You never had a problem with your blindness since you had been like this since you were a child. You couldn't remember how it happened but you knew that it left your father dead and your mother in a wheel cheer for a few years before she decided she couldn't live like that anymore.

You were angry your parents left you- for you felt like you weren't necessarily wanted for a while. But then you came to terms with the fact that you were now an orphan and your blindness couldn't be cured.  You guessed you just saw the positive side that you parents were now happy and free of any harm.

The car accident occurred on the way to your cousin; Winry Rockbelll's house. You were going to have a little get together with Winry, Pinako and also the Elric which consisted of Edward, Alphonse and their kind mother, Trisha.

This place was now your home and now here you were sitting by the fireplace at night, reaching your hand out to feel the heat of flames radiate onto you. You smiled when you felt the warmth and cuddled into Den's fur who you relied on for little things he could help out with.

You heard footsteps coming from around the corner from the kitchen; having already memorised the rooms and how may steps it roughly take to get there. Suddenly Winry's sweet voice interrupted the silence and you turned your ear towards her, listening to her speak, "Hey, I'm going to bed- You need anything?"

You smiled gently- basking in the heat for a little bit more before you called out to her, "Winry- help me to my room please?"

You didn't really need her help but it felt nice to feel another persons warm and smooth skin against yours. You felt peaceful when you could hold onto someone- you didn't like to think you were dependant of people because you hated it when people pitied you but you liked to feel them- comparing them to a younger boy's skin that did something to your insides. Now that was strange.

Winry smiled to herself gently, feeling happy that you wanted to hold her hand - you were unofficially her younger sister anyway. And so she lightly grasped your shoulder, sliding her hand down your arm to grab your hand that wasn't petting Den. Den noticed the movements and sped into your room to go to bed and you stood up calmly, entwining you fingers with hers.

By now you two were walking through the house quietly, now upstairs Winry gave your hand a tiny press and you could just hear her lips separating; indicating you she was about to speak, "Hey, Edward called me- so you know whose coming!" She sang, giggling lightly causing that farmilar hotness to reach your cheeks and ears.

You grinned, biting your lip to lower your smile. You slapped her wrist playfully and she continued to chuckle at your cute reaction. Winry secretly thought your reactions were so adorable because when they wouldn't be present in your eyes- your other senses made up for it, doubling in your appearance and making your emotions show more openly.

You made it to your bedroom- hearing Winry laugh louder when you sped up to end the conversation quicker. Winry the tucked you in, kissing your forehead as you dozed off to sleep.

The next morning you got up, hearing Den's paws patter on the ground as he played around on the floor beside you. You got up, rubbing your face as you felt the warm sunlight kiss your skin. You yawned and sighed sitting in your spot in bed before you heard hushed voices from downstairs.

You stilled, you thoughts coming to a halt when you heard two new voices in the kitchen; one that belonged to a blonde Elric and other coming from his hollow younger brothers armour. Listening to them speak you then called out for Den who approached your awaiting hand and guided you to the door- letting you go downstairs when you jumped at the loud male yell of Edward.

"(Y/N)! You're finally awake!"

You held you heart in surprise, letting a cheerful smile cover up your startled reaction and laughed, turning your to head to face the voice of Edward and finally embracing him when he walked straight into your open and awaiting arms.

You felt his muscles through his shirt, and his hair that was in a braid on his back that had grown a tiny bit longer. You also felt that he had grown in height as well, only a few inches but you knew Edward would grow ecstatic to hear that.

"So! How do I feel?" He asked excitedly, waiting on what changes he had since you last held him.

You chuckled at his childish voice and squeezed his hand when you both parted from the hug, "You're taller, Ed- muscular too." You snickered out in delight- you could practically feel the boastful grin on Ed's face as you could imagine Winry rolling her eyes.

You stopped suddenly when you also heard another chuckle- it sounded like it was hollow and didn't want to be heard yet,

"Alphonse is here?" You uttered out quietly, stopping all the speaking which now allowed you to hear the familiar clanks on metal as he shuffled towards you without a word.

You slowly reached your arms out- Alphonse doing that same and your hands finally met. Your hands then travelled up his arms and onto his chest and going to his face. It was like your hands had a mind of there own and Alphonse let you do as you pleased. You smiled but it slowly turned morose when you thought about Alphonse's real body and how this metal armour gave you nothing of what you wanted to feel.

You reached down to his hand again which he gladly accepted and led him to the front door so you could both sit outside in the sunlight and continue your usual routine of Alphonse telling you everything he saw in vivid detail while half your mind was calmly listening and the other half was thinking about when you first met the youngest Elric.

- - Flash Back - -

Your eight year old self was visiting your nine year old cousin that day, you had only recently gone blind and you were very frustrated that you couldn't see. Your young self had no idea how you were supposed to live like normal but you just had to move on.

Everyone knew about what had happened and none of them mentioned anything of it, making you extremely grateful. Winry, Granny Pinako, Edward, Alphonse and Trisha had all treated you the same and they all guided you through the home that you were now going to be living in.

The boys got nervous around you and they didn't know how they were going to play with you if you couldn't see- it was dangerous. Your eight year old self kept picturing Ed and Al's face in your mind but tears began to sting your eyes when you realised you couldn't actually see them and that they would stay young forever.

