Okay so there is a spoiler here as to how the manga ends. read at your own risk. read and review.


Chapter 1: Doctor's appointment

Winry was not one to have time to care for her health. This went noticed all the time by her new boyfriend, who shares that same tendency to not care for his body.

"Winry, when was the last time you got a check up?"

"Umm, don't know; why Ed?"

Edward Elric stayed silent; he was getting a real bad feeling about this. She has to be healthy; she promised him her life, well 85% of it anyway.

"Because you look like you need one, that's why." he said sternly.

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN, YOU JERK!" she screeched.

Ed barely dodged the wretch that was coming his way, at a slower than normal pace. He was determined to get through to her though, so he took the opportunity to sit her down firmly in a chair.

"Winry, I'm serious." he pleaded.

"I feel fine Ed," she said quietly, "I'm happy with you."

At this, Ed sighed. He took note of her frail appearance for the 10th time since he got here. Her usually shiny, blonde hair was dull and damaged. Her body has gotten even thinner than it originally was. That frightened him the most. Her movements were slow and weak, she couldn't even throw her wrench fast enough to hit him! Her beautiful face was stricken with fatigue and bags. How long has it been since she slept? All this caused Ed's heart to yelp. He went on to list the things he noticed, which surprised Winry that he cared so much.

"C'mon Ed, of course I'll be tired! I've been working double since Garfiel went to his trip." she explained.

"Oh, don't give me that! Look at yourself! I'm not just gonna stand here while my girlfriend isn't healthy!" he yelled.

"I'm fine!" she retorted.

"Whatever, I've seen you doze off all over the place, stay up at ungodly hours, skip meals I work so hard to cook for you, and work like a damn mule since I got here!"

Ed had only been visiting her in Rush Valley after studying alchahestry in Xing. He promised he was coming back didn't he? Ever since he first laid eyes on Winry 3 weeks ago, he had been shocked. How can a person get smaller in 3 weeks? He was very excited since they confessed their feelings to each other at the train station, but now he's just worried.

"I've been working my fingers to the bone! What do you expect?" she blurted sleepily.

"I'm taking you to a Doctor; don't even think about arguing."

Winry was flabbergasted by Ed's sudden interest in her health. This was not supposed to be how their reunion would be. They were supposed to be happy as a new couple, but what does the alchemy nerd do? Worry about a stupid check up for her! She has been feeling a little off lately, very sluggish. Maybe he was right?

"Winry," Ed shook her.

Winry woke up, wait, she was sleeping?

"See! You are sleep deprived! You basically passed out on me!" he snapped.

Winry shook her head to rid her sleepiness, and looked down in shame. She should've known how Ed felt about her health, especially since he lost his mother to illness.

Ed saw that Winry was in shame and immediately soften towards her.

"Win; just go so that I can be able to make sure you're really okay. Please?" he cooed.

Winry nodded sulkily, she really hated too much attention. She chose to get over it however, and thought it would be best if she spent time with her one love.

"How about we go and get some veggies and rest?" she asked. Ed gave her a genuine smile.

"That's my girl." he said as he put a hand on the crown of her head.

"Hey Ed, I wanna thank you for caring about me so much."

"Of course! Do you know how much I -"

Winry cut him off with a kiss, and Ed gingerly kissed her back. They both felt like they can finally die happy.

After they pulled away, Winry was suddenly curious as to what he was going to say.

"Edo, what were you going to say?"

"Umm well that I, uh, love you. I also was worried in Xing about you. It's like I couldn't focus on anything else."

Winry giggled. He now felt how she felt all those years being worried for him.

"I love you too!"

Edward pecked her cheek, and then proceeded to carry her bridal style to sit on the kitchen counter. In the kitchen, Ed rummaged through the fridge and brought out some carrot sticks.

"You don't know how much I want to just take you with me to Xing, but you have to stay here and I would never allow you to cross the desert like that! I just want you safe, Win." he whispered.

"Don't worry Ed! I'm tough like my grandmother. I'll be fine!" she assured happily. At this, Edward hugged her to him.

"Now for some milk and carrots!" she cheered.

"Geez, I told you to eat healthy, not nasty!" he grimaced.

"Shut up! Milk was the reason I was so much taller than you!" she retorted.

"Oh, how the tables have turned," he said in a husky, low voice. He grabbed a carrot and fed it to her.

3 WEEKS AFTER
On the train, Ed was nervously tapping on the window sill. It had been 3 whole weeks since Winry had gone to the doctor's. It turns out that she was dehydrated, exhausted, and underfed. This made him extremely reluctant to leave her, but she practically kicked him out!

"Welcome to Rush Valley!" shouted the conductor.

Ed rushed off the train and began his search for his one and only love.

"Edward!" Winry shouted happily.

Ed spotted her in her regular work clothes, but this time she seemed much more radiant.

"Winry! How are you feeling? I missed you!"

"I'm great! I missed you too Ed!" she said as she gave him a shattering kiss.

Ed pulled away to look at her. Her hair was shiny, and vibrant. Her skin was tanned and glowing. In all, she looked healthy. Edward took happy note of all this, feeling great relief. He kissed her, and then took her hand and led her to Garfiel's shop.

Winry looked at Edward critically, she didn't like the way he yawn constantly. He looked tired and haggard. He hasn't shaven for days, and has been getting a little too pale. Has he taken care of himself?

"Hey Ed?" she said quietly.

"Yeah?" he drawled.

"When was the last time you got a check up?"
