Eari and Ed waved goodbye to Mitsoka and Nadeshiko early that morning. Although they were still half asleep. The two sat on the sofa watching cbeebies. There was a few hours left until Eari's mum would get there for sunday lunch. "I wonder if I'll ever return to Amestris," Ed thought aloud. Eari looked at him.
"Ed..." Ed looked at her confuzzled. She took his hand. "If theres anything you ever want to talk about..."
"Uh, yeah, whatever..." Ed obviously hadn't realised what he had just said. Eari sighed and slouched back into the sofa, watching cbeebies. Ed stared at the back of her head.
"What?"
"W-what do u mean?!"
"You were staring blankly at the back of my head..." She turned to him. "What is it?" Ed turned his head away and blushed.
"Its nothing!" Eari shrugged her shoulders and turned back to the television. Truth is Ed didn't know why he had been staring at the back of her head. After a while, the doorbell went. Eari went to the door while Ed did what Eari did when she was little. What she would do, was she would look out the window to see who it was. There was a brunette there, short for an adult.
"Mum!" The brunette stepped inside the house. Akane came out from the kitchen to greet her.
"Hello Ayaka!" She said. Ed stayed in his position, suddenly feeling a bit shy. Eari brought her mum into the living room.
"Mum, this is Ed," Eari pointed to the blonde who was still gazing aimlessly out the window. He turned around.
"Hello, I'm Ayaka," Ayaka said, sticking out her hand. Ed shook it.
"I'm Ed!" His confidence came back. Eari went to help Akane in the kitchen, while Ayaka asked Ed polite questions. Lunch was ready, so everyone went into the dining room and ate. Ed, Akane and Ayaka kept making a mess, Eari laughed at them, saying they all needed bibs. Ayaka stayed for a while, before she said it was time to go. Eari said her goodbyes then left.
"So," Ayaka said. "Ed, huh?"
"What about him?" Eari replied. Ayaka shrugged her shoulders suggestivly.
"He's alright isn't he?"
"Yes he is." Eari still didn't know what her mum was getting at.
"You seem quite close."
"We're good friends." Eari turned many shades of red. "Mum!"
"What?" Eari kept quiet. She got home and got in the bath. Then she went to bed.
