval. They were currently standing at the train station, Winry preparing to board for her trip to Rush Valley. Garfiel had requested she come back to visit and promised she would have a few jobs while she were at it. Rush Valley was good money and Winry would have been lying if she didn't say she didn't miss the people.

"A week isn't long. You can get some work properly done while I'm away." She stated, picking up her work case. Ed gave a stubborn huff.

"Maybe… But you haven't been feeling well. Are you sure you should be traveling?" The alchemist asked. Winry giggled and gave him a swift kiss.

"I love that you're worried, but I'm feeling fine." She assured once again as Ed huffed in annoyance.

"You keep saying that but I'm not convinced," he muttered. Winry gave an apologetic smile as Ed crossed his arms and allowed a defeated sigh to escape despite the annoyed look on his face. "Whatever. Be safe getting out there and don't let Garfiel work you too hard."

"He never does, Ed." Winry answered, rolling her eyes. The train whistled, snapping the pair out of their own world. "Oh, well I'd better hurry!" she rushed forward, not noticing the sudden drop in her fiancé's shoulders. "Stay out of trouble!" she stated swiftly, kissing his cheek.

"I know." He muttered distractedly as she grabbed her bag and rushed onto the train, waving over her shoulder at him. Ed gave a small wave back. Finding an seat, Winry quickly dropped her bag and looked out the window. Ed was still waiting at the platform, hands shoved in his pockets and dejected look on his face. Mildly entertained, she opened her window just as the train began moving and leaned out of it. "I love you, Edward Elric!" she called brightly. Ed stiffened significantly and looked around frantically, earning curious looks from those around. He ducked his head and waved as the train picked up speed before walking briskly away. Winry giggled as she closed the window and dropped back into her seat.

She was going to miss that man.
