The Musical Alchemist: An Edward Elric Love Story (Under Major Editing)

Chapter 13 - It was a Rainy Day

CLARE'S POV

I was enjoying my dream about pizza and pasta, but I was abruptly awakened by Ed and Al yelling at each other. I look out the window to see the sun shinning brightly through, blinding me as I was attempting to get up. When I walked out of Ed's room, Ed is on top of Al hitting him in the head.

Al: Just admit it already.

Ed: No!

Ed hits him in the head again.

Me: Admit what?

They both look at me surprised and both jumped away from each other.

Ed: It's nothing.

Me: Um it's something if you're hitting your brother in the head.

Al: Yeah brother, jeez.

Al stands up and fixes his helmet.

Al: Oh great there's a dent in it.

Me: I can fix it.

I walk up to him, but Ed stops me.

Ed: Let it be for now.

Me: Payback I'm assuming?

He nods while smirking at Al.

Al: Awe come on brother, fix it.

Ed: Nope and don't beg Clare either.

Al: Darn.

He walks out the apartment.

Me: Where's Al going?

Ed: Just for a walk I guess.

Me: I see... So what did he want you to admit?

His face suddenly goes red and scratches the back of his head.

Ed: Don't worry about it Clare.

Me: You sure?

I take a step towards him, making him move back a little. Is his face getting even redder? Is he sick? Nah probably not, but it is kinda warm in here.

Ed: Aha yeah I'm sure.

Me: Okay if you say so.

I hear his gasp in relief, so I just rolled my eyes.

Me: Well I'm heading to my room for a bit, so meet me there in a hour?

Ed: Sure.

He gives me a thumbs up, so I do the same as I run out the room. When I get to my room, everything is still in place where I left it which is good. When I head into the bedroom, I pulled out the outfit I set myself aside for today. Nina picked this outfit out for today when we played dress up earlier this week. I pulled on the outfit and smiled knowing Nina will be happy. It was a floral light blue dress that flowed and stopped before my knees. Along with it, I'm wearing white flats and a brown leather bag to keep my emergency metals in. When I finish getting ready, I hear a knock on the door. Probably Ed. Sure enough as I open the door, Ed and Al fly in grinning at me.

Me: What? Nina asked me to.

I look down in embarrassment. When I have enough guts to look back up, I sense Al probably smiling while Ed's mouth is wide open.

Al: It looks good on you Clare.

Me: Thanks.

I look back to Ed again who's still speechless. Man is he going to this every time I wear a different outfit?

Me: Ed close your mouth before you catch flies.

I begin opening the door.

Me: Well we should get going.
