WOW I just realized I should be doing this at the beginning of every chapter:
Disclaimer: I do not own FMA or any of the Plot or characters, Arakawa does. I do, however, own any OCs, any plot I create, and any fangirl moments used against Ed.
Chapter 5
A 'Perverted' Edward and Ramen
Horror was completely evident on Ed's face. This emotion was of course mixed with Anger. I grinned, not realizing what was happening around me for the time being.
"What the hell was that?" He took a step forward, not realizing our position either.
I decided to be a smart ass. "Oh what ever could you possibly mean, Edward Elric?" I batted my eyelashes, then coughed, realizing the steam pouring out of the room everywhere. Steam? Why would there be steam..?
The next thing I knew I was punching Ed's shock-and-blush touched face across the right cheek, him flying backwards to my bed, his head hitting my metal bed frame. You could almost see his emotions hitting the wall to the left that was in the direction I had punched, his face now clear of any emotion but faint pain. "YOU PERV!" I screeched, grabbing a towel that was on the metal rung next to me. This was now the second time Ed had walked in on me. This time though, I wasn't even half dressed.
Feeling a draft I stepped back into the bathroom and slammed the door shut so hard that I feared I had broke one of the hinges on it. I leaned back against the door and sighed, holding the towel to the middle of my chest. Why did I seem to get embarrassed only when Ed came?
No sooner that I stepped into the hot shower did I hear a banging on the door. "LET ME IN THIS INSTANT YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUS EXPLAINING TO DO!"
'Oh yeah...' I thought. "I WOULD NEVER LET YOU IN!" I yelled, wetting my hair. The ramen was really gross now, I smelled like who-knows-what. the water came off looking.. well, not like water.
"FINE THEN I'LL JUST HAVE TO COME IN MYSELF!" Ed responded.
Now it was my turn for Horror and Anger to be plastered over my face. I didn't lock the door."EDWARD I SWEAR-"

Earlier...
Ed and Trisha had finally returned from out trip to the mall, dusk touching the sky delicately, turning the sun a pink-orange tone, Ed noticed. The mountains were silhouetted, adding to the effect. They were on our way home from the bus stop, listening to random playlists on Trisha's 's hands were full of bags, as Trisha had forced them upon him.
"So.. Trisha..." Ed began nervously. "Umm... Why does everyone know who I am again?" Ed was fairly nervous, not of something bad or anything, but of something creepy. They passed a large green field, next to a park. They had gone a different way to the bus stop the first time. It was weird, there were a lot of rocks out in the middle of the field for some reason, almost as if they were making a perfect circle, but along the way a few rocks were misplaced or broken. One spot in the grass was unnaturally bare.
Trisha had not responded to him, and he looked at her, only to see that she was staring at the spot where Ed had just been looking. She was sad, he noticed. "There." She pointed to the spot. "That is where I found you."
"What do you mean? Was I just... lying there?"
She hesitated. "Umm, yeah. It was raining.. and you were just sitting there. That's all. And I figured you would die in the cold rain if I didn't take you in so I decided to sneak you to my room." She smiled and looked at him. The smile was obviously forced.
"Wait, so there was nothing that would have put me there?"
"N-no..." Another hesitation. "Well all I can say for now is that you may have a few questions answered sooner or later here..."
"So.." He asked one more question that had been on his mind. "Did you only save me because you knew who I was? Did you just want to find me first before someone else did? Did you want the privilege of having me?" He had always wondered about this one. Ever since he found out that people here on 'Earth' knew who he was.
"No." She took a deep breath, as if her mind was trying to switch topics. "I had no idea who you were until the next morning. For the time being I thought you were an alien or something!" She giggled, her mind finally seeming to move on.
Ed decided to ignore her comment, only twitching his eyebrow a little. "Hey, why would you think I was an alien when all you did was find me in the rain passed out? Wouldn't you consider that I was just a person who fell unconscious?" It was a valid question.
"Yada." She said something in another language. "No," She repeated the word in English. "That is classified information." She stuck her nose up in the air and closed her eyes.
"Hey hey, you have to tell me the truth!" Ed nudged her, attempting to be polite so she would fess up.
"I'm not going to tell you just because you're being 'polite'." She replied and ran back to her house quickly. It was at the direct ted of the street, right before a left turn. Her house was big and white, bigger than any other surrounding house. "We have to hurry! My family is going to be home before 10! If you want to eat downstairs and figure a few things out you better quicken your pace!" Even though Ed couldn't see her face he was grinning.
"No fair!" Edward almost considered ditching all of the new clothes he had recently purchased. He sighed, almost wanting to use alchemy to stop her from moving forward, but that would mean him having to drop his things. 'Not only that...' He thought, 'But I don't know if alchemy works here, or if she even knows what alchemy is.
We were eating, then, in the living room, with the T.V. on, watching Regular Show. I had given him some Top Ramen, hoping he would be familiar with ramen, and thank god he was. He deliberately said that it tasted weird, though.
"So... These two... A bird and... Whatever that is..." He pointed to Mordecai and Rigby. "They... do nothing?" Pause. "ALL the time?"
