Over-Protective
Ch.5
Why Do You Always Have To Be So Stupid
Central- Ed and Al's room
They both sat at the table not looking at eachother. Ed took a quick glance at the same time Winry did. Then they turned away. He lowered his eyes and said quietly, " Winry, i'm...sorry. I shouldn't have done that last night." " What do you mean?" she asked. " I think you should forget about everything that happened last night."
" But why? I...don't want to forget."
" Winry, you know I walk a dangerous path. And I can't let you be in that kind of danger for my selfish reasons."
" For your selfish reasons? You're being pretty selfish now! What about what I want? Do I have any say in the way I live? I don't care if i'm in constant danger! As long i'm with you I won't get hurt."
" As long as you're with me," he bagan as he started to laugh but turned angry again as he shouted at her," Whenever I come back to you and that old hag you see how my arm is, blown to pieces! I can't even protect my own brother! How do you expect me to protect you too?"
" I'd rather be in danger with you than stay safe without you! Isn't that my choice?"
" Well, as long as you're with me that's not your decision to make!"
Tears started to roll down Winry's cheeks. Ed's face softened as he said, " Winry, i--" " Just shut up!" She shouted at him as she turned and ran through the door. " Winry!" He was about to run after her until he was grabbed by large bulky arms. Ed turned around to see no other than Al. " Al, what are yo--" " I heard the whole thing." Ed turned around and didn't answer him but instead said, " Al let me go." Ed tried to struggle out of Al's arms but it was no use. " I said let me go! I have to catch up with her!"
" Brother, I think she just needs to be alone for now. You can talk to her later." He let Ed down.
" I guess you're right," he said as he smiled at him. He turned to go to his bed until he was once again stopped by Al right before he got in his room.
" Just one last thing brother!"
" What now?" he said in an annoyed tone.
" Stop being so over-protective!"
Ed smiled, shook his head, and walked in his room shutting the door behind him.
Central- River
Winry sat by the river as she skipped the rocks across the water. She sighed and said, " Edward..." She looked to the sky almost as if she could his head in there.
" Why do you always have to be so stupid."
