Chapter 58 – Project


Winry left the porch, knowing the reluctant pair would follow. Den raced for her heels as she made her way toward a canvas-covered pile.

Bran eyed the house's chipped siding as they traipsed through grass he had recently mowed, already guessing her intent.

Though he wanted little part in her latest project, smugness filled him as Ed's brows hiked in curiosity.

Ha! He thought. He hasn't helped since that damned roof he re-shingled with his brother!

Winry bent down, whipping the covering off a cluster of unopened paint cans.

The alchemist's face fell and Bran agreed with a begrudging grimace.


A/N: I wrote an Ed/Win lemon last year and alluded to Ed painting the Rockbell's house. Ha! I worked it in – yay for persistent plot bunnies! If any of you are interested in said lemon, it's on my personal fanfic website (linked in my author profile).
