Summer
Alphonse went to check the mail and brought in 3 letters each addressed to their individual selves. They each opened their letters and found invitations to Major Armstrong's birthday party in Central. "We have to go! It'll be so much fun!" Winry said.
"Ugh… it's Semi Formal dress code." Edward complained. He rolled his eyes as he sat down on the couch. Edward was not a fan of a dress code.
"It's nice to get dressed up every once in a while. We don't get to do that here." Winry smacked his shoulder. She actually liked the idea of being dressed up and going out for a classy evening.
"Come on brother. It'll be fun to see everyone." Al was trying to persuade Edward to go. A trip to Central for pleasure rather than work was appealing.
"Fine, we'll go." Edward gave in. It would be nice for everyone to see how much Al had recovered. He looked pretty skinny the last time that their comrades had seen him.
A month later, they boarded a train to Central, and decided to go a few days before to take advantage of doing things in Central that they couldn't do at home. Plus, Winry had to buy a dress, and Al had to get a suit that fit him. After they had finished shopping and dinner, Edward wanted to take them somewhere, but he wouldn't tell them where. He led them down the street and around the corner to a movie theater. The trio were excited to go into a movie theater for the first time. They bought candy and drinks. They sat down and Al noticed it was all couples. 'Aww man. I hate being the third wheel.'
Edward and Winry didn't notice. Once the lights were out, Winry looped her arm through Edward's and snuggled into his shoulder. Edward blushed and glanced at Al to make sure he wasn't looking but the lights were off, so it made him feel more at ease. He leaned his head on hers for a little while. Eventually they sat up and just held hands while watching the movie.
When they got back to the hotel, Al stopped them before going to their rooms for the night. "Listen, I feel like I crashed your date tonight." He confessed to them.
Winry stopped him "Not at all! We don't feel like that." Winry didn't want Al to feel guilty. She wanted them all to have a good time.
"Yeah Al. We want you to have fun, too. "Edward told him. The last thing he wanted was for his brother to feel left out.
"But you two haven't really been able to go on a date. We don't have stuff like this at home. So, I want to offer you something. If you two want to share a room, then I won't tell Granny." Their eyes went wide as his offer settled in. "Think about it." Al said and went into his room.
Winry lead Edward into her room. She didn't want to talk about this in the hallway. "So do you want to sleep in here?" She asked while looking down.
Edward put his hand behind his head. "Well, do you want me to?" Of course, he would leave it up to her. He didn't want to put any pressure on her.
"I brought the condoms." Winry said while blushing and still looking down.
"Oh" Edward blushed more and his eyes grew wide. "I'll go get my stuff."
Edward walked back into Al's room, and started gathering his things. "You really don't mind, right?" he asked Al.
"What? I think I got a good deal. I don't get to hear you snore tonight." They both chuckled and Edward was about to leave.
"Thanks Al." He said right before walking out the door. Edward was nervous but he wanted to be with her. This opportunity doesn't come up very often.
Edward knocked on Winry's door and she opened it. She smiled at him and let him in. He set his stuff down on the sofa, and sat on the bed next to her. She had already placed the condoms on the bedside table. 'This is it. This is the night.' She thought. Winry turned to look at his face and leaned in to kiss him. She put her arms around his broad shoulders and he put his hands on her waist. It started off sweet but the passion grew more. He pulled away from her lips and moved to her neck. She moaned quietly while rubbing his back. She pulled her hands away and pulled her shirt up over her head. Winry wanted to move things forward. He took off his over shirt and his t shirt. They kissed more passionately until she fell back on the bed. He followed her lead and kissed her while laying on top of her. He dragged her bra down below her breasts and started kissing them. "Hold on," she said. She sat up and unhooked her bra and took if off. He went back to kissing her breasts while she moaned. Winry started feeling for his erection through his pants. She found it and stroked him. He groaned into her breasts.
Winry started unzipping his pants when he paused. "Wait," he said. She looked up at him.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to?", she asked, sounded almost hurt. They were so close to doing this.
"I do. Believe me I do but I don't want to people to think I take advantage of you because we live together. I want you to be able to hold your head up high." Edward sighed on the last part.
Winry was kind of disappointed but thought about it. She had to pick her words carefully. "That's really honorable. I like that about you. I never thought about it that way."
Winry thought how she could turn this around and came up with an idea that might satisfy them both. "What about we do something intimate but still keep my 'honor' intact?" she asked. He looked intrigued. She laid down. She took his hand and put it under her skirt and pressed it against her underwear. "We can feel each other." He was amazed by how warm she felt. She lifted her pelvis and slid her skirt down along with her panties. She was naked before him. He took off his remaining clothes too. They laid next to each other and kissed and felt each other. She laid on her back and she slid his hand to clitoris and rubbed circles. She let him go and his hand took over rubbing her. Then he slid his hand down and stuck one finger in her. Winry's folds were warm and wet. He got to his hands and knees and went down the bed so that he could see her folds. He stuck 2 fingers in. She gasped and he looked up at her face. She looked wonderful with her head leaning back. He then found her clitoris and put his mouth on it. He flicked it with his tongue. She was writhing under him. She wanted more. He did circles with his tongue on her clitoris, and moved his fingers in and out. She moaned loudly while she grabbed her breasts. Edward kept doing this until she begged him to kiss her. "Come kiss me." He moved up to the pillows and laid next to her. They kissed and she started feeling her clitoris and he kept moving his fingers in and out until she felt her release. He felt her walls squeeze his fingers over and over until he slid them out.
