Devon: Hey everybody! Wow, I'm surprised how much of a hit this fic is. Haha, well I've gotten two LinFan requests and one Royai request so this chapter and the next one will be LinFan and the next will be Royai. Thanks again for all your support and I'm so glad you like my fic(s)! ^.^
Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own this FMA. If I owned it I would probably find a way for Lin to either over come Greed, or to get rid of him all together. He's getting in the way of Ling and Ranfan(also if I owned it I would understand why she's called both 'Ran' and 'Lan' Fan!)
Recorded Confessions
RAN/LANFAN'SPOV:
"RanFan," The young prince said, next to me. I turned my head unable to look at him out of the corner of my eye from behind my mask. I wish I could though, becuase for some reason, everytime I looked right at him, or he said my name, it did weird things to my stomach.
"Yes, Prince?" I asked polietley, turning back around to keep watching what was going on outside.
"Well, I'm not really sure. And I thought I told you to call me Ling." he replied. I turned back around to look at him.
"No, you didn't say that." I lied. "But what do you mean you don't know?"
"I just don't know. You know?" I shook my head and he sighed. "Yeah, I guess that, didn't make much sense." he admitted, looking up towards the sky, leaning back from where he sat, almost falling off the railing backwards.
"Well, maybe you should get some sleep. We have to begin traveling tomorrow." I suggested. He let out another sigh.
"I'm not tiered though, and what about you. You're always on watch and training. I've had more sleep than you, why don't you go sleep?" He chalenged. He had been trying this one on me for the past couple days.
"I can't sleep, I need to keep watch." I replied, quickly, pulling my gaze from his familiar face once again. My stomach was beging to feel weirder and weirder/
"Excuse me, Prince Ling?" someone said through the door way, knocking. I jumped up and went to open the door, holding my kunai, up just incase. I opened the door to stand face to face with a blonde haired girl, close to my age.
"Oh, hi RanFan!" she said happily. "Is Lin in there? Ed's been looking for him for a while and he wouldn't listen to me everytime I told him he should look in Lin's room , so I came to see for myself. Although, I'm not sure why he's looking for Lin." she said. I nodded.
"Hello, Winry. Yes, he's here." I replied, and I was about to turn around to get the prince, but I stopped when I felt someone's hot breath on my neck.
"Winry, did you say Edward was looking for me? I knew I forgot to do something today. I told him I'd meet him in the hotel lobby." Ling said happily, and much to carefree for the situation in my opinion. I let out a breath, I didn't know that I was holding and tried to slow my heart.
"RanFan, why don't you stay here. I'll be perfectly safe with the brothers, and you can try and get some sleep." and before I could reply, he was gone.
"Prince, I'm supposed to-"
"Just leave it." Winry said behind me, I turned to look at her. She was looking down the hall to where Ling had just run off to. "He's more carefree than Ed, but they still are the same in a lot of ways. If you follow him, he'll just tell you to come back and sleep, no matter how much you argue, and even though he doesn't like to, if you don't listen he'll order you to come up here and sleep. You can't ignore a direct order from your prince, can you?"
"N-no, I can't, but how do you know that'll happen?" I asked, surprised at how much she made sense.
"I told you, he's a lot like Ed. That's exactaly, what Edward would do if I followed him." she replied with a sad smile. "So why don't I try to distract you so you don't start worrying too much?" she asked.
"Well..."
"Great!" she said happily, and pulled me into the room, shutting the door.
We sat, talking for a few minutes, about random things. I asked how long she knew, the brothers, she asked how long I knew the Prince. I asked if she knew what they were talking about down stairs and so did she. When we realized neither of us what was going on downstairs we began guessing different subjects. Eventually, Winry got a hold of my auto mail and began tweaking with it, trying to be as careful as possible. When she was done, she smiled up at me.
"How does that feel?" she asked, I moved my arm around a few times, surprised.
"It's great. It feels better than before." I said, truthfully. Winry beamed at my reply. "Where did you lean to do things like that?" I asked, curious.
"Well, my grandmother is an auto mail mechanic, and I've had some training from her and someone named Mr. Garfeild, and I've kind of had alot of practice. Ed brakes his auto mail alot." she replied with a slight laugh.
"Well, thank you so much, for that." I said. She just smiled again and said that it was no big deal.
"Winry?" I asked. She looked up at me. I suddenly felt nervous, having taken off my mask a while ago, I felt expossed but I had to get it out. "Has you stomach ever started feeling weird or your heart start to speed up, just because some one looks at you, or says your name or something?" I asked. I had to figure it out and I figured dif any one could give me an answer, it'd be a fellow girl. Winry, nodded, she didn't even have to think about it. "...Who?" I asked, hoping I wasn't asking to much.
