Summary: Amestris vs Xing time (from Ed and Winry’s perspective)!
A/N: Sorry for the long wait! I have had a rough day (family issues) and tbh a bit rough times overall, and despite my solemn promise, I couldn’t find the willpower to finish what I had planned for this chapter. So, I split it into two parts! I am gonna do my very best to finish the rest within the next few days that you don’t have to keep wondering how the game will end, but I hope you’ll enjoy this nevertheless. Enjoy and please review, because I’m most certainly in need of some distraction and nice words now.

Ed and Al
were walking towards the hockey arena, chatting casually about their
predictions for the upcoming game. Al claimed Xing would be a tough team to
beat, especially with the young Ling Yao as their captain, but in Ed’s opinion
his team had the upper hand, even if he himself wasn’t able to play. At some
point, Al noticed Ed was looking around restlessly, barely listening to what he
had to say.
“Are you
trying to find something?”
“No, someone. Winry wanted to come to watch this
game with us, but I’m not seeing her yet… I hope she’s gonna come soon, I’d
rather be inside when the fans start coming.”
“I didn’t
think I’d see a day when you don’t want any attention. What’s caused this
change?”
“Hey, I
only want attention when I’m on the ice! You know I’m actually not that big a
fan of large crowds. Besides… I really don’t want the media attention on us…”
“Oh,
because she’s coming? I can already
see the headline: ‘famous hockey player and figure skater hitting it off’. That
will make some wonderful news, my brother.”
“Al,
please! I’m getting tired of your shit.”
