Devon: Okay hello! Thank you everyone for all of your reviews and such! I'm so sorry I've taken so long to update but my life's been kinda crazy right now. Anyways like the previous chapter this chapter was originally planned but I'm comming up blank for my story and I knew I owed you guys something to prove I wasn't dead or something at the side of the road or whatever so sorry if it's not very good. Anyways as always thanks so much for reading, and just so you're not confused. The story has already been spread out for the length of almost two years now (I know it doesn't seem like it) so it may see slightly strange but it all makes sense the more you read it. Oh and I'll make a comment. Ed's been in the hospital since the middle of August and in this chapter it's the beginning of December.
Al: *looks around fascinated* Wow what is this place?
Devon:...(mostly to her self) oh yeah I forgot Al's never been here. Al this is the wonderful world of my fanfictions.
Ed: yeah right.
Devon: *hits him over the head...with a book* Ed shut the hell up for once in you life! *extremely sweet* Al would you pretty please do the disclaimer while I beat the shit-I mean nicely give your brother a talking to? *without waiting for an answer she drags Ed off.*
Al: Oh um okay. Devon Marie Darling doesn't own me my brother, Winry or anyone else in the Fullmetal series. She doesn't own Fullmetal alchemist either. She own, though, the plot, the oc Ellie, and three kitkats which are her favorite candy! *smiles sweetly and walks off*
Devon and Ed in the back ground: *sweatdrop*
Anyways onto the story!
Chapter 10: Proposing?
Ed had always being in hospitals and every time he left one he hated them more and more because it reminded him of what he had been missing while in the hospital. Now, Ed knew there was something going on between his younger brother and Ellie but he never knew how serious it was. They were getting married for Petes sake! Sure they bonded all the time Winry was in the hospital and all the time Ed had been in the hospital and they knew each other from before that but was marriage really what they needed and yet the more he thought about it the happier he was for his younger brother. Ed knew he should settle down like his brother, he knew he never wanted Al to be in the military, like he was perhaps marriage fit the two the best anyways.
A happy lemon-yellow blonde with sparkling blue eyes skipped over to the elder Elric as he walked in the sun.
"Hey, Ed" Winry greeted. Unfortunately for her he gave no reply. "I think it's sweet that Al finally asked Ellie to marry him." She commented as her and Ed walked towards the house they were currently sharing. Unconsciously Ed reached over and pulled the blonde mechanic closer to his side when he noticed people staring at her. Ever since the extremely passionate kiss shared between the two so many months ago in the hospital, they showed no change in their relationship and now that he was, Winry quickly made it upon herself to enjoy it not knowing how long it would last. After a few silent minutes between the two Ed broke the almost unbearable silence.
"So my little brothers getting married, huh? And before me." Ed commented, mostly to him self. Winry giggled.
"Are you really that surprised. You never showed any interest in settling down to begin with. No one was surprised Al asked some one before you." she replied. Ed turned his golden gaze on her. Thank god he's holding onto me or my knees would've given way right then and there Winry thought as she tried to collect her thoughts and get those golden orbs out of her head.
"I had plenty of intention and interest in settling down. Just after Al and I got our bodies back." Ed commented. Winry rolled her eyes but seriously wondered if he was telling the truth. "Besides the way you say it you make it see as if I'm not capable of settling down. And I assure you I am very capable." He promised. Winry shook her head a small smile finding it's way to her pale pink lips.
"Oh sure you're capable but is there anyone that will settle down with you?" Winry teased.
"Oh there's probably tons of peo-girls out there who want to marry me." Ed said with a devious grin. Sharp daggers pierced Winry's heart in the cold winds of early December. Winry knew Ed was messing with her but what if he hadn't meant all those things he said in the hospital room so many months back. What if he couldn't even remember saying them let alone kissing her and making her feel like he truly loved her, something she had wanted since she was a younger girl.
Winry felt two strong arms wrap around her, warmth surrounded her and she didn't feel cold anymore, just very conscious of how close Ed's face was to her's.
"There are probably hundreds of girls I've met in my travels who I probably would've grown close to, had I stayed but none of them will ever match up to the woman I fell in love with. The one who hangs out with me and my brother, is different than all the other girls, and has a mean arm, especially when it comes to knocking someone unconscious with a wrench." he said his words flowing like velvet from his mouth into her ears. Winry could feel Ed's heart beat and she knew he could feel her's the chests pressed up against each other, Ed's strong arms wrapped around Winry's thin cold frame and it felt as if time itself had stoped.
Ed's warm lips pressed against Winry's cold, soft lips and she knew that for the life of her, Edward Elric was hers she was his and nothing and no one was going to change that.
"Hey, you two lover birds! Get a room before you freeze you tails off!" someone yelled behind them. Blushing, Winry tried to pull away but Ed just smiled into the kiss and pulled her closer.
"So seemings we started on this topic why don't we end on the same one. I've no longer got to work for the military 24/7 and I am all for heading home to Resembol but only on one condition. Winry Rockbell, Will you marry me?" Ed asked against her numb lips. To frozen in shock, cold, and absolute bliss Winry simply nodded.
Smirking, happy with himself, ed pulled away, winry, though, wished he hadn't as soon as he did but he kept one arm around her the whole time.
"So I figure the old man was right. If we stay out here we'll both be two sick to stay on a train long enough to get to Resembol and to walk through town to Pianiko's house so let's go. Beside's Al and Ellie will start to worry." He said before pausing. "And I don't mind taking him up on his 'get a room' comment." Not sure how to react to everything going on at once Winry just followed, her new fiancé, to their temporary home.
Devon: Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, that was short, and random, and had a bunch of oocness but to bad. I was in the mood for some EdWin fluff, I've had a bunch of sugar to day and it's 2 in the morning so this is what you get. Anyways as always I love you all, my devoted readers, thanks so much, and please, as always, read, review, and check out my other stories! Thanks! ^.^
