I remember the day those feelings sparked. October 11th of the tenth year. I went to go return the gas can to Winry's house after.....
I told Granny Pinako I would write and come in for maintinance when I needed it, told Winry that I would take care of my arm and never need to come back unless it was to visit, and scratched Din behind the ears and told him he was the one thing I would miss the most.
I picked up my suitcase and followed Alphonse out of the door, glancing at the photo of my family, Father holding me with a stern face, Al clinging to mother for dear life, and her with a smile.... a smile that we just wanted to bring back. A smile that is the reason me and Al are walking out of this door now.
Suddenly, I felt a pair of arms hug around my middle. I looked back and saw Winry looking back at me, tears in her eyes.
I smiled. "Why the long face, I wont be gone long. I'll be back soon, giving you back this arm you made."
"And I'll come in through the door smiling and say "I'm hungry!" like I used to everyday, Winry." Al said.
She shook her head. "But, but there's a chance you might not right? You said a lot of people would want that Professors Rock, or whatever its called. And the last two people who told me they would come back, they came back in a box! I dont want you to be like Mama and Papa. Can't you guys just stay like that, for me?"
I took her arms from around me, turning around and looked her in the eye.
"We will come back. Nothing is going to stop us from getting our bodies back. I promise the only time I'll come to you in a box is when I cant afford a train and will have to mail my self home." I said with a smile. It was now that I reliezed how close our faces were. "Promise."
Next thing I knew, her lips were against mine, he arms around my neck. For the next few moments, it seemed as though the world had stopped for just the two of us. And then it end, and she turned around, waved, and said." Well, you guys should get going, before you miss your train and I have to hear Ed's snoring for another night." And then she ran up the stairs before either of us could reply.
I blinked twice, and then walked out of the door, behind Al, lost in my own thoughts. Just before we got the fence, I looked back and saw Winry leaning against the second story blancony , watching us. Our eyes met for an instant, and I didnt know what to do, so I put on a big grin and gave her the thumbs up.
Me and Al acted as though those last 5 minutes never happened.

A/N: Well, my first FMA fanfic. Maybe my last one,too. This one was really spur of the moment. I think I had about ten minutes to write it after I finished watching EP5 of Brotherhood. I just had an idea of Winry kissin Ed before he left, and went from there. I have an idea for a second chapter, but I really go by popular demand before I actually write one.
PS: And to thosewho are patiently waiting for an update to that Bleach fanfic I've been writing............................................................. I dunno what to do next without ripping off the manga so its gonna be awhile.
