Golden || Edward Elric X Reader One-Shots

~A Watch, A Box, And A Key~

~(Y/N)'s Pov~

I had just woken up and was about to get ready, when I stopped because I saw a letter sitting on the table by my bed. It read:

That little piece of shit!

I can't believe my own boyfriend left without telling me he was leaving to my face! Although I understand that he 'doesn't want me to go because I could get hurt' and if he told me, I would end up going. But still! I'm gonna kick his ass when he gets back!

-Time Skip-

It's been a few weeks since Ed and Al left and I can't lie I miss them both. I was sitting on the couch of the Rockbell's house with Winry (wow first time I've mentioned her).

Then there was a knock at the door. Winry got up and opened it, revealing none other than Al.

"Hey Al!" Winry said.

I walked over to the door and leaned against the fraim, "Hey! It's idiot one! Where's idiot two?" I questioned.

"Umm... Well... Ed..." Al started.

"Did he break his automail again?!" Winry yelled.

"No, no!" He replied quickly, "he's... Gone."

Winry's angry expression quickly changed to complete and utter sadness, where as I was confused.

"You mean like, he's not here?" I asked.

"No, (y/n)." He sounded like he was going to cry, if he had a body.

"Then where is he?" I asked. I looked at Winry who had her mouth covered with her hands, tears streaming down her face. "Why are you crying?"

"(Y/n)." Winry said crying more.

"Ed's... He's... Dead." Al said sadly.

"This is a joke right? You're kidding right?! Right?!" I yelled.

Al didn't say anything. Instead he just handed me a state alchemist watch. "Why are you giving me this?!" I semi-yelled.

"I-I thought you might want it... Since it was his." Al replied.

"I don't know why I would want this because he's still alive! Right?!" I continued to yell.

Winry was crying more now, and Al just looked down looking like he wanted to cry. By now tears were starting to stream down my face as I just stood there and stared down at the watch in my hands.

-Time Skip-

I sat in my room, looking down at the watch. Opening it, I saw the words 'don't forget 3.Oct.11' engraved in it.

Then I spotted the note that I had left on my desk. The note from the day he left without saying goodbye, or even telling me to my face he was leaving.

I had enough. I grabbed the box on the dresser, put the note and watch in it, and locked it. Putting it back on the shelf, I told myself I wouldn't open it again. Ever.

I took the key, and put it on a necklace. Then I ran downstairs to talk to Winry. I had a favor to ask her.

-Time Skip Brought to you by me being sorry for all the time skips-

Back in my room, I looked down at my new necklace.

And I never opened the box again.
