Timeline: Edward and Winry's wedding night
Outline: Edward gets a little nervous when it comes to tradition.
Tonight was supposed to be a special night. It was supposed to be romantic and full of love. It was their wedding day, after all. Wasn't it normal for newlyweds to make love on this exact night? Didn't it signify something special?
Never once had Winry expected Ed to suggest they listen to the radio as if it were the most interesting idea in the world.
"Why?" She asked as he carried her into the nice hotel room.
He gulped hard and that's when she realized it - he was nervous. "I-I just thought it'd be fun" he stuttered, avoiding eye contact as he set her down on the couch.
She smiled. It was so Ed-like, "okay, but only if we can do it in our pajamas"
"D-d-do what?!" Ed asked, jumping away slightly. Gosh, he was so scared.
She laughed lightly, "listen to the radio? And you have to dance with me"
Ed chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, I'd love to dance with you, Winry"
And that's how they ended up spending their first night married, in pajamas, sitting on the couch in their honeymoon suite or dancing to a song that played on the radio.
This same nervousness followed Ed all the way into their second week of marriage. Him constantly finding excuses to not make love to Winry each night and Winry smiling and reassuringly saying they could do something else. It worried her a little bit.
It must've been the meeting Ed had with General Mustang that changed his mind. Because that same night, rather early, he set out a mission and together, they did something both amazing and wonderful.
