Chapter 2! Woo! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, only Jenna!
Both Ed and I were a little grumpy when we woke up, but I was starting to realize that that might just be Ed…
"Good mowrning!" Nina called to us.
"Good morning, Nina!" I smiled at her.
"What's for breakfast?" Ed groaned.
"Well I don't know, why don't you go make it," I retorted.
He glared at me, but I just shrugged and walked away to put some toast in the toaster.
After I buttered it and sat down, Ed somehow got the idea that it was also his food. He reached for a slice of toast, but a grabbed it while it was in his hands. I pulled it back to me, but he didn't let go. He yanked it back, growing a tick mark when I didn't let go. We went back and forth like this, growing tick marks as we went.
"Would you let go already?" Ed finally shouted.
"No, dammit! This is my food! Get your own!"
Nina giggled across the table.
I decided just to let him have the piece of toast, and then I scooped up the rest of my food and walked outside.
"I'll be out here if you need me!"
I laid down on my stomach in the grassy yard. Well it's a nice enough day out… Might as well go tanning…
What I didn't know was that while I was doing this, Ed and Al walked out onto the porch. Edward staring at me, lying down on my stomach in the yard in a bathing suit, topless, eating breakfast.
"Brother, didn't I tell you yesterday that it's not polite to stare?"
"Relax Al, she doesn't even know we're out here!" Ed said, "Jeez did she forget she has two teenage boys staying with her?" he laughed.
"Ooh what's she doing?" Nina asked curiously as she came out with Alexander.
"Uhhh, we'll tell you later," Ed answered evasively, "Hey Alexander, come here!"
"Brother, don't!" Al tried to stop him when he saw his brother's evil smirk.
"Go get her!" he motioned to me.
The next thing I knew I was trapped underneath the dog's massive body.
I screamed and Edward shouted from the porch, "Ha! That's what you get for the toast!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I GAVE YOU THE TOAST DAMMIT!" I was going to get back at him somehow for this.
Then it hit me - I had no shirt on.
I screamed and hugged my chest. The brothers were laughing and Nina was just watching in wonder. "DON'T LOOK DAMMIT!"
They laughed and went back inside. I felt myself blushing violently as I quickly put on my shirt. I stood up, brushed myself off, and marched inside with my held head high…
"Decided you're done tanning?" Ed smirked.
"I'm sorry," Al whimpered.
I walked right up to Edward and smacked him upside the head…
"What was that for?" he yelled rubbing the back of his head.
"WHATAYA THINK?"
Ok, so maybe that wasn't the best way to get back at him, but hey it'll do for now.
I walked to the library and pulled out a book from one of the shelves. Then I plopped down on my regular armchair and tried to focus on the book, even though I was still fuming.
Was he only just pretending to be that nice yesterday? Like a first impression or something?
For some reason I didn't want to believe that.
I spent the rest of my day cooped up in the library studying and avoiding Edward. It would just be awkward… Plus I was waiting for him to apologize. I realized I might have to confront him when I wanted to go to sleep, but at 11 o'clock at night I fell asleep in my armchair.
"Brother, you should get some sleep."
"Hold on, let me just check something."
"Fine, I'll be in my room."
"Huh? What's she doing here?"
Suddenly I woke up to someone carrying me. Ed?
"What're you doing?" I asked him in a daze.
"Well you were asleep when I found you," he replied, "Thought you might want to sleep in your own bed…"
Is he… blushing?
I leaned my head into his chest; I was dead tired. "Thanks," I said.
"No problem," he said.
"Do you know you talk in your sleep?" he grinned, setting me down on the bed.
I sat up - I was going to have to change anyway, "R-really?"
"Yea, for the most part you were reciting alchemic formulas."
"Guess that's what I get for falling a asleep with my nose in a book…"
"Guess so!" he laughed
There was a short silence until Ed said, "Hey, I really am sorry about earlier…"
"Oh.. Thank you," I smiled to myself, "I'm sorry for hitting you."
He grinned at me, "No, I probably deserved it!"
Before we went to sleep he said, "You said something else in your sleep, Jenna… Who's Robin?"
I turned away, not wanting to show him my change of emotion, "My mom…"
