KC: Yay! Another chapter is here:dances:
UC: Yuppers, but first I'd like to apologize. You see, this story is a little strange. It's a crossover between Fullmetal Alchemist and one of my sister's stories that she has been working on. That is where Minako and Tori came from. I do know that FMA takes place in the early 1900's and the only cars they are allowed to own are black. Tori and Minako come from a different place and are from our time. Minako can bend time and space which I will mention in this chapter. How Winry met these two strange individuals, I'm still working on it. They car that they are driving is a car that they had stolen from their teacher at their school. When I put that they live in Japan I was thinking more about where Minako and Tori live than where Fullmetal Alchemist takes place. I do know that they live in Amestris. However, Tori and Minako live in Chiba, Japan. Sorry for any confusions that this might have caused. Gomen:bows politely:
KC: Wow:blinks: You had a lot to say, didn't you?
UC: Yeah, I guess so. I just thought I should say also that if you flamed me for any of those reasons, I roasted marshmallows on those flames. :giggles: I know, I'm very strange. Now, here's the third chapter.
KC: Yay:dances:
Chapter 3: Those Three Little Words
Disclaimer: Hiromu Arakawa owns Fullmetal Alchemist, not me.
Everyone walked inside and sat down at Winry's dining room table. There was an awkward silence and Edward felt he had to break it, so he did.
"So, where are you two from?" he asked politely.
"Chiba, Japan," Minako replied cheerfully.
"How is that possible? We live in Amestris so how in the world did you get here?" asked Edward.
"Oh! We didn't tell you, did we? We're magical beings. Not only am I a flame alchemist, I can bend time and space as well," Minako informed Edward.
"Oh, that's... strange," Edward said still a little bit puzzled.
Minako smiled warmly with her big brown eyes wide awake and alert. Suddenly her pocket started ringing. Minako looked down and pulled her cell phone out. Edward looked very confused once more.
"What is that thing?" he asked.
"Oh, this? This is my cell phone."
"What is a cell phone?" Edward asked awkwardly.
Winry just sat there and giggled since Minako had already explained everything to her. Winry thought it was so cute how Edward was just as curious as a child about four years of age.
"It's kinda like the phones that you have here, except there's no cord, you can take it with you, and you press buttons instead of turning a dial," Minako replied happy to answer all of Edward's questions.
Edward nodded and smiled. Minako answered the phone.
"Hello?" A pause. "Oh, Jukado sensei! What a surprise!" Another pause. "No, I didn't take your car. Where on Earth did you get that idea?" She sounded nervous. Then she paused once more. "Well, I gotta go! See ya later! Bye!" Beep, she hung up. "That was a close one," Minako said slowly sinking in here chair and rubbing her head as if she had a headache. She quickly snapped out of it and got right back to her conversation with Edward.
"So, how long have you two been a couple?" she asked suddenly.
"Two months!" yelled Winry.
"Three weeks!" yelled Edward. They had both yelled it at the exact same time.
Winry laughed nervously. "Uh... two months and three weeks," she said still nervous.
"Wow, you guys must be perfect for each other to stay together that long," said Minako dreamily.
Winry blushed at the thought of really being a couple with Edward.
"Hey, Tori, how about we date?" Minako asked.
"No," Tori answered blankly.
"Oh! You're so cold, Tori-kun," squealed Minako sticking her tongue out once more like a little kid.
"That's how I roll," said Tori jokingly.
Winry giggled and looked over at Edward longingly.
"Well, we'd better get going," said Minako standing up. "Come on Tori!" She walked over to Winry and gave her a hug goodbye. "Bye bye, Winry."
Tori put up his hand as if to say, "See ya!"
"I guess I can count on a detention from Jukado on Monday for stealing her car," said Minako laughing.
Winry and Edward laughed too as they waved goodbye. Minako drove away just as reckless as ever with Tori in the front seat and soon they had disappeared into the distance. Winry turned to Edward and smiled. Edward returned the smile and turned to go back home.
