*2 Years later*
*age 18*
A/N: I just wanted to point out (again) that this story is NOT going to be like the anime or manga. It's going to be totally different, well not totally but, a lot. So just keep that in mind while reading! I also know most of y'all aren't 18 but just pretend lol! So sorry for making the Timeskip 2 years! As I said before it's to make the conclusion make more sense (does not mean that this is the end yet but it's coming up soon) Also sorry for not updating in awhile, just feeling a little depressed and I've been pretty busy so yeah sorry but anyway, Thanks for reading!❤️

Y/N's POV:

It's been 2 years about, since Ed and I have been together. To be honest though, it's not like we were a real real couple. Yeah, we kiss sometimes and stuff but, we spent most of our time to find a way to get his and Al's body back. We've been so close multiple times but failed, but we haven't given up and we never will. Not only were we doing that, we were also helping Colonel Mustang with things going around in Central and other locations. Otherwise, that's pretty much all we did, we had no time to be a real real couple which didn't bother me. At least I knew we both loved eachother, even though the "L" word was rarely said to one another, only on rare occasions, but I was fine with it.

Today was a normal day, I woke in our crappy hotel. Ed and I had to share a bed but, at least it wasn't super awkward like it was before we got together. However, every now and then Ed and I will have our "Awkward Moments". Anyway, I woke up, I had no clue what time it was. Ed had his arm around me like always. I really wanted to know the damn time. I glance down and see Ed's State Alchemist pocket watch. I slowly reached for it. When it was in my grasp I pried it opened which was kind of difficult. Once it was open, I noticed there was something engraved on the inside.

"Don't Forget Oct 3." I whispered to myself. I quickly thought back to when Edward and Alphonse burned down their house. Burned down all their memories that happened in that house... I personally wasn't there when they did it but, I remember Winry telling me, otherwise Ed hasn't mention it... I quietly sigh. I then remember the reason why I opened the watch in the first place. I looked at the clock, 5:57 am. Before I could close it, someone gently grabbed my wrist. I look up and see Ed's golden orbs staring into my (e/c) ones. Shit...

"What are you doing?" He whispered, his hand closed the watch. I gulped.

"Um, I was just checking the time... I'm s-sorry...." I whispered back.

"It's fine... Did you read what's on the inside...?" He asked. I slowly nodded. Ed sighed.

"I'm pretty sure you know what happened right?" He asked. I nodded once more.

"I haven't even showed Al..." He mumbled. I looked away.

"I'm sorry for opening it..." I apologized. He laid his head back down, removing his arm off of me. He's upset a little.

"Whatever, it's fine..." He mumbled rudely. No it's not... I sighed and rolled off the bed. I then exit the bedroom to find Alphonse sitting at the table reading some sort of book. He glance up at me.

"Hey (y/n). Why are you up so early? Did you and Brother get into a fight?" He asked. Ed and I on occasion, got into fights. I wouldn't really call this situation a fight though. I shrugged.

"Not really..." I replied sitting across from him.

"Oh. Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I say reaching for the newspaper that was laying on the table. I began to read, same with Al and his book. A couple hours went by when I got up to take a shower. The bathroom was located in the bedroom so I had to be quiet when I entered the room just in case Ed was still sleeping. I crept into the room as quietly as I could. I quickly collected clean clothes and a towel. Just as I was about to enter the bathroom, I hear Ed's voice.

"I'm sorry... for acting like a jerk earlier..." He mumbled. I slowly turned around to look at him. I slightly smile.

"Uh, it's fine. Um, I'm sorry for snooping around at your stuff..." I apologized. He gave me a small smile.

"It's okay..." He said. There was then awkward silence.

"Uh, well I'm gonna take a shower so talk to you later." I mumbled quickly entering the bathroom before he could reply. Once I was in there, I let out a sigh. Man, I hate awkwardness. I then walked to the shower and started the water. I felt for the right temperature, took off my clothes and hopped in.

*Mini Time Skip*

After my shower and after I got done changing, I walked out of the bathroom. I see Ed in his red coat, I assume we were about to leave.

