Chapter 2 of Catch Me Under the Moonlight
Disclaimer: I do not own FMA
"Brother?" Ed didn't say anything. His gold eyes were to far away to hear anything his little brother was saying. Winry was the subject of his distant mind. How could she forget everything so easily? He wanted to go back, make sure she was okay...he wanted to say goodbye...but he couldn't. Winry doesn't remember him, so there was no point in saying goodbye, right? "Brother, please say something!"
"Something." He whispered. Al was shocked; Ed rarely let his feelings show! That one whisper of emotion was all it took for Al to know immediately something was seriously bugging Ed.
"Brother what's wrong?"
"It's nothing Al." Ed said softly, ignoring the aching in his chest and looking out the train's window seeing nothing. His heart wasn't making this journey any easier; he just wanted to rip it out! He didn't want to feel this discomfort, this annoying stinging affliction. This hurt was worse than any physical pain he's every experienced. The worse part about it is...he doesn't even know why it's happening.
"You can tell me Brother! You can trust me!" Ed sighed and glanced in Al's direction.
"I trust you Al..."
"Then why won't you tell me?"
"I have a problem"
"A problem?"
"A problem that I don't have any answers to...that's why I can't tell you Al. I don't know." His voice was barely a whisper. Ed much rather keep these things to himself, but he didn't want Al to feel like he didn't trust him.
"...this is about Winry isn't?" Ed looked over at him. Was it really that obvious?
"What makes you say that?" Al remained quite long enough for it to get on Ed's nerves. "Spit it out Al." He looked up in response then sighed.
"You said that you figured out how much we really need Winry. Which is true, she does so much for us and we've never really thanked for it because we never really realized how much she does for us. I think that this affects you more than it affects me because Winry does so much more for you than she does for me, but you think it's just because of your automail don't you Brother? You look at it from this point of view because you don't want to see it the other way. You're scared! You refuse to let yourself believe you have feelings for Winry that go beyond friendship. You also refuse to notice the signs; Winry's feelings for you go beyond friendship too! She may not put it into words, but she puts it in her actions. I hoped that you would see it and take action. I watched your reactions every time and every time you had the same thoughtful look on your face. You noticed what she did and you thought about it, you'd think about it for days with that same look on your face-"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Ed interrupted, glaring at the window.
"Yes you do Brother! You know exactly what I'm talking about! You don't know how hard Winry's tried to catch your interest..." Al got quite and Ed looked over at him. "She cries over you Ed"
"I guess it's a good thing she lost her memory then"
"How can you say that?"
"There's no reason for her to cry over Edward Elric!"
"You can't change the way you feel about a person! Ed didn't you see her earlier, how when she looked at you she wasn't scared anymore! She felt something then, that's why she was starring at you, because she was curious to why she felt that way. Why she feels safe with you and why she has all these different feelings for you!" Ed never answered.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! HE-THEY WERE HERE AND I DIDN'T REMEMBER THEM!"
"Winry calm down! There's nothing you can do about that, they're long gone by now!" Pinako whispered sadly. Winry didn't know that Pinako meant that literally.
"It's not fair! I had new automail for Ed and everything!" Winry whined, slumping down in the chair she was sitting in.
"I know and I'm sure you'll get to impress him with your amazing skills when he gets back..." Winry rolled her eyes.
"Right, nothing impresses the Fullmetal Alchemist!" She muttered in disgust, crossing her arms over her chest as her eyes narrowed.
"Maybe he's protecting you, did you ever think of that?"
"PROTECTING ME!? FROM WHAT!?"
"He has a lot of enemies Winry"
"He could have just told me that! I mean seriously if I did anything to impress him at all you'd think he'd say something, but nooooo he just turns his back on me!" Winry huffed. She was beyond angry at Ed right now. How could he just ignore everything she does for him?
"I give up! I'm going to bed, goodnight Winry!" Pinako left Winry in the kitchen to sulk and be angry. Winry's eyes narrowed again as they followed her grandmother out the kitchen. Winry sighed, she'd get over it, but when Ed came back to get his automail fixed he was defiantly in for it! She got up and went to bed.
