“Hold still, ___!” Winry exclaimed as she placed a blindfold over your eyes. bạn squirmed around a bit, not liking having your eyes covered. bạn didn’t know why bạn were being blindfolded, but bạn couldn’t really argue with Winry, she always won.
“Winry, this feels weird. I can’t see,” bạn đã đưa ý kiến as Winry pushed bạn forward. bạn didn’t know where she was leading bạn hoặc why, she just somehow managed to get bạn to play along without giving any kind of explanation. “Ahhh!” bạn exclaimed, taking a step and almost falling somewhere.
“Careful, don’t fall down the steps!” Winry laughed as she continued to help guide bạn down the steps.
Finally, bạn were down the steps and Winry stopped you. bạn felt a cool breeze hit you, causing a chill to go down your spine. Winry must have taken bạn outside, but why would she do that? She didn’t need to blindfold bạn to get bạn to go outside!
“Can I take my blindfold off now?” bạn groaned, reaching to pull it off.
“No! Not yet!” Winry commanded, causing your arms to fall back to your sides. bạn sighed as bạn stood there silently. Winry didn’t say anything, but then bạn felt her presence behind you. “Keep your eyes shut after I take the blindfold off, hoặc I’ll beat bạn with my wrench,” she stated firmly.
“Alright, alright,” bạn lightly laughed, remembering how Winry would beat Edward and Alphonse with her wrench when they messed up. bạn closed your eyes and felt your blindfold being undone, then bạn felt her remove it from your eyes. It felt good for it to be off, but bạn still wanted to open your eyes. Just want was Winry doing?
bạn waited for a một phút hoặc so and nothing was happening, but then, bạn felt hands cover your eyes. For some reason though, they seemed to be standing in front of bạn instead of behind. Not the way most people play the game. bạn gasped, not expecting that to happen. bạn could tell they weren’t Winry’s hands. She always played the guess who game with bạn even when she was the only one around.
“Who is this, Winry?” bạn questioned. bạn heard Winry giggle.
“Guess who! bạn know how it works!” she exclaimed. bạn sighed on the inside, wondering who it was. It wasn’t granny, and bạn really didn’t know that many people it could be. bạn were silent for a moment, not wanting to answer wrongly, afraid bạn might hurt whoever it was’ feelings. “Come on, ___! How many people could it be?” Winry whispered in your ear.
“Um, is it Edward?” bạn asked. Winry sighed with annoyance.
“No,” Winry stated. She then grabbed your right wrist and moved it up until bạn felt your hand touching someone’s cheek. Their cheek was warm, and bạn felt them tense up a bit when Winry placed your hand on their face. bạn gasped, then a thought went through your mind. Their cheek was soft and pudgy, unlike Edward’s. bạn rubbed your thumb over their cheek once thêm before answering.
“It’s Alphonse,” bạn đã đưa ý kiến lowly, hoping the answer would be yes. If the answer was yes, then he had gotten his body back. That was something bạn had been hoping for ever since the ngày the two boys left and headed out on their journey. If the answer was wrong, you’d be crushed.
“T-that’s right,” bạn heard that soft sweet voice of his. It was a bit different than the last time. bạn could tell that it wasn’t echoing through armor. bạn smiled big and felt a few tears fall while he was still covering your eyes. He noticed this and gasped at the wetness on his hands.
“Please, di chuyển your hands,” bạn whispered to him. He did as bạn requested and removed his hands, which fell to his sides. bạn finally got to look at him. bạn hadn’t seen him in his real body since bạn were all so little. Now he was much older, and his hair was in a low ponytail. His eyes still shined the same way, and his smile was still kind, just like when bạn were kids. bạn then looked around, and noticed that Edward and Winry were gone. They were probably spying on bạn two though, bạn knew them too well.
Alphonse placed his hand over yours as bạn rested yours on his cheek. bạn had forgotten that your hand was still there, so this shocked bạn a bit. Your face turned màu hồng, hồng as bạn stared at him silently. Neither bạn nor Al đã đưa ý kiến a word, but the two of bạn looked at each other with bright smiles.
“Don’t cry, ___,” Alphonse smiled, wiping away your tears with his left thumb. bạn had forgotten bạn were even crying. bạn were only focusing on Alphonse, but the tears had started to blur your vision a bit. When he wiped your tears away, this only made bạn thêm emotional, but bạn fought these tears back, not wanting to blur your vision again.
“I missed bạn so much,” bạn whispered softly. Al’s hand fell to his side, and bạn wiped your remaining tears away with your arm. Then, out of nowhere, the boy pulled bạn into a hug, a hug that released so much emotion. Your eyes widened at first, then bạn hugged him back.
“Do bạn know why I was so set on getting my body back?” he whispered in your ear softly, causing a chill to go down your spine.
“So bạn could eat again?” bạn questioned, still in the boy’s arms. Alphonse pulled away from you, a blush was on his cheeks, but he had a calm and shy smile. His expression was adorable, and your face turned màu hồng, hồng as bạn looked into his eyes. Alphonse shook his head no.
“N-no, that’s not the main reason,” he đã đưa ý kiến shyly, twiddling with his thumbs. bạn looked at him confused, giving an expression that đã đưa ý kiến ‘then what?’
“Hm? Then, how is that not it?” bạn questioned the boy. He stood there with a sheepish smile.
“I-I lo- I can’t say it,” he said, stumbling upon his words. bạn didn’t really understand the first part and bạn looked at him confused.
“Why can’t bạn say it?” He then averted his eyes. bạn continued to stare at him. His eyes were mostly covered bởi his bangs.
“Well, it’s hard to put into words,” he lifted his head back up and looked at you.
“Then can bạn hiển thị me? Charades hoặc something?” He sighed, then swallowed hard. Your eyes were locked on him as he stepped closer to you. He shut his eyes, tilted his head, and leaned towards bạn slowly. Your eyes widened at first, then bạn calmed down and slowly shut yours as well. He grabbed your hand tightly as his face was inches away from your own. bạn tightened your grip on his hand, hoping to let him know how bạn felt. giây later, his lips touched yours gently. bạn kissed him back, and then bạn felt him smiling within the kiss.
He pulled away and smiled at bạn happily, his cheeks bright pink. He seemed a bit thêm confident now, probably because bạn returned the feelings. bạn didn’t necessarily say anything, but your actions spoke loudly, and so did his.
“I wanted my body back so badly so I could come trang chủ to you,” he started, looking into your eyes. “I wanted to be able to Kiss and hold bạn because, well, I tình yêu you, ___,” he đã đưa ý kiến a little above a whisper. bạn giggled softly at his words.
“I tình yêu bạn too, ___,” bạn started, smiling at him. “My một giây guess would have been so bạn could pet kitties,” at this, he laughed softly.
