Author's note: So I revised the chapters to read more efficiently but I forgot to add something. I do not own these characters but I have so much fun writing about them. Enjoy!
The train pulled into the station, and Edward waited impatiently. He hadn't seen her in three months but it felt so much longer. The train finally stopped, and the passengers disembarked. Then he saw her long flowing blonde hair grazing a green dress and white belt, and his heart sped up. They hadn't seen each other since the proposal at the Risembool train station. Things were different now. Their relationship was more solid, and their future a little more defined.
Winry's eyes met his, and she smiled. "Hey there", she said as she walked up to Edward. She placed her hand on his face, and kissed his other cheek. He blushed a little at the public display of affection.
"Hey," he said as he hugged her. He whispered into her ear "I missed you."
"I missed you, too," Winry replied. They looked at each other and smiled.
Edward took her bag and they walked quietly to the hotel. They went into Winry's room, and got settled on the sofa in the room. 'Why are we so awkward? We were fine before he left,' she wondered.
'Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other in a while,' Ed wondered.
"So tell me all about the West." Winry stated trying to get comfortable talking to him again.
Edward relaxed as he told her all about what he learned. He was excited but then at the end, he let his disappointment show. "It ended too soon. These damn politicians, and this damn war."
Winry rested her hand on his knee. "I know. I was surprised that it came down to this. But I am happy to see you again."
"Yeah, I'm happy to see you, too." He said with a small smile and he took her hand in his.
Edward moved closer to her, and Winry put her hand on his face. They leaned forward and their lips touched softly. Winry pushed her lips more into him. 'Finally!' she thought. Edward opened his mouth signaling to her to let their tongues touch. He pulled her closer to him so that their chests were pressed against each other. They kissed intensely holding tightly on to each other. Winry's hand rubbed his back, and her other hand ran through his bangs.
Edward eventually pulled off of Winry's lips. "I've missed you. And I've missed this so much." He whispered into her ear, and then he started kissing her neck and down to her collar bone.
"I've missed this too." Winry replied playing with his hair that was pulled back. Edward moved back up to her lips, and kissed her some more. Winry scratched his back with her nails, and Edward moaned. He loved the feeling of her nails on his back.
They both ran out of breath, and eventually calmed down their reconnecting with each other. Edward noticed the time, and offered to take her out for a casual dinner tonight. "I made reservations for tomorrow night at a nicer restaurant."
"That's good. I still have to go dress shopping. I was thinking of inviting Mrs. Hughes to come with me."
"She would like that." Edward said. He then looked alarmed. "Oh I almost forgot. I have something for you but it's in my room. Let me go get it." Edward came back shortly to see Winry brushing her hair as it was little out of place due to their make out session. He came back with a small rectangular box. "Here," he presented it to her.
She took it and opened it to see a necklace. "Awww. It's really pretty." She took it out. "Can you help me put it on?" Edward realized he had no idea how to put on a necklace. He went behind and took both ends. He played with the clasp and figured out how it worked. "Well Ed, you're being really nice."
"What? I can be nice when I want to be." Edward retorted.
Winry smiled and thought 'Well he's gotten better with this fiancé thing.'
Edward and Winry went out to dinner, and talked more comfortably with each other. They talked about the letters from Al, Winry's business, and Edward's office days in Central now that traveling was restricted. The initial awkwardness was gone. They didn't stay out too late because Edward still had to work tomorrow.
Edward and Winry arrived back at the hotel, and stood in front of Winry's door. Edward figured he would kiss her good night, and they part ways for the night. But Winry opened her door, and asked if he could come in so they could talk about something. She sat on the bed and patted the spot next to her. "So what is it?" he asked curiously.
"Well, we're planning on getting married, right?" she said looking into her lap.
"Well, yeah. What's this about?" he asked starting to get impatient.
"Well, do you want to wait until the wedding night? Or should we …. You know…. Sooner than that." Winry blushed heavily. She had thought about him in a more intimate way when she was alone. She wondered if he thought of her that way.
It took Edward a minute to figure out what she was talking about. "Oh…ummm.. What do you want to do?" he asked her. He wanted to but he didn't want to pressure her into anything that she wasn't ready for. Winry took a deep breath. The ball was in her court.
"I brought condoms." She said hoping her intent was made clear to him.
'Oh shit! She wants to do this!' He couldn't believe it. They looked deep into each other's eyes. They leaned into each other. Edward paused. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I want to. Do you?" Winry asked.
"Yeah I want….you." Edward closed the distance between them, and kissed her slowly and gently.
