Their first day alone

Winry yawned as her blue eyes opened. They widened when she saw where she was, Ed's room. 'It's okay he's probably outside.' Winry thought, she attempted to put her hand on his pillow, expecting it to be cold. She gasped and looked over to where her hand had landed. In his hand, on his lap. His hand squeezed hers, and she realized that he was sitting up. She blushed as he stroked her cheek.

"Morning." Ed said proudly "Didn't mean to scare you." Winry was still a bit confused. Ed was in his baby blue boxers, his pajamas; he had a white bandage wrapped tightly around his stomach just to be safe.

"How long have you been awake?" Winry asked.

"Couple of hours, but they passed buy like minutes watching you sleep."

"Aw, Ed." Winry said snuggling up to him.

"Winry, why do I still have auto-mail?" Ed asked bluntly.

"So you have an excuse to spend time with me."

"Har, har."

"I think it's because Wrath had had your arm and leg, then they got damaged, so he got auto-mail. Your arm and leg are no longer in existence. I have no clue where Wrath's arm and leg came from though. I like you better with auto-mail." Ed jumped up.

"Better? What's that supposed to mean, grease- monkey? You wouldn't love me if I was normal?" Winry sat up.

"Grease-monkey?" Ed pointed at her.

"Don't change the subject! Answer the question!"

"Shut up, shorty!" Ed blinked, his nose flared, he stood as tall as he could.

"Who are you calling the Guinness Book of World Record's tiniest shorty?!" Ed didn't give her a chance to answer; he flung the door open and slammed it shut behind him.

"Ed, wait." Winry called, she shut her eyes and remembered last night. She remembered his big smile, his amber eyes, he was altogether cute, and she was letting him walk away. She opened the door and saw him at the bottom of the stairs holding his bruised stomach. She jogged down the hardwood stairs. "Ed, you okay?" Ed had never hit Winry before, but he wanted to.

"Winry, I…" Ed fell to his knees in agony.

"Ed!" Winry proclaimed. She knelt by his side and wrapped him in her arms. "Your okay, everything is fine."

"Arrgh, no it's not!" Ed shouted, Winry helped him up and over to the couch. She noticed a note on the island.

Winry,

I took Al and Wrath with me to Rush Valley to visit Paninya and crew. We'll be back in a couple of weeks. Don't do anything stupid.

Love, Pinako

Winry heaved a sigh, her alone with Ed for two weeks. 'Wow, I hope it goes good.' Winry thought sitting the note down.

"I'm sorry, Winry."

"Huh? Oh, I'm the one who should be sorry. I worded what I meant to say wrong. I meant to say I like you auto-mail or not. That's what I meant to say." Winry explained sitting down next to Ed.

"Oh I see well then I need to go return something."

"Whadda ya mean?"

"Do you 'like' me or 'love' me?"

"Well, duh! I love you, but you know what I mean."

"So, you truly love me?"

"Yes."

"Hold out your hands and close your eyes." Winry did so and Ed placed a little velvet box in her hands. He opened it for her. "Open your eyes." Winry opened her penetrating eyes and looked down, she gasped.

"Is this?"

"Winry Rockbell, marry me?" Winry swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded. She bit her lip to hold back the tears, it didn't work. Her face was beat red the tears came fast and heavy.

"I'm sor…" She couldn't even talk she was so choked up.

"Woah, woah, woah", Ed said soothingly. He ran his flesh hand through her soft hair. "Shh, its okay, we can wait till you're ready. I won't rush you." Winry sniffled.

"I have to wait, Ed. It's just I've dreamed of this ever since I was ten, and had a crush on you. I love you, I do but I don't think that I'm mentally or emotionally stable yet. I'm sorry." Ed wiped her tears away.

"I understand, Winry I'll wait." Winry leaned in for a hug but Ed pulled a fast one and kissed her softly. "I love you." Ed said holding her close.

"So tell me. When did you first decide that you loved me?" Winry asked regaining her composure.

"Well, I remember we were both seven Al was only six. And you broke your leg. We were playing some dumb game of hopscotch."