"Edward." she replied. I stared at her. "You probably think I'm crazy huh?" she asked, her tone of voice was joking but her eyes weren't.
"Maybe, I would if I knew what it meant." I admited. "I've been feeling like that lately, but I don't know why."
"Really?" she asked, her saphire blue eyes were wide with surprise, and I think a little bit of excitement. "Who do you feel like that around?"
"Well, "
"Come on you can tell me! Besides, you obviously need help in this area."
"It's the prince." I answered, quietly, afraid to know exactaly what that meant.
"Lin? Really? Well, considering how close you two are and everything, and I guess I could see where you're coming from, he's alright looks wise, and he's friendly and funny, someone who can be a good comfort to you," she said, almost going off in her own world.
"But what does it mean?" I asked.
"What does, what mean?" A familiar voice asked, walking into the room. Both Winry and I stood up.
"Lin, I'm sorry but could you please, um keep talking to Edward and Alphonse?" Winry asked. Lin looked at her confused.
"Um, why?" he questioned.
"Because we're having a girl-talk." Winry replied. Now both I and the Prince were confused. Girl-Talk? There were a few voices in the hallway. "Lin is that Edward out there?"
"Um, yes." he replied, not as confident as she usually is after being so confused.
"Edward, come here and explain to Lin that he needs to leave, while RanFan and I are having a girl-talk." Winry said. Edward sighed, and pulled Lin away to explin to him, whatever he was supposed to explain. Winry shut the door again, and turned back around to face me.
"Where were we? Hm, oh yes I remeber. You were telling me how you were in love with the 12 prince of the Yao clan, Ling." She said. An evil glint in her bright blue eyes.
o.O O.o o.O O.o
LING/LIN/GREED'SPOV:
"So, they're talking about their feelings and stuff?" I asked, raising and eyebrow at the two boys sitting across from me. I was in the Elric brother's hotel room, seemings Winry and RanFan we're currently occupying mine, while having a 'girl-talk'.
"Um, pretty much." Edward replied. He looked kind of embarrsed. "Sorry, Winry kind of kicked you out of your own room, but when she sets her mind to something it's kind of impossible to change her mind." he said.
"Kind of like you brother." Alphonse said, walking into the room. Edward glared at his younger brother.
"Where have you been?" Edward asked angrily.
"I just took a walk." Alphonse replied, quickly.
"I never tought RanFan, was the kind of person-kind of girl to be into those kind of things." I said, thinking about it. Edward shook his head.
"She probably isn't. Winry isn't into that kind of thing that much, but she doesn't hang out with many girl-friends, or at least not from what I've observed, or she's told me, so she probably jumped at the idea to have a talk with a girl near her age." he said.
"Well, maybe while Winry and RanFan are having a 'girl-talk' Lin and you should have a 'guy-talk'." Alphonse said, addressing his brother.
"What? What the hell is a 'guy-talk'? And how come it'd only be me and Ling?" Edward asked in reply. The younger Elric, just grinned, and left the room. Edward sighed. "I should probably be worried, but Al's too smart to go do something stupid like running off and finding trouble for himseld, so hopefully, nothing bad will come of him leaving. Although, I do wonder where he's going." Edward muttered.
"Have, you ever been in love Edward?" I asked after a few minutes. He looked at me confused.
"What?"
"Have. You. Ever. Been. In-"
"No, that's not what I meant. I know what you said, i'm just asking 'what' like where in the world did that question come from?" he replied.
"Well, I figured I'd take Alphonse's advice and have a 'guy-talk' with you." I said
"This is ridiculous." he commented. I shrugged.
"Well, have you?"
"Have I what?"
"Ever been in love?"
"Well-"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. I have, but it's one-sided and I could never force my self onto her, plus, I've caused her a lot of grief so, she probably wouldn't love me back annyways." he admitted, after a few minutes.
"Really?"
"MmHm."
"I guess, I kind of feel that way, too." I said, he raised an eye brow.
"Why's that?"
"I've known her for years, and she's lost so much becuase of me, besides I've got this whole duty to my people, so we couldn't really be together anyways. Aside from that, it's most likely one-sided, also." I explained.
"RanFan?"
"Was it that obvious?"
"No, not really. You're actually pretty hard to read, but just from the, very vauge might I add, description, it sounded like her."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"So, can I guess who you were talking about?"
"Sure, whatever."
"Winry?"
"Wow, on your first try to." he replied, his voice only slightly sarcastic.
"Well, most people do." I replied. He twitched slightly, making me laugh.
ALPHONSE/AL'SPOV:
I walked down the hallway grinning, I felt bad about it, but it need to be done. I recorded, Winry and RanFan's confessions, and Ling and Brother's confessions. Now I just had to get them to listen to the other person's confessions, and then well, hopefully everything would fall into place, with hopefully few hits to me.
