Thank you RenofAmestris for reviewing!
Warning: This chapter/theme/drabble/whatever tells Ed's perspective of a scene from episode twenty-two of Brotherhood (chapter forty-seven / volume twelve of the manga), and may spoil it for those who have not gotten to that point. I'd suggest skipping this one if you haven't watched that episode (or read that chapter) yet. :3
Theme 31: To Hurt, To Heal
Ed stared sorrowfully at the gun in Winry's hands. There was never a day when Ed thought he would cause Winry so much pain. Not ever.
His fingers almost began to shake. He was the one hurting her. No one else.
"But why…?" Ed began peeling Winry's fingers off the cold gun. One of her tears fell onto his glove.
That single tear reminded him of all the tears she had cried before because of him.
Ed stared at the blazing flames and the burning wood. Everything was turning into ash right before his eyes, and by morning, nothing would be left.
When he finally directed his attention to his side, he could see the luminous orange light reflected in Winry's tears.
"Why are you crying?"
Winry attempted to wipe the tears from her face, but they wouldn't stop.
Ed held Winry's hand firmly.
"I just keep doing it again and again…"
Closing his eyes, he had finally found the right words to say.
"Your hands were meant to heal, not hurt, Winry."
Ed looked up as Winry grabbed his coat.
"I'm the one who hurts people ."
This one is really short, huh? Sorry about that. I really adore this scene and always wonder "What thoughts are going through Ed's mind?" whenever I watch it. I find it one of the cutest Edwin moments. Please review~
