Disclaimer: I would be thrilled if some morning I woke up owning some part of FMA. But I don't.

Time moved fast in battle but also slowed, until it seemed like fractions of seconds went by like hours. He couldn't compare it to this; it wasn't a battle, after all, not even an argument, just Winry, and him, and moonlight. It seemed like her lashes drifted down over her eyes as slow as an hour; that her moistening her lips took a century. Realizing he was staring, Ed turned his gaze toward the moon but it didn't have the same draw as the young woman standing next to him.

"What?" Winry gave him a smile, a little curious; a little confused and Ed realized then, there, exactly why Hughes had taken all those pictures.

Time slipped away so very fast.
