Hi guys! Am back! Well, at the moment, I'm listening to Ready, Steady Go! Waha.. I love your cd Laur! Thanks a lot! Anyway, here's the next part!
The sun rose and there was light, even if in only small amount, Riza woke up. She's usually a day person, who wakes up very early. When she opened her eyes to look at the window, she noticed Roy had his hands around her. She was so shocked that she didn't know what to do. It was awkward so Riza decided to kick Roy out of the bed, but before she can do that, Roy started to sleep talk…
"Riza… I love you… and I'll forever be here for you."
Riza was shocked. Roy did tell the truth to her, he didn't lie about the "love". It proved once and for all that Roy needed her.
In the mean time, at Winry's room, when she woke up, she screamed, seeing that her face is near Ed's and that she was hugging him!
"Wah! What did you do to me Ed! You pervert!" said Winry throwing everything in her room to Ed while blushing.
Ed of course woke up already because of the pain of her screaming and the falling things.
"What did I do to you! Make me sleep in peace woman!" Ed yelled.
"What do you mean? You don't know? When I woke up, I was sleeping beside you, at the mattress not at my bed! What did you do to me! Am I still a virgin? I'm too young!" Winry said loudly, starting to cry.
"Don't worry, I think I didn't do anything to you, but I didn't put you on the mattress, I slept just after you slept!" Ed said blushing.
Then, someone knocked at the door. It was everybody, Al, grandma, Roy and Riza. They heard a scream and decided to go in to see what's wrong. "What happened?" all said.
"I think Ed took advantage of me!" Winry said to them, crying all over her grandmother.
"It's not what you think! When I woke up, she was already there! I don't know how she got there beside me! Believe me guys!" Ed said waving his arms.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Al said.
"Alphonse? But why would you do such thing?" the grandmother said.
"Uh… I just wanted to bring Ed and Winry together! That's all!" Al said in a guilty voice.
"There! You see! It's not my fault! It's not that I blame it on Al! But don't cry anymore Winry! I hate it when you cry okay?" Ed said.
"Okay Ed… I'm sorry, it's just I'm not ready for those kind of stuff yet!" Winry said as she ran to Ed and hugged him.
That may be a warm hug, but her words saying that she wasn't ready for those kind of stuff made Ed's heart break into pieces.
Ed's POV"She doesn't like me? Is that what it means? Oh man, I'm such an idiot. I'm sooo an idiot!" Ed said in his head.
Suddenly, another voice came out from his head.
"Tell her! Or it might be too late! Maybe you're just misinterpreting it!"
"What do you mean! I already got busted! I haven't even told you and I'm busted! What more if I tell her!" Ed argued.
"Then things may be clarified! Go on Ed!"
End of POV"I have to go somewhere, you guys eat already." By that Ed ran as fast as he could to her mother's grave.
They all started to eat but Winry couldn't even eat her food, even a bite.
"What's wrong Winry? Is it about Ed?" Al asked.
"Don't be ridiculous! Why would I be worried about Ed! He can take care of himself!" Winry said smiling.
Al also noticed that Hawkeye wasn't touching her food, she's just staring at it, so he thought he should ask her what's the matter, but when he was about to, she said "I'll go out for a second to freshen up!" with a fake smile.
"Riza! What's wrong? Are you okay?" Roy asked pulling her hand.
"I'm okay, I'm just gonna miss this place, please excuse me." Riza said leaving the room.
Now Roy couldn't eat his food, which made Al not eat too, because he was too concerned about everybody's actions. He thought if what he and Ed have done was wrong. If bringing people together are bad. Suddenly, his questioned was answered after eating. Roy went out to talk to Riza so he followed creeping in the bushes.
"Riza what's wrong?" Roy said.
"I just found out you loved me…" Riza said.
"But I told you days ago, why are you acting like this only now?" Roy said puzzled.
"Because I, just.. thought that was a joke… I didn't take it that serious.. but now, I know the truth… that you really do love me… and now, I don't know how to react and tell you what I feel…" Riza said. "I told you to give me some time and space, but I never really thought that you would really love me.
Roy walked closer to her and hugged her. "Remember in the rain at that moment when you hugged me and I confessed? My words there were all true, you said that if you love me back is both important to me and you, well tell me why it is important?" Roy asked.
