Fullmetal Rock Chap.18

With this question weighing heavy on his mind as he drove her home he knew he had to talk to her father. It wouldn't be right to ask her without her parent's permission. Was he old fashioned? He smiled to himself as he looked over at her staring out the window of the van. Yeah he knew he was. As they reached her house he turned the van off and walked around to open the door for her. Yeah he was defiantly old fashioned but that was nothing to be ashamed of. Putting his hand out to help her out of the car she took it eagerly and he smiled.

She had come a long way in the past month and a half from the shy girl he had met as a science partner. She had kicked her attacker in the nuts, fought with two bitches, brought her voice to a whole other level and now she was driving him crazy to the point he wanted to give up his very being to be with her. He never thought he would ever find someone to love as he loved her at this very moment.

As they got to the door Winry opened it and they went in. Her parents were sitting in the living room and Edward knew he needed to talk to her father. So after an hour of chitchat he asked Mr. Rockbell to go outside with him. As they got outside Edward was so nervous, even his first time on stage he wasn't this nervous as they stopped by the railing.

Mr. Rockbell could tell something was weighing heavy on Ed's mind due to the fact he wasn't talking that much "What's on your mind Edward?" He saw the boy's head go down and his bangs fall forward. Edward tried to come up with the right words to say what he wanted to but when he lifted his head and opened his mouth "I want to marry your daughter!" he said quickly.

Mr. Rockbell stared at him for a second then slightly smiled "Well I see. That's a huge step Ed." Edward had to convince him he was serious as he pulled the ring out of his pocket and opened the box "I bought this in the east and I wanted to ask her but I wanted your permission first." Mr. Rockbell took the ring from Edward's hand and looked at it. He thought it was a true symbol of the way his daughter and Edward felt about each other. Also he had seen a complete change in his daughter since she and Edward had been dating but he wondered if this was truly what it seemed to be or just a fleeting lustful situation because he knew love was blind but true love was what he wanted for his daughter. So he asked Edward a simple question and Edward's answer would convince him. Handing the ring back to Edward he looked at him "Okay Edward why do you want to marry her?"

Edward thought for a moment then smiled "Because I love her" Mr. Rockbell didn't think that was enough till Edward continued talking and surprised him "And because my very soul aches when I'm not with her. She completes me in all the right ways. It's like I'm dead when she not near me but when she is I'm so full of life I want to explode." He looked at the older man "I know you think I'm crazy but Winry is the only girl for me. I don't want anyone else she's funny, sexy, beautiful and full of life and it's that life I want her to have. I want to see her smile every day and laugh and I want to be the one to make that happen. I promise you if you give me your permission I will make her the happiest woman on earth because she deserves to be just that. I will never hurt her and I will protect her with my own life." Mr. Rockbell noticed the look in his eyes as he spoke "I respect her and she's my life I will die without her." Now that made Mr. Rockbell very happy that Edward could speak of such things to him he knew then this was true love. He remembered what Riza had told him about Edward not having many girlfriends and he already knew the boy would protect his daughter and he genuinely thought Edward was the right guy for Winry so he exhaled deeply and Edward thought the worst as Mr. Rockbell put his hand to his chin.

"Edward you're a fine boy but-"Edward's head went down at the all fated but as Mr. Rockbell kept talking "As the circumstances have come to light about what happened to my daughter I think you'd be perfect for her." Did he just say what Edward thought he said? Edward looked up at him "So I can ask her then?" Mr. Rockbell smiled "I would rather have no one else then you ask her son." As they sat there and continued their conversation Winry stared out the window at them "What could they be talking so serious about out there?" Her mother had a feeling but she didn't let on "I don't know dear men are so secretive sometimes."

As they rejoined the women Edward said his goodnight in high spirits and now all he had to do was inform the band of his intentions. He knew his friends would be ecstatic over the situation so he thought he'd inform them tomorrow at rehearsal.

The next day Winry entered Edward's house and they were practicing. This was their sexual outburst session where they all sang graphic songs about, well sex. So as they got started Winry didn't want to join in she just sat and watched her man be sexy as Envy started with Nickleback's 'Somethin in your mouth'' then followed by Ling's 'Bad Girlfriend' by Theory of a Dead Man. Al jumped in and surprised the hell out of everyone with 'Crazy Bitch' by Buckcherry then Rhea with 'I Get Off' by Halestorm. Edward followed that with 'Addicted' by Saving Able which set a subliminal message to Winry and for their last song which sent Winry completely over the edge after Ed's song they ended with 'Cream' by Prince as he did this dance with his hips that made her want to jump him right there. By the end of that session Winry felt she had already creamed herself by Edward's performance and they were all on a sexual high as Envy informed the band when there was a knock at the door he had been dating Greed's last girlfriend Stacy Lust for a couple of weeks now. Envy was the only one in the band without a girlfriend even Ling had a sweet but frightening as he put it girl at home named Lan Fan.

