Estuarine:
Relating to the part of a large river where it becomes wide and flows into the sea.
This Story follows Y/n on a very rocky adventure, from suffering a tragedy in childhood to moving in with the Hughes Family and meeting a certain someone...
Silence filled in the room. Which, Purposefully, made the silence sound so fucking loud (Minty: don't mind the laziness)
"Yo.."
"Have you two met before?"
"Yeah, where's the armor kid tho?"
"Oh, you mean Al? He's in Resembol"
"You're from Resembol??"
"Huh?..uh yeah?"
"Is the sheep Festival still a thing??" It's been so long since I've visited"
I heard The Colonel clear his throat
"Well then, now that the two of you are settled, we will be having a meeting with the Fuhrer discussing about your results. As you two know fully well, you're both the youngest male and female alchemists in history. Congratulations miss L/N and Elric"
"Thank you so much" I said with an enthusiastic tone. There was a pause before we heard Three simple knocks
" By any chance Roy, have you seen y/n? I seem to have lost h-"
"Unfortunately, Miss L/n had some business with me about her future career in the military."
"Haah..I see" a glint could be seen in his glasses
"Have we had a female alchemist or any of that sort of weird shenanigans?"
"You make alchemy seem too much of a weird study Hughes" Mustang sighed and chuckled a bit
"I'm just a normal civilian Roy, anyways, Y/n you can leave early today.." he stares at Edward
"No dating, no boys, and NO boys"
He pulls out his usual 'threatening' glint in his glasses. Draining the room of all color ¿.-.
"Well.. wanna head out Ed?"
"Sure, I'm starving"
We leave the two military officials in awe, you could see Hughes' whole energy starting pale while Mustang left with a straight face
Anyways, after trying to solve the puzzle of a central command center, we managed to escape
"I can make some pasta tonight, would you like to come over?"
"Sure, but uh.. would General Hughes be okay with that?" I could see his blank smile dry of color.
"Nonsense! He loves pasta. Of course though.. Mrs. Hughes might already have something"
"In that case, are you sure it's okay if I tag along Y/n?"
"Make yourself useful and they'll appreciate anything you have to offer." I offered a smile before talking once more
"Now then, we'll also be picking up some extra ingredients. Dinner always tastes good with guests anyway" I punched his shoulder.
We arrived to a small marketplace and started picking up ingredients for garlic bread and potatoes. Let's not forget desert
We walk back to the Hughes' home, making Ed useful by carrying the veggies while going back.
It was around 3 or 4pm by the time we arrived and started cooking. I went to my room, got dressed in a casual olive green skirt, tucked in an oversized cream toned shirt and put on my apron.
I come out of the room to find the boiling water on fire
"HOW DO YOU MESS UP THIS BAD????"
"WhAT DO YOU MEANNNN???? I was trying to put the pasta in the pot"

(Minty: kinda the face he doing? I'll be drawing out a couple of faces I'll be referencing during the story )
"Damn bro, you kinda suck at cooking Haha"
His face clearly showed dissatisfaction and showed how done he was with my bullshit.
"Listen man, it's not my fault you can't cook. At least learn how to turn off the stove though."
I manipulated the water using my automail engraved circle. Very cool
"How'd you get your automail arm by the way? I know I'm probably asking too much but we might as well get to know each other..right??"
His voice was shaky in a funny way with his arms shaking comically
"Funny words metal boy" I somewhat paused for a short time until I spoke again. Hesitating for a moment..
"My parents and I were in a train accident. My mom died in impact, and my dad survived a couple of day before dying from brain damage. His skull shattered when he hit his head against the seat. I, on the other hand, had my arm completely severed and damaged badly. I had to get an amputation because of it so I decided to give that automail-crazy town" I joked a bit
"Oh..well.. I'm sorry"
I smacked his forehead and asked
"What about you? I spilled my hell over you, pass yours if you want to" I smiled
"Well.. this is kind of hard to say.. but I also lost my family. I lost my mom in particular, she was the best mom any kid would want."
"Mother's really are the best huh, my mom started a job in the military before she died. I wasn't as close with her but she was hardworking, and it showed as a matter of a fact"
"Heh.. My brother, Alphonse, and I performed human transmutation to try and bring our mom back. We failed. I lost alphonse's body and my leg trying to transmute her but managed to drag out his soul from the doorway"
"Doorway??"
"You never performed human transmutation??"
"I know about it but I also know that it's failed multiple times for alchemists"
"Yeah, I also read about that too, when I was younger that is"
I started boiling a new pot of water and put a bit of olive oil inside.keeping the shape ya knows
"To be honest, I used to have an urge to do when I was younger. I wanted to see my mom again but I lost too much from the train accident and didn't have a safe place to perform it"
There was a long pause. I put in the 'angel hair' in the pot and started letting the water melt the spaghetti to a softer form.
"If you could.. Would you try to bring either of your parents back?"
I stopped stirring the pot.
"I..-"
