Not Yet
By: Fullmetal Ai


Edward seems to be so happy these days, Winry noted with a smile as she watched the sleeping form of the golden-haired alchemist beside her. She couldn't help but feel the same way; after all, they were married now. Every day since the wedding had been like a dream. They always woke up next to each other, just as they had wanted to do since the two realized their love for one another. Pinako couldn't scold them for getting intimate anymore, because they were permitted to be this way. It was freedom .. and yet, quite the opposite.

In any case, the two were more than happy.

Edward let out a tiny groan as his eyes fluttered open, occulars of gold staring straight into stunning blue. He smiled.

"Morning, beautiful .." He whispered, holding her closer to him. She leaned into him, resting her head on his chest as her smile got wider.

"Morning," She responded. "I didn't wake you, did I?"

"No, No," Edward whispered soothingly, gently running the fingers of his right hand through her hair. "I'm used to waking up this early." Winry knew this, however, she always felt that she needed to ask.

"All right, then," Winry said with a giggle, slowly sitting up. She stopped when she felt Ed grab her arm, preventing her from going any further.

"Where are you going?" Edward said, his lips forming into a grin.

"To start breakfast," Winry replied simply, and continued trying to sit up, but to no avail; Ed's hold on her arm was much too strong. She yelped in surprise as he gently pulled her back down onto the bed, wrapping his arms around her waist as she lay down next to him once more.

"Ed ..?"

"Not yet, Winry .. stay here a little longer .." Edward whispered into her hair, kissing her head softly. Winry couldn't help but smile.

"All right, you win."

They stayed in bed for most of the morning, the only sounds being that of the birds chirping outside, and soft whispers of "I love you," from either one of the newlyweds.
