Fullmetal Rock chap.9
Getting Winry out the door was fine it was trying to get her to the car he was having a problem with so he just scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the car. Standing her against the car while he unlocked the door she leaned into his face "EEED, You're are soooo fucking hoooot." In her slurred speech "Do you know that? I have to tell you I really want to do things with you that my parents wouldn't approve of." Then she snickered in a giggly kind of way. Drugs they were like truth serum and he smiled to himself "Well Winry I have to tell you I want to do things to you your parents wouldn't approve of either but you're in no condition at this moment to do anything." He got the door open and went to sit her down and she grabbed around his neck and pulled his lips to hers. It took everything he had to gently take her arms from around his neck and place them on her lap. Then she took his hand and placed it on her thigh and looked up at him with drugged eyes "Ed I want you to want me." He gently took his hand away and leaned down by her ear knowing full well she wouldn't remember in the morning he whispered "I do want you Winry more than you'll ever know." Leaning back he shut the door and walked around the car 'God what am I doing' he knew he just had to get her home safe he promised Mr. Rockbell and he wasn't one to break a promise.
Getting in the car he started it and began to drive as she watched everything go by. Then she turned to him and placed her hand on his thigh as he grabbed the steering wheel tighter she rubbed her hand up his thigh and leaning over she began to kiss his neck. He pulled over and pushed her gently back as he took her hand from his thigh. "Winry I need you to just sit here alright." He pointed out the window "Watch the pretty colors okay." She gave him a pouty face "What's the matter Ed I thought you liked me?" he placed his hand on her cheek "I do and that's why I need you to just sit here." He put the car in drive again and pulled onto the road as she looked over at him and smiled and leaning towards him she licked his cheek "You taste good" slurring her words she smiled a goofy smile at him that made him chuckle "Your even beautiful drugged up" He said wiping his cheek with his hand and while he did that the drugs became more than she could handle and she face planted into his crotch. Looking down then looking back to the road "Winry" he said but nothing "Winry" still no answer then he knew she passed out so he reached down and turned her head to the side so she could breathe leaving her there and drove home.
He pulled into the driveway and shut the car off and sat there for a moment looking down at her sleeping on his lap. 'What a fucking night' he thought wiping his brow 'Although, I have to admit she pretty truthful drugged up.' It seemed he knew her most inner thoughts now concerning him. So she actually had the same feelings about him that he had about her. He lifted her head and placed it on the seat as he went around to her side opened the door and took her arm and pulled her up. She woke up for a second "W-W-W" she saw his face and smiled "Ed" she whispered and passed back out as he lifted her from the car and carried her to the house. Ringing the doorbell he waited till Roy opened the door.
"Edward" He looked at Winry "What the hell happened?" Edward walked past him "Someone drugged her at the party. They drugged Rhea too. Did Al bring her home?" Roy followed him up the stairs "Uh yeah they showed up about a half hour ago." Getting to his room he kicked the door open with his foot and went and laid her on his bed. Roy followed him into the room "So your letting her sleep here then?" Edward sat next to her on the bed "Yeah I'll sleep on the couch." Roy turned to walk out "Alright then I'll see you in the morning." He said shutting the door to Edward's room.
Edward sat there for a minute then reached down and took his boots off. As he turned around and looked at her lying there so peacefully a shudder went through his body thinking of what could have happened to her if he wasn't paying attention 'I'm going to fuck Vickey's world up' he reached over and moved her bangs out of her face. Then he stood up to take her boots off and as he did she reached up and grabbed his neck pulling him down on top of her putting his hands out to each side of her he caught himself as she smiled up at him.
"Winry I need to get your boots off so you can go to sleep" He told her trying to stand up but she had a firm hold on his neck this time. Looking up she slurred her words "Edward I want you to kiss me." He didn't think that was such a good idea "If you kiss me I'll let you go." What was one kiss if she let him go and go to sleep after it. He looked down at her "You have to promise you'll let me go and go to sleep after alright?"
She nodded her head and gave him a goofy smile a then puckered her lips. He sighed and shook his head as he leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers. But as he did he found he wanted to kiss her more as she opened her mouth and her tongue invaded his mouth. He found himself in a situation at this point as he wanted to keep kissing her but she was really under the influence so he pulled ever bit of strength he had and pushed back away from her face "Alright time for bed girl." Then he pushed off the bed and almost stood straight up as she stared at him "You're not sleeping in here with me?" He gave her a strange look as he pulled her boot off "Uhhhh nooooo that would be a bad idea." he said throwing her boot and grabbing the other one, unzipping it and pulling it off he threw that one too. Reaching to the end of his bed he grabbed the blanket and pulled it over her "I'll see you in the morning." He grabbed an extra blanket, pillow and his pajama bottoms and shut the door behind him as he leaned against it and sighed a sigh of relief.
