It was about a week after everything happened, meaning Envy is out of our hair, school has ended and it's back to working at the meat shop! I've decided this was the day I needed to tell Winry that I love her. I've spent enough time in the shadows and she's suffered enough with the wrong guy.
"Brother, don't you think it's still a bit soon? I mean, Winry is still trying to get over being abused by Envy…" Alphonse needs to learn something. Like: I KNOW THAT! I'M TRYING HERE!
"Al…I'm going to ask her." With that, I walked out of the meat shop and to her house.
"Ah, hey, Ed. Winry's not home." Thank you, Granny Pinako! Did you have to ruin my happy 'I'm going to tell Winry' mood?!
"Oh, do you know where she went?" I have to play nice, because this old bat would probably whack me over the head with her pipe.
"She actually went to find you. She probably went to the meat shop." I turned around, said goodbye and ran off.
I walked into the meat shop to find Al and Winry talking.
"Hey, Win!" I greeted my crush.
"Hi, Ed. Where were you?" I went to find you because I have the most amazing news to tell you!
"I went over to your house, but your grandma said you left…so, yeah…" Ok, I lost all hope in asking her out…
"Um, Brother, why is Mr. Mustang here again?" Al hitchhiker pointed over his shoulder, to the back room. Inside the room, Izumi, Sig and Mr. Mustang were playing cards and drinking.
"We're supposed to call him...Roy, Mom said we have to…" I tried to avoid the question, because that guy almost ran me over!
"Um…why is Mr. Mustang here?" Thank you for asking, Winry…
"Well, apparently, he and my mom were friends back in school and they met up again." I answered her question, then looked to my little brother. "Can you run shop for a little bit?" It's like Elric telepathy! Al understood why I needed this break! It's not because I'm lazy, it's because I think I know how to tell Winry! I grabbed her wrist and out the door we went.
"Ed! Where are we going?!" She was struggling out of my grip, but I didn't really let up.
"I want to tell you this story and I like this park, so we're going there." We kept walking, then I found it. It was the old park Al, Win and I used to go to when we were kids.
"I haven't been to this place in ages!" I think it was a good idea to bring her to this old place, then. The swings were open, so I dragged her over to them.
"Just like old times?" Back when we were kids, I was always the one pushing Winry and Alphonse, because I was the strongest of us three.
"Sure." She sat down and waited. I gripped the chain links and pulled her back. I let them go and off she went. Winry came back, so I pushed her. This happened a little while longer until Winry spoke up. "So, Ed! What did you want to tell me?!" She laughed out as she swung back and forth.
"Well, do you want to stop swinging?" I think she nodded, so as she came back I halted the ride. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she let go of the chain links.
"Hey! Not like that!" We were laughing, that hasn't happened in such a long time, I almost forgot what Winry sounded like when she laughed. "What's this story you wanted to tell me, Ed?" I got up and offered to help her up. She ignored me and got up herself. We sat down on the swings.
"Well, back when my mom was in high school, she was dating this guy. This man, she truly believed was the one for her, no matter what. But this guy was a little mental. He used to abuse her a lot and she never gave up on the fact that she still loved him and hoped that he still loved her. She was suffering for so long, that her best friend tries to help her out of it. You want to know who helped her out of that situation?" I was hoping Winry would be a little curious about a story that was similar to her's.
"Wait, your mom was in the same problem as me?! Who saved her?!" I couldn't help the smirk on my face. It just wanted to show up.
"Well, it was Sig, who saved her. He had a crush on her during that time, even though they were best friends. He lost his chance to ask her out when the guy did it, but he stayed faithful, hoping for the chance to ask her out. He stayed the loyal best friend, but he had to prove to her that he was the one that truly cared, all along." I was hoping Winry was catching on to what I'm trying to tell her.
"Comparing our stories…I'm Izumi, the victim…that crazy guy is Envy…then that makes you Sig, the best friend…crush. Ed, are you-?" Thank you for understanding!
"Yeah, I was going to ask you out, but Envy got to you first. I was trying to get you to back out of it, but I had to play the supportive best friend. Now, I want to be more than your childhood best pal. I want to be your boyfriend…" I think I just swallow a whole bowl of pride and ego. Well, at least I was able to tell her. I just have to wait for what she says.
"Ed…I-I…yes." I have no clue what just happened, but she hugged me. I think I've finally done the thing I've wanted to do for so long now!
"Really?!" I got up out of swing seat and picked her up. I spun around, then say her back down to Earth.
"Yeah, really!" The best thing in the world happened next! She leaned up to me and kissed me! I didn't notice until it was over that she had cherry lip-gloss on because I could smell it on my lips.
"Whoa…" That had to be the only word coherent coming out of my mouth.
"Come on, lover boy! We have to get back!" Did she just-?
"Winry!" I ran after her.
Conny: Yet another fluff ending...
Lowell: Is 'fluffy' the right word to describe this ending?
Conny: I'll see what Ed, Winry and all of the reviewer think!
Edward Elric: Explain to me, AGAIN, why Win had to go through all that?!
Conny: Grr...Fullmetal, why can't you listen the first time?! Must I make you suffer with an angsty songfic later?!
Edward Elric: Ha! That's SUCH an empty threat! You're on writer's block! You don't have an idea!
Lowell: I have an idea! *Whispers angsty idea to his sister*
Conny: Thanks, Lowell! I'll work on it soon!
Edward Elric: Why do I talk to these people?!
Conny: What did you think Winry?
Winry Rockbell: Um...I would have liked it a bit better if I wasn't abused as much by Envy. He's a pretty nice guy...when he's not around Ed, or thinking about Ed...or-well, he's pretty nice when he's not really him...
Lowell: Where is the logic in that?
Edward Elric: Lowell, I think we have a common understanding right now...
Conny: Look at the time! Please review and if you have ANY requests, just send them! I barely have a life!! All I really have is school, three friends, and THIS!!! Ta! Ta!
