Ch. 5: Spending time together
"Are you starting to get warm, Winry?"
"I'm doing good." After Ed had gathered enough wood and started a fire, both Ed and Winry sat around the fire trying to get warm.
As time passed by, Ed took his, now dry, red jacket and placed it around Winry's shoulders. "Here," Ed said while sitting back down. "Just in case if you're still cold."
"Thanks, Ed," Winry thanked while looking at the fire with sad eyes.
"Look, Winry, I'm really sorry about your party," Ed said while looking at Winry with a sad voice. "I didn't mean to ruin your day."
"It's okay, Ed," Winry said while looking at Ed with a warm smile. "I'm just sad because of Robert. I thought he was such a nice guy, but it turns out that he was just ajerk."
"I think I know WHERE I heard the name 'Valentine' before," Ed said all of a sudden.
"Huh?"
"One time when I was little, there was this guy named Valentine that tried to attack my dad while we were on vacation in a place outside of Resembool. He wanted to kill my dad because he REALLY wanted to marry my mom. But instead of him marrying her, my dad came in."
"What happened?' Winry asked.
"Well, my dad didn't fight the guy but he just knocked him unconscious and we left," Ed said. "If what you said about them moving into Resembool after me and Al left, then that means that they were planning to move once I left."
"I see..." Winry said.
"I need to ask you something, Winry," Ed said. "Did you really like Robert? You know...before you found out that he was a jerk?"
"Like Robert?" Winry asked. "Ed, of course I DIDN'T like Robert. I mean, the only reason I hung around him was because I was his first friend in Resembool. I had absolutely no feelings for Robert andI never will.Why?"
"No reason," Ed said while turning away and blushing. "It's just that you guys seemed so close and all…"
"Yeah, but not as close as us, Ed," Winry said while showing up in Ed's face. "Were you jealous?"
"So what if I was?" Ed slipped out of his mouth, then realizing what he just said.
"So does that mean that you like me, shorty?" Winry asked.
"Dammit! Stop calling me small! Of course I like you!" Ed shouted in anger, then realizing again that something had slipped out of his mouth again. Knowing he had to say his sentence over again in a nice way, he coughed and started over again. "Okay, so you knew that I liked you."
"Why didn't you ever tell me?" Winry asked. "Don't you know that I like you, too?"
"You do!" Ed exclaimed while blushing rapidly. "The only reason I didn't tell you was because I thought you liked Robert!"
"I've liked you ever since we were kids, Ed," Winry said. "It looks like somebody needs to get their eyes checked."
"Are you warm enough?"
"What?"
"Are you warm enough that you don't need the fire?" Ed asked. "If you're warm enough, then I could put out the fire and we could wait by the river so someone can actually spot us."
"Okay," Winry said while walking towards the river side. "I'll be waiting."
After Ed had finished putting out the fire, Ed sat himself next to Winry and put his human arm around her while they were looking at the river. "Here, Winry," Ed said while pulling out a small box from his pocket. "I don't know if it's wet or not."
"What is it, Ed?" Winry asked while opening the box. "Oh, Ed…"
When Winry opened Ed's box, she found a silver heart necklace with a silver chain. "Thank you, Ed," Winry said while hugging Ed. Once Winry looked up at Ed, he used his thumb and index finger to move Winry's chin and kissed it. To both of them, it felt like they were both on Cloud 9.
"Happy Birthday, Winry," Ed said while breaking away from Winry's tender lips. "I love you."
"I love you, too, Ed," Winry said while hugging Ed. "This has to be the best birthday I've ever had."
