More Than Friends?
I do not own FMA and never will . This is my first fanfic so go easy on me with the reviews pleeez!
Ed looked out of the train window thinking of how he was to tell Winry of how he had managed to destroy his arm this time.
FLASHBACKEd turned the corner out of breath from running away from the bandits that wished to kill him. "This cannot be possible. They are after me just for fun. Well isn't that ironic. See now if I had Al here that wouldn't be after me. There are some advantages to having a suit of armor for a brother."
"Where did that pipsqueak go to now? Here little one, little one, little one. All we want his to experiment with your body parts. We promise that it will only hurt for a minute." Ed could here the bastards coming closer. If they hadn't have taken a hammer to his arm then he could transmute them into something gruesome. Ed decided to do something he had never done before. He was gonna run away like a scared little dog with his tail between his legs.
As soon as Ed got back to the hotel that he and his brother were staying in he ran up to their room, told Al what happened and that he was going to leave in the morning for Resimbool to get Winry to fix his arm. Al knew that they were scraped for money so he told his brother that he should travel alone. Ed rested until morning rolled around and he got up to leave. Al saw him to the train and wished him a safe trip. Ed said goodbye and left.
END FLASHBACK"Next stop Resimbool!" Ed got his things together and when the train came to a stop in Resimbool he departed the train and made a way for his adopted home.
Winry was still sleeping when she heard Aunt Pinako down stairs talking to what seemed like a young man. It didn't take her long to figure out exactly who the young man was. She hurridly got dressed and rushed downstairs to greet her long time friends.
Unfortunately when she got down stairs she was no longer that happy to see Ed as she had expected to be. "Edward Elric! What in the world happened to your arm. You couldn't have destroyed that automail that quickly! I can't believe you! You're impossible!"
"Well nice to see you too Winry. Long time no see. I can assure you that this time I wasn't looking for trouble when this happened."
"Sure whatever you say." Winry couldn't stay mad at Ed for long. Then out of nowhere she gave him a big hug that he did not expect but gladly returned. "I missed you too." When she let go of Ed to let him breath she noticed that someone was missing from their group. "Ed. Where's Al?"
"He had to stay back this time because you know that train tickets cost a bit more that pocket change and lint. I wish that he could have come too but it would have really put a dent into our budget. There's always next time though."
"Oh well. At least it's nice to see one of you boys. It's been so long," Aunt Pinako said after about five minutes of silence and a couple of puffs on her pipe.
"Yeah I guess. So do you two think that you could work your magic one more time for me so I can use my right arm again?" Winry just smiled and nodded her head.
"Until your arm is fixed I guess that you will just have to stay here and relax while you have the chance." Aunt Pinako took out her measuring tape and started to measure his left arm for length while Winry replaced his left arm with a temporary replacement. After they finished, Aunt Pinako told Ed to go take a shower because he reeked of filthy garbage and bad body odor. All Ed could do was laugh. Ed removed his tank top, threw it on his bag, grabbed a towel, and headed for the shower. Winry just stared at Ed and noticed how handsome he had gotten over the years he had been gone. He noticed her goggling at him and he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Winry quickly averted her gaze to the floor. "Oh sorry. Nothing's wrong."
Ed thought nothing of it and went to take his shower. Winry sat on the chair in the living room thinking about the things she had just noticed. She had always known that she had feelings for Ed but she never thought about him like that. Could things be different for the both of them now that they were older?
While Ed was cleaning himself with his good hand he thought about Winry. He knew damn well that he thought about her as more than just as a friend. What he didn't know is whether she felt the same or not. I wish that I could just tell her how I feel but it's so hard for me to get things out into words. I'm so much better with action. Maybe I could do something to show her how I feel about her. I love her more than I've ever loved anyone in my entire life. Everything about her is amazing. The way she walks, talks, and even the way she dresses makes my heart race. I've made my mind up. I'm going to do something to let her know exactly how I feel. I just have to figure out how I'm going to do it first. Ed turned off the water and dried off. He put on some clean clothes then went to his room to his room to put away his things. After he finished he sat down on the bed and stared at the floor.
Winry walked past his room and saw that he looked kind of depressed. She walked in and sat on the edge of the bed next to him. He didn't even acknowledge that she had walked into the room. "Ed is there something bugging you because you can tell me you know. We're best friends."
Ed lifted up his head and looked directly into Winry's eyes. She was startled by how beautiful his eyes were. Ed knew that this was the moment that he needed. Winry looked away not being able to look at him in the eyes for very long. A sudden rush of emotion flooded her as she thought about what to do next. Then she felt a hand on her chin that brought her eyes to meet his. She looked deep into his eyes. She lost herself without even knowing it. He then kissed her gently and without warning on the lips. Winry, shocked, pulled away. She looked at him surprised. Winry got up slowly and without even a second look back at Ed, left the room. She walked slowly to her room and sat down on her bed trying to comprehend what had just happened. He kissed me. Why did he kiss me? Does he really think of me as more than just a friend? Do I think of him as more than just a friend? There are so many emotions going through me right now that I don't know what to think. I just know that I need to think things over before things get out of hand.
Meanwhile Ed is so stunned that he hasn't moved an inch since Winry just got up and left the room. What have I done? Now she's going to hate me. I just know it. She's never going to talk to me again. I just ruined a really good friendship in less than 2 minutes. How could I be so stupid? I should have been able to tell that she doesn't like me the way that I love her. Why did I have to go and do that? Ed felt out of place being in the same house with her. So he decided to go and visit his mother's grave. "Aunt Pinako, I'll be back in a little bit I just need to get some fresh air and maybe visit a couple of places. I won't be gone long." Ed grabbed his coat and went to walk out of the door but Aunt Pinako stopped him by saying, "She does care for you Edward. She's just never had any real experience with boys so you need to give her time." Aunt Pinako never did lift her head up from her work.
"Thanks. I'll make sure that I'm back by supper time." With that, Ed left the house.
Well what did you all think? Sorry it was so short this is my first. I will post another chapter next week so hold tight. PLEEEEEEEEEEZZZ REVIEW!