WINRY/WIN'SPOV:
RanFan and I were still continuing our 'girl-talk' as I had called it, when from somewhere in the room there was a click, and Lin's voice filled the air.
"Have, you ever been in love Edward?" Lin asked. From the sound of his voice, it was a recording, but where was it coming from?
"What?" This time it was Ed's voice; it was unmistakable.
"Have. You. Ever. Been. In-" Lin again.
"No, that's not what I meant. I know what you said, i'm just asking 'what' like where in the world did that question come from?" Once again Ed.
"Well, I figured I'd take Alphonse's advice and have a 'guy-talk' with you." And Lin. It continued like that, RanFan and I looking at each other wide-eyed.
"This is ridiculous." Ed.
"Well, have you?" Lin.
"Have I what?" Ed.
"Ever been in love?" Lin.
"Well-" Ed.
"Yeah?" Lin.
"Yeah. I have, but it's one-sided and I could never force my self onto her, plus, I've caused her a lot of grief so, she probably wouldn't love me back annyways." Ed. Now I was anxious to know. Edward was in love with someone.
"Really?" Lin sounded, intreuged.
"MmHm." Ed.
"I guess, I kind of feel that way, too." Lin. Now Ranfan's eyes grew even wider.
"Why's that?" Ed.
"I've known her for years, and she's lost so much becuase of me, besides I've got this whole duty to my people, so we couldn't really be together anyways. Aside from that, it's most likely one-sided, also." Lin.
"RanFan?" Ed.
"Was it that obvious?" Lin. RanFan, looked about ready to faint, and I was trying to hide my grin. They were really cute together. It's sweet to know that he likes her, okay loves her, back.
"No, not really. You're actually pretty hard to read, but just from the, very vauge might I add, description, it sounded like her." Ed.
"Really?" Lin.
"Yeah." Ed.
"So, can I guess who you were talking about?" Lin. I'm liking Lin, more and more. Despite how afraid I was to know if Ed loved someone else, I was also very curious to see if Ed loved me back.
"Sure, whatever." Ed.
"Winry?" Lin. My breath caught in my throat, and I figured I had the same look on my face that RanFan had, and still has, when Lin admitted he loved her.
"Wow, on your first try to." Ed.
"Well, most people do." Lin, then Lin's laugher filled the room, and then the tape caught off.
"Oh, my-"
"God!"
EDWARD/ED'SPOV:
There was a click and before we knew what was going on, Winry and RanFan's voices filled the room. Lin and I looked at each other, confused as their vocie flowed out, sounding like a recording.
"Winry? Has you stomach ever started feeling weird or your heart start to speed up, just because some one looks at you, or says your name or something?" Ranfan asked. There was a pause, before Ranfan spoke again. "...Who?" I'm guessing, Winry nodded.
"Edward." Winry said. My mouth feel open. "You probably think I'm crazy huh?" Winry asked.
"Maybe, I would if I knew what it meant. I've been feeling like that lately, but I don't know why." RanFan, replied.
"Really? Who do you feel like that around?" Winry
"Well-" RanFan, replied nervously.
"Come on you can tell me! Besides, you obviously need help in this area." Winry.
'Area?' Lin mouthed to me confussed. I shrugged, as the girls continued their converrsation.
"It's the prince." RanFan replied nervously. Now Lin's eyes grew wide and her mouth fell open.
"Lin? Really? Well, considering how close you two are and everything, and I guess I could see where you're coming from, he's alright looks wise, and he's friendly and funny, someone who can be a good comfort to you..." Winry, said trailing off.
"But what does it mean?" RanFan asked.
"What does, what mean?" Lin's vocie interupted the conversation.
"Lin, I'm sorry but could you please, um keep talking to Edward and Alphonse?" Winry asked
"Um, why?" he questioned.
"Because we're having a girl-talk." Winry replied, then there were some voices in the back ground. "Lin is that Edward out there?"
"Um, yes." he replied.
"Edward, come here and explain to Lin that he needs to leave, while RanFan and I are having a girl-talk." Winry said. I could hearr my self sigh and then after a few minutes the door shut.
"Where were we? Hm, oh yes I remeber. You were telling me how you were in love with the 12 prince of the Yao clan, Ling." Winry said, her voice sounded, the same way she sounded when she was about to take a part yet another machine.
"Was that as surprising to you as me?" Lin asked. I couldn't even think of a reply, so I stayed silent.
Devon: Heh, so yeah, that was my first LinFan fic and I know I kind of left it hanging but, now you guys can come up with your own way for having them admit that they found out and get together or if you guys want, the next chapter will be another LinFan so I could turn this little one into a two-shot. What ever you guys want, really beacuse you're the ones who requested LinFan fics as the next chapters. Also I apologize for them being slightly out of character, and thank you so much for reading! Please review! ^.^
