Hello!! This chapter has more EdWin. I love this chapter, it's a total AWWW cute moment. Well enjoy!

Ed walked into Al's room late that night. Neither of them could sleep since Winry never came back. They talked for a while and Ed decided he would never get a girlfriend because all he did was make girls cry.

"Brother, you should go after Winry," Al said.

"I'd love to Al, but we're leaving in the morning. I'd just make her cry even more." Ed thought for a minute. He wanted to go find Winry, but he was worried about the homunculus.

Ed stood up. "Al, I'll be back later," he said as he began walking out the door.

Finding Winry wasn't too difficult. She was sitting underneath the tree by the river that led to the east. She sat curled up in a ball with her head between her legs. As Ed walked up to her, he rested his hand on the tree. He used the tree to help settle him down. Winry looked up to see him, and she smiled.

"Winry," he started. He took her hand. "I hope you know why I can't let you come with."

She sighed. "I thought you said you would never leave me."

Ed pulled her closer in. She leaned onto his chest to make herself warm. "Winry, I'm not leaving you, I just have to go away for a while. I'm leaving so I know you will always safe and you don't have to worry about the homunculi."

Ed put his hand through her hair to comfort her. Winry looked up at him from his chest. He leaned in and he kissed her passionately.

"Winry," he said in between breaths. "I want you to wait here for me because I love you. I promise when Al and I get back-" he stopped because Winry was crying.

"Winry, what's wrong?! Did I hurt you?!"

Winry wiped the tears from her eyes. "No, I'm just happy," she said as she hugged him tight. "I love you, too, Edward."

They both fell asleep underneath the tree next to the river.

*********************************************************************

By the time Winry awoke Edward was gone. She went to her house to find a note on the table. It was from Ed:

Winry, when Al and I get back, I want to hold you again like I did down by the river. I want you to remember that I am a State Alchemist and I may need to leave with a moments notice. I also lov- Am I being too cheesy for you Winry? Maybe I've been in Munich too long. Well I have to go.

Love, Edward Elric

Winry smiled as she read the note. When she finished, she gently set the letter down. She looked up to see Pinnako, smoking away on her pipe.

"You know," Pinnako started. "That boy really does love you. Besides Al, you're all he has left."

Winy looked around the dinning room. She didn't know how to answer her grandmother's statement.

"Granny," was all she could say. "I'm just going to have to wait for them like last time."

*****************************************************************

"So, Al," Edward said as they walked to the train station in a hurried pace. It was about six in the morning, right before the sun was due to come off the horizon. Ed felt almost excited to leave. He felt strange about the whole situation with Winry. He loved her so much, but he didn't understand it. He needed time to rethink everything and get a grip on reality.

"How's your automail? You didn't rehabilitate it at all. I was puking my guts out by this time." Edward cringed from nostalgia.

Al took his real right arm and rubbed his left shoulder. "It's alright. I have been through worse, brother."

Ed remembered their four years of journeying together. "Al," he said. "I'm sorry." They stopped walking.

"Brother, what are you sorry for? Are you still mad at yourself for putting me in a suit of armor?"

Ed turned towards his younger brother. "No, Al. It's my fault you lost your left arm."

Al stood there, stunned. He thought it over, and he could see how his brother could think that. "Ed, it's not your fault that-"

"Al, if it wasn't for me, we'd still be in Resembol living in our house with our original bodies. We finally get your body back and in equivalent exchange, your arm is taken away. If I had never gone to Munich, you could finally be normal, Al." A tear came down Ed's cheek.

"Ed. Is there something else bothering you?" Al put is right hand on Ed's shoulder.

"It's Winry, Al. I really think I messed things up. Ah-well-I don't know Al. I act so different around her now and she acts different around me. It's confusing," Edward said as he scratched his head.

Al smiled and shook his head. "I think you and Winry would make a perfect couple. You both are part crazy."

"What's that suppose to mean?!"

"Come on Brother, we're going to miss our train to Central."

Well not a too exciting chapter, but still pretty sweet. The next chapter will be in Central, the first time Ed has been there in a few years so that's pretty exciting. It should be on by at least Sunday.
