I'll Always be Here
(Winry's POV)
He's here again today. But then, he always comes here. Every time, I yell at him. Every time, he hears me. Every time, he comes back for repairs. I tell him again be careful and not to damage the automail but will he listen? Of course not.
Of course, he's always that way. I should know because I've known him since we were kids. His not listening got him into trouble as well. The day he and Al tried human alchemy and almost got themselves killed I think made Ed realize that he ought to listen to why certain things are forbidden.
But then, as I repair him again, I think that that's maybe one of the reasons I love him so. I've always loved Ed. Even when we were young, I loved him. Al is more like a brother to me but Ed is the one I love. Why? I don't know. Maybe it's because I pity him so. After all, his father left when he was young, his mother died and then he almost lost Al. He himself would have died if Al hadn't carried him over so grandmother and I could repair him.
That of course led him and Al to search for the Philosopher's stone and join the army as a state alchemist. I've never liked the army but I guess I can't complain too much about it now considering that's where Ed's getting all his information. I get scared when he leaves because I never know when I'm going to see him again. Or even if I'll see him again.
I always yell at him for getting injured but in truth, I like it because it gives me a chance to see how he's doing. A chance for me to see him. He comes back because he knows he can depend on me to repair him. And I'll always be here for him.
But I wonder... does he know that? And as I watch him leave, I grab his arm.
"Ed," I say.
He turns and looks at me stunned. "What is it?"
I reach towards him and embrace him and whisper. "I'll always be here for you, Ed, you know that?"
Ed nods toward me and smiles. "Always Winry?"
I smile back. "Always."
Ed smiles again and then leaves with Al.
Maybe it's wishful thinking to think he loves me. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. I hope he does. Maybe one day he'll come to see me not only for repairs but because he wants to.
Until then...
I'll always be here for him.
AN: yeah, it probably sucks but will ya'll leave me a little review please? It encourages me, it really does. Till next time!
