Malchick Gay is the name of a famous tattoo song. I am basing a fanfic off the center idea, Winry being the girl who loves Ed, yet Ed is with Roy in this. Just as the song suggests. I was bored, procrastinating the typing I have to do and I heard the song so I came up with this. Rating:T
Just a one-shot hope you like.
Winry ran down the steps, walking to the door after hearing a metal knock against it's wooden frame. She knew the sound of that, ...automail...Ed's. Her heart beat a little faster as she ran towards the door. She flung it open to reveal Edward and his brother, along with an unexpected guest. Mustang was smirking as he had once again called Edward of a short height.
She flung her arms around the small alchemist, before going to the now human Al. She glared up at Mustang, earning a frown by the three males. Ever since he had told her the killer of her parents, she had a new despise for him and the military. Didn't matter to her, duties or not, never kill your own.
"So what'd you break now?" Winry asked sarcastically as she let the three of them into her and her grandmother's home. Roy looked around with his eyes interested, yet kept his head locked in place. Ed sighed at how well Winry knew his reason for being there. Even after Al's body was restored the two still traveled the country, though for new reasons. He just happened to be in Central when a murderer was at large.
"Just normal repairs, you could probably do it in a few hours or less." He replied as he sat down at the small couch across Winry's desk table. "The only reason the General's with us cause a stupid killer's running a muck in Central and I needed an 'escort' apparently."
As much as Winry argued about doing 3 day replacements of Ed's automail, she enjoyed having him around. She loved him, more then anyone she thought. "Well let me take a look." She sat next to him with her tool box, before waiting for something. "Roy, Al...leave. Might as well go tell Granny your here. Take it you three will be spending the night for dinner?"
"Good idea, c'mon General." Al stepped in front of Mustang, leading him up the stairs to Granny's room. Mustang seemed a little confused as to why he had been forced out of the room, but he didn't push it. He was a guest in this house. Unlike Al and Ed, who had become family to the Rockbells.
Winry waited for Ed to take off his coat and long sleeve shirt before taking out a screwdriver to inspect the arm. "So what trouble have you gotten yourself into recently? Your not messing around with this loose killer, are you?"
"I'm not an idiot Winry, just stubborn. I learned from Scar not to mess with things like that." Ed replied, slightly annoyed that Winry asked if he'd been getting into trouble.
Winry uncovered one of the plates of metal, taking a look at the wirings underneath. She accidentally pocked one of the nerve connectors and Ed flinched in response. "Sorry about that." She tightened some of the loose connections throughout the arm, before looking up at the clock hanging on the wall. Somehow several hours had gone by while she was working on the device, yet it only felt like minutes.
Ed put on his sleeved shirt, leaving his coat on the couch. "I'm gonna go tell the General he can come out of hiding now."
Winry looked at Ed slightly puzzled. When had he started calling him General and not 'bastard' like usual. Maybe he finally grew some maturity being the age of 18 as he was. Or maybe something else between the blond and the General were forming. She threw it off as an absent theory and paranoia, before following Ed up the wooden steps that creaked with each set foot.
She walked into a disagreement between Roy, Al, and their grandmother Granny. Ed listen intensively as to what they were saying and Winry just watched from the door frame. Letting sound fade to a peaceful silence in her mind. She looked over to Ed who had become part of the conversation and smiled as a small laugh was brought to his face. She enjoyed his smile, she enjoyed his presence. It saddened her that she knew he'd be gone by the morning.
"Hey Winry, me and the General are gonna go for a walk, ya mind?" Ed asked and Winry felt a tang of jealousy towards Roy. The man got to see Edward more and when he was finally at her house the man still gained more control over the alchemist then she did.
Yet she smiled anyway, hiding her jealousy. "Sure go ahead." Ed nodded to her before both he and Roy made their way through the house to the outside. She walked to the balcony, where she sat every morning to listen to nature waking up. She saw Ed run to the small river that lined Winry's front yard. A small hill lined the river and Ed plopped on the ground. Roy catching up to him and sitting next to him by the river. She focused her view, seeing that they were kissing. A large gut retching feeling ran through her stomach, and she blinked to make sure what she was seeing was real.
She ran from the high balcony, on her way to the river that the love of her life was currently touching lips with a guy she had always resented, always hated. She didn't even know what she was doing, but tears slowly began to drop down her cheeks. She ran as fast as she could before seeing Ed look up at her. Confusion spread all over his face, and Roy's a well as he investigated what Ed was looking at.
When she finally reached them, the soft blue eye shadow she wore had smeared and her eyes were slightly puffy. She threw herself to the blond, punching him in the chest as she cried into his shirt,. "How could you, I've loved you all this time and you go and fall in love with this military dog? I've been with you for so many years." Ed wrapped an arm around her and motioned for Roy to leave them.
"I'm sorry Winry, I tried to love you at first, but I couldn't. I care for you deeply, but as a sister, not a lover." Ed replied, still trying to calm her down. She only punched his shoulder again, still sobbing into his chest.
"That's not enough idiot, I love you, and you don't love me. Why do you even like Mustang, he's so much older then you," Winry asked, and her tears had slowly began to stop. But she kept her head leaning against him, letting his warmth warm her. Something she knew wouldn't happen very often anymore.
"I love him because he understands the scars I have, and chooses to accept them. He keeps me warm on violent nightmare's and he's perfect for me."
"I could do those things if you let me, I would do anything for you!" Winry yelled at him, feeling shocked at Ed's words.
"It wouldn't be the same, and you know that. Help Al for me, that's all I expect you to do. I wouldn't ask for anything more." Ed replied calmly, knowing that he couldn't watch over Al the same way he always did. Especially now that he wanted to learn things that he couldn't while trapped in the suit. Winry to help him would be fitting.
"Yet you ask Mustang," Winry commented, angered by the love of her life.
"That's the thing, I never had to ask, and he never backed down." Ed replied and he was right, Roy had always helped him without him asking. Sometimes without him even knowing the help was given. If he ever denied, Roy pushed harder to help, something Ed never understood until they had finally gotten together. And now he wouldn't have it any other way.
"Thank you Winry,"
"What the hell did I do for you? I'm crying here into your shoulder, while complaining that you didn't choose me. Why the hell are you thanking me?"
Ed brought up Winry's chin with his fingers, letting her look into his eyes. "For being the sister I never had, and nothing more, nothing less. Thanks Winry, for everything. But I'm going to Roy now, so please don't stay angry at me. I love you, as family, not a lover."
Hope you liked this one, I enjoy writing it. I plan to work on my other things but I wasn't in the mood for editing so I wanted to make something original. Thanks readers and reviewers.
