Two month time skip cuz iz lazy

(Y/n) P.O.V
Today is Ed's birthday! Mine is two days from now but we are celebrating it today as well. I may have the courage to tell him that I love him today. That would be the best present for both of us, if he only loves me too. Yeah right, in my dreams. Ever since I moved here, I've had such a strong bond with Ed, right from the start, it's like he understands what I'm going through, like he's done the same and we're recovering together. I don't even talk to Winry, my dad, or aunt Pinako as much as I talk to Ed, and they're my family and yet, it feels as if Ed is the only person I'd ever need. He makes me smile just with the sheer feel of his presence, he has one of those faces that you never get tired of looking at, no matter how long you've stared. I could listen to him talk for hours on end without getting bored, especially when it's about alchemy, because then his words are filled with passion and enthusiasm that could make you want to be there forever, when he carried me on his back all those time when I had trouble walking, it felt so right to be that close to him, but it all feels like a dream. Although that won't be happening anymore, since I got my automail last week, Winry and Pinako say that I've healed the fastest out of any of their previous patients, I was walking percectly fine on my own just after two days. Anyway, back to Ed. With him a cold, cruel world, such as this, could melt into a warm, welcoming fairy tale. Everything with him is better. Ed makes all the pain I've been through worth it. 'Why can't I just look him in his beautiful, golden eyes and tell him how I feel. I want to be his, and he, mine.' I didn't realize until I heard Al's snickering, that I said the last part out loud, crap.

Ed's P.O.V

Today is my BIRTHDAY!!!! Awww heck yeah. (Y/n)' s is only in two days but we all decided that since they were so close together, we could just celebrate both of them today. I feel like if it were anyone else I was sharing a birthday with I would have refused, but I'm actually glad (y/n) and I get to share a birthday together. I may actually get to tell her that I love her today. I just can't help it, I just want to make all her pain go away, she seems as if she's the most comfortable around me, but that's just from what I've observed. It's like we get each other, like we were once one soul but got split in two along life's way. I need to tell her today, please don't chicken out, you need to tell her sooner or later. The sooner the better, the sooner the less time to second guess myself

Winry's P.O.V

Today is Ed and kind of (y/n)'s birthday. It is actually Ed's birthday, but since (y/n)'s is just two days from now we decided to just celebrate them both together. I'm pretty sure they both don't mind one bit. It seems as if (y/n) opens up and talks to Ed the most out of all of us, they would make such a cute couple!!!!!! (A/n- see, even Winry ships it. People know what's up! Al and Winry are probably going to make a club where they write fanfictions and draw pictures of you two as a couple. Jk, that would just be creepy, anyway, back to the fan fiction) I totally ship it! I wonder if Al knows ( oh please Winry, Al knows, he knows all things) I can just tell by the way Ed looks at her that he loves her to death.

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

*flashback *

My father has been taking more drugs and alcohol than ever before. He's been acting up dramatically and more often lately, it's kinda scary, so I've been staying at Ed's house lately. You walked into your house after hanging out at the Elric's house, the door drew open at your touch, accompanied by a long, not too loud shreik from the rusty hinges. There were bottles scattered all over the floor, as usual, and your dad sitting on the couch, mumbling to himself. Ever since my mom and brother's deaths he blamed me for it, not that he is wrong to do so, he has every right to blame me. I am a no good murderer. I walked up to the couch and lightly tapped my dad on the shoulder, to notify my presence. He slowly turned his head in my direction. His face twisted with pure anger and hatred. He started yelling at me ," You did this to me (y/n), this is all your fault, I wish you were never born, you were a mistake and you should be treated like one!! You are an evil murderer that stole everything from me, the one that I wanted to get rid of the most was the only one who stayed, and it is you at full blame! You usless, no good, mistake! What have you done to me! Why not just go kill yourself, you'd be doing the world a favor!" He then raised an empty beer bottle and smashed it over my head. Blood dripped from the top of my head, making my hair slightly stiff and shiny. Shards of glass were lodged into my head. He then took my hands and taped them to the table while he beat me bloody and bruised. Tears streamed heavily down my cheeks, tearstaining my face, though I promised myself that I would not give him the satisfaction of hearing my shout and wimper in pain, I would not be weak and give him joy of seeing me in such a vulnerable state. He beat me with belts, chains, his own fists, and a wooden baseball bat for about 3 hours. I kicked my dad in the face, he layed passed out on the floor, I had had enough. I ran to Ed's house as fast as I could with my such poor condition. Trisha saw me and gasped. She took me in and fixed my injuries with a emergancy first aid kit, not letting the boys or Winry see me, it was probably for the best, I wouldn't be able to face them looking like this. So weak and pitiful.

*end of flashback*

End of sad words

Ed's P.O.V

(Y/n) was wearing a loose (f/c)[favorite color] tank top, black jeans, and a lightweight (s/f/c) [second favorite color] hoodie. She looked absolutely stunning. Why in the heck is she wearing a hoodie and jeans when it is this hot outside. Strange, she's always so interesting.

*time skip cuz iz bez lazy*

After cake and presents we were all just hanging out, except for (y/n)'s father. I wonder why he would miss his own daughter's birthday. He never leaves the house, the only times I see him are when we pick up (y/n) to go to our house, when she can't walk over, or we just feel like picking her up, she barely stays at home and is always with us. I wonder how he treats her?

*another time skip cuz im super tired and lazy but wanna get the chapter out today*

(Y/n) and I were sitting by the lake, I thought I was finally going to tell her how I feel, but found myself not being able to speak the words. (Y/n) pulls off her hoodie and complains about it being so hot, I see dark bruises, red marks and scabs from previously bleeding wounds completely covering her arms all the way up and down. I also just noticed the numerous amounts of cuts of her head. This is why she was wearing covering clothing, what in the world happened to her? I couldn't bare to hear the answer, she would tell me when she was ready anyway. We heard Winry and Al running towards us, (y/n) shrugged her jacket back on, I felt so bad for her, why does some one so beautiful get treated so awfully. Winry stood in front of us and smiled widely, "Well, Happy Birthday shorties!" We both stared at Winry with a death stare, and both spoke in unison, "hey who you calling short!?"

(Y/n)'s P.O.V (quick)

Man I'm an idiot, I wasnt thinking when I took my jacket off in front of Ed, he definitely saw too. I'll just have to tell him later, he deserves to know if we're going to continue being best friends.

(A/n) : Hey y'all, long time no see *scratches back of neck and nervously chuckles* yeah, sorry 'bout that. This chapter was lame, but oh well, it's something, next update might not be in a while do to issues, but as always I will try to get it out as soon as possible for me. You all are so supportive, nice, and funny, honestly y'all are so awesome, I love y'all so much. Thnx for reading, holefully the plot will move faster soon, kinda getting writer's block here and there. Stay safe and have and good life. Until next time! :p

Love you all! Bye !!!
