Chapter 5
Bonding Time
Edward frowned in his sleep. He could hear a chair being dragged across the wood floor, and then the sound would stop and he would feel eyes on him. Shortly afterwards the noise would start again. Curiosity was beginning to best him; slowly he opened one eye watching with a small smile as Lily dragged a chair towards the bookshelf. When she finally made it there she glanced at him again before climbing up onto the chair and reaching for a book.
Lily stood on her tiptoes on the chair reaching towards the book everyone took away from her. She frowned; she was still too short to reach it. Her bright blue eyes widened as a pair of hands reached past her towards the book and easily plucked it off the shelf. She whirled around on the chair, nearly falling off, to come face to face with Edward who was grinning at her.
With a smile Ed held a finger to his lips before motioning to the toddler to follow him. But Lily was to excited to have any of that. She jumped off the chair into her father's surprised arms. Edward sat back down on the couch he had been slipping on and sat Lily in his lap then opened the book in her lap. He watched in mild amusement as she flipped through the pages eagerly tracing the pictures with her fingers.
"Good morning you three," Winry said cheerfully a few hours later. Ed looked up at her confused, and then he noticed Alphonse sitting in a chair near himself watching with a grin. Lily was staring at Winry, all the color had drained from her face.
"Twouble?" Lily asked.
"No you're not in trouble," Winry answered. "Go wash up and change, maybe you can read more later."
The three watched Lily grin before jumping off of Ed's lap and carefully handing him the book back. She then darted up the stairs.
"Reminds me of us brother when we were young," Alphonse said. "How eager we were to learn."
"Yea it does," Ed answered. "Why is reading Alchemy get her into trouble Winry?"
"She can't read Edward; she likes to look at the pictures." Winry corrected. "I didn't want her to learn Alchemy. I...I wanted you to teach her. That way if you did come back you two could have something."
"Win," Ed smiled softly. Winry smiled at him in return before disappearing into the kitchen to make break feast.
"You can't read?" Al asked gently. Ed turned to see Al bent down to Lily's level. She had changed into a pair of blue shorts and a grey top; however the top was on backwards.
"Nuh," Lily responded. Ed grinned and approached the two. Kneeling down he took Lily's arms out of the sleeves and twisted the shirt around before pulling her arms back through gently.
"We'll just have to change that now won't we?" Ed asked as he held up the Alchemy book. "After all you can't learn this if you can't read."
Lily smiled up at him taking both his and Al's hands dragging them to the kitchen. She bounced impatiently in her seat, being scolded twice by Winry to sit still and being laughed at by the Elric brothers. None of that seemed to bother her though. She grinned at Ed, he was going to teach her to read and let her look at that book! Ed returned her smile playfully ruffling her hair as Winry placed some eggs on her plate.
