Well then, LETS GO!! :)

(Y/N) P.O.V

"So what did the doctor say?" Winry asked as she and Alphonse helped me sit down on her couch.
I raised a hand up to gently touch one of the bandages covering both of my eyes.

"Well, he said I should wear these bandages for at least a week or maybe a few days more than that. He also said how lucky I am that this is just temporary..", I recited to Winry, hoping my head was facing her general direction.

I heard her sigh happily, me smiling to myself as I sat further into the couch.

"(Sigh) well that's a big relief. I'm glad it's not any more serious than it already is, but you should really be more careful sometimes 
(Y/N)! When the three of you travel you and Al are supposed to be the responsible ones!" Winry scolded at me. I could picture her pointing her finger down at me as I heard her walk in front of the couch.

I smiled again at my friend's behavior. I knew she was right, it had been an accident that made me be temporarily blind...and it had been my own fault.
On a recent assignment with Ed and Al, I had used my fire alchemy against another Alchemist who also specializes in explosives. When I snapped my fingers to create my fire, I had been standing too close to some of his explosive powder and the sparks came into my eyes.

So even if Winry sounded more like my mother , she was still a close friend who I knew cared about me.

I smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of my neck.
"Heh, I-I know I'm really sorry Winry. 'This'", I said as I gestured to my bandaged eyes,
"This was on me this time. It was my fault for not being more careful and I won't make you guys worry like that again..I promise."

I liked to think Winry had smiled at my apology, but I had no way of knowing expect for the tone in her voice.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to take your word for it then huh?" Winry asked in an amused way.

It was then I realized that Alphonse hadn't said a word since we'd gotten back to Winry's house from the doctor.
There was a short pause before anyone spoke but Winry decided to break the silence.

"Hey, I just remembered that I have some things to work on with Granny; and since Ed's still busy researching upstairs that leaves you to take care of (Y/N) for now Al I know you can handle it!" Winry said very quickly as I heard her walk off to another room in her house, leaving Alphonse and I in the living room. Alone.

Part of me was trying not to blush profusely, because I knew what Winry was really trying to do.
Alphonse is my best friend, and has been for as long as I can remember, but Winry was like my sister...and that meant she was the first to figure out my crush on Al. She loved to tease me in private about it,  but now it seemed she was taking it a step further by throwing gestures around to me while Alphonse was in the room,even if he had no clue what she meant.

I heard Alphonse cough awkwardly, even though he didn't need to with the armor.

"W-Well um, I guess that just leaves me then," Al said with a nervous laugh.
