A Dream of Sweet Kisses
---
Winry walked silently down the dark hall, finding her way to Ed's bedroom door and pushing it carefully open. He was fast asleep - as would be expected at 1:00 in the morning. She moved quietly across the floor and stood, looking down on his angelic, sleeping face. He looked so peaceful - so innocent. She sat down next to him on the bed carefully, not wanting to wake him, and just watched him for a few minutes.
Finally she leaned over the sleeping boy slowly, resting her hands on the mattress on either side of his shoulders. She stayed that way for a moment, looking at the innocent expression on his face and enjoying the feel of his warm breath so close. Then slowly, carefully, she closed the distance between their lips and let her kiss linger as his eyes fluttered open. Finally she pulled back, watching the sleepy confusion cross his face as he looked up at her. After a few very long seconds he opened his mouth as if to speak. She stifled whatever words he was about to say with another kiss - this one deeper but no less gentle.
She moved her hands to his shoulders and her weight kept him lying down. Even though he was allowing the kiss, she could feel his heart start to beat faster beneath the palm of her right hand as he started to actually wake up.
She pulled back at last, leaving both of them slightly breathless. And a very confused blonde boy. He still couldn't quite figure out what was happening. Winry ran her hands along his chest towards his neck, eventually cupping his jaw with both hands, kissing him with a gentle passion. Ed tried to sit up, but she leaned more weight into him with the arms against his collarbone, keeping him down. Then slowly he relaxed again, and much to her delight he began to kiss her back.
She felt his hands on her sides, and she continued their kiss until she needed to pull back for a short breath of air. Ed's eyes were half-closed... he was still only partially awake. Winry smiled and leaned forward again. He tasted so sweet, and she felt tears form in her eyes, so she closed them to keep them from falling. He was hers... for a little while at least.
When Ed eventually drifted back to sleep, lulled by her gentle touch, she let her head rest in the crook of his neck and let her body rest against his. She sighed softly. This was how is should be. She stayed awake like that for a while, listening to his soft breath, feeling the gentle rise and fall of his chest beneath her... she relished in his scent... the feel of his bare skin beneath her fingertips.
Eventually she sat up and smiled down at his face lovingly. A smile graced his lips as well... and she wondered if, in the morning, he would think it all a dream. Maybe... but either way, she would remember that his first kiss had belonged to her. And she vowed to herself that one day he would be hers again.
It was at least an hour after her arrival that Winry finally stood to return to her own room. It took a great deal of effort to pull herself away from him. After all... it felt so right to be there with him. She paused in the doorway and took one last look at his sleeping face, a soft smile still across his lips. And she knew that she would wait for him. How could she not? And one day he would come home, and he would be hers again. Until then... she could wait.

Author's Note: Okay, that one was supposed to have taken place during one of the visits Winry made to the East city headquarters. Don't ask me where Al was... lets just pretend he slept over at the Hughes place or something... but yeah, that would have been Ed's dorm room I guess. Hehe, please R&R, I'd like to hear what people think. Thanks!
