Firefly
He stood by, looking at her. Gazing at her. He didn't know why. Maybe it was because he had stumbled by on accident and found her here; maybe he was just curious and wanted to know why she was here in the first place. Whatever it was, he was completely subdued to just watch her. He found it peculiar though; how he was staring at this girl he had known practically his whole life like she was the only good thing to set eyes upon in this world.
Little lights from the fireflies fluttered around her, twinkling like the stars wheeling overhead. The moonlight glimmered on her face, bringing it more depth as it glistened on her flawless skin. Smiling, she jumped around, extending her hand to a firefly in an attempt to catch one. Even though the bug flew out of her grasp, her smile never ceased, never faded. Edward was sure that he didn't need to go to Heaven to see an angel; he was gazing at one right now.
"Edward?" she called, looking suddenly at him. It was so unexpected that almost lost his balance and he nearly fell over into the bush next to him. She grinned.
"What are you doing out here?" she asked, stepping over to him with a smirk. "Spying on me, were you?"
"No, of course not," he straightened up from his slight blunder. "I was just- just... taking a walk. Besides, what are you doing out here?" He asked, although it was already evident why.
"Well, I was just trying to catch a firefly," she replied with a sidelong smile. "I know I'm a little too old now to even try, but I couldn't help myself."
"Oh," was all he could think of to say as he shoved his hands into his pockets for better use of them.
"It's getting late," Winry said after a moment of silence. "We should head back now..."
"Yeah," he agreed, nodding his head. "Yeah, I guess we should."
They started their way back towards the house, neither speaking since they couldn't think of anything to say to the other. Half-way there, Edward broke the stillness.
"Winry?" he squeaked out much to his horror.
"Yeah?" she turned towards him. He wasn't looking at her, but sincerity was in his voice as he said,
"You're...you're pretty when you smile."
