A/N : A little drabble I wrote for English (30 min free write). Based off the latest FMA Brotherhood episode. Enjoy!

Edit (9/24/09) : I've decided to continue this fic by writing about other characters under the prompt "waiting". HOWEVER, I have decided to keep the status of this story as COMPLETE, because I don't know how long this is going to be. I could abruptly stop it at any point, any time. There could be no warning and there could be plenty. It will end when it will end. SO, if you want to stay up to date with this fic, add me to Author Alert! I do ensure you, though, that there will be at least six more chapters, if not more.

As Winry turned around and stared at the retreating form of Ed, she thought to herself, Oh. A pause. I guess I've fallen in love with Ed.

And Ed was an idiot, really. Making false promises that he couldn't even keep. Stupid Ed. "The next time you cry, they'll be tears of joy, because that's when we'll get our bodies back!"

Winry leaned back on the wooden seat of the train as it began to pull away from the station, settling herself in for the long trip as a tear rolled down her cheek. Liar.

When had she fallen in love with him?

Minutes ticked by with the steady rumble of the metal wheels hitting steel rails, creating a soothing, almost normal and welcoming sound. She placed her elbow on the windowsill and leaned her chin on her open palm, sighing quietly.

She loved Ed.

And there was nothing she could do about it.

He would never love her back. This she knew for a fact.

Why?

Because... she could just tell. In his eyes, in his heart, she would always just be that friend. That sister. That support.

Because as their best childhood friend, their sister, their support, their home...

Winry was doomed to wait. Because that was her duty.

But it was okay. She was used to waiting. She'd wait forever for Ed, forever patient.

Because she loved him. And not even time would be able to deteriorate her feelings for him.

And so she would wait until the end of time for her love to come back to her.