Riza walked up the stairs to see him leaned up against his door with his head back "Edward what are you doing?" His head snapped forward as he started to walk towards her "I'm going to take a very coooold shower right now." She gave him a peculiar look "Ooookaaay is everything alright."
Edward stopped in front of her "Oh perfect. Winry was drugged at the party and on the way home she couldn't keep her hands off me. I kissed her and didn't want to stop but under the circumstances of her present condition my logical thinking took over. Then she wanted me to sleep in there with her but you know me I'm an honest boy so now I need a cold shower." She noticed the hint of sarcasm in his voice as he said all that.
"I see" she walked to his door and opened it and looked at Winry "You know Ed it's better that you are taking a cold shower rather than taking advantage of her like whoever drugged her wanted too."
He had a look of solemnness on his face as he leaned his head back "I know but why is it so hard to resist her?"
Riza shut the door and walked over to him and placing her hand on his shoulder "You like this girl right?" He nodded "Then it's going to be hard to do some things you know are right. Give it time Edward sometimes rushing into things isn't the answer. You have to let feelings grow and flourish." Riza asked him a deep question "Do you like her just because she's beautiful?"
He leaned his head forward "With Vickey it was for her beauty. But with Winry it's different I like her for who she is inside. I want to protect her. Her voice drives me crazy. She makes my blood boil whenever I'm near her. I drop things and I can't think straight." Riza smiled as she kissed his cheek and whispered "It sounds more like you're in love with her." She then turned and started to walk down the stairs leaving Edward to question what she just said 'Could she be right? Could I be in love with this girl? I've never really been in love before. But if this is love it's confusing as hell.' He sighed and continued his walk to the bathroom and took his shower. While in the shower all he could think about was her "Gahhhhh" he said sticking his head under the water and letting it run down his whole body. After getting out and drying off he got dressed and went downstairs to sleep on the couch. But that night she haunted his dreams so much he really didn't sleep very well.
The next morning he was up playing on the piano when he started singing 'Faithfully' by Journey. Winry had woken up and her head was throbbing really badly as she tried to stand and walk to the door. She opened it and the echo of a piano drew her to the stairs as she heard someone singing. Holding her head she walked down and saw him sitting there hair down, pajama bottoms, barefooted, and no shirt singing a beautiful song she thought as she stood by the door and listened. When he finished she walked over to him and startled him some because he was caught up in the moment "Hey" he said turning around and seeing the look of pain on her face he slightly smiled "Do you need an aspirin?"
She sat next to him on the piano bench with only vague memories of last night. She felt really embarrassed as she turned to look at him "Edward I'm sorry about last night. I only chugged one drink and I don't know what happened." He thought he better tell her or she might think she did everything herself "Forget about it Winry." Her head snapped up "Edward I face-planted into your crotch and passed out. Not to mention all the other things I did but I only remember a few but I can just guess the rest."
"Winry I said forget about it that wasn't you. You were drugged by those guys last night. I saw them slip something in yours and Rhea's drinks." He got up and went and got her an aspirin and a glass of water. When he came back she was silently crying "I have made such a fool of myself." He sat the glass and aspirin down and bent down in front of her "No you haven't it wasn't your fault." He lifted her chin "And besides you made me realize last night how much I truly care about you."
She looked at him surprised "Really. What does that mean?" Smiling at her he gave her a sly look "I could have easily taken advantage of you last night but I really want you to be yourself when that happens."
A smile tugged the corner of her lip as she looked at him. So did this mean he wanted to be with her? She couldn't read his body language but his words were staring her in the face "So does that mean if I am myself you'd take advantage of me?"
Standing up and sitting next to her he placed his hand on her cheek and brought her face to his and kissed her passionately then leaning back he smiled "Yes I would take advantage of you in your right mind." Wow! This was what she actually thought it was he was telling her in a round-about way he wanted to be with her without coming right out and telling her. She thought that was strange till what he told her next "I'm just waiting for you to tell me it's alright to do it."
'YES DO IT!' screamed in her head but she couldn't make the words leave her mouth right at this time. He reached up and handed her the aspirin and water "Here take this it might help." She popped the aspirin and took a drink of water then sat the glass on the piano and turned to him "Ed would you sing to me please?" he smiled at her as he lifted his hands to the keys and began to play a beautiful melody as he sang 'When I was your man' by Bruno Mars to her. Sitting there listening to him sing she realized that yes she had fallen in love with him over the last month and she didn't know how to tell him especially after last night. It may not have been her fault but she thought she made a complete ass out of herself. What did he think of her today? He seemed to act the same around her caring and considerate but she wondered how he really felt deep down inside. It was at that point she got lost in his singing she thought he had such a beautiful voice and as he sang, he sang to her and his voice rocked her very her soul.
