"You let him treat you like that?"
Edward was steaming.
"Ed, he's an old guy. He isn't used to women's rights!"
"But he treats you like crap!" Edward argued.
"Don't defend her, boy!"
Edward turned on his heel to face the old man. His face was red with anger.
"Timmy, my boy, this is the whore I was telling you about." The old man said.
Winry had to jump to hold Edward back.
"Don't you ever call Winry a whore, damn it!" Edward seethed.
"And why not? It's true!"
The man was egging Edward on, knowing what made him angry. He smiled in satisfaction.
"Let me go! This bastard's getting on my last damn nerve!"
Winry held on tighter.
"I admit, the slut's pretty, but-" Tim said.
Winry was so startled by Tim's voice that she loosened her grip on Edward for a split second. That's all it took for Edward to seize his chance. He rushed Tim and pinned him to the wall.
"Take. That. Back. Now!" Edward yelled.
"Men defending bitches. What's this world come to?" Tim laughed.
"Get the fuck out now," Edward whispered in a dangerously low tone.
Edward released Tim, who left with his grandfather.
"Fine!" he yelled as he walked out the door, "We'll get our auto-mail elsewhere!"
"Go to hell!" Edward yelled after them.
"Ed…"
Edward turned to face Winry.
"Win, what the hell? You never let anyone talk to you like that. Why now?"
"Well,"
"Well what? There is no damn reason to let that happen!" Edward pulled Winry into a tight hug. "You know all those times I said you had no sex appeal? I lied. Win, you're the most beautiful person I've ever met." Ed rested his head on top of Winry's.
"You shouldn't let people talk to you like he did. I'm not gonna stand for it. Neither should you, alright?"
Winry pulled away from the hug and stared at Edward in shock.
"what's up with you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," he mumbled.
Edward turned away, but Winry grabbed Ed's wrist and pulled him around to face her.
"Yes you do."
Ed gently brushed Winry's hair out of her face.
"I hate when you're put down, okay? All you do is help people, you don't deserve it." Edward breathed in, "Winry, I-I love you, okay? I always have and always will, no matter how you feel."
"Do you really mean that?"
"Yeah, I could totally make that up. Seriously Winry. Who do you think you're dealing with? I don't know what took me so long to say that. Shoulda said it years ago."
Winry grinned.
"yeah. You should have."
Winry kissed Edward(A/N: I can't write these scenes well…) and when they broke, Ed stared at Winry in awe, speechless.
"Well, it's about time!"
Winry and Edward both blushed and turned to see Pinako, smoking her pipe.
"Granny!"
Pinako chuckled.
"Relax Winry. I'm fine with it as long as you two don't have sex on the table. People eat there, you know."
"Granny!"
