Yes, I realize this is somewhat late, but the idea was cute.

Enjoy!

Dress Up

Winry grinned as she put on her "authentic" Edward Elric costume. It was Halloween, and the idea had struck at the last minute.

She couldn't wait to see her husband's face when he came back from the store. She'd gone all out. She found his Alchemic red cloak in the closet, with his navy, sleeveless shirt and his black leather pants along with it. His black jacket with the white lining looked weird on her, so she opted for his other dress option. The pants were a tight fit, but she looked damn good in them. She'd even snapped on his white alchemy gloves and his clunky, black boots.

Next, she'd thickly braided her hair and parted her bangs down the center, using gel to spike one stand straight up in the air. She'd laughed her butt off at that. Since contacts—these clear circles you put in your eye that supposedly changes their color—were too expensive, she decided painting the backs of her eyelids was the next best thing.

The door slammed shut and waves of excitement coursed through her body. She just could not wait!

"Winry! They didn't have any of that special grease you requested!" Edward yelled from downstairs.

"That's okay! I plan on being out tonight anyway!" She called from their room, squishing herself behind the open door. She could hear her husband's obnoxious groan from the kitchen where he dumped all the groceries on the island.

"Tell me you're not partaking in this dumb holiday?" He asked, stomping up the stairs like he always did.

"Of course! And I have the perfect costume!"

Winry bounded out of her hiding place and stopped right in front of Edward. Stunned could not better describe her husband's reaction. He guffawed, bending over trying to breathe around his hearty laughter.

"If that's the case," he recovered with an evil grin, "then I'm dressing up as Winry Elric!"

"Oh no you're not!"

"Let's see if you still have that blue skirt."

"Don't you dare!" She laughed loudly, chasing her husband around the bedroom and down the stairs once he had her favorite skirt in his grip.


So, I didn't know whether I should have had him threaten to dress up as Winry or be already dressed up, thus killing Winry's surprise. I figured that would be too non-Edward, even for FanFiction.
