Over-Protective
Ch. 15
Attaching Time
Central- Ed and Al's room
Winry had just finished fixing up his arm and was ready to attach it to him. " Ah man, I hate this part. So painful."
" Stop Whining you baby," She said with a laugh. Ed didn't laugh, he knew how painful it was. " Oh well, I guess you're right. I gotta be a man."
" Alright, Ready?"
" Re-Re-Ready." She had just put it in. " Ahhh!" He grabbed onto Winry's hand for support. Squeezing it quite tightly. She was blushing alot but it was also hurting much. She didn't tell him anything because she knew he had alot more pain than her.
They had finally finshed but he still held her hand tight. " It's alright. All done." She felt his grip loosen until it was finally gone. " Hey Al can you plop him down on the couch?" Al stood from his seat. " Sure." He grabbed Ed and layed him down peacefully. " Thanks. Ah man, my hand feels numb."
" He squeezed to tight?"
" Yeah, though I can't blame him. If I were in his position, I probably would have squeezed alot harder than that." They both laughed. Winry sighed and wiped some sweat off her forehead. " Winry get some rest. You seem tired. Don't worry i'll stay with brother." Winry yawned. " Ok, I woke up early to fix up Ed's arm anyways, so I can make up for some lost sleep." With that she walked upstairs and into her room.
About half an hour later, Ed had woken up. He saw Al was on the oposite side of the room sitting in a chair. " Hey brother, sleep well?"
" No, not really." He said getting into a sitting position. " Hmm, where's Winry?" He said looking around the living room. The blonde was nowhere to be found. " Oh she went into her room to get some rest." Al said looking at some sort of book. " Whatcha looking at Al?"
" It has alot of restaraunts that are suggested for bringing a girlfriend or, wife."
" What are you getting at?"
" I was thinking that maybe you should take Winry out for dinner. I could hold down the fort."
" Should I?" He said looking at Winry's door. " Of course! She would love to go eat with you." Ed looked out the window. The sun was still out, which meaned it still wasn't that late. " Alright, find a special place where I can take her by the time I get back. Not to formal but not to raggedy either. I'll take her out tonight."
" Wait, where are you going?"
" I'll be right back. I'm just gonna get something special, for her."
" Ok, but hurry back."
" No problem."
Then he left closing the door behind him. Then Al saw that Winry
slightly opened the door before completely opening it. " Hey
Winry." He said. " Were you talking to Ed just now?"
"
Oh, um, yeah."
" What were you two talking about?"
" Oh, well, you'll find out soon enough. Would you mind changing into some not so formal, but not too raggedy though, clothes for today?"
" What for?"
" You'll see." She sighed knowing that she wouldn't be able to get anything from him. " Ok, fine." She went back to her room.
After a while she came back out in a black mini skirt, like the one she always wears, and a green and white short sleeve shirt. She went in front of Al and said, " Well?"
" You look great Winry! Brother will love it!" Just then there was a knock on the door. Winry rushed to the door. She opened it revealing a very handsome Edward Elric. He had a red, long sleeve, button up shirt. His sleeves were rolled up to a little above the elbow. He had some dark blue pants that weren't to tight or to baggy. " Wow, Ed, you look freshened up." She said blushing a bit. " You too." He said as kissed her hand softly. She blushed a little more from that. Then he pulled out a dozen roses from behind his back and handed them to her. " Well, you sure are acting like a gentleman."
" Thanks. So are you ready?"
" Ready for what?"
" You'll see." Winry sighed. " It's always the same answer wit you guys, huh. Ok I'll go along with it.Oh and Al, can you put this into a jar so they won't die?" She said holding out the roses. " Yeah, sure." He took the roses and put them into a beautiful vase that was on the kitchen table. " Thanks Al." Ed and Winry both said beginning to leave through the door, arm in arm. " Have fun you two."
