Ed rubbed the front of his pocketwatch gently, admiring the chimera design as Winry would if she was there. That pocketwatch had been through a lot, and it showed.
The raised design on the front was colored differently from the base, and the back side had scratchs all over it. When you opened it, as Ed did now, you could see grime on the face of the watch, and scratches and dirt on the inside top. He closed it again, noticing the click. That wasn't supposed to happen... The clasp had worn down too.
The chain was alright, but how much could you do to a chain, really? Although this WAS the fourth replacement Ed had attached... Edward swung the pocketwatch on it's chain and caught it in his auto-mail hand, not noticing the door open and Mustang walk in.
"Hello FullMea--" Mustang stopped short and stared at the pocketwatch, then snatched it from Ed's hand and examined it like Ed was doing before. He sighed exhasperatedly. "Look at this watch, FullMetal! It's been DEMOLISHED!" Ed stared at his feet while Mustang spun around to the door, still holding his pocketwatch. He walked out, slamming the door behind him.
Edward sighed with relief just as the door banged open again. "But honestly, Ed," Mustang said tiredly. "You've only had the damn thing for four days!"
XD I was looking at my pocketwatch and it's all scuffed up... I'VE only had it for like a week. Poor things, pocketwatches. No respect.
In a hurry to post this, so no review responses, sorry.
