It was 4am and everyone was asleep except for Ed. "Why did I have that last drink?" he mumbled into the darkness cursing nature for its waking call. "Its 4am I should be sleeping." He groaned. Ed growled quietly as he removed himself from his bedcovers that had somehow become tangled around his legs and headed to the bathroom.
After he had finished his business in the bathroom, which involved nearly falling asleep at the sink, Ed left the bathroom with a stretch. "Time to get back to bed for some much needed…" a light from the kitchen caught his attention. "Who is up at this hour?" curiosity won over tiredness and Ed quietly headed to the kitchen.
He looked through the slightly open doorway and saw Winry on one of the chairs with her back to the door. "What is she up to?" Ed quietly opened the door and walked up behind his unsuspecting childhood friend.
Ed placed his hand on Winry's shoulder, which made the mechanic choke on whatever she was eating and nearly drop her mug. She spun around to shout at her 'attacker' but stopped when she saw who it was. "Ed! You scared me!" she whined as Ed took a seat next to her with a chuckle.
"Sorry about that Winry. I thought you would have heard me." Winry pouted and wiped at the tea that had spilled onto her pyjama top. "What are you up to at this hour anyway?" Ed asked. At hearing the question, Winry's pout disappeared and was replaced with an eager, happy look. "I'm having chocolate and tea!" she said enthusiastically which earned her a confused look from Ed. "Chocolate and tea? At this time?" Ed inquired.
Winry nodded eagerly, "It's how I keep myself awake when I'm pulling an all-nighter. Watch this!" Winry pulled the wrapper further down on her chocolate bar exposing more the sugary goodness and held up her mug for Ed to see.
What she done next, both surprised and confused Ed. Winry put the end of the chocolate bar into her mug of tea. "Winry, what are you doing?" Ed asked looking bewildered. "Just watch!" Winry said as she concentrated on the chocolate. Once she was satisfied, she removed the chocolate from the tea and gently shook off the excess, before happily sucking at the now melting chocolate.
Ed could only stare as Winry sucked on the chocolate bar before her pink tongue started licking the still melting chocolate off of the bar. He gulped and tried to divert his eyes to anywhere apart from Winry's mouth. Winry chuckled happily to herself, completely oblivious to Ed's sudden discomfort as she put the end of the chocolate bar back into the tea with a smile.
"Why didn't you just make hot chocolate instead of doing…that?!" Ed asked as his arms flailed and Winry starting licking the melted chocolate off of the bar again. "This way is much more fun!" Winry replied with a smile. Ed continued to stare at Winry as her tongue continued to dart out of her mouth to lick the melting chocolate. He felt himself lick his own lips as he stared.
Ed's eyes widened as a smudge of chocolate remained on Winry's lips that she didn't seem to notice. Before he realised what he was doing, he took the mug from Winry's hand and placed it onto the table. Winry gave him an adorably confused look before Ed covered her lips with his own. Winry froze at the sudden contact but was in no way unpleased about it. She felt Ed's tongue lick the corner of her mouth before he pulled away and sat back down.
"There was some chocolate on your lips." Ed muttered, as the ground suddenly became the most interesting thing in the world to him. Winry smiled and quickly smeared some more chocolate on her lips before lifting Ed's head gently. "I think you go better with chocolate than tea does." She said with a grin as she leaned in and close the distance between them.