Ed and Al panicked, not wanting to get told off when they thought they made you cry but Granny Pinako just watched as you held your hands out towards the voices, clenching and unclenching your fists. Edward made the first move to approach you, grabbing your small and weak hand in his and he then sat in front of you, letting your hands go to his face to feel everything on it.

You felt his hair, chest and you shakily touched his cheeks, eyes and nose. His cheeks and neck- burning every little detail into your memory. You sniffed a little and nodded your head towards the ground, silently telling Edward you were done and Alphonse came next.

You did the same to him, delicately examining his face and the way he slowly breathed in relaxation. His smooth and warm skin made you stop your movement, tingles being received throughout you body and you knew then that your face was covered in blush. Continuing to touch his forehead, you froze when Alphonse's shaking fingers came up to wipe away the tears that were drying on your face.

You didn't know why you felt this way around the boy. From that day on it was like your other senses were constantly on alert around him and he didn't even need to speak for you to know he was there because of the wild zoo exploding in your tummy.

Every time Alphonse visited Winry's house- he always knew the unofficial drill, he secretly loved it when you would look at his face with such amazement and astonishment, feeling his skin and he was always waiting for the next time he could come over and let you do it again.

- - End of Flashback - -

After listening to Alphonse talk about the scenery outside, Winry was also fixing Ed's automail so now they had left again, leaving you alone with your cousin and granny.

That night you were cuddling with Winry because she knew you would always get a bit blue whenever the boys left back for central to find a way to get their bodies back. You had so many things on your mind and you hated how you couldn't get the way Alphonse's metal made you feel out of you head. You didn't like touching his cold and hard armour because it made you feel disconnected from him in a way. You loved to talk to him- His voice matched the way he looked in your head because of how he never really aged as a soul.

But it wasn't enough. You ached to feel his skin again, you yearned to touch the soft tresses on his head and to feel his lips tremble under your light fingertips. Those moments were so intimate and cherishing to you and you hated how they took that away from you.

"What are you thinking so hard about (Y/N)?" You nearly jumped at the raspy voice that resembled a tired Winry. You huffed, snuggling back into your pillow and opened your mouth- thinking about what to say due to the racing thoughts in your mind.

"I-.. I despise the face that Alphonse isn't human." You declared with a strong voice. Winry watched you with wide eyes, not expecting that sort of confession but nevertheless she grabbed your hand that wasn't tucked under the blankets- motioning you to elaborate and go on.

"I'm not trying to sound selfish but I want his body back so I can feel th-that.. Thing I always used to feel."

"Thing?"

"I don't know what it is- or was, Winry but it's like an addiction, His skin.. it did things to me that I couldn't even comprehend. It was like.. a whole zoo was just convulsing wildly in my stomach and I feel like I'm gonna become sick but I never want that feeling to go away. I can feel the way his eyes pierce into my face and I love that I know he's looking even if I can't see it. But I can't help but become so mad at those boys because of what they took from me."

"I hate having to feeling the metal of Alphonse's body and I want him back Winry."

The silence was almost deafening, you thought you were just on the verge of taking it too far by the way Winry had completely stopped. It was like she wasn't even next to you by the way she was so noiseless.

But then to your ultimate surprise she began jumping and giggling, shaking the bed as bubbles of laughter escaped her mouth. You grew worried- not expecting such a reaction before she spoke and you became thoroughly frozen and mute for the rest of the night and the next day.

"You're in love with Alphonse!"

- Time Skip Four Months Later -

Sitting in your home in Resembool, you continued to sit by the fireplace at about midday. You knew it was quiet in your home since it was pretty big for three people to live in, but something seemed off. Like it was too quiet.

You heard tiny patters of feet and breathing but you guessed it was Den who had gotten bored from laying beside you at the fireplace. Then you heard someone take a seat beside you and you looked over curiously.

"Winry, I thought you didn't like it here- isn't it too hot or something?" You asked, referring to the heat that was diffusing onto your body. You heard a feminine giggle from the couch in the living room where you were situated and you looked behind you, towards the sound.

Feminine? This time you quietly listened for anything out of the ordinary before Winry's girly voice broke the silence.

"You're right (Y/N), It is too hot."

You sucked in a breath, confusion taking over your face when you heard the voice come from the couch where you first assumed your cousin was. You then looked back next to you thinking about who was there quietly embracing the heat with you.

The stranger then startled you when they gently grabbed your hand and slowly brought it up to their cheek. You could feel the person smiling from the way there cheeks lifted under you hand but you were already still and shocked at those familiar tingles blasting from you arm and through your body.

"Alphonse." The named left your mouth before you understood anything and without a single functioning though, your body had shot up- your arms wrapped themselves around his neck as you embraced the boy in a very much needed hug- for both of your sakes. Tears ran free from yours eyes as the day you had been waiting so long for had finally arrived while Winry and Edward also smiled lovingly at the sight of you two finally being together again.

The boy chuckled in joy at your actions and you began to feel how well built he was and you felt those familiar soft and short tresses on his head. With your arms around his neck and your hands locked onto his hair he slightly pulled back to give you a well-deserved and delayed kiss that was definitely worth waiting for.

You squealed in surprised when you felt those soft and warm lips on your lips instead of your finger tips and you smiled into the kiss when you also felt the boy smile, feeling happiness and love shoot through your bodies together- skin on skin like it was always meant to be.
