Poetic License

Disclaimer: Again, I do not own Full Metal Alchemist or the characters. Ever.

Pairing: EdxWinry

Edward Elric. Fullmetal Alchemist. Hero of the people. And hopelessly in love, whether he could admit it or not. He glared at the blue country sky, cursing God for making himself so weak to her charm. He had started to notice her more now. The light cascade of blonde over sleek pale shoulders, shining like the finest silk even in the poor light of night. She was like an angel, one that he wanted so desperately to touch and to hold, but the weight of his sin kept him from reaching out to her. But even still she was his redemption. Even though he hated his automail, a constant reminder of his mistake in trying to play God, he couldn't imagine living without them. And she made them for him. Lovingly made to perfection, polished and oiled to the up most care just for him. Why did such an angel grace him with her love?

"Gah, when did I start thinking so poetically? Damn it, Winry, what are you doing to me!" He cursed to himself, folding his arms behind his head as he tried to think of other things. Like how to kill Roy. Yes, that was always fun. But then his mind wandered to her again. Her bright blue eyes, filled with hope and happiness-

"GOD DAMN IT!" Edward shouted out, sitting up in a fit of irritation. "Soon I'll be thinking about her breasts…" (They are nice, just the right size to fit into my hand, not too big, not too small-) "AHH! I'm getting to be worse then Roy!" He furiously began to bang his fists upon his head, trying to knock out his dirty thoughts. Or knock himself out. Whichever came first.

"Ed, what are you doing?" Winry's voice broke through the sound of metal clanging against bone, causing him to turn his head.

"Oh, hi Winry. Just sorting through some… inner demons." He said, laughing sheepishly. Winry's eyes ran him up and down, checking to see if he caused any other damage to himself.

"Well don't do that. You'll damage your automail against your hard head." Winry said teasingly, waving a scolding finger before tuning around. "Shorty."

"WHAT! WHO ARE YOU CALLING TINY, SHRIMP, PINT-SIZED, SMALLER THEN A BLADE OF CUT GRASS MIGET!" He screamed out, chasing after her.

It was night now, and Winry was cleaning the kitchen. Edward was, as usual, reading a book on alchemy, his eyes focused as Al helped Aunt Pinako sweep the floors. It was pleasantly quiet, it was raining softly outside, the drops kissing the clean glass of the windows with loud smacks. (What funny lovers, I hope Edward's kisses are not as loud, or messy. And I definitely wouldn't want him to be as promiscuous as rain too.) She mentally slapped herself. What was she thinking? When had she been so eloquent with her words? There she went again! She gave a loud sigh and gazed out to the dark sky. It had drifted off to a drizzle, and the moon was shining brightly, a golden orb among all the dark. (Like his eyes… He always is so sullen, and his eyes shine with hurt under his mask. How long are you going to keep up this masquerade? When will you realize, when it comes down to it, I will still love-) Whoa, love was too strong of a word to use, even if it was in her imagination. Sure she had a huge crush on Ed, but it wasn't likely he returned her feelings. He was wallowing in his own self pity too much to notice her, trying to save him from drowning in hatred.

"There I go again…" She muttered to herself, knocking herself on the side of the head softly before she dried her hands.

"Hmm? Did you say something Winry?" Edward said, his eyes not leaving his book.

"Nothing. Do you want to go outside Ed? It's stopped raining." She was already pulling on her jacket, when she heard the book slap closed.

"I suppose." Was his short answer, as he went over to the door, swinging it open for her.

"Thank you Ed, such a gentleman." She said teasingly, poking his nose playfully as she walked down the steps to the soft, and very soggy, earth. Ed reluctantly followed suit, making a mental note to clean his boots in the morning. Winry walked a ways and then took a seat on the muddy grass, her face contorting in discomfort, for the cold water was beginning to seep past her jeans ant to her panties. Then, suddenly, Edward's jacket was laid beside her, him taking a seat at one end while she scooted over to protect what she could from the frigid puddles. They both just stared for a while, the cool summer air whistling a soft tune to the trees who patiently listened.

"GAH!" They both said at the same time, banging their heads. Then they stopped. Winry was the first to sheepishly gaze at the blushing alchemist beside her, he soon turning to her.

"Wind whistling, how stupid is that." She said, a small shade of crimson crossing her cheeks.

"Not as bad as tree's listening." Edward said, scratching the back of his head. He shivered, a little, the wind's soft kisses causing goose bumps to rise on his bare arm. Then his face flushed to a bright red, as Winry let her lips brush over his shoulder. "Ah, Winry! What are you doing!" Ed choked out, even though he didn't pull away. (I shouldn't have worn my sleeveless shirt today, but no, it had to be hot…) He cursed to himself, his eyes focused on Winry's.

"I can't let the wind have all my fun , now can I?" She said, the crimson of her cheeks growing darker, the night as doing nothing to hide her red face. Ed sat for a moment, in shock. When her words sunk in, he began trying to collect himself, trying to figure out what to do next. But Winry sent his mind into oblivion, her kisses now landing on his hot cheek. "Warm as the sun's smiling face." She whispered in his ear.

"Well, fair moonlight's maiden, how would you know, for you far outshine the sun." He said, retaliating as they continued to play their word game under night's quiet shelter.

I luff you guys! –hugs-

C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only- I will add more smut in the future, and as for your requet, I'll try to do it, but do you have any idea how hard those are to do! And pull off well! I will try for the sake of my fans though. But I might make another one before I get around to it.
