sorry it took so long!!!! i had a billion things to do at school!! my school play just finished up, and now we have to strike (for those of you who don't know what that means, it means the period of time after the play where the cast and crew get rid of the stuff they don't need and break apart the props that could be used for other things and such) basically its cleanup. hope you enjoy!!
"Don't worry brother she probably just needs some time to come to terms with us being back. It was just a shock that's all." Alphonse's words echoed up to her bedroom where Winry now sat, back against the door, thinking hard.
What do I do? She wondered. I spent so long waiting for them to come back that I never thought about what i'd do when they did. How i'd react.
She lifts her head up off her knees. Why did I react like that? It couldn't have been because of-- NOOO. Not him. No way.
She puts her head back down. What do I do now?
A sharp rap at the door shook her out of her thoughts.
"WIn? It's me, Ed. Wanna talk?"
She jumped upright, scurrying around her room like mad, picking up scattered automail parts and clothes. "Um, hold on!"
In a minute flat, her room was spotless. She wiped a bead of sweat off her brow. Perfect.
She opened the door, taking a deep breath before she whisks it open, "Hi."
He smiles kindly, sending shivers up her spine. What the hell?? "Hi."
They stand in the doorframe awkwardly for a time.
"Um, are you gonna let me in or--?"
"Oh! Sorry!"
He walked in and gazed at her room in a mixture of shock and happiness
"Wow.. I remember this room being alot bigger."
She blushed, "Well, you are taller."
He grinned, "I am aren't I?"
She remained next to her bed, blushing.
He closed the door quietly and moved next to her, "Can I sit?" he asks, motioning towards the bed.
She nodded slowly.
"Why are you so uptight?" he asked, smiling. He patted the spot next to him on the bed playfully, "Sit down, stay awhile eh?"
She sat as far away from him as possible.
They sat in silence for awhile until they both couldn't take it.
"I missed you." they both say in unison. They both then turn away, blushing hard.
They turn back to each other and smile.
"Ed? What took you so long?"
He smiled, "I had to make sure that when we left we were leaving for good."
She looked away. Don't cry, don't cry...
Ed took a deep breath , walked closer to her, and pulled her into a warm embrace.
"I missed you alot Winry.", he whispered in her ear. "You never have to worry about us leaving again."
Her eyes welled up with tears, "You guys promise?"
He looked deeply into her eyes. He seemed to be looking into her very soul. "WIth all my heart. So does Al. We're a family, remember?"
He let go of her and turned to leave, but not before stopping by the door frame, "Quit being all wierd and come downstairs." he paused, grinning, "Automail freak."
"Why you-!!!!!!!!! Ed!!!!"
