Winry shuddered lightly as a clap of thunder rolled through the house.

"The lightning isn't anywhere close," Sciezska said rationally.

"Doesn't mean I can't still get scared," Winry snapped.

Sciezska blinked. "You were scared?" she asked, looking at Winry in the candlelight.

"No!" Winry snapped. "But I could be scared if I wanted to."

Sciezska shrugged. "Okay," she said, getting up from the sofa and heading towards the kitchen.

"Where are you going?" Winry asked, her voice shaky.

"I'm going to get some ice cream."

"Why?" Winry asked, watching Sciezska.

"Because I want some ice cream…?" Sciezska asked, rolling her eyes.

"You can eat it on the sofa," Winry told her. "You don't have to eat it at the kitchen table."

"You are scared," Sciezska said grinning.

"No, I'm not!" Winry snapped.

Rolling her eyes, Sciezska turned around. "Then why don't you want me to go to the kitchen."

"Because," Winry said with a grin, "I want to snuggle."

Neither of them mentioned the thunderstorm again. The irrational fear Winry was refusing to admit to put them both in a comfortable situation, snuggled up in each others arms.