Edward answered the door and Stacy smiled "Hello Edward is Envy here?" Edward just shook his head "Yeah he's over there." as she walked in she stopped and turned to him "Hey listen about that night I had no idea he had raped all those girls and well-" she paused and looked at him again "I guess if you wouldn't have stopped him I would have been next. So thank you." Edward smiled at her "It's alright it takes more than grabbing my hair to do damage to my head."

She walked over to Envy and the way they embraced Edward could tell he liked this girl a lot and he was glad she hadn't endured the vicious side of Joshua Greed.

Walking over to Winry she couldn't control herself as she stuck her tongue down his throat deeply and he knew that they weren't going to be able to hold out much longer as he grabbed her ass and lifted her to his hips as she wrapped her legs around his waist holding onto her he walked her to the stairs and then sat her down. "I have something want to talk to you about." She looked at him as he sat her on the stairs and everyone crowded around even their parents had seemed to come out of nowhere. 'When did they get here?' she thought as she wondered what the hell was going on because he looked so serious. He bent down in front of her and then smiled at her swallowing hard "Winry these past few months have been the best of my life and I want to tell you I love you dearly with all my heart." She thought something was wrong till he reached in his pocket and brought out a little box "I found this in the east and I want you to wear it as a token of our love if you would agree to be my wife." Her eyes widened as she sat there and tears formed in her eyes. He just asked her to marry him and even after he knew what had happened and they hadn't even had sex yet he still wanted her. She was stunned, shocked and happy all at the same time and as she looked at him she realized she hadn't answered him yet as he raised an eyebrow at her "YES! ED! OH YES I'LL MARRY YOU!" All the band members began to breathe again as she threw her arms around his neck.

Leaning her back he opened the box and she saw the ring with two hearts intertwined with the diamond in the middle "When I saw this it reminded me of us." He took her hand and placed the ring on it and she burst out in tears as she kissed his lips. The taste of her tears was enough to make him ache from the love he had for her. Everything was swimming around in her brain as she looked at everyone and smiled. Then turning to her parents "You knew about this?" she asked questionably and her mother nodded "He can be very persuasive." He dad shook Edward's hand as he stood up then looked at his daughter "He also made a very good point of telling me he'd die without you." He smiled softly "And he loves you more than anything and that's what counts."

Riza was in tears as Roy put his arm around her "At least well have beautiful grandchildren." She looked at Edward "Thank God you didn't fall this deeply in love with that other one."

Edward walked over to her and hugged her "You and Roy taught me to search for love and wait for it to find me." He looked at Winry "Well this one was literally picked for me." Remembering that day their science teacher put them together that day, "Remind me I must thank Mr. Zack's for that." Everyone was in celebration mode as Roy broke out the champagne for the parents and the kids had Pepsi of course because none of them drank. After toasting the happy couple Edward, Winry and their parents sat down to discuss a date and what Edward planned on doing. When he informed Riza he wanted to join the military she wasn't too happy about "What about college?" Edward smiled "Al's more the college type I'm more the fighting type." Roy raised an eyebrow "He does have a point." Then he stated his argument about supporting a wife and kids someday and she realized her son actually had a good head on his shoulders then she reluctantly agreed. They set the date for a week after graduation which was next week because both Edward and Winry knew they couldn't wait any longer to be together. The two mothers knew they had to hurry and put this wedding together with Winry. Winry and Edward both agreed they wanted a small wedding with just immediate family and their friends. After the discussion was over Mr. and Mrs. Rockbell left their daughter in the capable hands of her now fiancé.

Winry had spent the night again in Edward's bed and although last night was the biggest test of his self-control he had ever faced. It had started when he went and took a shower upon coming back to his room she was standing there in a T-shirt that hit right below her ass. Walking up to him they began a dance with their tongues again as she backed him up to the wall this time. Still wearing a towel he tried to fight the urge to just throw her on the bed and have his way with her but she was very persistent herself as she began to run her hands all over his body. He of course did the same and taking her arms he turned her and pinned her to the wall by her wrists as he stared passionately into her eyes. His hands slide slowly down each of her arms to her face as he grasp her face and ravished her lips. This heating moment went on for a while as he picked her up and walked her to the bed. Then he looked down at her then his towel "Winry this is really hard for me so I'm going back into the shower and taking a very cold one and when I get back were going to sleep okay." She smiled realizing she had probably pushed him to a very sensitive point and by the looks of the towel she knew she had.

She smiled at him and his heart softened "I'm sorry Ed I just want you so bad. I don't understand why my body aches for you to touch me." He leaned down and kissed her head "Soon my love very soon well be together but I want to wait till your my wife to have you." She now understood what he meant making love now wouldn't make it that special when they were married so she nodded to him "Your right it's not the same if it's just because we can't keep our hands off each other."

"Oh trust me when were married my hands will be all over you in places you don't think my hands belong." He grinned and turned to go back to take his cold shower as she lay there thinking about what their wedding night would be like.
