The Train Ride

    

     "She sure is happy Brother!" Alphonse says happily as he notices your excitement.

"Sure is.." Edward responds still smiling at your cute attitude when you aren't being rude.

"Wouldn't be bad to have a friend like her, now would it Ed?" Alphonse asks, hinting at last nights conversation, and Edward could tell what Alphonse was getting at.

"You still think we should tell her about what we have done?" Edward asks his brother, sounding as hopeless as ever, but still you could feel how cold he was to the idea.

"I can hear you guys." you say, even though you couldn't really hear what the brothers where whispering about.

"This train ride will be a little long" Alphonse says a little louder, at an attempt to hide what was being said.

"That's what you guys were talking about?" you ask in a tone crossing your arms.

"Prove we weren't!" Edward says quickly getting just as irritated as you.

You just start to laugh at the overly defensive blonde, who was now just pointing at you aimlessly and speechless.

"What's so funny?" Edward finally snaps after staring at you for a moment.

"Well, you, obviously." you say, giggling along with Alphonse.

Instead of trying to fight with you, Edward just smiles. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to tell her, to trust her, more importantly. Though that isn't nearly an issue right now, she should definitely worry about herself before she goes off worrying about our past, Edward's thoughts cause him to have a determined look, he can't help but wonder what could have happened in your past.

"Hey brother, how's your automail?" Alphonse breaks the silence as he leans towards his brother slightly.

"It's fine I guess." Edward responds, feeling his arm, not knowing what Alphonse was getting at in his question.

"Well, I was thinking maybe we could stop by, and see Winry." Alphonse says, trying to go to Resembool.

"Why would we do something like that?" Edward asks slightly irritated, as Edward never is too excited to go see Winry.

"Well we could help train (y/n) and see what skills she has before going Right back to central." Alphonse says sweetly, as if he could read your mind almost. You didn't want to leant at Hong let two before going to Central.

"I mean I guess since its on the way.. But colonel did want is to come right back.." Edward responds, while he places a hand on his chin obviously in deep thought.

"Since when Do you listen to the Colonel Ed?" Alphonse asked with a snicker.

"Good point." Edward responds almost proud sounding off he fact that he was just called defiant.

"Would you like to go see our hometown and train a but their (y/n)?" Alphonse asks, now looking at you.

"I guess that sounds nice. Who is winry?" you ask turning to Edward for the answer to your question.

"She's just my mechanic!" Edward responds slightly freaking out.

"So you seriously want to help me improve my alchemy?" you ask smiling at Edward then you begin smiling at Alphonse.

"Sure we do!" Edward and Alphonse chime together, both obviously interested in your abilities.

You laugh at the brothers for a moment, and they turn to look at each other.

"You guys are the best!" you blurt out, and the brothers turn their gazes from each other to you again.

"So what exactly can you do with your alchemy (y/n)?" Edward asks.

"Hmm. Well.." you say looking around. You notice a small cracked up piece of ground, so you go and rip a little piece of wood from the ground. You place it on the seat next to you, and you then clap your hands together and place them near the piece of wood. A blue light becomes clear around all three of you, and then it fades. You pick up your creation to reveal a little miniature item resembling the symbol on Edward's coat and on Alphonse's shoulder. Ed and Al then look at each other in shock. You hadn't used a transmutation circle.

"What's wrong?" you ask feeling almost silly.

"Yo-You, you didn't use-use a circle!" Edward says pointing at you.

"Isn't that amazing brother!?" Alphonse says, rematching his gaze with his brothers eyes.

"Define amazing Al.." Edward says, almost sounding dissopointed.

"Brother.." Alphonse responds, knowing full well his brother didn't really need a definition of such a silly word.

"Well what the hell is the matter?" you say, not understanding what was going on.

Edward looks up at you with a sad look saying, "Why can you do that (y/n)?"

"Why can anyone perform alchemy?" you say back, still acting confused at their reaction.

"Not alchemy you idiot, you didn't use a circle!" Edward says with new found anger laced all around his words, its almost as if he were spiting his words.

"I don't.. Really know." you respond, feeling a little more than weird and insulted.

"You really don't?" Edward says calmly, now just staring at you.

You return the gaze and decide to give a quick and simple, "no."
