Alright, ya'll! This is just a harmless/dramatic/very hard to write one-shot I came up with in my Creative Writing class. I made this trying to think of Ed would be a better friend than boyfriend... i love him as both, to be honest! :D So, please tell me how this is!
Disclaimer: Do not own it, ppl... If I did, do you know how happy I'd be?
The night before had been a night of pure fear and anguish for sixteen (16) year old Winry Rockbell. Sure, she'd just celebrated her Sweet Sixteen, but the young mechanic's night was more horrific than she'd hoped for.
Through the night, she could feel her throat close and sting with a scream she had yet to release, but her throat had not opened, and therefore had not let itself echo through the alley.
"Winry?" a boy's cry called from the streets. She picked her head up, her blonde hair stained with tears and her legs curling in fear. She could see the dried blood on her legs, and she wrapped her arms around her knees, protecting herself.
She was trembling when the boy with golden blonde hair reached her. In an act of immediate kindness, he swung his tank top off of his shoulders and gave it to her to slip on. She was bare, from head to toe. The only color he could see on her was the bright red from the blood.
"Winry! What happened!" he immediately flung himself to the ground and stared at nothing but the blood on her legs. She hadn't been cut or hit, but it was a more intense pain she had to be feeling. He couldn't even imagine…
"Ed, someone…" she gulped down every ounce of fear she could down her throat, and it stung again. Her voice was hoarse. She couldn't talk.
Edward Elric, a sixteen year old boy with the shortest temper in Amestris, sighed and let his face melt with regret. If only he had stayed with her and not ran off to chase after the boy who called her a whore. If only he had watched out for her, maybe he would have been able to prevent this…
"Someone hurt you, Win…" he was scared and angry, both feelings overlapping each other. His face paled and his golden eyes stared into her dull blue orbs, the colors vapid and emotionless.
She hadn't even begun to speak when the pain returned.
"Ahh!" she yelped in pain as she felt a sting surge through her midsection. She felt like she was going to explode, the pain was so intense. Winry hadn't noticed that she was being held, but she gripped the boys tan arms, squeezing when the pain decided to worsen.
"It hurts!" she screamed, her throat closing and opening, causing her to choke on the very words. He sighed and wrapped his arms around her, providing a safe barrier around her.
He was there, with her. Easing the pain in a tight, protective embrace.
He was there.
Okay, so how did that work? Did I fulfill my goal?
Tell me via review! Arigato!