"Edward," Winry called after him.
Edward turned around and looked at her. "What is it?" he asked kindly.
"I... uh... never mind," Winry replied softly.
"Okay then. See ya later, Winry," he smiled and walked slowly away.
Winry waved and started to cry softly. Soon Edward was out of sight and Winry's tears got bigger. "Why can't you just tell him, you idiot!" she yelled at herself. " Tell him you love him! She sat down on the porch and buried her head into her knees and cried louder. Suddenly she looked up and a soft white snow flake fell softly on her nose. She wiped the tears off her face and felt herself shivering ever so slightly. She got up and walked inside. "I love you, Edward," she whispered to herself. She got her coat and ran out the door as quickly as she could and soon she was gone.
Edward was finally well into central as it started to snow all around him. He remembered his talk with Mustang and decided to go finish that talk. Edward saw Fury and asked if Roy was in his office. Fury smiled at the young alchemist and nodded. Fury was one of the people who knew how Roy really felt about Edward. Fury thought it was cute. The young blond thanked him and walked off. He knocked on the door quietly.
"Come in," said Roy.
Edward walked in quietly. "Yo," he said as he entered.
"Oh, what a pleasant surprise. Hello, Fullmetal," said the ebony eyed man happily.
"I was just around so I figured we could finish our talk from the other day."
"Of course we can. Please, sit down." Edward sat on the couch and looked up at Roy. "Okay, shoot," he said as he waited for Roy to start.
Roy took in a deep breath and looked Edward straight in the eye.
"I... I love you, Edward Elric," Roy said gently and passionately.
Edward's mouth gaped as he sat there in astonishment. How could this be? Suddenly Edward was feeling very strange. Was this strange feeling, love for Roy? Could it be that Edward had loved Roy this whole time but never said anything about it or even knew it himself? He really didn't know. Roy was still looking at the golden eyed boy. "Well?" Mustang questioned.
"I... I've got to go home and think about this!" said Edward still astonished. And with that, he rushed out the door. As Edward was walking home it snowed harder. As he shivered from the cold he could only feel Roy wrap his hands around his waist and hear the tall man's voice saying, I keep you warm, Fullmetal. What were these feelings? Over and over he tried to get Roy out of his head but he couldn't. Edward arrived at his and Alphonse's apartment and slammed the door. He lit a fire in the fireplace and lied on the couch. Alphonse must have been preoccupied by something since he hadn't come to greet his brother at the door. Roy loved Edward! What should he do? He still couldn't get that man out of his mind. In the warmness of the blazing fire he felt as if Roy was laying next to him and holding him as tight as he could. Edward almost drifted to sleep when he heard a loud banging on the door. He walked over and opened it to see a rosy cheeked, red nosed Winry Rockbell standing before him. He pulled her inside. She was breathing hard from running all the way from Resembool.
"Winry, are you crazy? it's freezing out there and it's 9:00 p.m."
Winry held her hand to her heart and clenched it into a fist knowing what she had to do. "Edward, you were so nice to pretend to be my boyfriend and I really enjoyed it. Would you please be my real boyfriend?"
Edward gave her a look of shock.
"What did you say?"
"I LOVE YOU, EDWARD ELRIC! Please, be my real boyfriend!"
Edward had been friends with Winry since they were children. He never wanted to see her cry and he didn't want to see her cry now. Right now, Edward knew that if he rejected Winry he would have to see her cry and he didn't want to bear it.
"Winry?" Edward asked softly.
Winry looked up at Edward with big shining eyes of hope.
"I... I will be your boyfriend," he stated kindly.
Winry's eyes got even bigger and filled with happiness and Edward could see that. He smiled because she was smiling and then Winry kissed him on the cheek and he pulled her into a hug.
He thought to himself, What am I doing? I know that I'm gay and I might even love Roy Mustang. I can't go out with Winry. But, I don't want her to be sad.
Winry held on to Edward tighter and she whispered with her head on his chest, "I love you Edward Elric."
