"Winry listen to me!" Ed yelled angrily. He reached out and grabbed her roughly by the shoulders. Perhaps more roughly than he had intended. His eyes flickered with concern before he stepped back, letting his hands fall from her slim shoulders. " You can't come with me this time! It's dangerous!. " The auto mail mechanic stared back at him stubbornly, tears in her eyes.
" You think you can just go off again and leave me here! Oh, I get it now! You just don't want me tagging along and annoying you. Or maybe is it that you think I'm weak, eh shrimpy!" Winry shouted.
" Who are you calling shrimpy! You're not going with me! All you'll do is whine about how all I care about is alchemy and how I don't listen to you and you'll probably fawn over every auto-mail equipped person we meet! You think I want to deal with that? I've got things to do and you'll just muck it all up!" His hands curled into fists at his sides. He knew he hurt her and it bothered him that he had said the things he said. Especially about her mucking things up. He liked it when she was with them, but this time she couldn't go. Envy had it in for him, him and no one else. It was obvious the homunculus had a special hatred for him to make his life a living hell. As if it wasn't bad enough already. The point was that he didn't want Winry hurt, or worse yet, dead. He had already almost lost his brother, and losing Winry? That would kill him. He couldn't risk it.
Winry felt her lower lip tremble and she straightened. How could he be such an ass? So mean?. There was anger in his eyes and she glared hard at him. The stupid idiot couldn't figure out how much she loved him. She knew he was afraid of loving , because everyone he had ever loved had died or had almost died. Al and their mother. Her parents were dead, but at least she had Pinako and Den. All he and Al had were each other and it seemed like everything and everyone in Amestris wanted to tear them apart. Their circumstances were entirely different.
"I'll muck things up huh? If that's how you feel then FINE! Don't ever come back you stupid ass! If I muck things up so bad and I'm so mean to you, find some other auto mail mechanic! I don't need you anyways!" She cried out and then turned on her heel and stalked across the living room to her bedroom door, slamming it loudly so that the wrenches and screws on the table rolled and shook.
She ran over to her bed and flopped down on it face first, shoving her face into the pillow. Tears rolled down her face. It wasn't fair. Why did she have to go blow possibly the last chance she would have to see Ed in a long time? What if it was the last time she ever saw him? He wasn't leaving until tomorrow morning but he probably wouldn't talk to her. Winry closed her eyes and rolled over onto her side, holding the pillow tightly to her chest.
