Author's Note: Slight lemon warning.

I didn't want to break the chapter up into two parts, and I wanted to take my time with it. So sorry for the long chapter.

We Are All Broken

I awoke to the bed rustling, and my name. Yes, I had just heard someone softly speak my name... What time was it? My face was still covered under the blanket, as I pulled it off my head. I could barley see, but there was a blurry image over me. Edward was still in the room, and was looking down right at me. He wasn't smiling, but wasn't frowning either. He had no expression at all. I spoke his name, as I turned toward him and asked what he was doing.

"What's wrong... Edward...?" I bearly whispered, as I tried to push away the sleep in my voice.

"Win. Do you... Do you really want to go back home? Are you happy here? I was thinking, and your right. It really is all my fault you're stuck here, on this side... On this side of the gate...I'm so, so sorry..." His voice trailed off, and he closed his eyes looking away. I heard him suck in a deep breath; his shoulder's fell as a single tear drop fell from his face on to my chin. He sat up on the bed, bringing a flesh hand to his face, wiping another tear from his eye. I watched him try to calm down, holding his breath. He didn't want me to see him cry. Not like this. He hadn't cried in front of me for a long time... I can't even remember the last time I saw him cry. Ed wasn't the kind of person to fall apart from frustration, or physical pain but instead from heartbreak and guilt. And death. It slightly frightened me to see him break down in front of me. I pulled myself up so we were eye level to each other. I reached my hand out to his hand, and pulled it down to my lap. He looked at me, his golden eyes flickering cutting through the darkness.

"No Ed, it's not your fault... Not at all." I looked up at him to find he was looking right back, straight into my eyes. I looked deep into his, diving into his soul. He had stopped crying, but I could see that little boy deep down inside his heart. Edward Elric has been through so much, he always acted so tough and strong. He almost never let anyone see this other side of him. But even through everything he had been through, he was still broken. We are all broken. And it was my turn to comfort him. "Please Edward. Just don't cry... I don't blame you for anything. I'm sorry for what I had said the other day, I was just in a bad moon, an' just don't c-cry..." My voice squeaked, and hadn't been as strong as I wanted it.

Suddenly, with out warning I watched his face cringe and his arms reached out pulling me into him. He dug his warm head into my shoulder and squeezed me tight. He wasn't physicaly crying anymore, he never cried for long periods of time. But I could still feel his body shake.

"I'm so sorry, Win..." He breathed out into my body. My hands found their way to his strong back, rubbing it, trying to calm the tense boy down. I could feel every single muscle in his body shake. A few minutes had passed before he pulled away from me, then slowly started moving toward my lips, as I moved towards his. It happened unintentionally, but it felt like we had planned it all along. I remember the one time we ever kissed, only a few nights ago. And I remember the feeling I had when his tongue had stopped dead. And I remember his eyes snapping open, his beautiful face filled with horror and I remember he tried to cover it up with a hug. But this was different. I felt as though I had melted. Just like it was a hot summer day, and I had melted right there on the concrete. He grabbed my back pressing my chest up against his. A second passed, and then another. Every moment felt better then the last as we continued to kiss. I touched his face as he grabbed my waist. I tried to enjoy every second of it. But after a bit, when my body was in need of air, I was the one to pull away first, gasping but smiling slightly. I studied his face, probably just as red as my own. He was trembling, and had gotten even warmer by the minute; Both of our faces were flushed. He then pushed his lips back against mine once he knew I had caught my breath. My free hand slid it's way up to his warm, sweaty face, pushing a wet, golden bang behind his ear. We fell back on the bed together, still locked. My breathing picked up when I felt him wrap his right leg around my own. I flinched.

"Winry..." He breathed into our kiss. "Is this... You... Ok?" I tried to nod as my arm slipped down his neck, onto his cold, metal shoulder. Although I was afraid, I didn't feel guilty at all. This was something the two of us had always wanted since we were kids. Well this wasn't exactly how I pictured it... But I felt safe with him. I have to admit, I was nervous when the thought first crossed my mind... Edward and myself in a bed together. But it seemed ok. Everything seemed like it was supposed to be this way.

I grabbed his cool, metal wrist, and brought it up to my neck, as I felt his flesh hand intertwine my tangled, blond, hair. With my free hand, I reached around his neck, pulling his hair tie out of a neat pony tail, touching his hot scalp. He shifted, as we both pulled away for the second time. I was so happy, I wanted him so much. My eyes drifted down to his mouth; He wasn't smiling. In fact, we was frowning. I felt his breathing slowly start to pick up and I could see a bit of nervousness in his golden eyes.

"Ed... What's wrong? Is... This okay?" I asked, catching my breath in between each word. Even though I felt completely comfortable doing what we were doing, I wasn't sure if he was. He breathed out my name, lifting his soft hand to the cloth of my shirt sitting on my shoulder. I knew what he was trying to do, but he just couldn't. My hand grabbed it, as I assisted him in pulling down my shirt, off my shoulder. Then the other. With in a second, my shirt had carpeted the floor, leaving me only with a thin white bra covering my body. With out asking, I reached and touched his bear chest. Lucky for me, Edward had entered my room with out a shirt. Only underwear. He hugged me leaning over my waist to unstrap my bra. I waited for it to come lose with my head nuzzled into his soft chest.

