A/N: Definitely forgot where this one went until I was proofreading it this past weekend. That was an interesting surprise.


59. Study

It started innocently enough. It usually did. Al was home from school for a weekend, Ed was home from Central for repairs- home now being Rush Valley, since Winry only kept the house in Risembool for vacations and old times' sake.

Al was curled up with a book by the fireplace while Ed sat on a stool wearing only his boxers, playing guinea pig to some of Winry's brainstorms. She'd been trying different ways of wiring his arm for what felt like hours when he slumped onto his left fist.

"Aren't you done yet?" he whined, and Winry answered with a swift jerk on his nerve cables.

"Cut me some slack. None of my other clients can handle this much activity on their nerves without crying. I'm taking the chance to study while I can," she replied. "Besides, it's only been 20 minutes."

"Feels like hours," he moaned. Winry slammed her tools down on the table, rage radiating off of her.

"Well, Edward, what would the mighty Fullmetal rather do?" she asked, a deep angry edge in her voice.

Ed smirked, and in one fluid motion, he was off the stool and pinning Winry to the wall with his lips. She "eeped" in surprise, but a moment later her hands were messing up his braid as he rolled her tube top off her chest. "You wear this to torture me," he groaned, and his hands cradled her breasts.

"It's an added bonus," she admitted. Her body thumped against the wall as Ed lifted her, and she wound her legs around his waist. She felt him through her work jumpsuit and boldly rubbed against him. He let out a deep moan and leaned into her neck. Ed ran his tongue along the skin to make her squeal in return.

Ed was about to throw her down on her own workbench when they heard Al's book slam shut. "Can't you two be any quieter? I'm trying to study!" he shouted, and they heard him storm out of the house.

Ed looked at Winry- Winry looked at Ed. She snorted in the effort of keeping a straight face, and that was all the buzz-kill Ed needed to burst out laughing.
