Chapter 10

Ed's Feelings

"Brother?" Al asked, softly knocking on Ed's bedroom door.

It had been hours since everyone had found Kaname's letter. Never, had Al seen Winry or Pinako as depressed as they were, since that time almost five years ago. He hadn't known Kaname for very long, or spent that much time with her, but he knew... he knew that she was one who would give up anything, to ensure the safety of her loved ones. He also knew that she was someone who could touch your heart and soul, just by spending a few days with her. But Pinako and Winry had been with her for about two months. They had been touched, and now that very feeling was tearing them apart from the inside, out.

Al knocked again, "Brother?"

He heard Ed shift around the room a bit, and then he slowly opened the door, "What is it?" he whispered.

If he could, Al would've frowned. He knew that Kaname's departure had been hard on Ed, he just never knew it had affected him to this extent.

Ed's eyes were puffy and red, they also had the begining of dark circles beneath them. His hair was messy and he had stray bits poking out from his braid. His cheeks were wet, and slightly raw, from all the wiping. His face was flushed, and yet they were pale, in the non red spots. Al also noticed that his eyes were still trickling tears.

Al hesitated, "Well, I was... uh, wondering if...er, you were alright?"

Ed looked up at his younger sibiling in defeat. Instantly, Al regretted asking the question.

"I'll... be okay." the older of the two, nodded his head. Trying to reassure himself more than his brother. Truth be told, besides loosing his mother, and thinking he let both Al and Nina down, he had never been so upset. But it was slightly different this time.

With his mother, it had been sadness and loneliness all the way. Al had been regret, anger at himself and stupidity for pressuring him into the transmutation. Nina, he felt like he had let her down, he felt like he didn't try hard enough. And in the end he felt like it was his fault she was turned into that... thing.

Kaname. She was a story different from all the others. He felt so much. Too much. It was all so painful, feeling all the different emotions swimming inside of him. He felt sadness, because she left. Loneliness, because he would never find anyone like her. Regret and anger, because of how he had treated her. Stupidity, for not believing her. He had let her down, it was his fault that she was gone.

There was nothing that he could do to bring her back. It was like she had died. He knew from experience, that he couldn't bring her back. But there was something inside him. Something that was telling him to try. That something was his heart. Ever since Pinako had read Kaname's letter, Ed's heart had been aching painfully. He had felt heartbreak before, yes. His mother. Plain and simple. But this... this was different. He couldn't stop thinking about her when she had still been there. And he couldn't stop now either. His heart wouldn't let him. It was then that Ed realized something that he hadn't before.

He loved her.

Yeah, he said that at the begining, but afterwards he thought that it was impossible to fall in love at 15, so he thought it was more of a crush than love itself. But now he realized, it was the real, genuine thing.

"Um, brother?" Al asked uncertainly.

Ed looked up at him, "Yeah?"

Hesitation again overwhelmed Al, "Erm... Winry wanted to... uhh, explain something to us. Are you...?" he trailed off, wondering he he should fininsh or not.

"Yeah." Al snapped to attention, surprised, as his brother spoke, "I'll come too."

"O-okay. Let's... uhh, go." the body of armor nodded and made his descent to the living area.

"Yeah," Ed whispered after him, "Let's go."

Winry's POV

I was nervous... VERY nervous. How would I tell them? Would they believe me, like I believed her? Everything's catching up to me. Kaname's arrival, her departure, everything. The letter.

'What did she mean by training under that 'Yukio' jerk? He was the one who...!' I sighed, 'And what did she mean by, "Ed should know him, he did, after all, meet him this morning."? What exactly happened this morning?'

"Winry..." I saw Al comming down the stairs, followed, slowly, by Ed.

'Poor Ed...' I looked at him, 'It must be hard for him.' I could tell he had feelings for her. I just didn't know how far, exactly, they went.

I stood up, "Guys." they looked at me as they took a seat across from grams and me, "There's... something I need to tell you."

"What is it Winry?" Al inquired.

My eyes lined with tears again, "I want to tell you about... Kaname's... past."
