Hello, dear FanFiction readers! I'm finally back, after my long hiatus, but I'm glad to be here. This is my first FMA story to go up (I think, I've written a few so I can't remember which ones I posted :) ) and one of my few drabbles…
And to all my loyal "Awake" readers who are reading this via Author Alert…..I'm sorry I haven't updated. I'll try to wrap it up somehow.
Anywho, on to the short story!

Everything could be explained by science.
That was the motto Edward Elric lived by—survived on even. Everything had a purpose, a reason as to why it worked the way it did.
Plants could grow without eating due to photosynthesis. A scientific equation could explain that. Why the sun rose and set—science. Rain turning into snow, fire making ashes, bread rising…
It was all easily explained. Through math and science, Ed could figure out anything.
And yet…there was one thing he couldn't explain. Something that followed no laws, or theories, or equations. One thing in the whole universe that was so irrational that not even the Full Metal Alchemist could figure out.
Love.
He had no idea why his heart beat so much faster when he saw her. Why his palms got clammy and his stomach tingled when her hand accidentally brushed his. There was no reasonable explanation for why his brain just stopped functioning and he made himself look like and idiot around her. And when they were apart, why he felt like dying made absolutely no sense. She visited every dream, every thought Ed had.
He couldn't explain love, and that was what drove him crazy.
But when Ed and Winry Rockbell's lips met, a bolt of electricity shot down to his very core. And for just a second, Ed could forget about science and trying to figure out why he loved Winry, and just enjoy the moment while it lasted.
