(A/N) Wow three chapters in one night? This has gotta be my longest fic ever (in word count anyway). This one I pretty much envisioned a few minutes after writing the last one so I decided to write it before I forgot... (I do that a lot)
That night there was a nice summer thunder storm. I used to love to sit out in the rain and watch the thunder with Winry on summer nights like that. It was because of that, that everytime I watch the rain falling I'm happy.
"Honey.." my mother called to me "you really should come inside..." she sounded worried.
"Maybe in a little while.." I sounded distant I'm sure.
Soon she went back inside and I was sitting on the porch, alone once again.
I got up and went back to my room... my mind wandering to the past.
-
"AH!" Winry screamed as the lightning crashed again. "Awe come on it's just a little thunder storm." I rolled my eyes.
"Brother, if she's afraid let her be afraid you don't need to-" Alphonse tried to argue. But I grabbed Winry by the arm and dragged her outside.
She whimpered. "Gawd, stop it." I yelled "you're thirteen, you shouldn't be afraid of a little thunder and lightning."
"But I am!" She screamed turning back to run in the house, I grabbed her wrist and said "Me and Alphonse like to watch the storms so you're going to watch it with us."
"Brother, let her be, if she doesn't want to be outside she shouldn't have to be." Al said calmly.
"That's right." Winry said trying to pull away "I'm not brave like you guys."
"I used to be afraid of the storms too." I said lowering my voice "But then one day I decided I would sit and watch it anyway. And now I'm not afraid anymore."
"But.." she protested.
"Besides" I smiled "You don't have to be afraid... when I'm around."
She sat down next to me and leaned her head on my shoulder. "Yeah... I guess you're right."

The rain conhtinued to pour down and so did my tears. I didn't know why I was crying. I should've been happy that Edward loved me like I loved him.
What was it... what made me feel like this... how could something so wonderful make me cry so much?
I got up from the couch, walked outside and looked up into the sky.
I felt the raindrops wash away the tear stains from my face
Thunder crashes
Lightning flashes
When to my knees I fall
It's only your name that I call
"Edward!"
I feel the cold wind blowing
Behind the clouds I see stars glowing
I walk into the street alone
But you aren't here I should have known
If only I could express the things I mean
If only emotions and thoughts could be seen
And it's still your name that I call
"Edward!"
Because without you I feel like nothing at all
But when you're here
I know for sure, there's nothing to fear
-
The doorbell rang and soon after I heard my mom yell "Could you get that?"
"Yeah.." I replied with a sigh. I walked slowly hoping whoever was there might think nobody was home. I wasn't really in the mood to talk to, much less see, anyone really.
I opened the door sluggishly and looked to see who it was.
And there Winry stood. Her hair down, was soaking wet. Her clothes were dripping. Her shoes were muddy. But her eyes shone. They shone brightly.
"Winry..." I whispered wondering why on earth she would come back "Why are you..."
But I didn't finish my sentence. I just watched her smile back at me. "Edward..." She whispered. "Will you come watch the storm with me?"
The next thing I knew, I was standing in the middle of my front yard, soaked to my feet, kissing Winry in the rain.
Kissing the girl I finally could admit I love...
-
I laid back onto the grass and closed my eyes "Do you remember..." I felt the rain getting colder as it fell "when we first watched the rain fall together?"
"Yes..." Ed replied softly.
We sat in silence for a few minutes. Simply listening to the thunder as it roared softly. Feeling the rain fall slowly. Watching as the lightning as it faded away.
Edward broke the silence between us "Do you ever wish that you could stop time?"
I got up and leaned over to Edward, my face almost touching his. And I looked into his eyes and kissed him.
Time is something in our lives that humans can control.
No matter how much you wish
No matter how much you hope
No matter how much you pray
You cannot stop time.
Even if your heart wishes the moment could last forever
It wont
Whether or not you aknowlege it
Time keeps going
Because nothing lasts an eternity
No matter how much you will it.
"Yes..." I whispered in his ear pulling away.
"I wish..." he cleared his throat "that we had more time together..."
"That this summer would last an eternity..." I took a deep breath "so I could find a way to express the way I feel..."
"Why don't you just tell me now?" he looked at me gravely.
"I love you..." I said softly.
"Say it again." he got closer to me.
"I love you." I stated.
He put his hand on my cheek "Say it one more time..."
"I love you!" I yelled as tears rolled down my face. The thunder grew louder.
"Show me." He demanded.
"Show you..." I asked faintly.
"Show me that you love me." I grabbed him and pressed my lips to his. That kiss lasted longer than the first... but not long enough.
When we'd pulled away he asked me "Did it take that long... to express the way you felt?"
I smiled up at him and leaned my head up against his shoulder.
Just like I did... the first time we watched the rain fall.
(A/N) WOW! Very very dramatic! And pretty fluffy. Don't worry, it wont all be like this... I hope... no really it wont. This chapter got a little poetic at some parts huh? Well this one's shorter than the others but it has A LOT of plot movement... okay well more character development but whatever. Just review alright?
