Chapter 1:

It was a dark gloomy day when Ed returned to Resembool for his automail repairs. He had told Al to stay with Izumi for a few days to get used to his new body. The trip took hours and with all the rain it slowed things down even more. Finally Ed arrived to the familiar house he now called home.

He walked up the steps and knocked on the door. No answer. He tried again with more force and still he didn't get an answer. With one last attempted of knocking with his damaged automail arm he smacked the door as hard as he could and ended up shattering his arm and breaking the door to bits of wood.

"Crap!" Ed let out a loud scream as he clenched his broken arm. Suddenly from behind he felt a large metal object hit the back of his head, knocking him over. Great... Ed thought to himself. I going to be yelled at for breaking the door, and not only that but, I think she finally broke my skull!

Winry came running up behind him and grabbed her wrench. "You idiot! Why did you have to go and do that!" She to ed's surprise was crying. "Jeez it was only a door" Ed sarcastically said. "You... Could have hurt yourself..." She put her groceries down.

"Look I said I was s- excuse me?" Ed said with a puzzled look on his face. Is she worried about me! "I'm sorry I hit you with a wrench... Winry rubbed his head." Lucky your so short or I couldn't rub your head." She started laughing. "Hey! Who are you calling a pipsqueak!" Ed started yelling.

Ed's P.O.V.

When we went inside I was still perplexed by what Winry said. Ever since Pinako moved out of the house, Winry has become much more independent and maybe she had... feelings for me. I nearly punched myself right in the head for thinking such a stupid thought. Even though I had feelings for her didn't mean she did too. I punched myself in the head that time and was outraged by my ridiculous idea. Feelings for Winry! Please. My thoughts were broken however when Winry asked me to help put away the groceries she bought. On my way over to the cabinets she walked past me and "accidently" nudged my leg. My face turned red and my palm grew warm. I didn't know what feelings I was feeling.

"Oops sorry." Winry said. She had to smile at me too. That beautiful smile that just embaressed the hell out of eyes of soft blue and her great fragrance... "Excuse me Winry" I said and ran to the upstairs bathroom.

Winry's P.O.V.

I finished putting away the groceries and heard Ed getting upstairs. I really don't know what, but lately I've been feeling very strangely toward Ed. I don't what feelings i'm feeling anymore. I had to admit it to myself I Had a bad crush on Ed... Maybe I even love him.

Suddenly I heard a loud yell come from upstairs.

Ed's P.O.V.

After my beating and screaming I finally went down stairs again. All those things I thought about just pissed me off until I punched myself. When I arrived downstairs I saw Winry had a tool kit out and was ready to work.

"What was all that screaming about up there?" She asked me. Did I make that much noise? "Uhh...Nothing!" I gave a smile and sat down in the chair. Half way through the process the lights began to dim until they finally were gone.

"Jeez I can't work on you anymore if the lights are out! She walked over to the window. "Wow it's pouring out there! And it's dark too. Ed get the candles please I still need to make dinner." She said to me. It's dark, It's cold, She's making dinner and we are going to eat under candle light! Ok...No need to panic. Ok, Yes need to panic! I quickly sat myself and waited for dinner. How can I think it... Why am I? I need some air... But all the Damn air is outside and it's pouring out there! I am worried.

"Here we are! Breasted chicken served with Rice." Winry put some on my plate and sat down with her plate. We mostly sat in silence except for the occasional 'More Please' or 'Wow this is delicious'. Finally when we were done I offered to wash the plates. "I got it Win" I said. "Thank you Ed. I'll go get our bed made up." She said. Wait did she say Our bed? Oh no that's right she doesn't have a guest bed anymore since Pinako took it. "Ahhh!" I yelled out loud. "What's wrong Ed!" She asked with concern. "Oh nothing I just burned my thumb on the hot water." I lied. She nodded and went upstairs.

My teeth started chattering and my nervousness increased when she said to come on. I came upstairs slowly thinking, why can't I have a crush on Winry? She's my best friend and I've known her forever... I reached the top of the stairs and went to Winry's room. There she was waiting in her pajamas and had her hand on my spot I layed down and went to sleep. I waited until she fell asleep before I calmed down and started to relax. Next thing I knew she was sleeping on my shoulder. I nearly flipped her off of me, but instead I wrapped my arm around her head and fell asleep. "Good night Winry" I wispered

In the morning I got my automail all finished up and I was having breakfast before I left. Me and her talked and she seemed sad to have me go. I stood up and went to the door. She followed after me. "Well come visit again Ed. It was nice having you here." Winry said nearly in tears. "Winry..." I turned around and came in close and kissed her. At first I thought she was going to beat my brains out, but she realxed and kissed back. Finally after what seemed like and eternity, I said goodbye and promised that I would be back. Her final words were "I can finally admit that I love you." She smiled. Her words were chilling, but I finally agreed that I did too and said it back to her. So as I walked down that so very familiar path and walked up to the train station, I realized that what I felt were feelings of love.
