Disclaimer - post series, so i suppose it could count as a spoiler of sorts. also, i adooooooooooooore al/winry. -insert fangirlish cooing here...not that i actually make that sound, mind you...-

There were times when Al almost honestly wished he was back as a suit of armor. At least suits of armor didn't blush. Honestly, why did Winry have to do things like hold his hand?

Ok, not that he actually minded. Her hands were reassuringly calloused, not at all soft and delicate, which most likely would have made him even more self conscious and unsure. There was something calming about tangible evidence that a girl could take care of herself. Took a lot of the stress off of the male.

It also helped that this was Winry. He had grown up with her. He knew her, had gotten in fights with his brother over who would marry her. The fact that she knewthat made the blush creep back for a moment or two before being fought back by his common sense. She knew that and still she wanted to sit with him in a comfortable silence and watch the pleasantly clear night sky. That was a definite positive reaction.

She didn't mind his silences, the little awkward movements that had become habit, his tentative way of interacting with others. She didn't mind him.

And when her hand moved for a moment, he wanted to sigh, figuring his evening was over. Damn was he wrong. The blush was stunned into submission when she settled her head on his chest with a quiet huff of contentment.

They lay there for hours in the night cool grass behind her house, staring at the sky, neither of them saying anything. Neither of them needed to.

oh man, i been slacking off on responses. this will be long. sorry in advance!

Humor Queen Merc - i am currently playing with the latest bit of crack you have suggested. bwahaha..! there shall be a drabble in the near future for you again!

Psycho 24 - hurrah for lovers of RoyAi! mostly it is a chance for me to write a more awkward, sincere Roy. and i looooove it.

ShenYue - there really is something cute about Havoc/Fury. i was instantly addicted (upon reading Spades 44's drabbles. check them out if you havent!)

Honeywell - you! you were the one who requested the Maes and Elysia fluff, werent you? anyway, the comment you left about the drabbles living on had me laughing for like 10 minutes. thank you!

Arahazi - here is some Al/Winry for you! i am glad you are enjoying the Havoc/Fury. such an adorable couple... though, considering how much i liked writing this Al/Winry one...looks like i have a second set of awkward fluff to work with.

SpinningAvia -sorry to hear you are sick! get better! i demand it! and welcome to the wonderful world of Havoc/Fury addicts. we need little badges...

Lady-Lynne - thank you so much!

Spades 44 - there is something obscenely adorable about someone being kissed on the nose. and it is SO something i can see happening with the two of them. they really are my favorite pair. -stomps on urge to make ambarrassingly cute noises- wish i could draw so as to get some more fanart floating around. ah well. glad you liked that one. i think it was my favorite Havoc/Fury to write as well. if they had gone out i am sure havoc would have been nervous enough to choke on his food. alas, that is the crack for another drabble...
the lj is fireun. i think i left that in a review for you...cant remember...too tired...

Animegoil - i think he was being blunt because i see him as losing alot of that suave elegance when dealing with hawkeye. i like to think he likes her enough to lose a bit of that preternatural suave coolness. takes him down a peg or three. makes him more human. which is what i see hawkeye liking in him. then again, that could just be me. -sweatdrop-

Roane the Alchemist - drabbles are supposed to be wee little short pieces of fic, i was told once they are 100 word pieces. as you can see...i dont really stick to that...i did try for awhile...then gave up.

Alaunt Mistress - hullo! glad you enjoy the drabbles! i try to update every day. really i do. sometimes it works out...anyway, welcome, keep in touch, and enjoy the insanity!

Mortari - i was wondering where you got your name from! awesome! heh, if i made you go 'awww' i consider my work here done! hurrah!

love you all! thanks for all the fantastic reviews-fireun
