Sacrifice [Edward Elric x Reader]

chapter 39

You savor the warm water of the steamy 🚿 as you squirt some of the complimentary shampoo into your hands.

You lather it in, cleansing your hair.

Soon, your all done with the shower and you open the foggy door, a feeling a small temperature difference as the shower steam is let outside the shower itself.

The mayor is fogged up as well, and you can't see your own reflection in it at all. So, you grab a towel, and after wiping your body and your hair down, you wipe a small space on the mirror so that you could see yourself.

You use another, smaller, towel to wrap around your head and soak up the water from dripping mess on your head. After, you walk towards the door, and upon opening it, a blast of cool air greets you, and almost feels good after being suffocated in the steam of your bathroom.

You breathe the cool air in deeply and walk towards your small brief case, rummaging through your few clothes and possessions you had. You find a (whatever top makes you comfortable) and a (whatever bottom makes you comfortable).

You slip on your undergarments and put on your clothes, folding the towels up and tucking them back into the right place in the bathroom.

When you step outside of your room, you are greeted by Ed. His hair is down and sexily wet.He's wearing a black tank top and has a white towel slung over his shoulders. He's wearing jeans.

His golden eyes bore right into you, making you blush, but also feel great at the same time. Those lips, it made you want to...

What am I thinking!?

You blush at the thought. You know you're falling for him, though, and you admit it. You give him a small smile.

"Hey, Ed." You say.

Ed's eyes skim up and down your body, taking in your wet, (H/C) hair, your (E/C) eyes, and you're slightly wet clothes that are sticking to your body. He seems to think that you didn't notice, but you actually did. You pretend to not see it, though.

"(Y/N). Where did you go?? I couldn't find you!" His tone is amused but worried at the same time. You smirk.

"Nowhere..."

"I really don't think you went to No Where."

"I didn't go anywhere."

"I doubt that~"

You smile, despite the panic pressing on your insides. What are you going to do?

Wait... but why shouldn't I tell him where I just went? A voice in the back of your head says.

I don't know. . . It just seems... Kind of rude to buy presents the day before Christmas... Another voice says.

You frown,contemplating over whether to tell Ed or not where you just went. Ed stares at you expectantly, but you don't know what to say.

"Come on, (Y/N). Tell me!"

You give a look at him, turned around, and give a small humph!. Ed sighs and exasperation.

"Anyways," you start, changing the subject, "I'm cold. Is there anything hot or anything to order?" You give a little shiver water drips from your still damp hair onto the back of your shirt/whatever you're wearing.

you turn back around, and Ed shakes his head.

"We can go downstairs, though." Ed says. "We can go to the buffet to grab something to drink."

You smilea bit. "Okay!" You agree.

With that, you and Ed grab the hotel card, you pocket your pocket knife, and the two of you walk out of the door. Walking down the hallway, a thought suddenly comes to you.
