Summary: fluffy fluff type fluff involving yuri and some yaoi. More specifically, Winry/Sheska. Ed/Roy. Don't like, don't read. Or do read and then flame. Those amuse me. Probably because they're true in my case… on with the fluff!
SOPHIA'S IN THE ATMOSPHERE:
"Did you know hand sanitizer is flammable?" a voice came floating in to the solitude of the small research room in Central Head Quarters.
"Roy, how many times do I have to tell you? You're not supposed to light things here on fire!" came the scolding voice of Ed.
"Please?" Roy's voice pleaded.
"No, now come on Roy, I promised Winry I'd tell her. now move it and don't set anything on fire." Sheska perked up at the mention of her girlfriend.
"Spoilsport," Roy whined as he opened the door for Ed.
"Hey, Sheska. Buried in books again?" Ed asked, poking his head inside.
"It is my job after all," Sheska responded, transferring a pile of books from her lap to the floor beside her. "What is it?"
"Winry asked me to see if you were free tonight. She said she tried to call you in your office, but no one picked up. I guess this is why."
"Sure! Did she say what time and where?"
"Six o'clock, you're house. She'll need a ride though. You have a car, right?" Ed asked as Roy draped himself over the chibi alchemist. Sheska nodded. "Good. Roy, get off. You're drunk, and I can't walk when you're leaning on me like that." Ed said.
"Who are you calling drunk? I ain't drunk! You wouldn't dare call me drunk if I was sober!" (1) Clearly Roy had yet to recover from his drunkenness the night before when he had been at Kate's bar.
"Come on," Ed sighed and took hold of his Colonel and dragged him away, giving an apologetic smile to Sheska as he left.
After Sheska cleaned up the house so Winry could actualy move around without falling over a giant pile of books, She got in her car, turned on the radio, and drove over to Winry's apartment. By the time she pulled up the radio was playing her favorite song, Numa Numa, and once Winry got in they started singing together.
"That was fun!" Winry exclaimed once the song ended.
"There is no substitute for bouncy Romanian pop music!" Sheska agreed.
"so true. So what do you have planed for when we get home?" Winry asked, looking over at Sheska.
"I made some chicken on rice and picked up some red wine. Other than that, I didn't prepare anything. I thought we could just relax together."
"That sounds nice. You always have great ides."
"Thanks, Win." Sheska said, turning to smile at her girlfriend. "Well, here we are!" the two got out of the car and linked hands as they walked up to the door.
"There's still some piles of books lying around, so be careful," Sheska warned as she opened the door for Winry.
"Alright. Have you found anything interesting?" Winry asked, perfectly aware that Sheska would have found at least twenty since the last time she had seen her, which was only about three days ago. She smiled as Sheska started listing about a thousand different books.
"One of my favorites that I just picked up for a light read is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. There's a quote in there I absolutely loved. 'It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife.' But on another topic, let's go get something to eat.
After dinner Sheska collapsed onto the couch and leaned over to grab a book she had wanted to tell Winry about.
"Sophia's in the Atmosphere is a book about this girl named Sophia who was killed. She leaves behind her sister and brother, both of which she was very close to, and her boyfriend who had recently proposed to her. They were going to get married, and on the day she died, Sophia was going to tell her parents the news. Before she could get there, there was an accident. Some drunk or something was driving on the wrong side of the road, and she couldn't swerve to avoid him, so it was a head-on collision. Sophia died, but her spirit didn't move on to the next plane. Instead, she kind of became one with everyone she was close to, and the book is about them and what they do while she's gone. It's rather sad, but at the same time very nice and romantic," Sheska said as Winry sat down next to her and leaned her head on Sheska's shoulder.
"If I died, I'd want to stay with you too. You mean more to me than you can ever imagine," Winry said.
"And you make me whole, Winry. At this point, I don't think we'll ever be apart. Even if one of us was gone, we would never be alone," Sheska speculated, twirling a stray piece of Winry's blond hair between her fingers.
"mmm… I like it like this. I wish it could be like this forever."
"It always will. You are my Sophia, and I am yours, and even when we are both gone, our spirits will remain here, to be together forever."
"I am so glad I found you, Sheska," Winry whispered, trying not to think about what life would be like if she had never met Sheska. Certainly she'd still be as lost as she had been when Ed had left Rizembool after burning down the house. Sheska had filled that empty place, along with a whole she hadn't even realized she had until the first time they had kissed.
"I love you, Winry."
"I love you too," Win whispered, leaning in to kiss the woman who had made her whole, her Sophia…

(1): Yes, I realize I used this on the last one. Who would have thought we would actually draw it this soon? Oh well…
A/N: HA! I finished it! It took a lot of shortening, then elongating again, and then editing and re-wording, and much avoidance of homework to complete this chapter. Hopefully it turned out better than the last chapter did. Again, sorry about the re-use of a drunken quote, but hey, things happen. Let me know what you think. Review, rate, and/or decapitate me with an opossum. It's all good. Especially the rating part. Please do that, and then go on and read, review, and rate the partner fics to this by NinjaSquirls, Jane Austen Girl, and Happy-Moogle-Mustang, all of whom are now on my favorite authors list. It doesn't make a very good contest if you only read and rate one of these fics! Then it just becomes another obnoxious popularity contest, and among the geeks of fan-writing (myself most certainly included), these types of things are best avoided. Well, you know what you need to do, so go do it!