"Yeah..." I smiled at the T.V. Ed then threw his hands up in the air, his ramen flying over to me and onto my head... And my clothes.
"This makes no sense!" He then realized what he did when I shrieked at the heat of the ramen. Ever since I met him I have been having more and more cartoon-ish moments. Was this good or bad? I had no clue. i checked the clock, and saw that it was 7:57. "T- Trisha!" He stuttered at her name. "I-I'm s-so sorry! I- I didn't mean..."
"No no... It's just fine. Just fine. Now you'll just have to wait around for me to shower. I'll be down in less than an hour, and by 9:00 we have to be upstairs, in case my brother comes home. It's fine if my mom does, she's friendly, but my brother would flip." I warned him very specifically. The ramen was cooling off, and no longer burning my very hot skin any more than it already had. I had to hurry, you could see through my shirt to my bra when the shirt was wet, and i did NOT want Edward seeing that. "Umm you can... clean up the floor, where the ramen spilled, and watch.. T.V. while I shower.." I went to the kitchen and grabbed him towels to clean up the ramen all over the wooden floor. "I want it SPOTLESS." I winked at him, hearing that Adult swim was on at last. Today, FMA turned out to be the first thing on. I had checked when Ed was grabbing his food. This was actually, perfect timing. Now I wouldn't have to go say something embarrassing, like 'I have to pee' to get out of the room for a moment and let Edward here see who he really was.
"Umm... Alright..." He responded, catching the paper towels I threw at him, his eyes glued to the T.V.
The last thing I heard before going upstairs was 'Again' The opening for FMA. Thankfully that meant it was one of the earlier episodes, and not one that hadn't happened yet in Ed time. At least, most likely. I heard Ed turn to face the T.V. after hearing the familiar music and I laughed just a little louder than necessary.
Envy stood on the roof of a house. He had been tracking Ed, or at least trying. He hadn't had a really sucessful time over the last day. He was first chased away by some old lady, then attacked my some dogs. He was pretty angered with the fact that his pants were now ripped, so he decided to go to a store of some sort to steal some new ones.
While he was searching, he found a bus with a familiar lock of blonde braided hair inside, sitting with a girl who was more of a yellow blonde. Her hair all the way down her back. 'So the twerp has a girl, does he?' He grinned very largely. 'plan formed!' He jumped up and down and jumped onto the bus. It draove away and he waited to see where it lead him to.
Thankfully, he ended up getting two things done at once, getting some jeans (the clothes here were so weird) AND following them home. He stayed a good 100 feet away from them the whole time, except for when he rode on the bus. The ride home he ended up inside the bus, in the far back, as last time people were giving him weird looks as to what the hell he was doing up there. Bus was much safer.
He found her house, and waited for morning to come. He was right above the girl's room, as it turned out, because he heard who knows how much yelling coming from it.
Trisha glared with all of her might at the curtain, seeing Ed's sihlloette on the other side. His arm was on his hip, like an angry teen girl. Even his hair looked like a girl's right now... I shook my head and waited for my voice to reach my lips. BEfore that happened though, Ed started, "WHAT the HELL was THAT? Why is my life on the T.V.? How do these people know what happens in my life? How did they know what happened to my mom? HOW? WHY would people think of this as entertainment?" Wait... Which episode did he see? All I could do was hope it wasn't episode 2. I scrubbed my hair with about a handful of shampoo. I quickly began to scrub everything else, and responded kind of thoughtfully.
"Ed... What did you.. uh.. See.. Exactly? I kept hesitating over and over, cursing at myself. the second episode was perhaps the worst of them all, emotion wise. That was when it explained in a very detailed manner what happened to his mother.
"I SAW this 'episode' where it told whoever would WATCH this what happened after my mom's- her..!" For some reason I hadn't expected he would have this tone of voice, like he was about to cry..
I wasn't too sure how to explain it too well to him, so I ended up showering in silence, Ed giving up in talking. He sat there probably on the toilet seat, trying not to cry, probably. I smiled, trying to direct it at Edward. He obviously didn't hear it because the door was opened and closed. I heard him sit down on my bed after I shut off the water.
I felt refreshed, but at the same time I felt like a horrible person for making him see that episode, out of all of them. I dressed in clothes I had prepared, and dried off my hair as fast as possible. I came out of the bathroom, not sure what to expect, but all I saw was Ed laying there on my bed fast asleep. "You dummy, you'll catch a cold if you leave the blankets off!" I told him, knowing he wouldn't hear it. I decided it would be best to let myself tell him what was going on tomorrow instead. I walked downstairs waiting for my family, but not before locking my room's door and taking a key with me (a little piece of metal) to open it later. I turned off the lights and went to finish watching what Ed had started.
After I had cleaned, and when I watched the end of the episode, I found myself letting a tear fall. Now I knew that this wasn't just a show, that all the pain he experienced was real.
That must have been really weird for my brother to see me doing as he walked into the house, much earlier than I had expected. it was only 8:30. "You okay, Trish?" He asked.
