Chapter one: It hurts.
Winry opened the window and climbed to the top of the roof. She struggled to pull herself up but she managed it. She sat down near the edge of the roof. The moon was shining high and bright, its moonlight washing over the land as it highlighted her pale skin — it was perfection to her big blue eyes. Her long blonde hair was dancing around her face as the wind blew by. She didn't mind that it was constantly whipping hair towards her face. She was alone but she managed to smile at the scenery around her, the trees slowly swaying with the wind. It was perfection to her.
Suddenly, time seemed to have stopped. She felt a shiver run down her spine, but she wasn't cold. She hugged her knees to her chest, laying her head on a jacket she that meant so much to her. Having it close to her heart brought back a memory.
Edward and Winry were walking towards the bus station. They both checked the times to find out when Edward's bus would come. A voice on the intercom announced, "The train heading east arriving in 20 minutes."
Winry saw a bench and went to sit down, Ed following right behind her. Winry was caught off guard when Edward suddenly jerked her back., He grabbed her and held her left hand. He took a big breath and said, "Winry, me and Al...We'll be separating. He's going West with Mei to learn Alkahestry at Xing. He's following his two chimera friends to learn how to bring their bodies back to normal without killing them. As for me," Ed paused to take another breath. "I'm heading off East. Roy Mustang said the people there don't know our story, and I will gladly tell our story: how we saved the world. Forever will our story be known as 'The Full Metal Alchemist Legend'. Also, go thank everybody for going through all these years with us trying to get our original bodies back. I have no use of going in the military; I don't belong there anymore." Ed said this last part with a heartbroken voice and regained his composure. He stared at the top of Winry's head, scared what her reaction would be.
Winry kept her head low. She was overwhelmed by his words, so she couldn't help herself. She shed tears on Edward's forearm, refusing to accept the fact that he was leaving her again. She kept her eyes closed, shaking her head while trying to figure out how to deal with this news. She felt the force of his words shattering her world as she kept repeating them in her mind, until finally she understood.
Her thoughts and feelings were all over the place. She was angry, upset, heartbroken. She gave him all she could ever offer to a man and he ripped it from her chest. She didn't know it would hurt so much.
She lifted her head up. All she could say was, "I'll miss you. Come home safely, please. Back to me..." She tried holding back more tears; she didn't want Ed seeing her cry again.
Edward knew she was hurting because he was leaving her alone again. She could wait other year, or even more if she had to.
Edward held her hand tightly, never wanting to let go. But he knew he had to. "I'll miss you so much, Winry. And I will come back, don't worry." He paused for a long moment. He hesitated before he spoke, his cheeks gradually taking the color of a tomato. "Um, Winry, I-I gotta tell you s-s-something."
"Yes, Edward?" Said the beautiful young woman. She stared into his golden eyes with her big blue ones. This time, she didn't want to look away. She wanted to feel the connection between them one last time. It was strong and felt so natural to them.
Ed pointed at Winry with great courage and pride. He didn't care if he looked stupid blushing like a weirdo. Finally, he said the magic words. "Winry Rockbell, I'll give you half of my life if you give me half of yours!" His heart was beating as fast as a race car, sweat dripping down his red face. All he wanted to do was bury his face in his hands; he was embarrassed. But turned shocked when he heard a hand slapping a face. Winry had forcefully brought her palm to her face.
"Oh, Edward Elric, you always think everything an equivalent exchange! I should just give you all of it!" She thought about what she had just said and started to blush. She became almost as red as Ed's jacket. She stuttered, " I-I mean, not all of it. Maybe 70%?—That's too low. 85%? Yeah, that's a good number." She nodded as she mumbled to herself.
Edward laughed so much he started to cry, clutching his stomach in a failed attempt to hold back his laughter.
"Haha! Winry, you are amazing." he pulled her close and hugged her tightly.
In the distance, a train could be heard. The same voice announced over the intercom, "All aboard to the East! Leaving in 5 minutes!" That made Winry cry so hard. She didn't want him to leave. He might never come back. She was thinking negative and it made her cry even harder. She buried her face deeply in Ed's jacket. Her tears had soaked into it. She glanced up at him, embarrassed.
"Oh, sorry. I got your jacket soaking wet from my tears." She sniffed.
"It's okay." he looked at her as he whipped her tears away with his thumb and kissed her cheek. "Winry, wait for me. I'll come back soon. It won't take 4 years, I promise you. Just stare at the moon whenever you think of me and I'll do the same when I think of you. It'll just be as if we were together." She nodded and kissed him on the cheek.
"Here," said Ed as he was shrugging of his coat. "Here's my jacket; it's getting cold."
"What about you? Won't you be cold?"
"I'll be fine." Edward smiled.
Finally, he boarded the train. He looked through the window and saw Winry, all smiles gone from her face. Already she was looking old, tired and depressed. She looked up at him and tried to smile, but he knew it was a fake smile. He knew that she was torn apart, her heart turned into pieces. It was a nightmare for this young girl but for Edward's sake, she smiled. So he smiled back.
The departure whistle blew, and Ed felt the tug of the train moving. He acted quickly: He put his hand on the glass window of the train and mouthed words to Winry. She read his lips saying 'Wait for me Winry one more time'. She laughed and waved, nodding her head furiously while the train was leaving until she finally mouthed back 'I will.'
She looked at the item in her hands. She held the jacket so tightly. 'I'll wait for you, Ed," She thought, hugging the jacket. "I'll wait for you one more time."
Looking up to the moon, Edward thought about what he last said to Winry: Just stare at the moon whenever you think of me and I'll do the when I think of you. It'll just be as if we were together. Every day, he took a midnight walk to clear his head and see the moon, just to get that feeling again. The moon was the only thing that brought him and Winry together while they were apart. Looking at it he could feel her warmness pressed against his body. When he closed his eyes under the moonlight, he could still smell her perfume and run his fingers through her perfect blonde hair. He could look into her pearly blue eyes and hear her laugh. But most of all, he could feel her in his heart.
Edward walked back to the hotel he's been living in for five months, now. He walked with his hands in his pockets, kicking rocks along the way. He felt so cold, alone, and unfulfilled, but he couldn't go home. Not yet.
All he could think was Winry, his darling Winry. He knew that Al was OK. He's protected. But Winry, she's alone. Hopefully, she could understand that he loved her so much, that he wished nothing more than to jump on the next train to her, get married, make a family, be happy—to finally be more than this bullshit he has put up with for four years. He needed to escape now more than ever.
He finally arrived at the hotel. The doorman greets Elric. He walked in, his head low like he was hiding something. He walked up the stairs so lightly you couldn't hear his footsteps. He unlocked his door. Once safely inside the room, he put his right hand into his pockets and pulled out a picture. A picture of Winry. He sat on his bed and looked at the picture.
"Oh God, how I miss you."
He put the picture next to his pillow. He loosened his long blond ponytail and let it fall around his shoulder. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep.
2 hours later.
"W-w-inry winry! WINRY!" the startled boy woke up from a nightmare. He brought his hands to his face drenched in sweat. In his dream, he saw Winry crying herself to sleep. It made him so mad but so sad. He distasted seeing her so depressed because every time it felt like it was his fault, her being unprotected.
He didn't know how, but he knew something was wrong. But what? It was as if she was calling out to him.
Edward lied back down and cried himself to sleep.
"It hurts." he wailed.
