"What are you doing out in the cold, Win?" Ed's unexpected voice rang in Winry's ears, sending shivers down her spine, making her gasp in surprise. Where did he come from?

"Just needed some fresh air..." She tried to sound casual so he wouldn't guess that she was actually upset.

"Yeah right, fresh air in this freezing breeze?" Ed grinned at her, obviously teasing, not picking up the uncertainty in her voice.

"Just leave me alone Ed!" Winry knew that what she asked for was useless, but she had to try.

After all he was the source of her all uncertainty, and he was the reason she was now standing in this cold weather unable to think of anything else. But, the man standing next to her was so oblivious to her burning feelings, the aching she has to feel his touch and most of all the love she held deep inside for him. If he only knew!

"What the fuck Win?!" Ed yelled at her, annoyed by her tone and what she had asked of him. Of course he can't just leave her alone like this to freeze to death! And what the hell was she so upset about? Women!

And the few moments of unbearable awkward silence filled the air between the two of them, felt like hours, even days.

"What's wrong Winry?" Ed's unusually calm voice, that somehow soothed Winry's inner self, was now filling the air. This was very unusual of Ed, to calm down so fast after being on the verge of killing someone, which told Winry that something was wrong.

A storm was about to be witnessed by the two, and only God knew that she wasn't at all near prepared to such a storm. She was so weak.

In fact just one glance of his golden eyes into her ocean blue ones and Winry was damnsure that she would crack and make the biggest mistake of her life. She might lose it and her lips might slip, and the perfectly hidden truth would be found out. He would find out that she loved him.

"Sorry Ed. I'm just a little busted up from pulling all-nighters 3 days in a row to fix your auto-mail, that's all…" Winry said all in one breath, trying to hide the cracking in her voice.

"You're a rotten liar Win. You know that right?"

Winry kept her head down and breathed, inhaling the cold air, trying to calm her self down, but it didn't work.

Ed glared at Winry for a long moment; the darkness of the night muted the brilliance of his golden eyes.

"Why are you even bothering yourself with my issues? You're leaving soon anyway." Her words were a statement of a fact, not question.

Ed's expression slowly melted from semi-calm to anger, and he opened his mouth several times, trying to find some words. Only, for some huff of cold air to escape his lips, which made Winry even more hot on the inside, wanting desperately to catch his lips with hers, to taste them, to explore his mouth roughly, but she, as always, just kept dreaming, never daring to actually wish for such a bless.

Since words didn't seem to match what Ed wanted to express for Winry, he moved towards where she was standing. He slid over to Winry and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, he then pulled her close against his chest, she could feel his breath go in and out, still more ragged than normal.

It felt very strange to her, sure they hugged all the time, but this time somehow was different, as if some of his anger had transported through the hug to her body, now flowing within her body, making her feel so confused.

She felt a kind of hope, a sparkle of light; she dared to have her hopes up.

Then she snapped out of her slumber. He's leaving soon, and he might not come back. How was she supposed to dream of being with him when he is so determinated on abandoning her like always?

Winry shook her head frantically, making it throb in pain, yelling, "NO!"

She tried then to pull away from him, but Ed only tightened his grip. She just felt upset; at her self mainly. Such a simple hug that maybe meant to be nothing more than a friendly embrace was able to send her off balance like this so easily, to cause her so much emotion, while was he was standing all mighty, not affected at all. But she wasn't ready to lose for him, not any time soon.

Winry pushed away from Ed, this time he let her go, much to her disappointment. I wanted this, right?

"NO, Ed! No, you're not doing this to me anymore! I am not a doll you can play with when ever you want. I am a human being for goodness sake, with real feelings, and you're hurting me with this shit Ed. You're the worst!" And with that Winry sprang fast, her legs move at a speed she never knew was possible…maybe it was just fear pushing them forward.

He always played with her feelings like that; leaving her like a broken doll every time he left, letting time mend her wounds, only to be reopened by him, every time he showed up again.

But this time Winry had had enough. Her heart couldn't handle any more of his shit. She refused to be taken away by his charm this time; at least she would try her best.

And what really hurt her most was that he was too dense, so oblivious to the blinding truth; that every touch they shared always meant a lot to her, and she was so certain that he didn't even notice the brush of their hands in the first place.

As Winry ran for her life, she wished he would follow her, run after her and catch her, but as she was so certain. He didn't.

The blonde female managed to reach the house after tripping many times through the process, and managed to reach her room, stumbling to her bed.

Her feet barely supported her as she fell face down on the sheets, her tears soaking them wet, her muffled cries filling her room, and his face never leaving her mind as she cried her heart out.

But she was glad somehow, that she never cried again in front of him, after the promise he made to her, that the next time she'll shed tears will be at the sight of them, flesh and blood.

And so she carried the heavy burden on her shoulders as always.

Ed was left out there, trying to understand what happened to his best friend. What had he done this time? Why was it that everybody around him always suffered? Was he that awful?

And how the hell exactly was he hurting her? Wasn't he so determined to protect her by staying away, by leaving her shut out of his so dangerous life, was his suffering not enough that everybody around him had to suffer along causing him so unbearable pain? There was so much pain for his heart to endure. Her suffering caused a huge amount of it because she meant so much to him.
