***
Winry’s about to pull yet another one-nighter on an automail she wants finished asap. Scieszka’s done trying to argue about that: Winry’s just so headstrong and bent on it, and won’t let Scieszka stay awake all night waiting on her either.
So before she heads to bed, Scieszka makes one last trip to Winry’s workshop, bringing her a cup of coffee—and a goodnight kiss.
At daybreak, a very weary Winry, satisfied with her job, still finds energy remaining to make Scieszka’s morning coffee, then crawls in bed with her. She wakes her with a kiss and promptly falls asleep.
***
Tea making is like cooking or baking. Winry does it with a scientific mind and adequate equipment: thermometer for the kettle, spoons to scoop the exact amount of leaves, timer for the infusion... while Scieszka does it roughly and by intuition, listening to the simmering water and watching the tea’s darkening colour.
Because it’s “only” tea, Winry lets her run wild, hoping she can’t ruin such simple a recipe, even with wide guesses. And because it is tea, a necessary brain fuel for hours and hours focused on her work when she can’t stomach coffee, Scieszka takes its making very seriously. Combining business with pleasure, teapot after teapot, she experiments until she gets the best possible tea.
