Chapter 5 of Catch Me Under The Moonlight
He could hear it. As quiet as she was trying to be, he could still hear her. Al knew she was crying into her pillow, even though it's been two years. Winry was still in pain. Al...wasn't. The reason for this was because he knew why Ed had died. Even though he hated the reason for Ed's death he was still thankful. Al didn't approve of Ed's wish to bring back Al's body, he wasn't exactly glad, but appreaciatetive. It had taken him two years to realized Ed had given him life. He could feel again and sleep and eat! He could even have a relationship, though he was failing misrably due to shyness. Al went downstairs and sat down in the kitchen with Pinako. She looked at him.
"It's not your fault Alphonse."
"Not my fault," He whispered. "I know, I just wish Winry would listen long enough to know why and how Brother died. If she would stop running away every time we mention his name-"
"Al, you can't expect her to get over him quickly!" Al looked at Pinako with disbelief.
"I understand that, but it's been two years! Ed didn't want her like this that's why he wrote the letter, to give her some peace at mind! Not to make it worse! Granny you can't keep sticking up for her, you can't keep letting her sit in her room and cry!"
"How could you get over him so quickly Al, huh? He's your big brother and you act like you don't care that he's dead. You don't care that he's never coming back?" Al and Pinako both looked over at Winry standing in the door way, both in shock at what she's said. Al finaly looked away.
"You weren't there Winry, you didn't have to watch him die. I can't help, but think that I should have stopped him-"
"Yeah, you should have!"
"I hated myself for letting him go through with it. I also hated myself because I was so blind! That's what he was talking to Russell about. I should of known something was up when he said he wasn't coming back. I just let it go, because Ed didn't want talk to me about it yet. I just figured he would get to it when he wanted to talk about it. I didn't figure it out, until he had already had everything set up." Al looked over at Winry. "That's when he gave me your letter. I told him I wouldn't give it to you, but he insisted that he kept his promise to me and that I should make this promise to him!" Winry remained quiet. "Don't you see Winry, it is my fault. I'm thankful for it though, because he gave me a life again!"
"You were fine Al."
"You don't understand Winry. I was nothing, but a soul in a suit of armor damned to eternity. I couldn't eat, drink, sleep, feel. I was nothing Winry and Ed...he understood. He...he just wanted what was best for me. You can't blame him or me for that."
"Yeah I can!"
"No you can't. You don't have any brothers or sisters! You wouldn't understand!"
