Okay so read on and tell me what you think: D


Ed found himself in a field of flowers; they were so radiant that he swore they were glowing. It was the perfect temperature, it must have been the middle of spring because there were birds chirping and butterflies everywhere and yes those flowers were just too beautiful. Then Ed saw something, something that made the flowers look like a pile of garbage that needed to be destroyed, something so beautiful that the sun looked dull; Winry was coming.

"Hey Ed what are you doing? Typical! I'm inside slaving away on your auto mail that you broke AGAIN and you're out here soaking up the sun. Why can't you take better care of your-"

"Ah Winry just shut up and come here."

Ed was sick of waiting, sick of pushing his feelings for Winry aside, sick of being an arrogant wimp. He grabbed Winry's hand and pulled her down until there she was lying right next to him, all Winry could do was giggle and realize that Ed was still holding her hand and apparently had no intentions of letting go, but she was more than okay with that.

Every part of Ed's body began to tingle with excitement, he was finally alone with the girl he loved, he was comfortable; peaceful, a feeling that he thought had escaped his grasp forever.

There was a sudden loud noise; it was a sound of discomfort, of agony, the sound of someone who was in excruciating pain; it was someone screaming, it was Winry screaming. Ed's eyes opened sharply and he quickly realized that his moment of peace was in fact a dream, instead of in a field he was in a hospital laying next to Winry, a screaming Winry.

"Please…don't! I don't know anything! No! Please….Ed help me! No…Please No! No leave me alone….Ed…ED!"

Ed panicked he started shaking Winry frantically, "please Winry wake up, Winry you have to wake up!"

Winry's eyes shot open with horror she let out a gasp and tried to fight off the panicked Ed that was still holding her shoulders. Winry started to push Ed; she was kicking and trying to fling her arms at him (and she was bloody strong, holding her down was a lot harder than Ed had ever thought it would be). Ed was pretty sure if he didn't do something quick she would start screaming, but she just kept fighting and panicking trying to get away.

"Please no. Get of off me! NO!"

"Winry! WINRY! It's just me. Shhhhhh, it's me your safe."

Winry slowly calmed down as she looked into Ed's eyes and remembered where she was and whom she was with. A tear rolled down her cheek it became painfully obvious to Ed that she was reliving the accident that got her in the hospital in the first place. Then it hit him, he hadn't even asked what happened all he knew was Envy was there and Winry had been stabbed, he hadn't even bothered to ask her why Envy was there in the first place or what the bastard wanted. A cold stab of guilt went through Ed's body, shooting from the top of his head through the to the tip of his toes; he could see Winry was terrified.

"Ah Winry…Winry it's okay you're safe now."

Winry did nothing, said nothing. She sat there like she had been frozen there was no movement at all except the tears rolling down her cheeks. It made Ed sick to his stomach, sick with anger, frustration, exhaustion and guilt. It made him so sick he couldn't handle it anymore. Ed suddenly pushed himself of the bed with such force such anger that he made Winry flinch. She instantly missed the warmth of his body next to hers. They waited in what felt like an eternity of painful silence. Both hated it but neither could think of the right thing to say. Finally Winry pulled up the courage to talk to try and calm down the raging blonde headed boy staring at her. She always felt the need to be strong; she hated the fact that she had made Ed and Al worry about her. Winry had been on her own for a long time sure she had Pinako, but her parents died when she was little and she was used to Ed and Al leaving her; she was used to being alone.

"Ed…I'm…I'm sorry to have woken you up like that."

Winry forced a smile on her face, it was the fakest smile Ed had ever seen and that pissed him off more than anything, why was she trying acting so tough? Why wouldn't she just let him in so she could fix her? Why couldn't he be enough to make her smile properly? Wait why the hell was he still here instead of killing the bastard who did this to her?

"Winry; I need you to tell me what happened, every detail it's really important."

"Ed please just let it go I'm going to be fine."

