A/N: Welcome, thanks for clicking that little link that brought you here.Enjoy.
Sakura Danielle Mitchells had lost someone very dear to her. She sat in her hospital bed, recalling the events and memories from then. She could bring him back, but it would mean breaking the ultimate rule: Human Transmutation. Her beloved Edward had died. Yes, the very same Edward who had became to be known as the Fullmetal Alchemist. Dani, Edward had called her, grew up on the farmlands in the outskirts of town, near the Elrics and their close family friends, the Rockbells. Dani had played alongside Winry, Edward, and Al when they all were young, and found to be in complete love with Edward. Dani sighed. She continued to stared out the hospital window at the rain, retelling her story to one of her fellow military personnel. Maes Hughes sat there, next to her, hanging onto every word.
Edward indeed liked Dani back, but it took a very long while for him to realize so. Dani and Edward spent their teenage years growing up at Central. After Edward and Alphonse had lost their mother, Dani, whose parents were killed a week afterwards by bandits, went along with them as they traveled to become state alchemist, in hopes to get theirbodies back. Danielle was completely fascinated with alchemy. She loved the prospects of it. Turning something that would be completely useless into something worth using. She wanted to help people with her alchemy. So she followed Ed and Al to Central to take the State Alchemist Exam. She passed the test, but not as well as Ed. She had become a part of the military. She used her abilities to help the military help the people.
Edward realized his love for Dani one lonely night, on the way back from a mission. They were traveling late one night, on the train, heading back to Central. Dani was sitting across from Edward and Al was in another seat, sprawled out, sleeping.
"Ever since he got his body back, that's all he's been doing." Ed spoke up. Dani looked up from a magazine she had been reading, nearly asleep herself and looked at Al.
"Yeah, but if you weren't able to sleep, feel emotions, remember anything, your soul trapped in a tin can and then suddenly got you body back with the abilities of sleep, touch, smell, taste, and enjoy the sensations from it, wouldn't the first thing you would do is sleep?" Dani said softly.
"Yeah, yeah, but he really is being a bum here lately. It gets annoying sometimes, no one to talk to.." Edward said.
"I'm here, you can always talk to me, Edward." she said looking at him. Edward saw something behind her eyes. He had known her for so long. Before he could even remember. And then her realized something...he loved Dani Mitchells.
Dani just watched Ed stare at her.
"Edward? What is it? Is there something on my face?" she asked. He answered with something that she hadn't expected. The lips met and as the parted they looked into each other's eyes.
"There's something I need to tell you, Dani. Something that I don't want to say because I'm scared to say it." he said, looking into her eyes.
"It's okay Edward. Don't be afraid." she said, moving closer to him.
"Dani, I..I.." but he was cut off by something unexpected.
A/N: First off, events have been pushed back, as Ed didn't go where he went at the end of the series. Al does have his body back, but Ed still has his auto mail. No reason, just because. I hope you enjoy this, and I ask that you give it time. My fics seem too start off slow. Thanks again, please review.
