Chesney was sitting around the automail shop. It was a slow day. Since Winry (her sister) started working in RushValley, things have been kind of dead. It’s only she, grandma and Den (the dog). The Elric brothers haven’t visited in a long time either. Chesney was reading a book to pass the time. Her thoughts were interrupted by a picture falling out of her book, probably used as a bookmark. It was a photo of her, Edward Elric, Winry and Alphonse Elric as kids; they were playing in the snow together. Chesney picked up the photo with one hand, glanced at it and smiled. She folded the page in her book and closed it, then placing it down. Chesney decided to hang up this photo over her desk where there were many others like it hanging. She placed it right over her desk in the center with a tack and murmured “I miss you guys”. The moment was interrupted by Pinako exclaiming “Chesney look, it’s snowing”. Chesney ran over to the window where Pinako and Den were standing. Den barked excitedly. “I think she wants to go outside, I’ll take her,” Chesney said, Pinako nodded in response. Chesney leashed up Den and went outside.
Den was running through the snow excitedly, it was the first snowfall of the year. After trying to chase Den for a few minutes, Chesney tripped and fell tiredly in the snow. “Man I’m out of shape,” Chesney muttered, then laughing a little. “Same as always,” a voice muttered. Chesney looked up and saw it Was Edward and Alphonse standing in front of her mockingly. “ED! ALPHONSE! Where the heck have you guys been?” Chesney exclaimed, after jumping up. “We were in the neighborhood. I need repair, is Winry here?” Edward explained, making Chesney deflate. She felt unneeded; it seemed they always came just for Winry. “No she’s still in RushValley under her internship,” Chesney said, disappointment in her voice. “Can Pinako fix my arm then?” Edward asked. “She could. If not I can help,” Chesney said. “Let’s go ask the old lady Al,” Edward said then walking past Chesney to go inside. Chesney stood there dejectedly, she was always just Winry’s little sister to Edward, despite having great repair skills of her own. Alphonse sensed this so he picked up Chesney and carried her like a log. “Come on Chesney, let’s go inside. You too Den,” Alphonse said then leading them inside.
Edward was already talking to Pinako about repair things. Pinako asked Chesney to get her tools. So Chesney grabbed the chest and handed it to Pinako. “Also, check over Alphonse for me. Incase he has a bolt loose or something,” Pinako added. Chesney grabbed one of her wrenches and asked Al to sit down in a chair. While Edward was screaming in pain over his arm being tightened, Chesney tightened Alphonse’s bolts after removing his head piece ever so gently. Alphonse and Chesney chuckled at Edward’s pain in the mean time. Alphonse was finished pretty quickly so Chesney went to the kitchen to start dinner, and Alphonse helped due to being so insistent. “I’m so sorry brother pushed you aside like that Chesney,” Alphonse started. “I’m used to it. I learned from Pinako too and I’m a pretty good mechanic. I get Winry is better but I can fix him too. Pinako is getting older so I worry about her doing too much,” Chesney explained. “If it means anything he doesn’t mean to,” Alphonse stated. “Good try Alphonse,” Chesney said with a sigh. “You’re my favorite mechanic Chesney. You fixed me so many times, like when I was literally a bunch of flattened metal pieces,” Alphonse said kindly. “Aw thanks Alphonse,” Chesney said with a blush on her cheeks.
“He’s just so sweet,” Chesney thought to herself. Chesney stirred the pot of stew in thought. “She’s so cute. I wonder what she’s thinking about. Probably not me,” Alphonse thought, pitying to himself. Alphonse always had a crush on Chesney, since they were kids, but he thinks she likes Ed.
The moment of solitude was interrupted by the stove timer going off. The stew and rice were done cooking. “Alphonse can you grab me the bowls?” Chesney asked him. “Of course Chesney,” Alphonse said as he grabbed the plates and handed them to her. Chesney served everyone and Alphonse placed them on the table. “DINNER!” Chesney yelled, making Pinako and Edward come to the table and sit. Alphonse and Chesney sat down after. Everyone began eating soon after, it was quiet. Edward ate quickly and went upstairs to the guest bedroom, leaving the remaining three at the table. “What’s his problem?” Chesney muttered, then eating moodily. Once the other two (seeing how Alphonse can’t really eat) finished, Chesney put the plates in the sink. She was about to d dishes but Pinako butted in and insisted she do them instead. Chesney sighed and went into the living room, where she sat there feeling useless. Alphonse came into the living room and sat on the floor next to the couch. “I talked to brother, he says he’s sorry for being rude,” Alphonse said. “Thanks,” Chesney muttered, as she curled under a blanket on the couch. Alphonse sighed, she was never this mopey and he hated it. He just had to do something, but he didn’t know what. “Hey, Chesney…” Alphonse started, making Chesney look at him.
“I never have seen you this way… This… down… So uh, you should tell me why you’re like this,” Alphonse said awkwardly. “Down?” Chesney asked. “Is it about brother?” Alphonse asked. “Well yea I’m mad he basically sees me as Winry’s little sister and that’s it. Apparently I’m useless unless it’s getting Winry or Pinako for repair. Grandma Pinako is getting older but she still coddles me. I worry about her, she usually made Winry do everything,” Chesney explained. “Oh… I see,” Alphonse started. “Wait, so… You’re not in love with brother or something?” Alphonse asked awkwardly. “Me… Like Edward? PFFFT,” Chesney said, then bursting out laughing. “Oh thank goodness! I thought you fell for that buffoon and you were sad he was ignoring you,” Alphonse explained, shyly. “ME AND EDWEIRD?! ALPHONSE THAT’S REDICULOUS!” Chesney exclaimed, then continuing to laugh. “I’m no longer mopey, thanks Alphonse,” Chesney said then patting him on the (metal) arm. “Glad I could help…” Alphonse said shyly. “Is there something on your mind Alphonse?” Chesney asked. Alphonse mentally slapped himself, he could never hide anything from Chesney so why was this any different?
“I got to come clean…” Alphonse decided.
Alphonse sighed, a bit loudly. “Chesney… I don’t know how to say this, but I’m going to try anyway,” Alphonse started. Chesney urged him to continue by looking at him and slowly blinking a few times. “Chesney… I’ve had a crush on you since we were kids. I thought you liked Edward so I got jealous,” Alphonse confessed. Chesney looked at Alphonse in surprise, and then she smiled at him. “I like you too Alphonse, I always did. Even though you’re a giant hunk of metal,” Chesney admitted, then lightly punched Alphonse’s chest, which clanged. “When I’m out of this suit of armor, I’m going to kiss you” Alphonse declared. “Ehehehe I can’t wait,” Chesney said shyly. “I’m going to check on brother, goodnight Chesney,” Alphonse said. “Goodnight,” Chesney said softly.
The next morning the Elric brothersset out to continue their traveling. Chesney tried not to cry in front of them. Alphonse gave her a big metal hug and patted her on the head. Edward said goodbye like normal, he just playfully punched her shoulder. The Elric brothers set out to continue their travels, to research how to get their bodies back. Chesney knew that they would find it out eventually, she believed in them. Shortly after they left, Winry came in the doors of the automail shop. “I’M HOMEEE!” she yelled. Chesney ran over to her sister and death hugged her. “I heard the Elric’s came through,” Winry said. “Yeah they just left,” Chesney explained. “So is Al your boyfriend?” Winry teased, this made Chesney turn red. “OH MY GOD! FINALLYYYY! GRANDMA! A FEAST IS IN ORDER!” Winry exclaimed. Chesney sighed at her sister’s loudness. In the end she was glad that she’s home and that Alphonse is her boyfriend.
And they all lived happily ever after!
The End!
