Disclaimer: I don't own FMA

what happened last time:

The sun had almost set over the horizon, and it was starting to get dark, but Ed still wouldn't leave until he had finally adjusted his feeling towards Roy.

'okay! So lets get this straight!...I'm jealous about this new girlfriend of his. I love to be in his company, he makes me feel happy and needed. He's gorgeous, and I think I might be...in love with him?' Ed's heart pound against his chest. how could he not have realized this before! He was madly in love with Roy! And now he's getting married to this girl who starts with the letter 'h' and has a nicknamed by the name of shorty!' The tears that were dried were now replaced by new wet tears. Suddenly he heard foot steps coming towards him he quickly turned around to see...

Ch.8 Confrontation

"Ed." A low voice what heard. Ed stared at him with anger

"What do you want?" He said kicking the river with his feet and wiping away the tears.

"Brother, please we have to talk sooner or later." Al said holding up a blanket toward Ed. He didn't take it so Al pulled it around his body instead. Ed gave in a huge sigh.

"look, about the Winry thing...I'm not mad at the fact that you guys like each other and are going out now...what I'm mad about is that Winry just dumped me like a piece of trash and you didn't have the balls to even tell me what you guys were doing behind my back!" His rage was pushed out of his body. Al sat there in awe that his brother was actually talking about his emotions so freely.

"Edward, I...I'm sorry for that. I must have been a real jerk, but now I want to tell you that I'm going to... propose to Winry." This was a shock to Ed by far 'Why is everyone proposing!' Ed screamed in his head.

Ed nodded at this." You mean your not...mad?" al gulped at what his reply would be. Ed gave him a small smile.

"No not at all...so am I your best man or did you have some one else planned for that?" Al chuckled as did Ed.

"That's the other reason I wanted to talk to you. I want you to be happy and I want to get married to Winry knowing that my older brother is behind me one hundred percent!" Ed's smile widened.

"Of course I support you! Plus I don't love Winry anymore so it's okay." His smile faded away then he continued. "even though the person I love, Love another." Ed sat up with a grump. Al looked at his brother worriedly.

"You not going to get depressed again. are you?" Ed laughed at Al's expression and tone of voice. 'He still acts like the little brother that I know.'

"No, this time I'm going to fight for him." He covered his mouth quickly at what he had just spat out. 'great! I said He!' Al looked at Ed a little edgy.

"He? What do you mean He! You...OMG your...gay?" He said whispering the last word. Shocked covered his body top to bottom.

Ed gave a nervous chuckle. "Would you be mad if I was?" Ed asked hoping for the answer to be no.

"O-Of course I wouldn't be mad! I just...I'm just a little shocked by this Information that's all." Al gave a few deep breaths.

"so?" Al asked.

"so, what?" Ed replied.

"Who's the lucky guy." Ed cocked an eyebrow waiting for his brother's lover.

"I...I um...I don't want to tell you." Ed turned around and started walking away from Al.

"Come on Ed!" He said grabbing a hold of Ed's shoulder. Ed's eyes were at the verge of tears just as the thought of Roy.

"Could we change the subject Al? I really don't what to talk about him." he said in a low murmuring voice. Al nodded by the expression of Ed's face he wasn't in the mood to talk about...whomever it was.

"Well, anyway, there was another reason I wanted to talk to you." Ed's eyes averted towards Al's.

"what?"

"well, Winry wanted to talk to you too." Al's voice died down at the mention of Winry's name. Ed's eyes widen at the thought of talking to Winry ever again.

"about?" He asked.

"I-I don't know. She's waiting for you---" He was cut off.

"where?"

"um...at the coffee shop, but please brother don't do anything drastic." Al said clenching Ed's wrist with his hand. Ed looked down at it then to Al's eyes.

"Don't worry. Remember I don't give a rats ass about Winry." Al expression held a strong defense and Ed slowly wailed away to the coffee shop.

With Roy & Hughes:

"I still can't believe you bought that stupid gift." Hughes said sipping his cup of coffee.

"what? It's not stupid! It's a token of love!" Roy said dramatically.

