Well, I decided that there will be one more chapter after this. So...this will probably be the 2nd last chapter.

Chapter 8: Confessions
Ed was ecstatic as he got ready for bed, but then realized something. What if Winry found out about the dare and was thought that was the only reason he kissed her? That'd bring some waterworks for sure and that was the last thing he wanted to do.
He headed to her hotel room and knocked on the door. When no one answered for a while he decided that she must be asleep and he'd tell her in the morning. Just as he was turning to leave, he heard the door crack open.
"Ed?" Winry peered through the small crack she had opened. "Sorry I was changing," she said as she noticed he was getting ready to leave.
"Uh, well I have to tell you something," he said trying to sound casual, even though his nervousness shone through like a bald mans' head.
"Oh, well let's talk inside," she gestured for him to come in and opened the door more. He noticed she was in a nightdress that was quite short and blushed.
"About tonight…" he started off saying, " well you know, I should start with the dare Mustang gave me first." Winry nodded as a sign for him to continue.
"Well, he dared me…to kiss you." Winry almost felt like breaking out in tears, but managed somehow to only sob a little. I guess he doesn't really like me after all was what ran through her head for a moment. She began to run out of the room before Ed's hand shot out to catch her.
"Wait, Winry there's something else." As much as Winry wanted to burst out of that room quickly, but decided to hear him out anyways. There's no way he could hurt me even more, right? She asked herself.
"Listen Ed, if you don't like me then you should just say so, you don't have to," she was cut off when Ed pulled her to him for the second time that night and placed his lips on hers.
"Winry, I told you to listen to me, I didn't want you to assume that which is why I'm telling you now. I..I.."
"It's alright if you're uncomfortable saying it Ed, you never were one to express his feelings in words, you're more of a hands on kind of guy." She was pulled into a hug on the bed and let out a few tears.
"What's wrong, Winry?" Ed spotted the tears and stared at her with worry in his eyes.
"It's nothing, Ed. These are tears of happiness...really." Soon Ed and Winry fell asleep with her in his arms.
This was going to be a problem in the morning, but neither had thought about that.