"Hey (Y/N), you ready to go?" He asked. I nodded as I put my damp (h/c) hair into a high ponytail. We walked out of the bedroom and told Al that we were going. We all walked out of the hotel and went to HQ. When we walked into Colonel Mustang's office, it looked like he was accepting us at that moment.

"Good you guys are here. Perfect timing. I need you to go check in town for Scar. Some people have been reporting his whereabouts" Mustang explained. We've have fought Scar once before, thats when Ed broke his Automail and we had to go back to Risembool to get it fix. Anyway, we went back outside to locate Scar. Mustang didn't give us any information to where exactly he was so this was going to be a pain in the ass. Ed was still proactive about me fighting. And of course, being the stubborn person I am, I wouldn't listen to his pleads of me leaving. That would be the number one reason for us getting into our fights. A scream interrupt my thoughts. We all ran to locate the scream. In an alley we see Scar. He had his tattooed arm about to attack this random man. If I'm correct, the man was a state alchemist. Scar was known for attacking and even killing state alchemist, when he was an alchemist himself. I've seen him kill a person before... All he has do is place his hand on them then in seconds the person will die with blood spilling out of them...

"Leave him alone!" I shout. Scar looked up and glared. I quickly crouched down to draw a transmutation circle. I then transmuted a weapon, which was like spear stick thing, for me to use. I stand back up getting ready to fight.

"Foolish girl, why are you helping the Fullmetal Alchemist?" He asked in dark voice. I knew he had a grudge against State Alchemist because of the Civil War. Some Alchemist killed his people, I feel bad for him but, that doesn't give him the right to kill anybody.

"Isn't your business... Why are you trying to kill innocent people?" I asked. He growled in response. He then lunged at me ready to attack. Luckily I ducked and stuck my weapon out, causing Scar to trip. Ed was already to fight, he had his Automail transmuted into a spear like thing. Al was ready as well. Scar very quickly got up and was ready to attack. He pounced at Ed ready to hit him but Ed grabbed his hand. Before Scar could break Ed's automail again, I swiped my weapon underneath his feet, causing him to fall once more.

"Thanks..." Ed mumbled. I nodded. Without a transmutation circle, Ed made the walls around us to trap Scar in a cube like structure.

"Yeah! We got him." Al exclaimed. In a matter of seconds, Scar destroyed the structure. All our smiles faded. Scar was about to attack Ed once but I quickly pushed him aside and I took the beating. He only punched my face which wasn't anything serious but it's still hurt like hell. Ed shot me a glare. He was pissed that I got hurt instead of him. I rolled my eyes. It's all right for him to protect me but I can't protect him. So logical... Scar tried punching me once more but I grabbed his hand at the right time. He pushed my arm back and I swear a heard a crack but maybe I was just imagining it. I pull my arm away feeling pain run down it. With the other hand, I tried using the spear part of my weapon but he grabbed it and his alchemy broke it in half. I gasped. Ed stepped in front of me.

"Leave her alone..." He said in a dark tone which kind of scared me. I backed away and stood by Al.

"Are you okay (y/n)?" He asked worryingly. I nodded holding my injured arm. Then from behind me, I heard a gun shot which scared the crap out of me. I turned around and see half of the military there. Riza Hawkeye shot the gun giving a warning. Mustang was here as well. Scar and Ed stopped fighting to look back as well.

"That's enough." Mustang said. While everybody's back was turned, Scar bolted from us, Ed was about to run after him but Mustang shook his head.

"Let him go Fullmetal...We will catch him later but it looks like your girlfriend got hurt. You better stop." Mustang explained. Ed turned around to look at me. Worry in his golden eyes.

"Let's go back to hotel... I'll help you with your injury there..." Ed said. I smiled at him. He then picked me up bridal style and stared to walk away. I blushed.

"Uh, Ed...? I didn't hurt my legs, I can walk." I said with a chuckle.

"I know but, just please let me carry you..." He said in a slight serious tone. I nodded in reply as we walked back off to the hotel.