Riza released his hug, and walked a few steps. "It's important because it's my feelings, if I love you back…"Riza said.
"Then, what are your feelings Riza? Please tell me, I'll accept any answer, may it be good for me or bad." Roy said willingly.
"I, I…still…don't know…" Riza said..
"It's okay, but Riza, your birthday's coming up tomorrow right? Will you please tell me your answer then? Please?" Roy asked in a straight face.
"Okay.." Riza said.
Roy walked passed her and went to find Ed. After him leaving her, Riza knelt down on the ground, not caring that it was dirty. She then cried and cried, not noticing Al was still watching. He then approached her and helped her recover.
"I'm sorry to spy on you and Mustang, but what do you really feel about him? Are you just confused or you don't want to tell your feelings Ms. Hawkeye?" Al asked.
"I'm sorry Al, I can't answer that question." Riza said wiping her tears.
"It's okay, but you have to tell him the truth tomorrow? Why don't you tell me, so that you'll be prepared for tomorrow? Come on Ms. Hawkeye? Don't you like him, or do you? Think about it, you've been with him for years, protecting him all of your life, since you knew him. Why do you do it? Why do you care so much about him? If you do that for your job, does that mean he isn't anything to you? Is he only your boss?" Al said emotionally.
"It's not that Alphonse… I protect him, because he protects me, I care for him because he cares for me… and.. I… I… love him because he loves me…for me.." Riza said, crying on the suit of armor.
They didn't know two more people were still listening. One was Winry, who was supposed to call everybody and go with them to the train station back to Central.
"Ms. Hawkeye? Are you okay? Don't worry, just tell him the truth." Winry said.
"I will, I promise." Riza said, wiping more tears from her face.
At Ed's mom's grave, Ed was there. He then saw a figure, wearing a white shirt and black pants. It was Mustang, ready to comfort him because Roy already knows Ed's problems.
"Ed, are you lonely of what Winry said?" Roy asked.
"Why do you even care?" Ed said annoyed.
"Because you care for me, and I'm giving back the care to you." Roy explained.
"What makes you think that way? Me care for you? In your dreams!" Ed said.
"Edward, tell Winry the truth, she may not like you back, but your conscious will be cleared. She might even love you back! So Edward, tell her okay? You know that I like Riza right; well I told her everything already. She still hasn't answered me, but she said she'd answer me tomorrow. Even thought she doesn't like me back, I'll still be happy of us as friends, at least, she knows the truth; at least, I don't have to lie." Roy lectured.
"I don't need anymore lectures Mustang!" Ed said.
"You're so spoiled Ed! Just think about it okay?" Roy said, walking away.
"Roy! I will, and thanks! Wait for me! Let's go back at home, I'm gonna tell her before we leave to central." Ed said.
They all met back home, and Ed saw Winry.
"Winry, I uh…uh.. I want to say.. I.. I like you Winry" Ed said blushing.
Winry blushed of shock. "Than..Thanks Ed, I like you two.." she said with a smile still blushing.
"That didn't come out right, I'm suppose to say love! Come on Ed!" he thought.
"What I mean is..not like..I..I…" Ed paused… and breathe deeply.. "I love you Winry!" Ed continued.
Winry was even more shocked, but Winry then hugged him, and whispered to him, "I love you too, since we were small, thanks for telling me Ed"
In the distance, there was Al, Riza and Roy.
"That clears of their problem, what about you guys?" Al said with an odd look
The two blushed. But Riza then talked to Roy.
"Roy, let's go! You two Al! We'll be late for the train again!" grabbing the hands of the two.
Al let go after a few seconds, and Roy was just plain surprised that she's okay already. He still didn't know how to react.
Since all was okay already, Winry waved goodbye to the train leaving. They people in the train waved too.
"Bye guys! See you again! Come back soon! Bring Mr. and Mrs. Mustang too!" Winry said as a joke.
The two still blushed because of that joked, who wouldn't! Ed and Al was just happy that everything's alright.
But in the train, someone was still watching them, disguising himself by reading a newspaper. Who is he? He's wearing a blue suit like Roy's and Riza's, who is he?
A/N: There! Another chappie! R&R please!
