The sun shone brightly through the window, with the smell of breakfast rising up from an apartment below us. Birds softly sung outside, with cars slowly moving past the building on the ground. I smiled opening my eyes slightly, turning on my back to stretch when I realized someone was a lot closer then I had thought. My elbow had touched something warm and soft; Edward's head was right next to my shoulder, sleeping soundly. My heart pounded hard against my chest, remembering my thoughts from last night as I felt his hot breath touch my skin. I wondered if he had ever discovered that Alphonse wasn't sleeping in his bed, but instead I was. Today was Monday, and we had work. I sat up, looking out the window, to get a better view... Why did it seem to late? The sun had well already risen over the small city in Germany, and there were many more people on the street then usual. I turned my body so my legs dangled off the side as I got up and walked over to Ed's dresser. At the bottom of it, beneath all of his clothes was his pocket watch. Roy had given him another one, once he realized Al had lost it. I clicked it open it to peek at the time; Freak'en nine in the morning!? I nearly dropped it; All three of us had to be out of the house by at least 7:30! I hide the watch back underneath his clothes and ran to the bed jumping back into my spot. The sudden movement of the bed caused Ed to mumble something, softly under his breath. I placed my hand on top of him and shook his flesh shoulder hard.

"Ed wake up, were really late for work!" I told him quickly. He shifted his body and groaned.

"How late... Are we?..." I heard him ask softly.

"Really late, it's after nine!" His eyes shot open and he forced himself to sit up.

"How did we sleep so late?" He asked, scratching his head, with sleep still in his voice. I shrugged, then blushed when I realized he was starring at me, in his shirt with no pants. His face turned as red as mine, and he looked away, noticing he was practically naked as well. "Sorry." He mumbled. I nodded telling him it was fine. I think just then he just realized he had slept with me that way, and that I wasn't his brother. I left the room, leaving him; His face as red as that old cloak he used to wear. I almost ran into Al, in the hallway, he must of just woken up too, an' was running to come get his brother and I.

"Winry, do you know how late we are?! And you never woke me up last night, where did you sleep? Not on the couch, did you? I'm so sorry-" Alphonse stuttered nervously.

"No, it's okay! Really!? I'll tell you later, just go get dressed-" He let out a deep breath, then noticed my outfit, studying me over.

"Winry, what are you wearing?" I felt my cheeks burn up all over again.

"N-nothing, bad or anything. Just my pajamas- Al go get dressed!" He ran into Ed's room as I ran into my own. I dug through my dresser and grabbed the first shirt and pants I saw. I shoved them on, and grabbed a brush from my night stand, combing my hair as I walked through the bedroom door way. Ed was already dressed, and was in the kitchen, trying to pour a glass of water and put his hair up in a pony tail at the same time. I walked over to Ed, but decided not to offer him help. He wouldn't let me anyway...

"Winry, I need some help!" I heard him ask, annoyed that he only had two hands; struggling as the hair tie slipped from his auto mail to the wooden floor. I ran to him, picking up the tie on the floor and quickly rapped it around his soft hair... The second time I had touched it. "Thanks, go get my gloves from my room, too." I nodded and ran to his room, almost running straight into Al again.

"I'm gonna head off to work, see you tonight, Win!" I heard him call as he passed me running toward the door as he picked up his coat and bag.

"Bye, Al!" Ed and I called at the same time. With Ed's white gloves in my hand I ran back to him as he picked up his brief case, putting his coat on at the same time.

"Calm down Ed, where already late so just take a breath-" He bent down and grabbed the gloves out of my hand with mouth, and ran to the door.

"Open it, Win!" Geeze, he really didn't listen to a word I had just said. I decided to avoid any arguing and grabbed my coat, slipping on my shoes. I picked up my huge black bag as well, and opened the door for Edward who was already looked as if he ws sweating. I locked it and we were off.

"We gotta take a cab, do you have any money. Oh man, I better not get fired after this, damn it." He mumbled, that was supposed to be directed to me.

"Yeah, I do. You won't be fired just calm down."

"Why didn't you wake us up like you usually do?" He asked as we started on the stair case heading down and out of the building.

"I'm not sure, I just over slept I guess." No answer. I think we were both embarrassed from last night. After we reached the bottom of the stair case and were outside, Ed dropped his brief case on the ground, slipping his gloves on over his mail. "Hey Ed, you go ahead and take a cab, I'm just going to walk to save money, ok? The shop is farther then your building anyway." I told him handing him money for the cab. He stopped what he was doing and looked at me strangely but then nodded taking the money.

"Okay, see you tonight... Winry." I smiled turning back to the direction I was headed in.

"Alright..." I said silently under my breath.
