Comfort
"Let her go" Edward screamed as he shot straight up in bed. He looked around the room momentarily dazed, he gazed around his surroundings and tried to calm down his rapidly beating heart. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and leaned forward placing his head between his knees to get rid of the nausea building in his stomach.
As soon as his stomach was settled he sat back up and put his head in his hands. He was startled by a knock at the door and his muscled jumped. HE did not look to see who had knocked he just said "I'm fine Al…" he turned to reassure his brother as the door opened.
"It's me Ed" Winry said. Ed's eyebrows raised in surprise to see the blond standing in his doorway. She entered the room slowly and made her way towards the bed. "Are you alright Ed? I heard you scream" she said as she sat down opposite him.
"It's nothing, go back to bed" Edwards replied as he stood up and began to move towards the window. He stared out of the window thinking about the nightmare he just had. He heard Winry get off the bed and assumed she was headed back to her room, when suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. He was about to tell her to go back to bed when she said "I'm alright" she lay her head between his shoulders and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Winry, I'm sorry. It's all my fault" he said as tears formed in his eyes. She lifted her head from his back and took a few steps so she could look him in the eye. She was surprised to see tears falling down his cheeks. She placed a hand on his cheek and wiped away a tear. He looked at her and placed his hand over hers. They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Ed slowly moved her hand so it lay on his shoulder and grabbed her other hand and did the same. She stepped closer to him and laced her fingers in his hair. He gently placed his hands on her hips. She gasped as she felt the coolness of his automail through her nightclothes.
"Winry" he whispered.
"Edward" she replied.
"Can you ever forgive me?" he asked as he leaned forward to place his forehead against hers. She replied by placing her lips against his. His eyes widened at feeling of her soft lips against his, his first instinct was to pull away, after all this was Winry his childhood friend, but instead he began to kiss her back.
Winry ended the kiss and smiled at him shyly, and in turn he smiled back. He raised his hand and traced his thumb over her lips. She let her hands fall from his shoulders and grabbed his left hand and led him to the bed. She lay down and motioned for him to lay next to her. He complied and she wrapped his arms around her body, he kissed her forehead and said "Get some sleep" she smiled and closed her eyes. He stared at her until her breathing evened out. When he was sure she was asleep he whispered "I'll keep you safe always" and with that he fell asleep.
