To say Winry was surprised was putting it simply. Not because of the fact she was towering over the form of Edward Elric; after all, she was used to looking down on him, until two months ago when he had finally hit a growth spurt.

To say he had grown was accurate.

To say he had grown a lot was pushing it.

He barely stood two inches above her, but it was enough for him to rub it in her face whenever he was presented the opportunity.

She was also used to seeing him on the ground. Always after he had said something insensitive yet again, and she had taught him his lesson…by crushing his skull in with a wrench.

But this time, there had been no mean comment, or any argument. He had simply stepped forward, and tripped on a rock hidden from view in the dirt. He had landed ungracefully on his backside. Edward's hands had flung out on either side, and revealed the small jewelry box he was clutching in his left hand.

With a face as red as the coat he normally wore, he quickly rose to his feet in an attempt to redeem himself.

Winry watched with wide eyes as he lowered himself onto one knee and presented her with a ring.

The young automail mechanic had once told the young alchemist that she would never marry someone shorter than her.

It was only two inches, but it was enough.


I FOUND OUT HOW TO MAKE A LINE BREAK!! Actually, someone told me how... So, anyway, you may have read this before. I decided to move two of my oneshots, Reality and Mere Inches, and combine them into a group of drabbles.

Like I said in the decription, these will basically be anything that pops into my head where Edward and Winry are the main characters. They won't always be EdXWin pairings, but since I do support that pairing a few (or a lot if I get better at romance writing) will be in that category.

If you don't like this pairing, then just read the other chapters. :)

Anyway, I might also do a group of drabbles that focus on Al and Winry or Riza and Roy or anything other two characters. Please review and tell me what I can improve on! Also, requests for different pairings and ideas are always welcome. (If I don't do them, sorry. Some may be ones I'm not comfortable with doing, like yaoi and yuri, and some may just be ones I can't write well.)

Well, I've talked long enough. Thanks for reading, and remember, it only takes three minutes to review! ;D
