My eyelids felt like iron weights on my eyes. I could hear everything in my surroundings, yet I was blind to the world. As I tried to move my legs, I felt a soaring pain run through my body like a shock of electricity. The pain was enough to open my eyes as I hissed in pain. My eyes met with the night sky, with black clouds covering the stars. Suddenly it occured to me that I was infact floating. I gasped as I tried to have my feet safely back on the ground, but two strong arms restricted my body from falling. I gasped as I felt if I would fall, and quickly wrapped my arms securely around the person's neck. A low growl erupted from their throat as my arms tightened around them. Slowly, I let my eyes turn towards the noise, and found myself staring into the same beautiful golden orbs from before. I'd never seen such beautiful and unusual eyes in my life as I stared deeply into them. I felt myself blush as I continued to move my eyes down to his lips, which I found myself wanting to brush with my fingertips. He had such defined features, that it wasn't possible for him not to be an angel. Such a strong and flawless figure could never be a simple human being.

" With such a pretty face, you shouldn't be out wandering the night alone."

I was taken aback by his comment, but I was in such a trance over his lips that I found myself speechless. I was so sure my face was turning into a cherry from the heat I felt in my cheeks. I loosened my grip around his neck, and let my hands rest on his shoulders. Was it truly possible to be so tranced by another? Watching him speak was like as if he was beckoning me to kiss his lovely mouth. I was rudely snapped out of my thoughts by another jolt of pain from my leg. A wimper escaped my lips, tears stinging the corner of my eyes. His arms gently lowered me down onto the edge of the stone fountain. At least I knew that I was somewhere in the middle of town. He carefully layed my legs up, closely looking at them. I felt myself growing rather self conscious as his eyes peered down at them. I took the advantage to notice his golden hair was tied back in a ponytail. He looked amazingly handsome and quite charming with it, his hair definitely suited him.

"Can you tell me where it hurts?" He asked, his eyes snapping up to my own. I struggle to form some kind of reply, so I did the most I could do. Which was shrug my shoulders. I felt his hand rest lightly on my injured leg as he continued to observe. I prayed that he couldn't hear my heart practically leaping from my chest. It seemed everything he did had some kind of strange effect on me. My curiosity for him was almost stalker like. I felt the burning heat rise to my face as he slid his hand higher, barely above my knee.

" I apologize if I'm making you feel uncomfortable, I'm trying to see where your leg is hurt."

He really was too much to bear. I didn't know what had overcome me, but the urge to pounce him like a predator was the ridiculous thought running through my head. Was it just teenage hormones? I had never experienced such an attractive force before, but he was so different from any ordinary boy.

"It's my knee." I whispered, shying away from his gaze as I looked down at his hand.

" Ah, so she speaks." He smiled warmly. His voice was such a soothing sound to hear, that I wanted to hear more of it. I watched as he carefully placed both hands on my knee, putting slight pressure onto it. I bit my bottom lip. I thought about telling him to stop, that it hurt, but for some reason I'd rather enjoyed him being so close to me. As if the pain was worth going through.

"Hold still." He said as he held my knee firmly. I quickly snapped out of my embarrassment and grabbed his hands and tore them away from my leg. I continued to hold them in my grasp as I gazed into his eyes. It felt so strange to feel like I had seen those beautiful golden orbs from somewhere else, they felt so familiar to me. He lowered our hands, putting his on top of mine gently. Slowly, he lowered his head to my knee, never breaking our gaze. His lips brushed my knee softly, sending chills up my spine. I wanted to look away, knowing well my face had to be madly red, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from his.

As he removed his lips from my leg, I felt a weird tingly sensation run through my leg. I bent it slowly, realizing that the pain was completely gone. I gasped, as I felt with my own hands the spot where it hurt, and felt nor saw anything wrong with my leg. My eyes snapped back to his in shock. How was that even possible, was it all just in my head? Thoughts began running through my head like a runner in the olympics. My head began to hurt from trying to process everything that had happened. I tried to stand up, but found that I had done so too quickly and felt my knees give out on me. I felt his strong arms catch me in seconds before I hit the ground. Our faces were so close, I could feel his breath tickle my face. He helped stand me up, but his arms stayed securely around my waist.

"Th-th-thank you." I managed to stutter out. He smirked at me, hopefully not at my pathetic state.

" I've been rude I'm afraid. I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Edward Elric. " He said, releasing me from his grasp and giving a playful bow. I smiled and laughed softly. His appearance wasn't the only charming thing about him obviously. I cleared my throat and made my face stern.

" How did you do that? " I asked, peering into his eyes.

" Do what?"

" You healed my leg with just a simple touch. Thats humanly impossible. " I claimed. I looked back down at my knee again, observing it closely. Not even one scratch left on it. I heard him chuckle lightly.

" Didn't the pain always go away when your mother would kiss your wound? It's just mind over matter."

Mind over matter? MY mind couldn't possibly have the energy to be playing tricks on me, after everything that had happened. This wasn't something I could just shrug off as nothing, it wasn't the same as a mother kissing away the pain. That was mind over matter, but this wasn't normal. This was real, and the pain was definitely there. But from just the touch of his lips, it had completely disappeared. I felt his fingers curl under my chin and cup it gently. I felt the heat creep up to my cheeks again as he slowly lifted my face to his.I tried my best to keep my gaze away from him, darting my eyes everywhere and anywhere that could be interesting. Except that was the problem, nothing was as interesting to look at but him. Sadly, my eyes betrayed me as I found myself staring back into his. I felt his other hand wrap around my waist, bringing our bodies closer. I could feel my heart pounding in my ears, and I prayed that he couldn't hear it. My eyes dropped from his eyes to gaze at his lips which looked so welcoming. My insides felt like they were on fire, and my heart jumped at the thought of kissing him. After almost being killed, here I was, standing here with this beautiful boy's arms around me. And that was enough for me not to care about anything else, no matter how ridiculous or stupid it was of me.

"Winry?"

Snapping out of my thoughts I turned towards the direction of the voice. I felt Edward's hand fall from my face as he took a step away from me. Regaining my composure, I stood awkwardly rubbing the back of my head. The embarrassment of being caught like that was like a semi truck running over my body, which sounded better at the moment.

" Hello Father John! What are you doing out here so late? " I said, laughing nervously. His eyes widened as he stared at me with disbelief. I guess it was strange that a seventeen year old would be asking an adult that.

" I think the question is, what are you doing out here in the middle of the night! It's dangerous during these hours, have-" He stopped in midsentence as his eyes drank in the whole scene then. My clothes were covered in dirt and blood. The sleeve of my jacket was completely shredded, and I was positive my hair was a wreck.

" Good God child, are you alright?" He said running to me. He pulled off his coat and hung it on my shoulders, wrapping an arm around me securely. I tried to manage a smile, but the shock of the whole night had struck my face hard.

" I'm fine, I was walking and being clumsy as usual, I tripped. Just a few scrapes and a bruise for the morning, but other than that I'm really fine. " I managed to say. It was hard to lie to Father John, but I felt it was best to keep this one secret to myself. I was taught never to keep secrets, but breaking this one rule only this ONE time wouldn't harm anything, right?

"Come child, we must get you home." He said. I noticed him staring curiously at Edward, who held an emotionless stare in return. My feet were made to walk as Father John guided me down the road. Still feeling Edward's intense stare, I turned my head to look back at him. His mouth quickly turned into a smile as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. I barely knew him, and yet my heart could've leapt from my chest. I watched as he turned away slowly and began to walk in the opposite direction.

"Edward Elric...."
