The Fullmetal Heart on a Ferris Wheel
A love story between Edward and Winry that they though was never possible. And it changed who they were. FOREVER.
Edward POV
3 years ago, on the night Al and I burned our house down, dismal rain fell from the sky. And then, ever so slightly, it rushed into a nightmare. On that dark stormy night the air reeked with wet mud and the regret that lied on the surface of my heart. The uncanny scent made my stomach twist and turn in agony. I wanted to fall to the ground where I could just pour my eyes out and weep for comfort, but I knew that would show weakness. Even though all this pain had been tearing me apart, I kept myself together for my brother's sake, because I knew weakness was the last thing my little brother Al needed to see. He was in a suit of armor, after all. He didn't need any more hurt.
The rain kept on pouring down for what seemed like an eternity to me. Each drop falling so hard that my clothes got wet holes in it all over. The sound of it bouncing off the ground was somehow soothing, though; like a waterfall. The windy wet rain went wider down the lane of my mind. It felt as if I could hope again; that it wasn't lost; that hope floated around the corner somewhere, somewhere within walking distance.
As the rain finally evaporated, and the very last drops trickled upon my face, my feet stayed glued where they stood. I stared at my ash reduced house, wide-eyed and ready to fall to pieces. Then, as my frighten heart pounded, and the very early sign of tears forming in my eyes came, Winry, who had been standing at the entry way to my house, ran over to embrace me in a tight hug, as though she felt my pain. She wrapped her arms around my neck while my arms were still dangling hopelessly at my sides. It seemed that she had already started crying because I heard a slight whimpering. I finally managed to rest my head on her shoulder after the astonishment and embarrassment went away.
"It'll be alright, Ed," she whispered to me, she meant the words for herself, too. "Because you know…" she said, speaking the words slowly, like making the moment more intense. And as the words escaped her lips, she tightened her grip around my neck, to the point where breathing was almost impossible. Her voice grew a devious twist to it also. "Ah…. Winry I can't… breathe," I hardly creped out. She finally let go of my neck but it was only for a split second because as soon as she let go, she quickly put her hands on my neck and lifted me off the ground. "That's the big idea, hahaha."
After struggling multiple times to break free of her grip, I gave up and tried my best to sneak a peek at the one lifting me up in agony. When I finally managed to open my eyes to look at her, her face sent a shudder down my spine; it was very unsightly and definitely not Winry's. This imperious person's – no- thing's eyes glowed a vivid red and the face so dark and twisted it was ugly. It was frightening. I couldn't help but feel so vulnerable and apprehensive that I wanted my mom to hug me safely. I wanted to be back home with my family. The evil creature kept laughing evilly at me as I shut my eye lids securely, tears pouring down my cheeks, hoping that this would all just disappear. Poof! - And it did.
