Chapter 2
Where is Al?
Ed woke up late the next morning. Ed rubbed his eyes tiredly. He checked the clock, 10:38. He slowly got out of bed and put his pants and his beater on. He went down starts to find Aunt Pinako in the kitchen starting lunch. He went to the living to find Al, but he wasn't there. He went back in the kitchen to talk to Auntie.
"Hey, I guessed I missed breakfast."
"Yeah you did. But you can have a bowl of cereal or something."
"Cereal...I guess." He headed over to a cupboard to pick out some cereal.
"Well next time don't sleep in and maybe you would be eating eggs." Ed sat down and was starting to eat. Then he remembered Al was missing.
"By any chance, do you know where Al is?" Pinako turned around to face him.
"I don't know I thought you would know. I woke up and he wasn't here." Ed stopped eating now.
"How would I know. I just woke up. He didn't leave a note or anything."
"No. Why don't you go ask Winry. She might know something." Ed thought for a minute before getting up.
"Well if you hear anything come get me." Pinako nodded her head in response. Ed headed to the workshop to find Winry working on some automail. He stood in the door way for a few minutes just watching her before he walked in. "Hey Winry." She jumped up a bit. She turned around and saw Ed a few feet away from her.
"Oh hey. You scared me." He let out a little chuckle. "So whats up?"
"Well you still need to fix my arm a bit and by any chance, do you know where he went?"
"I'll do your arm later, and I have no idea. I thought you would know."
"No. Well I'm going to go look for him. I'll be back in about 1-2 hours so you can do my arm."
"Ok." Ed started to walk out."Oh and Ed...(Ed stopped and looked at her) Don't worry too much about him. He can take care of himself. I'm sure he's fine." Ed gave her a smile and walked out. Winry got back to work.
Ed walked out of the house and started heading out to the river bank where him and Al always go and sit by the river. After a few minutes of walking, he reached the river bank. "Al? Hey Al! You here?" No response. He thought for a minute. 'Maybe he went and visited mom.' He headed over there. When he got there, he called his name a few times but he didn't get a response. He went to their house, well used to be house, and looked there but he wasn't there either. He checked his watch. Its been a while so he decided to head back to the Rockbell house. "Hey! I'm back."
"Did you find him?" Pinako walked out of the kitchen.
"No. I thought he'd come back here."
"Nope. Haven't heard a word."
"Where could he be damn it?"
"Well he has to come back sooner or later. You shouldn't worry Ed, If he's not back by tomorrow, then you can worry. He's probably out in the town meeting people or something."
"I haven't thought about it. I guess I'm not used to him being human." He put his hand behind his head and rubbed it. Pinako just grinned at him and went back into the kitchen. "You should go get your arm fixed."
"Right..." Ed headed to the workshop. He found Winry by the window enjoying the nice breeze. She didn't hear him come in. She was in a daze. Ed came up to her and without thinking put his arms around her neck. She jumped up from being scared. She turned around and their nose touched. They looked in each others eyes. Ed started to slowly lean in but then it registered in his head that it was WINRY. He stopped and quickly stepped back. Winry looked at in kinda shocked but then thought about the same thing.They had a weird silence and they both hated it. So Ed decided to break the silence.
"Umm Winry..."
"Hmm.."
"Can you fix my arm?"
"Oh umm...yeah.." Winry got the supplies and Ed took his shirts off like last time. They didn't look each other in the eyes, they couldn't. Ed laied down and Winry begain working. They didn't talk for most of the time. They sat there in silence.
Once Winry was down, Ed got up and moved his arm around to make sure it was fine. He looked and Winry and she was putting things away. He walked up to her and she turned around to face him. They were a few feet away from each other this time. "Thanks for fixing my arm..."
"No problem." They stood there in silence for a few more minutes until Ed spoke.
"Well I guess I'll go see if Al is back."
"Yeah you do that." He walked out of the workshop and Winry leaned back against the wall. 'OMG...what the hell happened?' She stood there in confusion. Ed went to his and Als bedroom to see if he was there. He quietly opened the door and saw Al sleeping peacefully. He would of woke him up but it was kinda late. He decided to wait til the morning to talk to him. He went downstairs to get something to drink before he went to bed. He ran into Winry when he got to the bottom of the stairs. Winry was falling but he caught her before she hit the ground. He pulled her up and their bodies were touching. Winry stepped aside so he could go around her. Winry went to her room and Ed watched her go up the stairs before going to the kitchen. He got a glass of water and went up to bed.
AN-Well I'll end it here. HAHA you didn't get to find out where Al was! But you'll find out in the next chapter. It is kinda ovious but not really. You gotta think about it. Well anyways til next time!