------

"Ha, beat that!" Ed taunted pointing to Winry. She began to jump and Ed kicked a stone in her direction. She landed on top of it her ankle twisting. Winry yelped and fell getting chalk all over her dress. That's not what Ed and Al gasped at though. A loud crack echoed off the trees, and then Winry began to cry.

"Winry, I'll save you!" Ed said bravely brushing past the dumbfounded Al. Ed picked Winry up fireman style. Her feet dangled over his arm. "I'll never let anything bad happen to you again. I'll protect you forever!" Ed stated carrying Winry home, Al at their heels.

------

"Yeah, I remember that." Winry said smiling. "I fell in love with you when I was ten; we went swimming that day. Remember Mindy our neighbor? She was there, but she moved soon after that."

------

Ed's little hands clung tightly to the rope. He swung five feet over freezing cold water. He let out a Tarzan call then changed his mind. That water looked and was cold; there was no way! Mindy and Winry stood on the sidelines cheering him on. Ed finally went for it. The cold water splashed up, and Ed quickly got out and began to dry off. Ed was in shape for his age.

"Winry have you noticed how cute Ed is?" Mindy asked pointing at the now soaking wet Ed.

"Who? Ed? Are you kidding me?"

"No, look at him, Winry. He's not even fifteen yet and he has abs." Either Mindy had a way with words or Ed really was cute. The more Winry looked at him the cuter and more innocent he got. Was this love? If it was Winry liked it.

------

Ed blushed, if he didn't have the bandage on he would be in the same vulnerable position.

"Heh, we haven't changed much have we?" Ed said standing up and stretching.

"You've gotten cuter." Winry said quietly. Ed heard her but acted like he didn't.

"I'm hungry." That was Winry's queue. She got up and began to fix breakfast. A few minutes later she put a plateful of pancakes in front of Ed. Winry poured a nice tall glass of milk.

"Here ya go!" Winry stated cheerfully. Ed looked at her like she was stupid. "Just try it." Ed slowly brought the glass to his mouth. He began to slowly sip. Before he pulled it away, Winry hit the bottom of the glass with her palm. Ed chugged more than half of the glass. He pulled it away quickly, coughing hard.

"What are you trying to do kill me?" Ed asked angrily, he remembered that day in the hospital.

------

Winry walked in the hospital room.

"How ya doin'?" She looked over at the food tray. "Well, Ed looks like you're done with your dinner."

"Uh huh…" Ed looked down.

"Don't be a baby it won't hurt much." Winry noticed that the milk jar was full to the brim. "You didn't drink your milk." Ed twitched. "Edward."

"You drink it; I hate milk it's like drinking vomit."

"What are you talking about? Milk's good for you, drink it!" Winry proclaimed shoving the milk Ed's way.

"Forget it, I hate what I hate! It's not like I'll die if I don't drink that crap!" Ed grabbed the milk and started shaking it above his head. Winry threw her hands to her head.

"Geez! That's why you're always gonna be the size of a bean!"

"A BEAN!?" Winry put her hand on his head.

"Yeah, a bean."

------

"No, come on Ed milk is not that bad!" Winry said taking Ed's plate. Ed crossed his arms, he had a milk moustache. Winry smiled, "Two weeks, Ed." Ed nodded.

"Yup, I'm gonna go up and get dressed." Ed said nudging toward the stairs; he slowly made his way up the stairs so he wouldn't hurt his stomach more. Greed could really throw a punch. Ed was now standing in his room, he shut the door. "TWO WEEKS?! Two weeks alone with Winry? What am I gonna do?" Ed shouted, the two had already confessed their love to each other. Now what?

------

It was a hot summer's day, and Ed thought it best to go swimming. He rummaged through his closet searching for his old swim trunks. He thought that he couldn't have grown that much in a two years time. A soft knock came at his door, but he ignored it. Ed knew it was going to be Winry, who else could it possibly be? It was just him and her now. Winry opened the door just enough so she could squeeze in. She closed it quietly, and tiptoed over to the closet. A pile of clothes was forming in the doorway as Ed flung his clothes backwards.

