Winry whipped her furrowed brow. This wasn't going as fast as she would like it to, sense Granny died she didn't have the help she once had. She was just grateful that Edward wasn't pressuring her into finishing, like her last costumer. And speaking of Ed...

"Winry! Are you finished for the moment? Breakfast is ready, and its going to get cold..." Winry perked up. 'he made BREAKFAST? Is this the same Ed...?' she rushed downstairs, and almost fell over in exasperation when she saw.

Edward was standing happily over an ordered meal. Winry gapped at him. "You ORDERED breakfast...? Where the heck...?" She sputtered, and then just gapped in amazement at him, then shook her head. "You can be really thick, sometimes." She glared at him. "How far did that poor man have to travel just to get us our food?"

Edward flinched. "Um..."

"Edward! Shit... you paid him well, right?" She glared at him menacingly, and her hand went for her wrench. Edward followed her hand movements, and gave her pleading eyes.

"YES! YES! I paid him well, I promise! Just... don't hit me!" He wanted to cower, but didn't. He just stared right back up at Winry, whos nostrils seemed to be flaring, but she lowered the wrench.

"FINE. You better eat all this, because im making my own breakfast"

"WHAT! Come on! Win-" He whined, Winry actually was amused. He was way to old for whining.

"No"

He humphed, and Winry beamed. 'so there' she thought triumphantly, and went to go make herself some non-ordered breakfast, while Ed pouted with a bunch of food in front of him.

Winry stood in front of her full-length mirror (A/N- I know she doesn't actually have one. She does in this story, meh! X3) in apprehension. She didn't look good in dressed, at least she herself didn't think she looked good in dresses. She moved her hands up and down the silky blue dress, and wondered why her mom had never thrown it out, and why she was even wearing her mothers dress.

'We should go out tonight' Edward commented lazily from the couch, where Winry was measuring his leg length. Winry blushed, and paused her work to see if he said anything else.

'As payback from me to you for doing my automail' He stated simply. Winry raised a brow.

'Isn't that what you pay me for?'

'Yeah, but that isn't romantic in the slightest, is it?' He said, giving her a shadow of a smirk before leaning back, and waving his hand. 'If you don't want to...'

Winry almost jumped out of her skin. 'If its not a problem! Id love to, saves me the time of making dinner.' Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked down. What was going on! She barely knew him, he had only been here for about two weeks.

'But', she thought, 'it never hurt to have friends around!' She sighed. Yes, a friend. That's all he meant to her, right? She jumped when she heard a knock on her door.

"Win, you ready- whoa"

He halted in the doorway and gulped. "Wow, Win, you look gorgeous" He flushed slightly, and looked down for a second before quickly looking up. "You ready to go?"

Winry nodded, through it felt like she was numb. 'Stupid! Compliment him back!' her head screamed at her. She winced lightly. "You look, er, really nice today, Ed" Which was sort of true, earlier he had been lazing around in a T-Shirt and boxers, but now he was dressed rather formally. She smiled at him, and walked behind him as he went down the stairs.

She took a deep breath as he opened the door for her. 'No big deal' she repeated to herself. 'Just going out to dinner with an automail patient for thanks, that it.'

But as he smiled at her, and as she smiled back and linked arms with him on the road down Resembool, she wasn't quite sure of that anymore.
