Author's Notes: Yes, yes, here's another one for you. (Perky smile) I hope you enjoy it. This was actually a lot longer than I thought it'd be … Hmm … But I doubt any in the future will go above 500 words, which is a little bit more than double the length of this story.
Disclaimer: (Looks around) Do I look like I own it? If I did, I'd be rolling in cash … and free merchandise.
As the Children Play
Chapter II; Because it's You
"Ed, you just got more money, right?" Winry asked eagerly.
"Um … yes …"
'Oh, crap … I shouldn't have answered her …'Edward thought to himself.
Winry squealed and yanked Ed by his left arm, pulling him out to the town. "Oh, Ed, you won't BELEIVE some of the new shops they have in town! They've got this great new shop with loads of neat gadgets and tools … Can you buy me something? Of course you can, c'mon!"
Edward was pulled into the nearest shop by Winry.
"Win … I don't have that much money," he said quietly as he watched her check out some new stuff.
"Oh, Ed," Winry said, not hearing him, "I haven't had anything new in ages." She marvelled at some of the new mechanics' clothes, tools, and other items.
Ed stayed silent; he knew that he hadn't sent her anything for holidays, birthdays, or anything, not even a letter, for a few years. The only time they conversed with each other was when he came to get something fixed.
"Okay, Win, you can have whatever you want." He smiled at her and she squealed in delight.
"Thanks, Ed! I'll pay you back when I get the money."
"… Don't worry about it."
She hugged him for a moment before returning to her shopping.
"I wish I could do more for you, Win …" Ed whispered to himself.
Für bin mich traurig. (For I am sorry.)
(Is bouncing around.) I hope you liked this! I'll try and get some more … fluffy stuff for you … but for now, it's just sweetness.
