Getting out of the freezing cold snowy wonderland that was outside, we both step inside, eager to go to the closet and grab some blankets.
"Where the hell were you for the past 7 months! You could of at least send me a letter or something!" I yell at him while speed-walking into the kitchen to grab some mugs to start making hot chocolate for the both of us.
"Well i was-"
"You had me worried sick!" I say angrily as I put the pot of water, chocolate, cinnamon, and vanilla on the stove. Ughhh I hate water in my hot chocolate but Edward is a milk hating bastard so I have to manage.
"Well if you let my finish, I could explain why I couldn't send you anything"
Pouring the hot chocolate, still angry, I decide to hear him out this once. "Then finish"
"While you were lounging around, me and Alphonse were in the library day and night trying to find a way to get our bodies back."
"By the way, where is Alphonse?"
"Still with the military.They wanted to keep him for signing papers or something like that" of course.
"Oh"
"We found a lead and we thought that we had finally found the answer... we we're wrong"
He pauses. Something's wrong. He gets up from the couch and walks toward me. Shadows form around his eyes.
"The Philosopher stone it's... It's made out of human souls" w-w-what? I was sure that they would find another way to get there bodies back. This is terrible. O-oh my god.
"It- we we're so close Winry... So close... But it slipped away..."
Tears appeared out of the corners of his shadowed eyes. He falls against me, his tears soaking through my shirt. Cold on my skin.
"... So damn close..."
All I could do was stand there, my hand stroking the back of his head. Tears fall from my eyes like waterfalls of joint emotion, feeling the same he feels. But what I feel is probably not even the half of the chaos that's going through his head right now. We stand there. Not moving, as one person, together. I kiss him on the forehead to comfort him and he looks up
"Winry..."
Something soft touches my lips... Wait a second is Edward... Kissing me? He must of felt the surpise on my face because he pulled back.
"Is this ok?" he looks at me with anticipation. I nod my head.
"I love you Winry"
"I love you too Edward"