It didn't take long for the kissing to intensify. The boundaries were no longer there. She took his hand and placed it on her breast and squeezed his hand. His lips moved to her neck, and she moaned. Winry started to take off his overshirt, and realized she had to get the condoms out of her suitcase before things got too far. She ran to her suitcase and undid the latches. She pulled them out, and opened the box to get one out. Meanwhile Edward took off both his shirts, and started undoing his belt. She put a condom on the nightstand. Winry took off her white belt, and then took off her dress. She got into bed, and Edward followed her in just his boxers.
They laid next to each other, and start kissing again so they would stop thinking about any awkwardness. Their hands roamed each other's bodies in the safe zones that they knew. Edward was feeling her breast through her bra, and she paused to sit up and take it off. He stared at her breasts and noticed she was blushing. He kissed her and gently pressed his hand against her breast. Then their hands went to places that were once forbidden. Edward's hand was on her hip and traveled to between her legs. Winry turned onto her back and took off her panties so that he could truly feel her. He could feel her opening and traced it with his finger. Winry gasped as he explored her. Edward slipped a finger in her. 'She's so warm,' he thought. Edward started pulling and pushing his finger in her in a rhythm.
They only knew what was in books, and what conversations they had with their friends. This was a new learning experience for them both. Winry took his fingers out of her, and placed them on her clitoris. "I like it here." She said and guided his fingers to do circles around her pleasure spot. He watched her as she was getting hotter. Edward was thrilled that he was making her feel this way. Then he felt her hand on his erection through his boxers. He grunted because he wasn't expecting it. He pushed her hand away and took off his boxers. Now they were both nude, and they were so much closer to being one together. They pleased each other with their hands until Winry stopped. "Ed, I want you in me," she said. Ed gulped. This was it, and he had never even put on a condom before.
He got on his knees and reached for the condom. He got in between her legs which she had opened up for him. He fumbled with the condom, and finally slipped it on. Edward positioned himself at her opening, and looked at her to make sure. She nodded at him, and he slipped in her. They both groaned, and Winry had inhaled sharply. They both laid there being still and getting used to being one with each other. Edward started moving in and out in a slow rhythm. Winry laid there and watched him go in and out of her. She couldn't believe that they were actually doing this. She snapped out of her thoughts and started to participate. She moved her pelvis up to meet his, and they found their rhythm. They sped up together. 'Oh fuck! I'm not going to last much longer,' thought Edward. He hated that this was going to end sooner than he wanted. And with a loud grunt, he pushed hard into her a few times releasing his seed. His head fell next to hers, and he took a few deep breaths. She rubbed his back to show that she had enjoyed it.
Edward rose up and kissed her on the lips. She had no idea that she had just given him a wonderful gift. When their lips parted and they opened their eyes, Winry smiled at him. Edward got off of her and threw the condom in the trash. They snuggled in bed, and enjoyed the after sex bliss. "I love you," Edward said as Winry was snuggled in his chest.
"I love you, too," she replied, and with that they fell asleep.
The next morning came, and Edward realized he was already running late to work. In their excitement, he had forgotten to set the alarm. He got dressed quickly, and Winry watched in bed as he dashed around. "Sorry I can't get breakfast with you." He apologized to her.
"It's fine. Do you work tomorrow, too?" Winry asked with the sheet up to cover her breasts.
"Nope, so we can sleep in tomorrow. I'll pick you up at 6," He kissed her goodbye, and rushed to get a cab to work.
Winry got ready and called Mrs. Hughes to see if she wanted to go shopping with her while Elysia was at school. They met at the Hughes home to have coffee before heading out to the shops. "Winry, you look radiant today. You haven't stopped smiling since you got here." Gracia noticed how happy Winry was.
"Well you know, Ed and I haven't seen each other for a few months. And we got to spend time together yesterday." Winry began.
"Aww. Young love is wonderful." Gracia sighed.
Winry smiled at this and she was bursting to tell someone. "Mrs. Hughes you can keep a secret, right?"
"Of course." Gracia leaned forward waiting to hear Winry pour out what was on her mind.
"Edward and I were… intimate yesterday.. for the first time," Winry let it sink in. Gracia only smiled bigger. Winry continued "I know that we were supposed to wait until our wedding night but I needed him to be close to me." Winry's hand was covered by Gracia's.
"Winry, it's okay. Maes and I did that before our wedding, too. And as long as you two are both happy then it's fine. But I promise I won't tell anyone." Winry relaxed until Gracia said "Just don't get pregnant before you start showing at your wedding. Then it's too obvious." Winry turned bright red. "Now let's go get you a dress for your date tonight." Winry jumped up and followed Gracia out the door.
'Oh that's right. This is like a date tonight. I mean we had picnics and nights at the pub and the one restaurant at home but nothing like tonight.' With that thought, Winry was really looking forward to her date with Edward.
Author's note: I don't think Edward would have proposed out of the blue to Winry. I'm pretty sure they had something going on before he left.
