Song: What You Mean To Me from StarStruck
Characters: Edward and Winry
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN FMA OR ANY SONGS...if I did why would I be writing this? I'd just make it an official vid XD
It had been 2 years since Ed and Al had first left Resembool, and the Rockbells hadn't heard from them once. On a daily basis Winry would wait near the phone and just wish for a call, just to know that they were ok. Ever since the day Roy Mustang had showed up and suggested Ed join the military, he never acted the same. He wasn't the small, care free Ed that she loved, and she had a feeling that he never would be again.
Winry was working on a new model automail. She was hoping to try it out on Ed, but she knew he probably wouldn't be back for a while. As she worked, she heard a faint tapping at the door.
"It's probably granny locking herself out again" She put the dismantled arm down and made her way up the stairs. The knocking continued.
"Ok ok, geez someone's impatient." As she got closer to the door, she heard the sound of screws hitting the ground. She stood still for a moment.
"Maybe it's a client?" She put her hand on the door knob and opened it a little. She peeked through and saw a broken arm dangling in front of her face. Before even taking into account who the client was, she grabbed the mangled piece of what was left of an arm.
"What the hell happened!" Her client chuckled.
"The usual. Fighting, trying to get bodies back, something along thos lines." At the sound of that voice, she froze and looked up slowly. A pair of golden eyes were looking at her.
"Ed?" He smiled at her.
"What? No hello?" She reached behind her back and swung her arm forward, wrench in hand. Ed flew back and landed flat on his face. He flipped himself over.
"What the hell was that for?" Winry just pouted at him.
"You go away for two years, I don't even get a call or a letter, then you turn up on my doorstep, and only then because you need me to fix your automail! You tell me what's wrong with that Edward Elric!" He just looked up at her, holding his head. She turned and slammed the door in his face. He faintly heard her yell something that he didn't understand. He hoisted himself up and let himself in. He searched the house for her until her finally found her, in her room crying. He went to go in, but she'd locked the door.
"Winry, let me in" She threw a pillow at the door.
"Go away Edward"
"You know I don't have time to visit, I have to get Al's body back..."
"It's not just that anymore Edward" He stared at the door, confused.
"Then, what is it?" She sniffled.
"You're not the same Ed, I feel like I don't even know you anymore" His eyes widened. He knew she was right. He leant his head against her door.
(Ed)
"Can't blame you'
"For thinking"
"That you never really knew me at all"
"I tried to"
"Deny you"
"But nothing ever made me feel so wrong" She looked up from her pillow towards her door. Was Ed actually admitting his feelings?
"I thought I was protecting you"
"From everything that I go through"
"But I know that we got lost along the way" She couldn't move, what was he trying to say?
"Here I am"
"With all my heart"
"I hope you understand"
"I know I let you down"
"But I'm never"
"Gonna make that mistake again" He rested his head against her door.
"You brought me closer"
"To who I really am"
"Come take my hand"
"I want the world to see"
"What you mean to me"
"What you mean to me" She crawled out of her bed and quietly walked over to the door. She placed her hand against it. On the other side, Ed clentched his fist.
"Just know that"
"I'm sorry"
"I never wanted to make you feel so small"
"A story is just beginning"
"But let the truth"
"Break down these walls" He heard her breath. He knew she was close to the door.
"Oh yeah" She opened the door a little and peeked through the gap. Ed stared back.
"And everytime I think of you"
"I think of how you pushed me through"
"And shown me how much better I could be" He pushed the door open until he was standing directly infront of Winry.
"Here I am"
"With all my heart"
"I hope you understand" Winry's cheeks were turning redder by the second.
"I know I let you down"
"But I'm never"
"Gonna make tha mistake again" Ed smiled softly at her, gaining a small smile back.
"You brought me closer
"To who I really am" He held out his flesh hand.
"Come take my hand"
"I want the world to see"
"What you mean to me" She slowly extended her hand out to his.
"Yeah" He smiled and twirled her around.
"You make me feel like I'm myself"
"Instead of being someone else"
"I wanna live that everyday"
"You say what no one else will say"
"You know exactly how"
"To get to me"
"You know it's what I need" Their faces were barely apart.
"It's what I need" He brought his flesh hand up to her face and cupped her cheek softly.
"Yeah" She wrapped both her hands around his.
"Here I am"
"With all my heart"
"I hope you understand"
(Winry)
"I think I understand"
(Ed)
"I know I let you down"
"But I'm never"
"Gonna make that mistake again"
(Winry)
"Oh no" She brought a hand to his face and pushed a bang out of his eye. His smile was astounding.
(Ed)
"You brought me closer"
"To who I really am"
"So come take my hand" He intertwined their fingers and pulled her closer.
"I want the world to see"
"What you mean to me" He rested his forehead against hers.
"What you mean to me" Winry chuckled a little.
"And you didn't tell me this earlier why?" Ed shrugged.
"Wasn't the right time" Winry pulled away.
"And you think now is? You're missing an arm you know. Bit hard to hug and stuff." Ed smiled.
"Well the faster you fix it, the faster you get a hug" They both laughed and headed for the workshop, hand in hand.
