I got the idea for this while I was swimming in my pool. I was just wading around, thinking up ideas when this came crashing in...I laughed, got a weird look from my little brother and that's about it...
Trouble Lurking:
Winry was sure Edward would be displeased with her. She nervously rubbed her arm and shifted from one foot to the other. She had seen him make his way towards the small pond in the yard, obviously the fact that his shirt and pants were missing had peeked Winry's interest more than she would like to admit. She couldn't help herself as she followed behind him in wonder. It was late, probably past midnight by now so as to why Edward was taking late night swims baffled her…that…and since he had returned home she hadn't really gotten a good look at his original body…completely.
So what that it's only been about two days…she was curious…
There, she thought proudly as she snuck as well as she could to the first available hiding spot. She had a plan if she got caught. She peeked around the tree she had placed herself behind, thankful it was wide enough to hide her completely and that the night was dark enough to shield her from his eyes. Or so she hoped…
She peered and watched him wade into the water then dip underneath it only to come up farther out. It must have been years since he's had a truly good, enjoyable swim and the summer night was warm enough that the water would surely cool him down. Like God was smiling down upon her the moonlight shone right above where Edward had emerged. The light made the droplets of water glisten off of his heavenly sculpted chest.
She shook her head and sighed heavily, now she was getting a little ahead of herself as she felt the blush stain her cheeks.
She watched him raise his right arm towards the moon, she study the muscle and form of it, probably as he did. She saw him bend his fingers into a fist as he lowered himself deeper into the water. So far she could only see him from behind and for some reason she wished to see the look of the light reflect in his amber eyes. She moved in slightly closer, hoping to see his face. To forever memorize the expression that he had in this very moment.
Only she didn't see the root that lay in front of her and happened to take a small trip into the water. Edward turned quickly, ducking deeper into the water.
"Who's there?" He called, "I know it ain't some god damned bird or something!" He called, making it sound like a threat.
Winry sat in the water for a moment, thinking over what to say before her mouth spilled out words her head didn't exactly agree to. "It's me, Ed…I was watching…" She stood up, her pajamas completely soaked.
"What the hell were you doing that for?" He shouted, moving over towards her. She suddenly found him in front of her, standing over her and she quickly became aware of his taller figure compared to hers. She blushed and looked away.
"Am…am I in trouble?" She softly asked, the heat from her cheeks and the closeness of Edward's near naked body making her dizzy.
"Hell yeah you're in trouble!" He cursed, looking away from a moment than back at her shameful form. He grabbed her shoulders to her surprise and unexpectedly threw her further into the pond.
"There, now were even!" He snickered, "Though technically you should be half-naked too…" He laughed at her face, once embarrassed for getting caught now red with rage.
"I can't believe you did that…" She splashed him with water and he simply blocked it with his hands, still laughing.
"I'll just throw you again Winry…" Edward told her as a warning as she continued splashing. She stopped slowly, giving up and hiding beneath the water's surface. Suddenly Edward was next to her like he was before, pulling her up towards him. She spit water into his face and laughed at his disgusted expression.
"That was low…" He hissed low and deep.
"That was funny…" She mimicked his previous tone of voice.
She evilly grinned and grabbed onto his shoulders, pulling him under with her. They both stayed under for a moment, looking at each other's blurred forms in the moonlight. They popped out at the same time, out of breath and moving past the feeling of revenge. Winry outstretched her arms and Edward took her in with a fake expression of annoyance. Winry clearly saw right through it.
"Don't give me that face Ed, I bet you like hugging me…" She stuck out her tongue and was slightly pleased when he didn't argue her accusation. "I wanted to see you completely whole…I was so happy for you…" She smiled to herself as she placed her cheek on Edward's chest, listening to the sound of his rapid heart beat. She felt him nod, apparently words lost to him.
"You don't mind me like this right?" She asked him, looking up with hopeful eyes.
"N-no, it's okay." He answered honestly as she set her head back down.
"I might fall asleep…this is a position I could get used to…" She laughed quietly as she heard Edward's heart skip a beat. "So…" She started gently. "Am I still in trouble?" She held onto him tighter, not wanting to let go.
"God no…" He breathed out. "I mean…uh, no we're fine now…" He coughed, trying to play it cool.
Winry laughed, "Good…I'm glad."
