AN:Third drabble! Beware of possible OOCness. Sorry if the pairing isn't too obvious...
Warnings: Possible spoilers for up to episode 17.
Pairing: Al/Winry
The train rumbled to a stop into the station. A dirty blond haired boy stepped hesitantly out, clutching a suitcase.
"Al!"
"Winry!"
Despite the change from metal to flesh the girl clearly knew it was her childhood friend that stood there. He looked just like she imagined, but something seemed to be missing from this picture...
"Al, where's Ed?"
Al seemed to darken for a moment as he shifted his weight to better grip the suitcase in his hands. Winry jogged over to him, watching vigilantly behind him at the train door, monitoring the people who came in and out.
"He... decided to stay in Central."
"Oh..." Winry looked down for a moment before sighing. She pressed her lips tightly together as she put on a look of resolve before grabbing Al's arm, dragging him down the stairs and out of the station.
"If Ed wants to be that way, then fine, but I'm getting at least one of you to stay home!"
"Home...?" Al blinked back his surprise. He hadn't been sure that he would still be welcomed here. Sure Winry sounded glad when she learned that the brothers might be coming back together to Rizenbul over the phone, but after the obvious disappointment of Ed not being there and all the years they left her in the dark... Al wasn't sure he really deserved to have a home to return to.
"Of course! Now that one of you has finally returned, I'm not going to let you leave so soon."
Al smiled as he allowed himself to be dragged, looking up ahead at the sign in front of the all too familiar house. He had a home to return to all along.
