Equivalent Exchange (Edward Elric X Reader) {DISCONTINUED}

Chapter 10: The State Alchemist Exam Part 1

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

Awhile after Maes and Gracia's baby was born, Edward, Alphonse and I have been more productive with our studying. We did take a few breaks to play with the girls if they got lonely, but we stayed focused the whole time.

We studied to our greatest. No matter what, we will pass those exams, I just know it. I know we will...

* TIME SKIP 'few months later' *

I was once again in the Library studying for the exam, I've actually read through all the books on the shelves. I don't think that my brain can contain this much knowledge anymore, but it'll all be worth it.

As I was reading from one of the books, I heard tiny footsteps coming near me. I look over to see Blair in her pajamas that Nina let her borrow. I still can't believe that they have the same size clothes. She was holding onto the sleeve of my sweater while rubbing her eye.

"Hey, Blair. You ready for bed?" I asked, picking her up and putting her in my lap. Blair nods as she yawns.

I give her a quiet chuckle as I get up from my seat and take her up to Nina's room.

Nina was already asleep when I came in, her hair surrounded her form and her expression was peaceful.

I carefully placed Blair in the spare bed next to Nina's and tucked her in. I carefully took the ribbon out her hair and placed it on the end table next to her.

"Big Sissy?"

"Hmm?" I move my attention to her.
"Is something wrong, Blair?"

"There's a boy...smiling at you..."

I slightly tilted my head in confusion.

"He say I'm sorry, Little sis..."

My eyes widen and tears started to form in the corner of my eyes.

'I'm sorry, Little sis...'

I quickly wiped my tears today, and looked at Blair. She had a slight look of worried plastered on her face. I quickly smiled at her and hugged her good night. Exiting the room while she slowly falls asleep.

Ed's P.O.V

It was getting late, the exams are in 3 days and I was tired as hell. As I got up from my spot on the floor, I walked over to see (Y/N) sleeping peacefully with a pen in her left hand and her right on one of the books she was reading.

I didn't want to bother her, then again she'd probably be more comfortable in a bed instead of a table.

'Ah! Screw it...' I shouted in my head.

I walked over to her, taking my red coat and placing it on her shoulders. I glanced at her a bit before I left to leave for my room. She actually looked really cute....DAMMIT, ED! STAHP!!! (<- that misspell was on purpose btw)

I felt blood rush to my cheeks and ran out and up to my room. Slamming the door behind me.

"Brother? Why are you blushing?" Al asked.

"NOTHING!" I stripped down until I was in my tank top and boxers and jumped in bed, hiding myself under the covers.

Al's QUICK P.O.V

I smiled to myself, knowing that brother can't hide the fact that he is seriously crushing right now.

'Looks like me and Winry can use this as a weakness against him...' I thought to myself.

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

"It's always the same. Written test, then an interview, then practical skills. There's no way to know how many people will apply, but the state only accepts one or two each year" Tucker stated.
