I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist© or the song No es Amor (obsession)
(Well it's early in the morning
And my heart is feeling lonely
Just thinkin bout you baby
Got me twisted in the head
'Why can't I sleep? It's nearly morning and I have to get up in a bit. I need to go to sleep.' Edward let his mind wander from thing to thing. He knew he needed to get to sleep. He had to get up a 7:00 sharp the next morning.
Edward turned over onto his side and closed his eyes. All he could see were flashes of Winry. He had just gotten back from Risembool after a brief period of relaxation and getting his auto-mail repaired, AGAIN. He remembered how he and Winry had talked, the night before he had to leave.
(And I dont know how to take it
But it's driving me so crazy
I dont know if it's right
I'm tossin turning in my bed)
Edward turned his pillow over to feel the cooler side against his face. 'Ugh. I'm never gonna get any sleep at this rate.' He sata up and put his elbows on his knees.
'Why can't I stop thinkin about her?' Edward thought. He felt a funny feeling in his stomach. What was happening to him? He knew that he didn't love her. Or maybe he did. He looked around the dark room, and then at his brother's body of armor.
He wanted desperately to ask his brother what it was like to be in love, but Al wouldn't have known. Al had never been in love, from what Ed had known. He still wanted Al's opinion, but he decided to keep the silence, He didn't want to know if Winry had loved him back. He only wanted to dream about her, and leave it at that.
He saw in the darkness, a familiarness. He looked out the window, to see the pouring rain by his bed. It seemed as if the rain knew what he was thinking and wanted to soothe him back to sleep.
Edward laid down again and pushed the covers to his side. He rubbed his face on the pillow again to find that it was, once again, hot. Edward looked to the other side of the room. He got up and walked over to the small closet he had to himself. He looked all the way to the right, where he ahd kept his spare pillows. He took one, threw it on the bed and picked up his pants. He took out his pocketwatch to check the time. It was 5 o'clock, approximately.
(It's 5 oclock in the morning
And I still can't sleep
Thinkin bout your beauty it makes me
Weak...)
It was this time of morning where Edward went throught every emotion, if he was up. He felt more acquainted to the night than any other time of day. At night, everything could be at peace for him. He could do anything that he wanted to. The night set him free.
He went through envy, pain, joy, peace and many other feelings at night. before he went to bed, it all came back to one emotion, numbness. He couldn't feel for a few minutes. All he had to do was lay down and close his eyes to get right back to happiness. He was happy when he dreamed, because he dreamed of Winry.
It seemed that dreaming was Edward's only escape. Dreaming, at night.
(I'm feeling hopeless in my home
I dont know what to do
I think I'm in love Baby...)
Edward came to the conclusion, before shutting his eyes that he loved Winry. It kept nagging at him, and this decided to go on ni his mind while he dreamed about Winry because a few minutes after he closed his eyes, he was fast asleep, for a short period of time.
Once Edward awoke, his brother was shaking him.
"Brother! We have to leave in 5 minutes to get to the office!" exclaimed Al.
Ed felt his forehead and saw that he was sweating. 'I guess in the middle of the night I pulled the covers on me again.' Ed said, examinig the covers over his legs. He took his pants from the ground and pulled them up his legs. He took his black jacket, and pulled it over him quickly. He reached in one of the drawers, somewhat by his bed and found his brush. He quickly bushed his hair back and then held it in place. He braided his hair skillfully fast, and wrapped the ends with a black, skinny rubberband.
"Ok, I'm ready Al. Let's go!" Edward grabbed his cloak hanging on the hanger behind the door and dashed out of the room, speeding ahead of his brother. Al locked up and ran after Edward.
'Let's see. We have about five minutes to get to the office. In two I can get breakfast.' Edward thought quickly. He had been in this type of situation many times before. Being 16 and a Dog of the Military for 4 years, he considered himself to be a pro at rushing.
Edward dashed out of the small hotel's oak doors and dashed down the street . He headed into a back alley that lead to a back door of a restaraunt. Edward happened to be a very priveleged customer there, and knew he could get his food fast and for his money. Edward bust into the back door and saw a small table with a plate of food waiting for him. The owner, Sparks, was standin at the kitchen door yelling to one of the cooks to get a glass of milk. Once Edward entered, Sparks stopped yelling. The small enclosed room was always there for Edward, once he ad gotten to know Sparks. Sparks was a large man with a heavy accent from a foreign city. He had a curly mustache, with a small puffy grey beard to match.
"Hello there my boy! I figured you would want the special, as usual?" Sparks asked. "You know me all too well. Since you do, you figure that I'm in a hurry right?" Edward said, breathless.
"Ah my boy, yes. I wrapped everything up for you so you can eat it on your way down to the office. Would you like some milk?" Sparks asked.
"No. Milk isn't exactly one of my better tastes." Edward said. Sparks quickly gave Edward the small packaged items ad watched as Edward left the bill and dashed out of the door.
Edward found Al waiting ouside of the door and quickly grabbed Al and dragged him with him as he was running. They only had 3 minutes to get to the office, which was 5 blocks away. Edward dragged Al through the crowd and dodged nearly every person he saw. Al yelled "Excuse me" and "Pardon us" to the people who were left, bewildered by the two of them.
