Just Like Me (Ed Elric x Reader)

Chapter 17

“What? It’s not a date; we’re just going to see a-oh. Yeah, it’s a date,” You realize.

Winry drags you into her room and shuts the door behind you.

“Well, if you’re going on a date, you should wear something nice. What’s your favorite color?” She asks.

“I don’t have any clothes Winry,” You tell her.

“I have a ton of clothes, you can borrow some of mine. You look like you wear my size,” She smiles.

“Oh, okay.”

“So what’s your favorite color?” She opens her closet door.

“Uhm, (F/C),” You tell her.

“Perfect, it’ll match your hair!” She digs through her closet and pulls out two dresses. Both are (F/C), but one has long sleeves and the other just spaghetti straps.

“Which one?” She asks you.

You pick the sleeveless one and she throws it on the bed.

“Flats or heels?” Winry pulls out two pairs of black shoes. One plain flats, the other heels.

You pick the flats, “I can’t walk in heels for crap, and I don’t want to be taller than Ed,” You joke around. You both laugh.

She looks through a box on her dresser, “Do you wanna wear any jewelry?” She asks.

“No, I already have a necklace,” You point to the gear hanging from the string. Winry nods.

“At least wear this in your hair,” She pulls out a small black bow. You nod and she throws it onto the pile on the bed.

“Alright, put that on, then I’ll do your makeup,” Winry turns around while you get dressed. She turns around and her mouth drops open.

“You look great!” She says happily. You put on the shoes and stand up. She makes a motion to turn and you spin around.

The dress goes down to your knees. You look in the mirror on the wall; you can’t help but smile at how nice you look. You don’t wear fancy clothes often, so this is kind of new.

“Alright, sit down,” She pats the seat of a chair. You sit down and she looks you over.

“Well. Blush, and some eye shadow is what you need. And some mascara. At least,” she says.

She puts blush on your cheeks. Then she puts some black eye shadow lightly on your eyelids. She finishes with some mascara.

You look in the mirror. You look amazing! Winry did a great job with the makeup, the light shade of black on your eyelids fits perfectly with the rest of your outfit.

“Now, your hair,” She turns your chair so your back is facing her. She brushes the snarls out and redoes your part. She puts the little bow in your hair.

She nods, “Alright, you’re all done!”

You stand up and look in the full body mirror.

You gawk at yourself. You’ve never looked this great.

You hug Winry, “Thanks so much. You’re a great fashion consultant.”

“Well, it’s getting close to six. You should get going,” Winry says. You look at the clock and notice it’s already 5:30.

You go to open the door. You put your hand on the handle and suddenly get very nervous. You’ve never been on a date before.

“It’ll be fine. Ed loves you. I can tell at the way he looks at you. You’re perfect for him,” Winry assures you.

You open the door and walk out into the hallway. You stop at the top of the stairs and look back at Winry. She smiles and motions for you to go.

You walk down the stairs and into the kitchen. Ed is waiting for you. You walk into the kitchen and Ed’s eyes get wide.

“Whoa,” He says quietly.

“What?” you say nervously.

“You look amazing in a dress,” He says. You smile and walk over to him.

He’s wearing his usual outfit, black shirt and pants and his red jacket. His hair looks combed and in a neater braid than usual.

“You look nice too,” You say. He takes your hand and you walk to the door. He opens it and you walk out.

He closes the door and you both start walking towards town.
