A/N: Sorry about the non-updatey-ness… / Baaaad month for me. Problems. Meh. You know how it is, angsty teens of the world. :nods:
10. Lust x Winry – Understand
It's amazing who you'll run into on the streets in Central.
You might run into a military officer – the most likely person you'll bump into. You might run into a hobo. You may even run into a homunculi…
Now don't ask me what a homunculi is, I don't know. I tried asking Ed once, but he just gave me this really dull explanation about stuff I didn't understand or care about. Yawn. His alchemy talk is so boring, I don't see why he doesn't take up a useful hobby like mechanics. Then maybe he could fix his own arm the next time it breaks…
But the other day, I did run into one of these "homunculus" things. She was very beautiful – tall, thin, well-endowed, dark hair and most gorgeous dress I had ever seen. Is it wrong of me to say I fell in love with her?
No, not love… More like "fascination". You know, the same kind of fascination I hold for all things mechanical. That, I suppose, has to be some kind of love. Unhealthy? Maybe. Obsessive? Sure. Not like I care. All I know is that I really liked the homunculus woman.
Of course, at the time I ran into her, I didn't know she was a homunculus. It took her about three minutes for her to tell me what she was. I only blinked and nodded; remember, I don't know what homunculi are. I don't care, either. If she was still that intriguingly beautiful and she were a troll, I wouldn't care. I'd love – er, be fascinated with – her no matter what.
So we got to talking. Small talk, mostly. Random jibber-jabber about things like where I lived, what I liked to do, if I had a boyfriend or not. I said no. Neither did she. I was surprised, she looked like the sort of woman who would have seven or eight guys hanging onto her legs at any given moment.
Then again, maybe she didn't swing that way… I know I didn't. I'll never understand men, so I just choose to ignore them. Same way I ignore Ed and his alchemy talk – two things I don't understand rolled into one: Men and alchemy.
But these homunculus people I think I can understand. They're just like us – smart, funny, attractive – and this one was a woman. I think I'll grow to understand her quite a bit…

A/N: Hahaha, yay! I think I really like Winry as a lesbian…
