A/N: So this is the first chapter of Inseparable, sequel to 'Joining you', and I am mega excited to start this story. If you haven't read 'Joining you', that should be the first thing that you should do. If not, this story will be confusing. So this is set in the last place they were heading too, Leipzig. Everything else will be explained.

Three months. That is how long the three had been in Leipzig. It would have been fine, only if they had made any progress. The only thing they had successfully done was earn some money to chase another rumor. At the moment the three were at their temporary home in Leipzig, a small apartment they had rented. All were exhausted from their long jobs.

Edward had begun working at bread shop not far from there apartment. He had no experience with baking bread, so with this job came many mistakes. He would sometimes press the wrong button, bake it too long, or add too much of one ingredient; and because of these mistakes he would usually end up home late. (He would have to redo everything he messed up that day) Thankfully though, he got in a basic rhythm of the shop and how it worked. Recently he had been doing better at his job, but he still made the occasional mistake here and there. He wondered how he even kept this job long.

Alphonse easily found a job at a local fruit stand. This also came with its difficult tasks. He would usually have to get up early in the morning (His employer's request) and then setup a stand before others got better spots. Then the rest of the day would consist of him sitting in the sun trying to sell all the fruit they had available. Even he couldn't do that though, he would usually get called upon by his employer to do random tasks that she asked of him. Even though his job wasn't too complicated, it still drained his energy by the end of the day.

Last by certainly not least, there was Winry. At first both Elric brothers told her that she didn't have to work, but this didn't stop the stubborn-minded blonde. She, unfortunately, had the hardest time finding a job. First she tried several different areas that sparked her interests somewhat, but these jobs were only for men. After cursing this world's view on women, she finally settled for a lowly job at a nearby diner. She was a waitress, outfit and all. Her day consisted of greasy food, perverted stares, and several complaints about the food. Needless to say she got exhausted by just explaining how stressful her day was.

So there they were sitting in their living room still in uniform, all tired and stressed from there day at work. But because they are childhood friends, they told everything.

"And then the woman has the nerve to complain about the food! She came to a place that is known for greasy food, and decided to give me crap about it. "Winry sighed. "I nearly slapped her and her husband."

"Her husband?" Alphonse questioned "What did he do?"

"He kept looking at me, when he was supposed to be having lunch with his wife." Winry explained. She noted Edward's flinch before continuing. "I mean, talk about rude. The least he could do was to not be so obvious about it." She finished, which was followed by silent nods from both Elric brothers.

"Well, my day was filled with mistakes." Edward said replying to Winry's story.

"Were they your mistakes?" Winry asked making it sound like there was no other answer.

"No! It's that new girl Lucia! I think she is out to get me." Edward said angrily.

"Why do you say that brother?" Alphonse asked.

"Because she is the one making all the mistakes, and yet I get blamed. She added to much flour to one batter and baking soda in one." Winry and Alphonse cringed slightly at the thought of biting into a nice piece of bread and tasting baking soda. "Then she would over-bake the bread, but still claim innocence to the whole affair. So in the end I got blamed." Edward fumed. Winry leaned against Ed's shoulder which calmed him down considerably.

"Oh yeah?" Alphonse said challenging him. "Today I had to shuffle through ten bags of rotten fruit to try to find anything good to sell. Not only that but I had zero help because the two girls that were also working for Grete were on some sort of leave. So I had to do everything myself. Do you want to know how many fruit I found that were fresh?" Alphonse asked waiting for others to question also.

"How many fruit did you find?" Winry asked.

"None." Alphonse replied quickly. "I had rotten juices up to my elbows and found no good fruit in any of those bags." He finished with a loud sigh.

"You win." Winry and Edward said unanimously. They each let out a laugh at their game.

"At least we aren't staying here long." Alphonse said with a relieved sigh.

"Where are we going to next anyways?" Winry asked slightly excited. Edward took a long pause before answering.

"We're going back to Munich." He finally said. Winry gave him a confused look, but before she could ask why Edward spoke again. "But we aren't going to the area we were just at. We are going to a different side of that city, where I was staying just before Al joined me." He finished. Winry nodded in acknowledgement.

"I don't know about you two, but I am exhausted." Alphonse yawned. "I'm going to bed. Goodnight." He finished just before retiring to his room.

"You want to go to sleep also?" Edward asked Winry.

"Yeah, but I am going to change out of this hideous uniform first." She said with a scowl has she looked at it. Her uniform was a pale pinkish color and made her look like a country milk maid, as she had described once. Edward chuckled as he went to their room and Winry left to change.

They had been sleeping in the same room for a while now. Although they were in the same room now, it wasn't out of progression of their relationship, but rather for necessity. Both felt sleepless until they were in close proximity to each other. Edward felt the need to protect Winry, while Winry felt the need for his comfort. So in turn it worked out for both of them, despite the fact that weren't that advanced in their love-life.

At this moment Winry stepped in a white night gown that reached to the end of her knee. She smiled at Edward who was already sitting on their bed. She sat right next to Edward and gave him a small peck on lips before laying down the bed while still having her face turned towards him. He also followed this move and lied down beside her while still watching her face.

"Are you worried about going to Munich?" He asked in a slightly concerned voice.

"No, I mean it is a big city. Plus I'm not even sure if Isabel is still around." She said quietly. "Is there a lead there?" She asked.

"Not as of yet, but I have an idea that someone there might know something." Edward said in the same quiet tone.

"Hmm. Okay." Winry said already closing her eyes and giving into sleep. Edward wrapped his arm around her upper back and pulled her a bit closer into his chest. She smiled at this movement just before falling into deep sleep.

A/N: Anyways, I'm posting this later than it was originally written, so updates should come in soon. Plus I know I did make them 'innocent' (?) I guess. Then again I don't always see people sleeping with each other right after they start dating. Although, that's because I live in a religious area….it sucks.

Either way, it works. Reviews are appreciated.
