Wow I can't believe this journey is over, I really enjoyed writing this story. From the moment I thought of this story idea I didn't expect much in return since I'm still pretty new at writing stories but I got reviewers, follows and favourites from you guys and that was more than I asked so thank you. With those generous gifts I have conviction to press forward and improve so I can keep writing stories and give some joy to all you viewers out there.
So keep in mind all of this, this whole story, was not of my own doing. You guys had a major contribution!
Just keep in mind this chapter's scene occurred the same day as the previous chapter.
So without further interruptions here is the last chapter of One Kiss Leads to Trouble.
A few more hours to go…
Winry was dreading every minute passing by, Edward could see it.
He thought it was odd to see her cool and collected state she wears all the time vanish all because of a house party. He knew she hated parties, hell he found that out when he first met her but she was backtracking. She had made tremendous progress with her social anxiety to the point where she was completely cured. Well suppose it never leaves and well comes back to bite you on the ass, Winry felt it.
Winry, with permission from her grandmother, was going to sleep over at Ed and Al's after the party. She sat in the lounge waiting… and waiting… and she was near explosion. Ed couldn't take it anymore and he did what any boyfriend would do and help calm her down.
Ed had his own ideas of how to calm her down. He sat beside her and without hesitation kissed her. He figured his mouth only brings stupid words and horrible insults, but he couldn't mess up the other use the mouth brought.
He was wrong, first she obliged to the kissing but she got pissed off that her boyfriend is kissing her in the state she's in. She pushed him back and he growled at the action.
"What are you doing?" she asked angrily.
"Calming you down" he bluntly said before pushing himself back on her lips. She wanted to continue but Ed's approach made her mad. She pulled back and stood up huffing.
"I don't want to be kissed while in this state Ed, I can't think straight and you're not helping."
He stood up after her with a mild demeanour he looked straight into her pools of sea and told her seriously "I only wanted you to relax; I can't do that with words okay. If you want me to talk fine, tell me what's on your mind."
She was mumbling a swear under her breath out of irritation, until she felt two strong arms wrap around her body and pulled into a tight embrace "I know you're scared to go to a big party, especially when a lot of douche bags and bitches are going to be there too. But I will be there by your side, if I won't then Riza will or Paninya or Rose or I'll even go as far as Colonel asshole" she giggled at the comment. "If you really don't want to go we can stay behind, watch a movie" he un-wrapped his arms to step back and look at her.
She shook her head to say no. "I can't keep hiding from people, but can you promise me one thing?" she asked cutely.
"Anything" he answered smiling.
"Will you tell me what you want for your birthday?"
"Just for you to be there. And the BIGGEST birthday kiss ever"
"Deal"
All she could do was grin and bear it, it was so noisy, it was overly crowded and something smelt funky in the kitchen. She wasn't enjoying herself and she saw Ed wasn't either. They were very alike on what they don't like, which she is grateful for since it brought them closer.
Ed looked to his girlfriend to see he was wearing his favourite colours red and black. He laughed on how they matched. She was wearing red skinny jeans and a white v neck toping it off with a black leather jacket that hugged her torso just right. His colour combination was different to hers by his hoody being red and his jeans being black.
He loved to show the other men staring that she was his.
It had been 2 hours into the party and 3 fights occurred, Winry was getting paranoid by her thought that Ed would be the next to fight. She had let go of Ed for a little while and stayed with Riza and Roy who were observing a beer pong match between Heymans and Jean. She felt uneasy at some of the girls glaring at her including her 'best friend' Noa.
By the 3rd hour she was back with Ed but she was ready to leave asap. Until she heard a yell from the front door,
"Whoever owns the Ford Focus the alarm just went off"
Ed mumbled a shit and assured Winry he'd be back. She stood alone and grabbed her drink from behind her and took a big sip of her coke. I didn't taste right…
She tossed the rest of the coke down the sink in the kitchen. Then it hit her, she couldn't stand straight so she held the counter near the sink. Her vision was becoming distorted and her hearing become more profound. She heard from Riza that a lot of douche bags at the party always spike people's drinks but the effect only lasted a few minutes, still she assured her that they are the longest few minutes of your life due to the horrible side effects.
She looked around the room seeing the side effects take place she looked towards the door and saw a figure walk up to her and he/she sounded concerned but said person was holding her by the waist which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Please let go of me" she pushed the person off her wobbly.
