Hmm. Yaoi and kissing. That's your warning.
----------------------------------------
The phone rings and I almost hang up. I give the hand I am holding a squeeze and it squeezes back. I glance at Roy and I know I have to go through with this.
"Hello?" She answers. I inhale sharply before speaking.
"Winry? Don't hang up." I say.
"What the fuck do you want?" She asks.
"I want...to apologize. I'm really sorry, Winry. I didn't mean what I said. I just...this is really hard for me too. I never meant to hurt you in the process."
"You did." She states the obvious in a cold voice. Ouch, I think.
"Winry. I do love you; I hope you know. It's just...more like a sister."
"You would kiss your sister? Have you kissed Alphonse too?"
"...That's not fair. You know I didn't mean that...You know what I meant!" I'm annoyed that she would even suggest that I kiss Al. He's my brother! We're related, for Ishbala's sake!
There is a long pause and then she speaks again.
"Despite your denial, Edward, I think you are bisexual." She says slowing. Shit, I think, so I've been caught in my own lie.
"Yeah, maybe..." I say.
"And you would choose Roy over me, you've made that obvious."
"Yeah..." I wonder where she is going with this.
"I suppose...I can try to accept that. But this hurts, Ed; this hurts more than you will ever know." Happiness and despair reach me at the same time, and I don't know what to feel. I'm glad she is trying to understand, but the fact that I hurt her distresses me.
"Thank you and I'm sorry, Winry." I say, knowing I got off the hook too easily.
"Just one thing, Edward." I inhale a breathe, preparing. "Why?" I blow out all my air in one breath. Why? Why? Why what? How does one even answer that question?
"Why?" I echo.
"Yes, why? Why did you kiss me?"
"Give me a second." I stop, pausing to think. I turn to Roy for support. Why does one kiss someone else? I lean in towards him and brush my lips against his. Just a quick kiss tells me all I need to know. People kiss others because they think they like them. I know I thought I liked Winry at one point. However, after I kissed her, I knew it was a mistake. That is why I would choose Roy. I put the phone back to my ear, just realizing that I let my arm and it fall to my side. "I kissed you because I thought I liked you." I wince at my word choice, but I know it's true. "After the kiss, I knew I liked you, but not as a...lover." I say. I hear her sigh.
"Edward, I could never like you as a lover."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. I could never date someone shorter than me, I told you that when we were five."
"WHO'RE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT HE COULD DATE ANYONE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T SEE HIM AND THUS IT WOULDN'T EVEN BE CONSIDERED DATING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DATE SOMEONE YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE??" I burst out. Roy chuckles and takes the phone.
"I'm pretty sure that the short little Edward Elric is dateable, Winry." He pauses. "Uh-huh." He laughs. "That's true. Okay. See you later then; once Edward busts up his arm again."
"I'LL KILL HIM!!" Even I can hear her shout.
"What did she say, besides that last bit?"
"We were just discussing how it's such a strain on backs to lean down to kiss short people."
"HEY!" I don't let another rant escape. Things are exactly as they should be; I know Winry has forgiven me. I lean towards Roy once again for another kiss. He overdramatically bends over, and kisses me. We separate a bit too soon.
"Damn, that was some strain on my back." Roy rubs his back, as if he pulled a muscle.
"Oh shut up." I trip him and he falls to the floor on his butt. "Basturd." I straddle him while facing him and push him flat on his back. I lean forward and then I continue kissing him, in a position where he doesn't strain his back.
----------------------------------------
Obviously...this isn't in support of AlxEd. I honestly don't like AlxEd. They are brothers...
I think this might be the end of this entire story. I'm undecided. Does it sound complete?
