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