She figured it was a he because he grabbed her again and shoved his lips onto hers without a word. She wanted to die, she tried so hard to push him off but he was very strong. She tried to pull away to cry for help but no avail. All she could do is squirm.
She then felt the weight off her and heard Ed's voice in the back ground. She started to cry, she felt violated and she didn't know what was happening, she wanted to throw up… which she did in the sink.
"What the hell did you do to my girlfriend you bastard?" Ed yelled.
The person who pushed himself against Winry was Kimblee, he sneered at Edward "Not my fault your girl is a slut."
He was pissed, so angry he wouldn't mind being put in prison for the things he was going to do to him. He raised his fist to knock the guy, before he could Al appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Ed's fist before it came hurling down towards Kimblee's unshaken face.
Julia had appeared too helping Winry by moving her hair out the way of her face. It took Al a lot to pull Ed's fist away from Kimblee, sweet Alphonse had to slap his brother to grab his brother's attention.
"You have to calm down and focus on Winry now okay! Now get out of here and take her home." Al yelled.
Al knowing fully well why his brother had to keep his cool until Sunday. Ed looked at the seriousness on his brother's face which was rare due to his brother being such a happy and kind kid. Ed also knew his brother wouldn't lay a finger on him unless it was a serious matter. He had to let it go.
Ed was to the point where his mouth was foaming because he was so mad.. He looked at the concern in his brothers eyes and saw him gaze at a poor sick Winry over the sink.
Ed nodded in agreement and grabbed his nauseous girlfriend and carried her bridal style, before he left the kitchen he snarled his biddings to Kimblee.
"If you know what's good for you, you won't show your face at school on Monday"
Kimblee only smirked in return. Once Edward took a step out the kitchen Kimblee threw an unoccupied drink on the counter at him. Alphonse froze and mumbled 'shit' countless times.
Before Ed could turn around he saw an even more pissed off blonde walk past him. Olivier and tow entered the kitchen, Ed turned around with a dizzy but conscious Winry.
"Kimblee you can stop the crap you were paid to do."
Kimblee stumbled a bit, he still kept his poker face on and addressed Olivier in a mild manner "I have no clue to what you are referring to miss Armstrong."
"Cut the crap" she spat "Someone ratted your bosses out and are dealt with as we speak. Now unless you want to be tangled in this dilemma, leave now."
Kimblee had no other choice but to back down. He walked slowly away out the kitchen glaring at everyone but stopped by Edward.
"The drink will wear off in a few minutes, no need to rush her home" he told him and disappeared into the crowd.
Ed sighed in relief, both to the fact his girlfriend will be fine and that what happened didn't attract unwanted attention. He suddenly became immensely irritated.
"I'm so freaking confused on what the hell is happening."
Olivier nodded at her brother for a okay to speak of information.
"We weren't supposed to tell you until you're birthday but we were notified that we must tell you tonight." She began
Al shifted next to Ed's side helping Winry regain balance and listening to Olivier. Olivier gestured to her brother to complete what she had to say.
"Congratulations Edward Elric, you have inherited five hundred million Cens!"
He could have sworn he heard wrong but by the hug he got from a conscience Winry and a brotherly pat from Al he was right in hearing. All he could muster up to say was a 'Huh?'
Winry knocked on his head to wake him up "Even I understood that Ed! You inherited money! A lot of money!"
"Woah woah woah! And Kimblee was involved in this?" Ed asked.
Olivier shook her head 'yes' and explained the whole scenario with his uncle and cousins and how they were caught by Ennis' confession earlier that day. Ennis mostly did it out of spite but a confession is a confession.
"You're telling me that I went through all that shit they put me through was because of an inheritance?! I'm not sure the money is worth all of that trouble!"
Winry got defensive at a thought that occurred to her "Wait, so when you met me and went through all that 'shit', it wasn't worth it?"
"Winry you're worth all the trouble in the world" he defended himself.
"Well half a billion Cens should be worth the trouble too. Now you owe me a new wrench for making me come to this suck fest party." She sneakily pocket out his inheritance.
"How did I get into so much trouble" Ed whined, resting his palm over his head.
She grabbed his hand and pulled it off his face to look him in the eye
"It all started when you kissed me"
