The Darkest Secret (Edward Elric x Reader)

Five: Sewing-Life Alchemist

Chapter 5: Sewing-Life Alchemist

"You sure look happy for someone who's had a horrible date!"

I chuckled as I took off my coat and set it on a nearby clothing hanger. "It was so horrible that it was amazing."

"What do you mean?"

I sat on the bed and kicked off my leather boots. "Well, let's just say y/n has a sense of humour." I said as I changed into my pajamas.

Alphonse stared at me silently, questions clear in his gaze. I just smiled back at him, stupid-like.

He chuckled knowingly and shook his head before returning to the book he was reading.

"Anyway. Don't forget that it was your last day off. We have to go back to East City headquarters tomorrow morning."

My eyes widened. I had completely forgotten. When in reality, I was the only one who needed to remember...

I grunted and crashed on the bed lazily.

"What do you think Colonel Mustang will give us this time?"

I shrugged carelessly while rolling my eyes. "Dunno. He told me something about a Sewing-Life Alchemist when we came back from Liore. I'm leaning towards that."

Tomorrow was going to be a long day...

I yawned and got under the covers. "Goodnight Al."

"Goodnight brother." He said as he exited the room and headed for y/n's.

Oh, right. I forgot he spends the nights with her now.

I wonder what they talk about when I'm not around.

I bet they're criticising me...

Y/n's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and sat up on the bed.

"Good morning, y/n."

I jumped at the voice but sighed when I saw Alphonse waving at me in the corner of my room.

"Hehe... Good morning Al. Still not used to having someone in my room."

I looked at my fake state alchemist pocket watch.

I was suprised to see it was only 5:06 am.

I decided to surprise Ed and make new automail libs for him.

Al accepted to tag along. He said he and Edward needed to be at East City hq in the afternoon so I had the whole day to start Edward's automail.

I put my clothes from yesterday night on, walked to the kitchen and grabbed an apple, a piece of paper and a pen.

Out to borrow books for research.

Y/n and Alphonse.

I put the note on the dining table, grabbed my purse, took a bite of the apple and joined Al at the exit.

"Y/n..?" I heard a familiar voice say.

We turned around to meet Maes in his state alchemist uniform.

"Oh, hey Maes. We were just heading out to get alchemy research books." I said with a smile.
