Part 2: At the Dinner Table

Ed leans forward in his chair."Alright, food!" he says. "Smells great" You smile,"Thanks, it's stew tonight." You say putting a bowl in front of Renee and him, then Al. "I have more and some extra potatoes if your still hungry. Oh, I almost forgot. What would you like to drink?" you say still smiling. "Water for me." Ed says. "Me too." Al says awkwardly. Your smile fades but it's not too noticable. You can tell there's something different about these two, but you keep your thoughts to yourself. You don't want to offend them. "Renee?"you ask,"What about you?" "Do we still have any milk?" "We do." "Can I have some?" "Of course!"you say cheerfully and head back to the kitchen.You get a tray and four cups. You fill three cups with water, two for the boys and one for you, then fill Renee's with milk. You set them on the tray and take off your apron, hanging it up on the hook next to the stove. You pick up the tray and carry it into the dinning room. "Here we are," you say, putting their drinks down. You glance over at Ed and catch him looking at you. You blush but don't know exactly why. He blushes too. "Well eat up," you say trying to avoid any comment about whatever that little moment was. As you walk by Ed to get to your seat something catches your eye hanging out of his side pants pocket. You look quickly trying not to be rude or obvious. It was a pocket watch. That of a state alchemist.
DUN DUN DUN O_o
okay
what's a state alchemist? (Me: if you don't know then why are you reading this? did I not tell you this story revolves around the anime series Full Metal Alchemist?!)
Ed walks over to the pot and pours himself a second bowl. You look down and start to wash Al's bowl again, remembering how your father would sneak up on you then pick you up and spin you around in the air when you were little, before the war, or as amny remember it massacar began. You watch Ed as he sets the laddle down and turns around smiling at you. You manage a faint smile, but then you look away. (Ed'a point of view) "She looks so sad," you think. "Something horrible must have happened to her to make her want to leave... like me." You look down then walk back out to the dinner table. "Uncle Ed?" you hear Renee say and you look up. "What's wrong?" You smile. "Nothing," you say. The dinner table stays quiet until Jean walks out of the kitchen. "Would you like seconds, Renee?" She says smiling, being the optimist she's been since you got here as if nothing had happened. "Nope, I'm full!" Renee replies. "Alright then, go put your bowl in the sink and brush your teeth. I'll be there to tuck you in, in a second," she says still smiling and Renee runs off.
Renee is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^*
okay
I'm so motherly. (Me: yeah, thanks to me)
Your suprised and your face can't help but show it. (Al's point of view) You look up from your uneaten stew and see Jean looking suprised or maybe alarmed, you can't tell. You follow her gaze and see brother's pocket watch. "oh," you think to yourself. You look back at Jean. She reaches in her pocket and looks rather sad. Then she sees you and you quickly look down. She continues waliking to her seat, still off in a daze. You can't help but wander what she was reaching for in her pocket. And why was she so sad? (Back to your, Jean's, point of view)You sit down hoping Al doesn't think to much of what he just saw."I guess I'll have to tell them sometime," you think. "Sister. Uncle Al isn't eating" Renee says. You look up. Ed and Al look at each other with a sort of "what the hell am I supposed to say" look. "It's okay if you don't like it, you don't have to eat." You say. "Oh, no I'm sure it's delicious. I'm just not that hungry." Al says. "Okay then. Let me take your bowl for you." you say reaching for his bowl. "Thank you" he says. You walk into the kitchen once again and start to wash out his bowl. You sigh. "Father was a state alchemist too." you say to yourself as your hands stop moving and you go off in a daze. "I can barely remember his face, now. I burned all of his pictures along with mother's. I wanted to burn this house down with them and just, just leave and never turn back." You feel a warm tear run down your cheek and your fingers clutch Al's bowl. "That's what I thought too. But it's a lonely world, Jean, and I have nothing to go back to, just a pile of ashes." You look up and turn around wiping your eyes, embarrased. "Ed! How long have you been there?!" "Long enough, sorry. I didn't mean to spy on you. I was just coming back for seconds. This is really good!" "Uh, umm... thank you," you say, not quite sure what your reaction should be.
Oh, no! Ed saw me crying.