She was going to be just fine? What the hell! At this point they didn't even know if she was going to survive! Ed started to panic, a mixture of anger and anxiety rose within him until he snapped, again.

Ed's fist found the wall taking out yet another chunk where his auto mail had met the concrete. Yes he knew he could usually keep his cool just a little bit longer than this before punching things, but this was Winry, it was life or death, there was no time for calm.

"Damn it Winry just tell me what the hell happened!"

"Ed please don't yell this is a hospital."

"I don't give a rats ass where we are Winry, tell me what happened?"

Ed was very aware that he was still yelling, but he couldn't help it. As Winry refused to give him the answer he desired he felt his blood boil through every part of his body.

"Winry if you don't tell me what happened how the hell am I going to find Envy, he must of said something given you a clue to where he was going! So just stop acting like a stupid tough gear head and tell me what the hell happened!"

Okay he knew he was pushing the limits here, but he saw straight through Winry's tough girl act, he knew that she pretended she was okay with everything when she wasn't. Hell he remembered the day when he saw Winry crying at her parents graves it had been four years since her parents died, but he knew she still felt the pain like it was just yesterday. He had asked her if she was okay and of course she put on the tough act and said everything was fine when it obviously wasn't. Later that night he woke up and wondered into the kitchen, on his way back to his room he passed Winry's room and he could hear here. Hear her sobbing. His heart broke in two, but there was nothing he could do, he and Al were leaving for Central the next morning. He left without saying a word to her; he simply went back to bed. This time he refused, he resented himself for not checking on her that night, for not making her feel comfort, for leaving the next day and not telling her when he would be back; he just left. This time would be different, this time he wouldn't leave her side until he knew she was safe, wouldn't leave her side until he knew she would was happy.

"AH Ed why do you have to be such an ass! Just shut up okay!"

Winry's eyes slammed shut her arms grabbing her ribs she was trying her best to hold in a scream of pain, Ed could see it; could see how uncomfortable she was, how much pain she was in. If he had any chance of saving her he needed to know what actually happened.

"I'm sorry Miss Rockbell, but you need to keep the noise down in- Oh my Miss Rockbell are you okay, please you must lie down."

The nurse signaled for Winry to lie back down, so she slowly leant against the pillow; not letting go of her stomach the whole time. It actually surprised Ed that it had taken the nurse so long to finally come in and tell him to shut up. The nurse gave Winry some more painkillers and then turned to leave the room.

"Please Miss Rockbell if you need anything, please just ask us okay."

The nurse slowly left the room, Ed swore she gave him an evil glare as she walked out the room; not that he cared anyway. He waited for the nurse to be long gone before he started at Winry again.

"Winry I'm sorry, but you need to understand that I'm trying to save your life here."

His voice softened, he finally realized that yelling at her wasn't going to work; he needed to remain calm and win her over. He slowly walked over to her bed and sat on the side, Winry had to admit she was happy to have him closer again.

"Please Winry, please, you can't keep this bottled up, you can pretend to be brave all you want, but I see straight through it. I know your hurting and I know your scared, I swear God must be out to get us, taking our families away then trying to take you away. I can't lose you Winry, who would look after my auto mail you always made the best. Who would keep Al and I in line? I need you Winry, we both do. So why are you so scared to need us? You fixed me, you gave me auto mail; you gave me back my ability to walk; to live. Please just let me try to…"

Ed got stuck on his words, he hated talking like this it made him feel like a child, so vulnerable but he had to say it.

"Try…try to fix you like you fixed me!"

Winry's eyes shot open, the boy that she was always trying to get to open up to her finally did, he finally told her what he was really feeling, but she was never expecting him to say that. She was tired, she'd had enough of fighting Ed could tell. He could tell he was about to win.

"Okay, you win."

SCORE

"…But Ed, there's just one thing; Envy-"

Winry felt like she was choking on her words, she was barely able to get the rest of her sentence out; she felt yet another tear roll down her cheek.

"Envy wasn't the one who stabbed me."
