Title: Seven AM Routine
Author: Fullmetal Ai
Word: Tabletop

The sunlight filtering through the blinds that covered his windows was what woke Edward Elric up at seven o'clock at the morning. He tossed, turned, and tossed some more, trying to find a comfortable position in which to go back to sleep. Finally, he stood from the bed with a sigh, his quest to lull himself back to sleep an utter failure. Clad in only his boxers, Edward stepped out of his room, left leg making clanking sounds as he walked. He stretched his arms above him, making a satisfied noise as he felt the muscles in his left arm extend and rest. He yawned as his legs took him to the kitchen.

"Good Morning, Starshine. The world says hello!" A cheerful voice chirped from the kitchen. Edward looked up and grinned.

"Yeah, morning to you too." Edward sat down at the table, propping his head up on his right hand, his automail hand. "How long've you been awake?"

"A few minutes," she said, turning to him with a grin. "You just woke up too, huh?"

"Yup."

"Breakfast?"

"The usual."

"All right." With that, she turned her cerulean eyes to face the stove, taking out a pan and setting it on a burner, then rushing over to the fridge to take out some nessecary condiments. Edward stared at the girl he had grown up with, a smile making it's way across his face. At the moment, she seemed so happy just to be making breakfast for the two of them; Edward wouldn't have it any other way.

"God, you're beautiful .." he said, almost without thinking. She turned, staring right at him. A small amount of long, pale hair made its way across her face.

"Huh?" A light flush had made its way across her cheeks. Edward chuckled, standing up and walking over toward her, cupping her face with his right hand and making her gasp slightly from the feel of cold metal on her flushed face.

"You heard me, Winry," Edward whispered, grinning cockily and tucking the strewn wisp of her hair safely behind her ear. Winry grinned and removed his hand gently.

"Shut up and let me cook, Edward." Edward pretended to look hurt.

"How cruel."

"Is this going to become a routine?"

"I believe it already has."

"Fine then. I'll play along," She said with a smirk. Wrapping her arms gently around his neck, she breathed in his scent and smiled, a dreamy look in her eyes.

"Beautiful? Edward, you think quite highly of me." Edward smirked, leaning in and kissing her quickly before lifting her up and placing her on the tabletop, slowly managing to climb gently on top of her.

"You're right. I should think higher. You're gorgeous." Winry reddened. How he managed to do this to her every morning, she would never know. Edward lowered his face to hers, breathing gently against her neck. Winry shivered. She didn't know if she could ever get used to this ..

"Winry .."

"Shut up and kiss me." And he did. Had Winry been thinking coherently, she would have thanked whatever higher being there was for the mere fact that the stove hadn't been turned on yet.
