Author's Note: Ok, so, I'm back again. Sorry for me not being back for a while, since 1, I've been like soooooo busy with school work…trying to raise my Ds and Fs to Cs and Bs and maybe even As… and from being pummeled with homework, and dealing with some friendship troubles… and the pain I had to go through after giving up on the two people, that mean so much to me, but weren't really meant for me to be with….
So, yeah! :D I'm back, and since this is all… "Noël-y" I decided to release this… on none other than, Christmas! :D So, I hope you enjoy~
And a note to ya, it's a two shot, but, both parts are soo short! :D ..Just to warn ya…ahead of time…ya know? :D
Disclaimer: Ok, I don't own Ed OR Winry. So, let it go please! It's Christmas/ Christmas eve, so, like, be nice, and don't kill me, k? kthnxbai~
NOW ON WITH THE STORY! :D while I attempt to dance to this really random song. :D
12/24
It's been weeks… No… Not even weeks… Months since I've last seen him. I knew he was off on some military type thing, but still! He could call me… Like every week or something to reassure me he's ok! Besides, it's better than calling every few months or so…
I wandered over to a frosted over window, and attempted to make a little spot in which I could look out to, thinking it was only fog. Needless to say, I failed. But, I still managed to get a bit of it off. I peered out of my little spot. Tiny white flakes fell from the dark, star covered sky and landed on the frosted landscape. A slight sigh escaped my mouth as I walked away and slouched down onto a near by couch. It's great that there will be another white Christmas again this year… but, it sorta sucks knowing that he won't be here to share it with me… I thought, quite sadly as I ran a hand through my hair.
A faint noise came from the other room. I averted my gaze in its general direction, wondering what it could've been. Just when I was about to shrug it off as nothing important, the noise got louder and much clearer. The phone was ringing.
I stayed in my spot, disregarding it. What if it's him? I looked over there again, waiting for another ring. It came again. I dashed towards the phone and picked it up.
"Hello…?" I asked, unsure of who it could've been.
"Hey Winry..." The voice on the other end replied cheerfully with hints of concern, and unsure-ness.
My eyes grew wide. It was "Edward!" I exclaimed happily.
"How are things back in Resembool?"
"Same as always." I said with a smile as I walked back into the living room. I sat down on the rug in front of a cozy fire place, and almost immediately, Den came and snuggled up against me. I couldn't help but to pet his head. "How are things in…?"
"Xing right now." He finished for me. " We have to investigate this…Rentanjutsu…? Or something of the sort…"
"Oh…" I sounded a bit disappointed.
Silence filled the air.
"Well… I called to tell you, I won't be back in time for Christmas… So… I'm sorry…"
I let out a disappointed sigh. "A million words would not bring you back, I know because I tried. Neither would a million tears, I know because I've cried. But…" I thought for a moment. "We may be far away... But our friendship remains true... I just wanted to say... I miss you!" The last three words sounded kind of desperate.
"I miss you too."
"I…. I want you to come back! I can't wait any longer! I've waited 9 whole months! Please… Edward…" I cried, after a failed attempt to hold those words back.
"Shh…" I could tell he had a reassuring smile on his face. But then, I could tell it disappeared just as soon as it appeared. "Certain things are just worth waiting for… And this is one of those things…" And with that, he hung up before I could say goodbye.
That was all it took. I dropped the phone and cried. I wanted him to come back, and yet, he told me to wait. I knew I had to wait, but why did this have to be one of the things worth waiting for!?
After I finally managed to get myself together, I slowly stood up. I turned the lights off on the Christmas tree, and put the fire out in the fire place. Once it was done, I slowly walked up the stairs, and retreated to bed with Den at my heels, with hopes, that maybe tomorrow, no matter how lame, bleak, or depressing it may be, would be better… Much better, than today.
A/N: ok, so that was the first part of my awesome 2-shot~ :D How was it?
And just so you know, at that part where it says: Tiny white flakes… I wanted to put "Tiny white frosted flakes", xD but then I caught myself, and thought about how much of a misunderstanding you could get from it. Like, you know, the actual Kellogg's frosted flakes falling from the sky….? Ok, I have some really bad sense of humor, and amusement …. Ok, just… disregard it. :P
Anyways, wait till tomorrow till I release the next, and final part of Joyeux Noël.
Don't forget to R&R, and go to sleep so that Santa can come and stalk you! :D
Have a nice night peeps.
