Chapter 7 Catch Me Under The Moonlight

Winry's POV

I walked out onto the balcony. Ed and Al were outside. I almost thought they were leaving, but a glance at the clock proved me wrong. Two hours still left before midnight. I've yet to figure out why they were leaving. Maybe Al doesn't want to be around me anymore. I can't blame him for hating me. I accused him of not loving his big brother. What kind of friend does that? ME! That's who and it was because i was upset Ed was dead. That gave me no right to accuse Al of not loving him! Ed and Al were talking and it carried all the way up, clear as day.

"Ed, why are we leaving?" So Al didn't want to leave.

"You can stay if you want to Al. My reasons for leaving are selfish." It's Ed who wants to leave! WHAT'S NEW!?

"No Brother. I'm going to stick with you. Like I always have!"

"You did everything I asked of you. You got over my death and you lived. You kept your promise also. I'm proud of you Al." For some odd reason Ed's saying that made me feel worse for accusing Al.

"You still didn't answer my question Brother."

"I don't feel like being on the other side of Winry's wrench." WHAT!? This is how they talk about me when I'm not around!?

"I shouldn't have pressured you to tell her your feelings." That was Al's idea? They're just trying to kill me.

"It's not your fault Al. I wanted to tell her goodbye. I could have done it with out saying that stuff. Besides I'm no where near ready for a relationship anyway!"

"You're to irresponsible!"

"Damn straight!" Al laughed. "That's me though."

"It's not the best part about you, but you're a lot of fun and a great big brother!" Awwww that's so sweet.

"And you're a great little brother Al!" Ed put his arm around Al's shoulders and gave him a tight squeeze. I can't take this anymore. I need to set things straight with Ed.

Normal POV

Ed walked around outside, having told his brother he'd wanted to be alone. It wasn't long before the quite was interrupted.

"What's going on with you Ed?"

"What ever are you talking about Winry?" Ed was pacing around a tree. Winry got angrier every time he went around, because he never looked at her. This sent her off the edge. She went the opposite way Ed was going and managed to stop him. When he tried to go around her, Winry slammed him against a tree.

"NOW LISTEN HERE EDWARD ELRIC!" Ed raised his eyebrows.

"I think this is the closest you've gotten since I got here." This shocked her, and he was right. She'd kept her distance for the last thirteen hours. Staying in her room.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Winry asked, ignoring the fact that she might know.

"It means that everyone been reading you wrong!" She let go of him. Ed rubbed his shoulders. Winry looked down.

"I love you Ed..." She looked up at his face, it was angry, but his voice was calm.

"It really shows Winry." Ed stated, why did she have the feeling he was being sarcastic.

"You don't believe me."

"Not in the least." Winry sighed. How is she supposed to get Ed to believe her. There was just no way unless...maybe...kissing him...?

"Ed I-"

"Winry it's not that I don't love you, I told you in the letter I wrote. But I'm not ready for a relationship. I wouldn't of told you if I thought I was going to live." Winry sighed. She should of seen this coming, but she didn't. "Winry?" She couldn't hear anything Ed was saying now. Nothing. She was feeling dizzy and faint. "Winry!?" She fell. Ed caught her before she hit the ground. "Winry?" He whispered. The moonlight hit her face and he let out a quite it sigh. Beautiful didn't even begin cover it. He touched her cheek gently with his fingertips. Her eyes fluttered open. "Jeez Winry don't scare me like that." She smiled.

"I'm sorry, I guess rejection doesn't suit me well." Ed couldn't help, but smile. The moonlight had an amazing effect on her and he just couldn't stop starring. This was Winry's chance, he wasn't really paying attention. She leaned up and kissed him. Ed blushed and held his breath as she pulled away. "You know...it's better when two people do it." She murmured. Winry leaned up again. Ed caught his breath and when their lips touched...he kissed back. And this time when she pulled away, he smiled. "I told you." She whispered.

The end!!!
