Sorry if I had you guys waiting too long! ;D I was kind of busy updating my other fanfics! Here's chapter six!
Chapter Six – On to Central
Once assured that Wynter was okay to stay with Nellie for a good while, the first place she headed to was the train station. Not her favorite of rides, but it helps her get around. The ride was rather dull, no one around was familiar, but she managed to strike up a conversation along the way about how to complete a set of automail limbs to a rookie. She remembered her rookie days very well, which was when she was about, well… Five.
The train stopped, and everyone started to leave their compartments and to the city. She slipped through the train doors, conveniently coming face to face with Edward. "Ed." She stated, though she couldn't help but look surprised considering they almost bumped into each other physically. "Ironic." She mumbled under her breath with slight approval on how things turned out.
"Winry? What are you doing here?" It wasn't rude, but it was curious.
"Thanks for the welcome, but it'll cost you when it really counts." She smirked somewhat she was talking about expenses. Unfortunately, Edward never got his limbs back, but Al got his body back, which made up for the misfortune. To be honest, she knew she was supposed to be disappointed, but she felt relieved. And she remembered that intense night they had. It made her shiver, it wasn't right to think about that while she was married, but it was in the past right? Right.
Seeing the the scowl on his matured features made her want to giggle, but she held her own scowl to match his. "Try cutting a guy a break, Winry, have Al pay for once," Edward insisted.
"Not a chance, you're brother has his own things to worry about. He does have a family you know," Winry pointed out in a matter of fact tone.
"Yeah," He managed a smile to show he was happy for his brother, he glanced off to the side, "I know."
Winry noticed his fast approaching distant behavior, she immediately said, "Cheer up, I came here to see you."
"Who else would you be here to see?" He asked curiously.
" Don't sound cocky," She threatened, "Anyway, I have a question."
"Shoot."
"I need your help to secure Wynter away from her phobia. She was diagnosed with it last Friday."
Edward blinked with somewhat surprise and his scowl returned, "Isn't that supposed to Russel's job?"
"Russel isn't here. He's off somewhere doing whatever the hell he wants, and so am I. So will you help me?" Winry had a hint of a sad smile on her lips, but it was replaced with a smile as she approached the ending of the sentence. "Please, Ed?"
The blonde alchemist felt his brows narrowing at the memory of what his good for nothing father had done, and it influenced his answer. Russel was an arrogant bastard in his opinion, and he proved it. "Sure." He didn't want Winry to turn out like his mother. In fact that was the last thing he wanted. Despite the fact she was married, Edward still held a strong connection with her. He hoped she felt it too one day. Feeling Winry's arms wrap around his neck, he smiled to himself.
"Let's go." She said unlatching herself from him.