"Yea...but what if he rejects it?" Hughes looked toward Roy who was looking at his hot coffee

"Well, at least I tried and i told him my feeling for him...right?" Roy asked. Hughes nodded.

"So only 1 week and 4 days to go so its going to be 1 week and 3 days to go." Hughes chuckled. Roy glared at him.

"Oh come on Roy have a sense of Humor!" He said happily. Roy grumbled into his coffee.

"Well, i don't ---" He was cut off by the sight of Ed. He quickly turned told Hughes to switch him seats. Hughes agreed still un bestowed to him that Ed was in the coffee shop.

"what's up Roy?" Hughes asked.

"You idiot I told you we should have ordered to go!" He silently yelled at Hughes.

"But why?" He asked.

"Ed's here!" Hughes lifted his head and saw him seating down with an other blond headed person.

"It looks like he's with some girl." Roy clenched his fist under the table.

"Is she pretty? What is she wearing? Who is she? what does she mean to Ed!" He trampled Hughes with questions.

"get a hold of yourself Roy! She's a blond girl wearing a short black skirt and black jacket. I think I might know who she is, but you might get a little disappointed." Roy's eyes held a murderous expression.

"just tell me who it is..." He said in a low malicious growl.

"Its winry..." Hughes said in a low whisper. Roy's eyes widen in shock 'Why would Ed want to talk to her! s-she doesn't even deserve to be in the same room as him!'

"Well, Roy? What are you going to do?" Hughes asked timidly.

"The only thing we can do...we watch over him like hawks." Hughes chuckled at his request, but agreed to follow it.

Meanwhile with Ed and Winry:

"Coffee?" Winry offered.

"What do you want Winry?" Ed said getting agitated by even being near the bitch.

"I wanted to ask you forgiveness." She hung her head down low as if she was bowing to him. Ed just sat there with his arm crossed not even fazed by the fact that she apologized to him.

"Is that all you wanted to tell me?" Ed asked indifferently. Winry shook her head a little. He gave out a yawn.

"Well, that was a waste of my time." He was about to get up when Winry held him to his seat.

"Please, Ed...all I want is for your forgiveness." Winry said staring to cry. Ed gave a grumped.

"Well, you know what I wanted!" He yelled at her shoving her hand away fro his arm. Every single eye were on them, including Roy's and Hughes, because of his outburst.

"Well? Do you know what I wanted...I wanted us to live together, I wanted to live the rest of my life with you, I use to want you, but now I want another. Do you know what else I wanted?" Ed yelled at her almost breaking the table for how hard he clenched it. Winry still had her head hung low. She shook her head in response.

"I wanted you to tell me why you and My brother were doing behind my back when we were going out! I want to know why you picked him over me! But It doesn't matter anymore, my feelings for you have died long ago...I hate you, not because you and my brother are now together, but for how you treated my feelings." His voice died down and Winry was crying her hardest now. Ed looked at her in disgust.

"Stop crying, You deserve a lot worse than want I told you, the truth." With that said he averted his eyes to the rest of the people who had grown quite while he spoke.

"Mind your own fuckin' business!" He yelled at them and walked out of the shop. Everyone seemed to go back to there normal conversations.

With Roy and Hughes.

"wow..." was all both Hughes and Roy could say. Roy looked at the door longingly.

"Hughes...Talk to Winry...comfort her...I'm going after him." Roy was stopped by Hughes taking a hold of Roy's coat.

"What do you mean going after him? We have a plan! If you go know the plan is ruined!" Roy looked at the door once again.

"..." Roy didn't know what to do. Then an idea popped into his head.

"Hughes you go after Ed!" Hughes looked at him like he was crazy.

"Are you mad Roy! He's angry right now! Hey! I-I thought you were going to go?" Roy shook his head.

"I'm going to have a little talk with Winry...to make sure she doesn't get near Ed again." He said as if his mouth was dripping with venom.

Hughes nodded. not sure what he was going to say to Ed when he found him 'He's probably near the river...if he's anything like Al, then he's defiantly near the river.' Hughes ran out the door leaving Winry to Roy to take care of her...Hughes just hope he didn't kill her.

"Miss. Rockwell?" Roy said budging her a little.
