Thanks for all the reviews in such a short time! Here's the other piece to the last chapter, literally a piece cause it's REALLY SHORT. After this, there's only one more: the epilogue! Thanks for staying with me all this time! Now, STORY TIME! xD

I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist but that doesn't mean I can't snap my fingers at random people I don't like. If only I had those gloves. . . and flame alchemy. . . 8D

Ch. 11 - Trust

(:

Once they were almost home, he stopped and turned her so that she could face him. She looked up at him with curious blue eyes. "Winry, I just wan-ted to say thanks. You helped me a lot back there and I really… appreciate it."

"That's what I'm here for, Ed. No matter what troubles you, I'll do my best to help."

"I know. You didn't have to, but you did. And I'm really grateful to have someone like you," he said. "But I'm sorry that I just kind of threw all of my problems onto your shoulders. The last thing I want is you worrying about me and my issu-"

"Ed," she said, placing a silencing finger over his lips. "Don't. Don't ever be sorry for opening up to me." She let her hand fall to his shoulder as she spoke, "No matter what thoughts linger around in your mind or what you have to say, you can tell me and I won't judge you. Whether its about alchemy or your dad or anything else, I'll always listen."

He was pleasantly surprised by her honesty. "Thanks, Win." That was all he could say at the moment and apparently it was enough, he realized as she smiled at him.

"No, thank you, Ed," she replied.

"Huh? But what for?" he asked, not expecting that answer from her. After all, he had just stated that he was the thankful one in this conversation.

She stood on her tip toes and moved his bangs out of his face as she kissed him. Although, he was surprised by her yet again, he melted into the kiss with ease, always happy to taste her sweet lips. But just as soon as it started, it was over. She smiled once more, enjoying his glazed golden eyes before she spoke.

"Because you trusted me."

A/N - Short, but its the end for now. Until the epilogue, which I'm working on! HAHA! I specifically wanted to end this chapter with this line or something close to it. Yes, it's because of the title even though the title itself came from somewhere else. While I was listening to the song 'Trust' by L'Arc~en~Ciel, it all just clicked in my brain! And I decided on the title for the fic! Of course, later that day, I remembered that the second opening of the original FMA has a scene where Winry lends Ed and Al a hand in the middle of a rainy day to the lyrics of 'Ready, Steady, Go!' -also by L'Arku- and the title made even more sense to me. O8

But enough about the history of the title! Thanks for reading and I hope to see ya'll again next chapter! xD