When Winry caught her breath, she started stroking him. "It's your turn." She smiled.
"You don't have to if you don't to." Edward told her. He didn't want her to do anything that was too uncomfortable for her.
"But I want to." She pushed him on his back and moved down the bed. She straddled one leg and took his erection into her mouth. She slid up and down while Edward groaned. He wanted to push into her, but he kept control of himself. "Oh fuck." Ed groaned. She moved faster and fondled his testicles. "Win…..I'm about to."
Winry pulled off. "It's fine." And she took him back in her mouth and kept sliding her mouth up and down his length. He groaned hard and then she felt warmth in her mouth. She took her mouth off and found more coming out, so she licked the rest off of him. Winry made her way up to lay next to him. They snuggled up next to each other and relaxed from their ecstasy.
"Fuck. That was incredible." Edward said.
"You're so romantic." She said and giggled into his arms. They held each other finding comfort and peace.
The next day Edward couldn't keep the grin off of his face. He didn't even complain when they got ready to go to the party at the Armstrong estate. They arrived and the young men looked handsome in their suits, and Winry looked lovely in her new violet dress. They found their table, which also had Roy, Riza, Jean, Rebecca, Sheska, Izumi, and Sig sitting at it. "Teacher, what are you doing here?" Edward asked surprised to see them.
"Sig and Alex became really good friends. Something to do with bonding over muscles. And who is this young lady?" She shook hands with Winry.
"I'm Winry. I'm Ed's girlfriend." Winry beamed when she said it. She was so proud to be with him.
"You have strong hands." Izumi noted.
"I'm an automail mechanic. So you were Ed's teacher?" Winry asked.
"Yes! And I have some embarrassing stories about Edward." Izumi told Winry. She had helped raise the Elric brothers.
"So do I! We grew up together!" Winry told her. And they went on talking about embarrassing stories about Edward.
"At least they hit it off" Alphonse told Edward.
"I wish they had never met." Edward said as Winry and Izumi shared stories with the rest of the table.
Winry went to get a drink and Riza followed her. "So you and Edward are dating?" Riza asked her.
"Yep. We've been officially dating for a year now." Winry confirmed. Riza smiled.
"Good, I'm glad that you two finally found some happiness. You both deserve it." Riza told her. Winry smiled.
"What about you Ms. Hawkeye? Have you found someone?" Winry asked as she sipped her drink.
"I have though we have to keep it secret for now unless the rules change." Riza told Winry. Winry knew who she came with.
"I won't say anything." Winry told her. She knew that Riza and Roy had to keep their relationship a secret.
The major came out and went around and greeted everyone. He held the Elrics in each of his arms and almost hugged them to death. Then he took Winry by the hands and greeted her gently. Louis Armstrong told her "Ms. Rockbell, I am so glad that you came, and I see you've taken such good care of these boys."
"They're a handful. Thank you for inviting us." Winry replied.
After dinner and light conversation, the dancing began. Winry watched people dance and hoped Edward would ask her. Alphonse took Sheska out onto the floor, and they watched as other couples began to get up from their table. Edward knew what she wanted but also knew that he did not dance well, especially to this music. It was different from the music in the pub. A slow song came on. That he could pull off. "You wanna dance?" he squeaked in the middle of asking her.
"Sure." Winry said nonchalantly as if she hadn't been waiting a while. He took her hand and went to the floor. With one hand on her waist, and the other holding her hand, they swayed back and forth. He whispered in her ear
"Sorry I suck at this." Edward told her. She smiled up at him.
"I think you're doing fine." Winry told him. After the slow song was over, they danced to some of the faster ones, and enjoyed themselves.
The night ended. Edward and Winry went back to their room, while Al went to his. They were all exhausted from dancing and eating too much. "It was fun seeing so many people. We haven't seen a lot of them in so long." Winry said as she got under the bed covers.
"I know. It was awesome." Edward said. They laid in bed in their pajamas. They were both too tired to do anything else but maybe they might have more energy in the morning.
"Good night." Winry said and leaned in to him so that he would have to meet her halfway for a good night kiss.
"Good night" he said back and kissed her sweetly and held it for a little bit. Then he pulled away. She turned around and he laid his arm around her belly to snuggle her while she slept. Winry smiled and laid her hand on his. 'It's like we're married.' She thought and then she was thinking about what if they did get married one day.
Author's note: This is a long chapter! But it was fun. I liked bringing more the Central characters in.
