Winry started to have second thoughts about allowing Ed entry into her room, as she heard the door handle begin to turn. She sat up slightly in waiting, it seemed like it was taking forever for the knob to make a full rotation. Once she heard the click of the knob being done turning, her heart began to race. She grabbed a ponytail and pulled her hair back, real quick before he pushed and entered. There he stood in the doorway, all that was visible was his neck and up. She felt so relieved to even be able to see that much of him, she loved every bit of him no more denying it.

" What do you want, jackass?", Winry asked annoyedly, bringing back the ever so popular nickname we all love!

" I brought you something...", Ed announced before taking a step further into the room, revealing a small jar with a fuzzy cocoon attached to the lid. Winry squinted to make sure she was seeing it right. He came closer to her and set it down carefully on the side of her bed. She picked the jar up gently and observed the little creature. He watched with amusement as her eyes traced the glass, and identifying the creature.

" Ed is this the cocoon to a butterfly or something?", Winry asked quietly, she had lost most of her voice from crying all night. Ed nodded, remembering what Alphonse had told him earlier. He explained everything that Al had said earlier, and how her and the butterfly that the cocoon's gonna be someday are very much alike. He explained the parts about helping her every once and a while, and even the part about letting her fly free...

" Winry i'm so sorry, it was not ok for me to yell at you like that no matter how much pain I was in. I just can't control my temper on those subject, I don't know why. I need to work on that a little... I really am sorry, you mean so much to me I just didn't want you to get hurt. This is dangerous stuff were missing with and I don't want you to get hurt like us or the colonel or Major Armstrong or countless amounts of casualties we just had in Central. So I was just wondering if you could maybe find it in your heart to forgive me, and if you want we could be just friends again?", Ed was on his knees, he couldn't look at her he felt like a monster. Winry had listened to everything he had said, and he seemed to have thought it would have no effect on the situation.

" Ed you've been hanging around too many homunculus lately...", Winry smiled slightly. Ed looked up into her face, he couldn't tell if she was angry or not still. He looked into her eyes for answers.

" I don't totally forgive, after all I have been up here crying and swearing my heart out because of you.", Winry kinda scolded, Ed hated making her cry and it stung hearing that. Winry picked up the cocoon jar again and took off the lid. Ed looked at the jar and looked at Winry he didn't really understand. He cocked his head to the side as Winry reached down to where he sat to hand him the jar and lid.

" What are you doing Winry?", Ed asked confusedly. He looked at it closely and he still didn't understand, what was she getting at? Winry crossed her legs on the bed and wiped her eyes.

" You see just like me and that cocoon we couldn't leave your side even if we wanted to. What's inside of us keeps us right where you are...", Winry clasped her hands together in her lap. Ed finally got it and smiled at her, as he stood up and closed the jar lid. He walked over to her tools and used a sharp one to make a few small air holes at the top of the jar. Winry watched him take a piece of masking tape and put it on the side of the jar and pick up a sharpie. He then returned to Winry's to bedside and looked at her expectantly, but she didn't know what he expected her to say.

" Well what do you think we should name it?', He asked as if it was sorta obvious. She thought, as she rubbed her chin in a thinking sort of way. Ed stood there impatiently, hands on his hips. Suddenly Winry looked back up from her lap and snapped her fingers; it was her aha moment!

" Lets name him Edwin!", Winry suggested excitedly. Edward didn't even have to guess why, it was casual yet included both of there names. Ed nodded happily and smiled at her, as he walked over to the table and sat. He wrote the name "Edwin Love" on the piece of tape and put the jar on her window sill. Winry and Ed stood back kinda admiring it and it was a sweet moment. Winry finally stood and walked over to Ed.

" Hey Ed I just wanted to let you know that there's something on your lips, and its big!", Winry got closed pointing at it, Ed unaware of the ruse looked down and tried to reach for it.

" What is it?", Ed asked Winry confusedly, he didn't see anything. Winry smiled and grabbed his shoulders, kissing him on the lips for a few seconds. Then pulling away to see if he wanted to continue or what. He was so flustered from this surprise that his face turned deep red and showed no emotion but surprise. Winry waited for a second and just as she was about to give up and pull away, Ed placed a hand under her chin. Her eyes widened she didn't know what was going on now.

" Where do you think your going?", Ed whispered seductively. Winry smirked back, she knew what he was doing.

" Wherever you are...", Winry answered romantically. (OMG Edward fangirls scream in the background)

" Works for me..", Ed shrugged and kissed Winry, Winry didn't hesitate to kiss him back. Little did they know that right outside Winry's window there was a certain armored Elric brother watching them.


" Well brother you finally got it right!", Al sighed.

" Aw man I really need a girlfriend...", Al sighed realizing he was investing all of his time in someone else's relationship; why wasn't he in his own. Then Alphonse looked down over his body and remembered,

" Oh ya, thats why..." He said sadly, and smacked his breastplate. He then left that window and gave them some privacy.


Ed let one hand rest on the side of Winry's cheek and kissed her harder. Winry in response kissed him even harder. In the few seconds they pulled apart to catch their breath Winry collapsed into Ed's arms. She hugged him tight. Ed didn't know why she seemed so desperate to hug him, like it had taken a thousand years to get to him.

" Ed I love you, so so much. I can't even describe it to you, whenever I'm around you my heart just.. like feels happy!", Winry tried to explain. Ed listened, and knew that the only other person that had ever felt that way about him was his mother; but this was a little different. He hugged her tightly back, well with one arm the other was still broken from earlier.

" I love you too. I've loved you since we were just caterpillars playing in the field. I love you now more than ever, your my little cocoon, and I'll love you even more when your my little butterfly someday and I'll keep loving you even after death does us apart.", Ed whispered to her. Winry let tears of joy flow down her cheeks, to her that was pure poetry. ( Especially considering most of what Ed says is word vomit)

" Anyway lets fix your arms before it falls off.", Winry suggested pulling out of his arm slowly. Ed nodded and they went over to the desk to fix his arm.

" Fullmetal arm, after Fullmetal Heart!"
