A/N: Kids. Because they are adorable, and because I'd rather burn the box than be in it.
I'll try to get another update out this week, but friends are in town tomorrow night, and I leave for a con immediately after work on Thursday!
92. Kiss
"Ew ew ew ew ew!"
Tricia looked up from her seat at the table to see Ed and Winry come tearing into the Elric house shouting and gagging. She put a finger to her lips and gently shushed the children (Al was still down for his nap). The two of them gagged silently.
"What's gotten into you two?" she asked quietly.
"Winry's parents were being disgusting!" Ed hissed. Tricia smiled- three years old and he'd already mastered being angry at all speech volumes. It's exactly as Hohenheim said he'd been like when he was younger. She had a feeling she knew what was coming next.
"Stop saying that, Ed! I still have to home tonight and I don't wanna think about that!" said Winry as she tried to punch Ed, but he was already faster than her.
"Calm down, you two," said Tricia, trying her best not to laugh. She got up and poured each a glass of juice. The two blonds climbed onto a chair at the table. They were joined at the hip already, and it seemed the "trauma" they'd witnessed had only bonded them further. "Now, what happened?" Tricia asked after they'd each had several gulps of juice.
"My parents were… were…" Winry started, but she trailed off and stared into her cup.
"They were kissing!" Ed finally blurted out.
"Stop it, Ed!" cried Winry as she covered her ears. "Auntie Tricia, can I stay here tonight? Ed won't stop saying that and now I can't go home!"
Tricia smiled and picked up the distraught little girl. "Winry, there's nothing wrong when Mommies and Daddies kissing each other- and even for boys and girls to kiss each other," she explained.
"Really?" Winry and Ed both replied. "That's gross!"
"You're still a little young to understand," said Tricia, "but one day, you two may even want to kiss each other."
"EW EW EW EW EW EW EW!" said Ed and he tore out of the house again while Winry wailed and burrowed her head into Tricia's apron.
