At the table, the two brothers told the Rockbells about their lives back in Germany and how they came back to this world. It was a long conversation and hours later they all decided to go to bed. Al and Pinako was the first one to leave, but Winry had to clean up the kitchen, before she could get some sleep.

"You need any help with that?" Winry eyed the person.

"Naaa, I can handle it, but thanks Ed. Besides you have had a long day, you need some rest."

"Yea, you're probably right. See ya' in the morning." Winry nodded.

"Goodnight."

Winry watched him as he walked upstairs. "He has really grown – he looks so much older. The thought of those muscular arms around me and…" She blushed "Oh my God Winry! What is wrong with you? Enough with the naughty thoughts!"

Ed was in his room – lying on the bed. He still found it hard to believe that they were home. That he finally could touch Winry and see her beautiful smile again. He would do anything to make her happy. He had to find a job and he actually got something in mind. Roy had already offered him a job in the military. It was a job, where he could go home every day and not be able to stay away for month, like before. After minutes of thinking, he slowly went to sleep.

Winry woke up in the middle of the night. She had a nightmare. It was all about Ed – again. She had dreamt that he, and of course Al, was still on the other side of the gate. When she woke up, she was scared that Ed's returning was all just a dream, that she had the other night. Then she got out of the bed and went to the room, where Ed slept – that is, if he really was back home. She opened the door and smiled at what she saw. It was Ed, sleeping peacefully in his bed.

"So it wasn't a dream after all" she thought. After a while, just looking at him, she walked slowly to the side of his bed. She couldn't help herself but get tears in her eyes for the second time that day, but she was just so happy to see him. Unable to move. Suddenly Ed turned in his sleep, as if he could sense her presence. Then he opened his eyes and looked at her.

"Winry?" He said with tired voice and yawned. "What's wrong?"

She sniffed. "N-nothing… I just-" and then she paused and sighed. "I-I-I had a nightmare…" she then said, with a low voice. Tears running down her cheek.

Ed panicked, just like he always do when she was crying.

"He-hey Win, don't cry!"

She gave him a small smile. He was confused. "What?"

"Yo-you called me Win!"

"Yeah, what wrong with that? I mean, I've always called you that"

"You have… I'm sorry, you may think I'm crazy. It's just that I've missed that nickname. Missed you calling me that." It was true. She really missed his nickname for her. Ed blushed. They looked at each other and then Ed made a move, which told her to come sit by his side, on the bed. She did what she was told. Silence. Neither of them really knew what to say. Until Edward broke the awkward moment by putting a hand on Winry's shoulder.

"Don't worry Win. We are back home and we are not planning to leave ever again"

She looked at him with big, blue eyes. The moon was shining into the room, which made her eyes even more beautiful – if that was possible. He was lost in them.

"I know. Guess it's just me being silly" she grinned until she realized how close his head was to hers. "When did he come this close?" Not that it bothered her. She liked being this close to him.

"Winry…"

"Y-yeah?"

"I'm so sorry I didn't brought you a gift…" She took one of his hands in hers.

"Oh Ed, don't be stupid. You guys came home, that's all what matters to me!"

"B-but…"

"It was my only wish… For you to come home." She gave him a sweet kiss on the right cheek.

"Yeah, Al and I …"

"No Ed. I mean, yeah I'm glad that Al came back too, but you are the on that I lo-" she paused. Was this a good idea? To tell him how she really felt about him?

"That I lo…" Sigh. "I love you, Ed!" she looked down at the sheets. Then she suddenly felt a warm hand on her cheek, which made her look at him once again.

"I love you too, Winry…" They both leaned in and then their lips touched for the very first time. Ed wrapped his arm around her wrist, to get her closer to him, and deepened the kiss. Neither of them had tried this before, but they both enjoyed it. They kissed for minutes, before they had to break apart, to get some air. They couldn't stop smiling.

"Well, guess I have to go to my room. I really need some sleep…" she then said. Ed hugged her and whispered something in her ear.

"You could stay here with me, you know." She didn't say anything, but only gave him a shy nod. They laid on the bed and Ed pulled her closer to him – wrapping his muscular arms around her, and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight my beautiful Winry." He whispered into her hair.

" 'Night Edward" She smiled to herself. This was a new beginning and she couldn't wait for more nights, like these, to come.
