And welcome to another chapter! I would like to start off by thanking whimsicalMedely for adding this story to her favorites. I'll try to not let you down in the coming chapters. As usual, I don't own Ed, Winry or the rest of the cast and I don't own "I Don't Dance". Yes, it's country and yes I love it. Enjoy!
I Don't Dance by Lee Brice
Edward Elric could tell you for a fact what type of man he was and wasn't. He could admit to being hot headed, particularly when teased about his height. He could also admit to being a little arrogant, loud, and none to happy to stay in one place for too long, believing himself to not be the kind that ever settled down. But he would proudly tell you that he was loyal to a fault, going above and beyond for his friends and family, if you didn't really expect him to include his father. He would boast about his knowledge and skill in alchemy, which bored most people to tears.
He wasn't an overly romantic individual, sweet words and romantic gestures difficult for him to really get across. He was a man of action, one who burst into a situation head first and then stopped in the thick of it to really think about a plan that he hadn't considered before. So it came as a surprise when he walked into the kitchen of Winry Rockbell's yellow house to see her in the kitchen, humming to herself with her eyes closed as she waltzed around the room, and without thinking stepped up as she was getting ready to pass him and gently took her right hand in his left one, his right arm slipping around her waist and pulling her close as her free hand landed perfectly on his shoulder. Her eyes shot open in shock, relaxing a little as she smiled lovingly at him and continued humming. Edward led her around the kitchen with ease, something that took him by surprise.
This type of thing wasn't his style, falling into the romantic gesture category of actions that he believed himself to be incapable of. But, for the pretty blond in his arms he was willing to be and do anything just to see her smile.
Even if that meant performing a sappy gesture like dancing around the kitchen with the love of his life.
I hope that worked out fairly well. Lord knows I don't ever imagine Ed dancing with or for anyone but Winry every now and again. As always, please review!