"Damn it... Win... I can't do this..." I could feel his face blush, as he looked down at me.

"Edward... Stop for a second. You idiot..." I reached behind my back, and pushed his hand away from the strap. Poor Ed, even though we were both virgin's, it was quite sad he couldn't unstrap a woman's bra. I unclasped it, as he pulled it away. I looked down to his red boxers. He knew what was next, and helped me pull them off as well. He lifted the thin sheet over our heads as we smiled under it in the darkness. I pushed my body over his, laying on top of his warm flesh. He started with a simple peck on my shoulder, then flooded my neck with them. He was shy to touch me, I knew that. But I could tell he wanted me. And I wanted him. But I wasn't ready to make the first move. I touched his face, and tried to encourage him to go first. Although I was nervous, I was ready.

"Go ahead, Ed. Touch me... It's alright..." I whispered into the darkness. Edward's eyes were flooded with doubt for a moment. But suddenly I felt his warm, delicate, flesh hand cup my breast. We rolled over, with me lying on the warm, moist mattress. He bent down, taking in the smell of my salty skin. His hands circled my body, squeezing my hips, stopping between my soft legs. His lips rested upon my abdomen causing me to thrust and cry his name. He liked the noise, and continued to bite and suck the soft skin. He was trembling, but was smiling a lustful grin. I knew he was new at this, but for a new guy he wasn't half bad. His movements were rewarding and relaxing. His trusting hands repeatedly stroked my legs gently, pulling down my panties.

At first he hesitated, but then slowly drifted inside me. His fingers were so smooth, and relaxing. Like nothing I could have ever imagined. However, suddenly, with out warning, another loud moan left my mouth as I sat up and dug my head into his hard torso. I felt him smile, finding a weak spot, and diving deeper inside me. I winced again, enjoying it as much as he was, still a single tear slipped off my cheek. I knew he loved the feeling, after all I think he loved me. We got close enough for him to feel a tear drop on his already wet skin. I wasn't in real pain, but it was my first time and we were both new at this. For a second, many things crossed my mind. Why was I doing this? How did I get into it? But at the same time this was a good slight pain. I was happy. That was the real reason I began to cry.

"Winry.. Are you ok? I'm sorry, it hurts, doesn't it? To cause you pain is the last thing I want..." I let a deep breath out, lifting my suddenly very heavy head up to look into his eyes. I smiled as my hand found it was up to his chest, and around to his back.

"No Ed... Everything is... Fine..." I hugged him as I whispered the word, 'more'.

With that he knew, as he added another smooth finger, and as I moaned his name, bringing a hand up to his sweaty, beautiful hair. He fell onto me, squeezing a hand through my tangled hair. He kissed me again, then I spoke.

"Edward... I want you so much... I really do..." I trailed off before I had decided to continue. "And, Ed?" He ignored my question, as I melted through his finger tips. He was as warm as I was, the heat radiating from my skin onto his. I didn't even want to think about the cool air waiting outside of the warm bed. My thoughts raced back to him as a new small shock of pain ran up my back. I cringed, grabbing his body. I bit his tiny scars that led from his skin to the cool mail. He stopped immediately.

"Damn it Win..." I turned to him as we began to kiss again. It was a soothing kiss, very relaxing as it vanished every bit of discomfort. He pulled away lying his head between my breasts as I brought a hand up to his hair, stroking his forehead. He was tired, completely drained. He was beginning to move in and out, eventually resting his hand on my waist.

"Edward?" I heard him softly grunt. Sleep had already taken over his voice, and I could tell he wouldn't last much longer. So I decided to make what I wanted to say quick. "Ed, I've known you for so long. I learned to accept everything about you..." I let out a long, shaky breath before continuing. "And, I think... I think that maybe there is a good chance that I am falling in love with you..." But it was too bad; He had already drifted off into a heavy slumber. My arms surrounded his head as I cradled it with my soul. My thin hands began digging through his hair as they separated it into three sections. With out command, my fingers twisted the thick strands, weaving one section over the other. Before I knew it, a long braid dangled over his back, as I pulled a black hair tie off my wrist and strapped it around the end of his hair. I never asked why, but he had decided never to wear a braid since he left our world. It was the first time I had ever seen him in one. And I loved it.

I was sure Ed had some sort of feeling toward me. After that act, and sharing a moment that felt so good with someone you cared for so deeply. The reason I was afraid was because I wasn't sure of what to expect. I didn't want to ruin the relationship I had already shared with Ed. And I guess that's because I had always loved him. From a childhood crush to now, I think things are about to get interesting. I stretched my foot, nuzzling my head into his. My eyes unwillingly closed, as two more petals fell, and disappeared into the warm, white sheets surrounding us.

Author's Note: I was really worried about posting this chapter. It was my first lemon-ish chapter I have ever posted on FF, and I was so worried I might screw up the story if i didn't write it well. I looked over this for days, trying to decide how I could make it better. So please, go easy on me, no flames please! Although advice for the future would be great if you have any. Thanks for understanding, and to everyone who has been reviewing and encouraging me to continue! It means a lot :)

Edit: Thanks Kalana Fox for your advice!

And this is still just a taste of the story, I hope to get over 100 chapters eventually. Now we are getting into the plot
