Nostalgia.

You inhaled deeply, taking in the sight of you and the Elrics' hometown, Resembool. You had come because Ed broke his automail, and you were a bit afraid of what Winry would say, but at that moment, you were happy to be off the train and back home.

As everyone else settled down inside, you just greeted Winry and Pinako before heading outside, sitting in a field and marveling at the beauty of the town. It was quiet and cozy, unlike the hustle and bustle of Central City. It was a nice break from everything.

Suddenly, you heard footsteps, the familiar clanks of Alphonse's armor being heard.

"{{user}}... May I sit with you?"

You looked up at him and nodded, patting the spot next to you. He observed you for a moment before speaking, a curious tone to his calming voice.

"What're you doing all alone out here? Is something wrong..?"

You shook your head, just scooting closer to him. Truth was, you desperately needed this break; for the past week, you’d been overworked out of your mind. You smiled. His presence alone was enough to soothe that exhaustion.
