Chapter 4
December, 25th
"Happy Holidays, Onii-san," Autumn handed Ed her nicely wrapped gift.
When unwrapped away from its beautiful covering design Ed, smiled and placed his warm hand on the top of her head. His eyes and lips worded each letter of a simple thank you very softly. "Ed, come quick!! It's snowing!!" Ed bounded to where Al was standing.
Ed's golden orbs widened in excitement. Just like the boy he acted on the crisp, joyful Channakah mornings spent with his mother, and Al. The two boys bounded out the door and into the snow. Den bounding right after them. Such laughter, and joy of being in the soft white blanket when Ed pulled her into the cold snow and smiled down at her. He was happy. They all were. She wanted to cry joyfully and have this smiling moment of Ed stay forever. Winry despite being in the cold snow, and on the brink tears. Felt warm and safe. She knew it wouldn't last long. Ed had a couple of weeks left, before he had to leave. To go back to that pointless war that dragged loved ones away from one another, for too long, or forever.
"Winry, you feeling okay?" Ed's look said it all.
Winry nodded in reassurance. Ed smiled and bent down to the still Winry lying in the cold snow. He leaned in and kissed her gently. When they separated he smiled. "I'm glad."His beautiful, angelic smile increased as he was about to bend to down to kiss her again, when a slight cough came from a grinning pinako standing between the cold outdoors and the warmth of the indoors.
Everyone went back inside. Ed had his arm protectively around Winry. Not wanting to let go as he leaned down to her ear and whispered gently, "I Love you," Winry smiled back.
"I love you more," Ed took heed of the challenge, but stopped as Al was willing to share this with the towns people.
Ed leaned down and kissed Winry gently. The kiss grew more passionately as the two entered the room. "I think you should be aware of kids under 13 in the room at this time. I understand that you two love each other. Maybe show such affection some other time tonight." Ed was frustrated of being interrupted for showing affection. It's okay. He can make up for it tonight.
The whistle of the Ed's train sounded as Ed separated his passionate kiss from Winry. He didn't want to leave her. But he had to. He kissed her again and jumped on the train and pulled Winry up and leaned in to whisper gentle words of farewell. "Wait for me." Winry smiled.
"I will." Ed kissed her one last time before he said his good-byes to the delicate, beautiful blonde before him that he loved so much.
His train left. He was gone out of her beloved sight again. She walked back to the house alone. This time to hear what sounded like an explosion.
Winry raced back to see missiles from a foreign army, destroying her home. Tears flowed down her soft cheeks as everything she knew is being destroyed. Taken away by those inhumane men. She raced back to see the house in perfect condition only with her family standing outside. They needed to leave from there. They had too. Leaving Risembool. A beautiful place that they were born from. They were leaving it now. They all turned at the top of the hill that connects to just east of the beautiful rural land scape. They were all ready to leave. The only one and only thing standing in their way. Was the explosion that caused each of their sight to fade into the darkness of unconsciousness.