"Where are they?" Ed asked himself out loud, Winry snickered. She liked watching him like this, him not suspecting her there. Sometimes this was how she found out things about him. Winry had always complained to either Ed or Al that they never told her anything. She didn't know that Ed was avoiding to tell her because he didn't want her to worry. And whenever she would cry for them Ed would ask. 'Why are you crying?' Winry would respond, 'I cry for both of you, because you won't cry neither of you will.' When Ed spoke it startled Winry. "Well, now that I think of it two weeks alone with Winry might not be so bad." Ed sat back on his heels, "Well, they're not here maybe Winry knows where they are." Winry panicked either she had to get up and out fast, or she had to hide. But if she hid then Ed wouldn't be able to find her to ask her. She was too late, "What are you doing in here?" Ed asked as he stood up.

"Um, I was checking on you. You've been up her for a while. I didn't know if…"

"What do you want?"

"Nothing."

"Well, while you're up here do you know where my swim trunks are?" Ed asked as he pushed the clothes back in the closet, and shut the door.

"Yeah, they're in my closet." Winry led the way to her room. 'What are my swim trunks doing in her closet?' Ed thought as he followed her. Winry's room was a mess, she had tools strewed out everywhere, clothes piled on the bed, and some other junk that some women call collectibles. When Winry entered her closet, Ed looked around. His eyes traced round the room they stopped on a partially open drawer. 'What do we have here?' Ed thought, there were a few things in the drawer, but he noticed a handle in the bottom. Above it there was a label that read Ed drawer. Ed smirked, 'What's in here?' He thought. Ed opened the drawer and saw something he did not expect. There was a wrench in a plastic bag; underneath it was a label it read, the wrench Ed got me. Upon closer examination he saw small drops of blood on it, most likely his blood. She was so violent! He saw a picture of himself he was smiling his biggest. There was another picture of him and Winry. 'I remember that.'

------

Winry bent down to check Ed's prosthetic automail leg. Ed was in his baby blue boxers, and shirtless. They were both young, Ed had recently gotten his automail. Pinako snuck in to get their picture. Ed saw her and flexed his arm muscles; Winry turned her head and saw the camera. She quickly got up and sat next to Ed. Winry put her arms around his waist, the camera flashed.

------

Ed smiled as he continued to rummage through the drawer. Something caught his eye, it looked like the tank top he had on. He reached in the drawer and pulled it out slowly. It unfolded when he held it up. A huge hole was right in the chest area, covered in dry blood.

------

These were Ed's thoughts when Envy killed him.

'I lay here on my death bed, bleeding and wishing to see your face smile before I die. I know you can't smile or laugh. You are watching me die helplessly as you're strapped to the floor. Envy's maniacal, happy laughter at my slow and painful death fills the air; you just want me to take you with me though I went. I'm sorry I left you so soon. I loved you because you were the only one left and the only one who cared, Mom and Dad died, Mom before our eyes. I don't want you to see me die. I've caused you too much pain. I won't cause you anymore. Live on like I had never existed and forget me. I love you. Your Nii-san, Edward Elric'

------

Ed quickly folded it and put it back. The shirt was the one he was wearing when Envy stabbed him. 'Winry had the nerve to keep this?' Ed thought closing the drawer. He was just in time; Winry came out of the closet carrying nothing.

"No luck huh? Oh well…" Ed went to walk out of Winry's room. She grabbed his arm and pulled him back in to her room.

"I love you, Ed" Ed sat down on the bed and tugged Winry onto his lap. He put his arms around her waist and put his chin on her shoulder. Winry leaned her head on his. "Ed?"

"What, Winry?" Ed asked lifting his eyes as Winry lifted her head off his head.

"Did you meet anyone on the other side that you hung out with often?" Winry asked turning slightly to look into Ed's golden eyes.

"Yeah, I taught her alchemy, why?"

"Do you think she'll ever figure out how to get to this side?"

"I don't know…" Ed said uneasily, he felt like Winry was getting jealous.
