Chapter 10

Winry pulled Ed down the hallway, glancing in each room to see if anyone was in there. Ed had no idea what she was doing or why, but he really wished that she would stop.

"Winry, what the hell -?" Ed began, but Winry forcefully pulled him into an empty room. Winry stared longingly into Ed's eyes as she shut the door behind them. Ed opened his mouth to speak again, but Winry pressed a finger to his lips.

"I don't want to hear that voice," Winry said, pushing Ed up against the wall. "I want you to be the Edward that I know and love... now." She kissed him gently, innocently. Ed shook his head.

"No, Winry," Ed said quietly. "I have to do this. I have to stay in character."

"Please," Winry said, leaning in to kiss him again. Ed turned his cheek to her in rejection.

"I said no," he said evenly. Winry pressed her body up against Ed's and began to kiss his neck. She began to pull his jacket off when Ed grabbed her by the hand. They stood staring silently into each other's eyes for a moment. Ed sighed and looked down in defeat. "Fine," he whispered and allowed Winry to kiss him intimately, massaging his tongue with hers. Ed's jacket fell to the floor as the kisses intensified, and the couple soon followed. They continued for what seemed like hours to Ed. Winry was finally satisfied and relaxed on Ed. Ed silently wondered what Kaylen and Al were doing as Winry fell into a light sleep.

"She used to not be like that," Al said to Kaylen back in the break room.

"You mean Winry?" Kaylen asked.

"Yeah. She just started acting like that today. Maybe she's just..." Al stopped mid-sentence and looked at Kaylen silently.

"Trying to make me jealous," Kaylen finished for him. Al gave no verbal reply, but the silence was enough of an answer. Kaylen let her bangs fall over her eyes as she whispered, "I think it's working."

"Kaylen..." Al began, unsure of what to say.

"You're so sweet, Al. I wish it could've been you instead," she said before standing up. "Please tell Ed that he's done. I'll see you guys here tomorrow. How about 10:00?"

"Sure. Have a nice night, Kaylen," Al said quietly. Kaylen waved before leaving the room. Al sat in silence as he thought about what Kaylen had just said. Could've been me? he wondered. What did she mean?

Meanwhile, Ed's right leg was falling asleep, much like the resting girl on his chest. He sighed and shook Winry softly. When she didn't wake, Ed decided that he had to carry her out. Carefully, he lifted her up in his arms and made his way down the hall. On his way to the break room, he ran into Kaylen.

"Hey, you leaving?" Ed asked, a friendly smile on his lips. Kaylen nodded but said nothing. "Well, we're leaving tomorrow morning, right? We meeting here?"

"Yeah," Kaylen answered. "10:00." Ed smiled and looked down at Winry in his arms.

"I'll try to get her here, too. No promises though," Ed said, laughter in his voice. He placed his automail hand on Kaylen's bare shoulder, making her jump slightly. The feel of the cold metal against her skin was new, and she found herself liking the feeling. "Take care of yourself, Kaylen. You look a bit stressed. Go get some rest, okay?" Kaylen nodded and smiled wearily as Ed pulled his hand away and placed it underneath Winry. Kaylen silently walked past Ed and towards the exit, a smile still lingering on her lips.

"Ah, you're so heavy, little girl..." Ed mumbled as he carried Winry into the break room.
