I don't own FMA, I just like to use the characters.
an-This takes place after some events of last chapter: After Riza takes a bullet for Roy, but before the two get married.
-OOO-
It was a gross privation she had to face almost everyday for four years. She only saw him once, and that was to replace the dingy prosthetics he wore with the automail she had made for him and carried around during most of his absence, then he was off again, but this time she didn't even have Al, not that she had seen him much in the two years Ed was gone, but Al had at least written to her. After two years of their absence an earthquake was reported in the desert between Zing and Armestris. Her mind was quick to realize the meaning of the earthquake. She knew it was them, but she didn't want to get her hopes up that it was both of them. When she got the call she took the fastest train to the desert. A coalition had been formed between Armestris and Xing when Roy became Fuhrer, he had convinced their new government it was for the best, and a railroad between the two had been formed between the two countries. The earthquake's epicenter was reported to be right outside one of the new cities that had been built at one of the train stops. When Roy called to tell her the location of the earthquake he also told her of the two young men that were found wandering the desert. She would no longer be deprived of her friends, of her love.
Roy and Riza escorted her to the city of Bringam. Winry was not oblivious to the looks exchanged between Roy and Riza during the long train ride. It was the same way she used to look at Edward when she thought no one was looking. She hoped that soon enough people would see her and Edward looking at each other that way openly, not attempting to hide it. At that moment she decided that the first thing she would do when she saw him was kiss him senseless.
When they arrived at Bringam Winry's plan was put to a halt when she saw Edward holding the hand of a beautiful brunette. Her smile faltered for just a moment, but she caught it before everyone else did.
"Hi Winry!" Al shouted and pulled her into a long hug, "I remember it all," he said a smile on his face, "I remembered when I crossed into the other world with brother."
"That's great Al," she replied and pulled away after a few minutes. She had missed the jealous looks coming from both Ed and the brunette.
Al pulled Winry along by the hand and introduced them, "Winry this is Noah, Noah this is Winry. Noah is a psychic of sorts. Winry is the one who made brother's automail." Both girls muttered an overly-enthusiastic 'nice to meet you' and quickly shook hands. Winry then turned to Edward who was staring at her intently.
"Hi," she said shyly, like they were meeting for the first time and let go of Al's hand. Noah took the moment to let go of Edward's hand and cling to Al.
"Hey Win," Edward said just as timidly and pulled her into a gentle embrace. She wrapped her arms around him, afraid he would disappear if she didn't hold him tightly. She buried her head in his shoulder and took in his scent, she had almost forgotten it, but is was a little different now.
Winry didn't notice everyone staring at them, she didn't know that Noah was smiling now that she was with Alphonse. If Edward was able to focus on anything but her he would have seen them watching, but all he could do was take in the way she held him, how her hair felt as he ran his left hand through it, the warmth of her breath tickling his neck.
"I missed you," he whispered, his voice a little rough.
She looked up at him and barely managed to get out the words 'me too' before he did what she had been planning on doing. The kiss was sweet and short, but the one that followed was long and passionate, causing both of them to forget the world until Roy gave a loud cough which suspiciously sounded like get a room. Winry glared at him only to laugh when Riza hit him upside the head while Ed predictably called him a bastard. Winry then noticed the way Al and Noah were holding hands, fingers intertwined. She didn't care what they had done to get back home, for now she was content just to know they were all standing there with her, happy.

A.N.-Something a little different from what I usually write, but good, because I was finally able to get away from pure Royai and do something else. No, that doesn't mean I wont be writing Royai anymore, it just means there is a possibility of something else. I'd like to know if this is any good because it is the first EdWin I have written.
