Chapter 10
Edward picked Winry up in his truck, helping her into her seat so she wouldn't snag her dress. The two talked casually the ride to the dance. Edward just smiled as he listened to Winry talk about her mechanics. She was always so enthusiastic about it. He felt a feeling swirling in his gut. The Elric started to get lost in his own mind, tuning Winry out. He knew he liked her a lot, but when he looked at her it felt like magic. All of the sudden everything seemed different. …Did he love Winry?
"Ed? You okay? You just spaced out."
He was awakened from his trance, "Yeah! I'm fine. Completely fine."
"Don't worry me like that. I thought you'd gone deaf for a moment."
"Sorry. I have a lot on my mind."
Winry giggled, "No need for that. We're supposed to have fun tonight!"
"Yeah… fun."
Edward simply refused to get out on the dance floor. He claimed he "wasn't much of a dancer". But Winry danced her heart out as Ed watched from the sidelines. He smiled as he watched her enjoy herself. The blond glanced over at his brother and Mei. That little girl was obsessed with Al, but he guessed that was okay. At least Al was better with girls than he was. Ed was amazed he got a girlfriend to begin with.
It was then Rose snuck up behind him, she gave Ed a nudge, "And why aren't you dancing with your girlfriend?"
"I'm a really bad dancer. I'd rather not embarrass myself."
"Then why'd you ask her to a dance?"
"Because she really wanted to come! Now who did you end up here with, Mrs. Popularity?" He sneered.
"Kain Fuery."
"Really? That's not someone I'd suspect you to come with."
Rose tossed her hair over her shoulder, "Yeah, but he's a cutie. I don't mind. He's really sweet."
"Well I'm glad you found someone to bring you."
"Yeah, me too."
Winry trotted up to Edward eagerly, "One dance."
"Winnnn…" He whined with a pout.
"Please, just one. I don't want to be that girl that has a date that won't dance with her. Please, Eddy, please."
Rose grinned, "C'mon Ed, be a good boyfriend."
He groaned, "Fine."
"Yay!" Winry grabbed her boyfriend by the arm and dragged him out to the dance floor. She wound her arms around his neck as Ed awkwardly found his footing. He placed his arms around her waist and the two swayed to the slow beat.
"Sorry I'm so awful at this."
"Just don't step on my toes and I won't have to hit you."
"Thanks, that's reassuring."
"I'm just joking," She paused, "Kind of."
He chuckled at her and attempted to keep with her slow pace, "I'm really no good at this. I have no rhythm."
"I know, but you're trying."
Edward snorted, "Wow, you're so nice."
"I'm the best."
"Right."
"Thanks for bringing me to the dance. I know social settings aren't really your thing. It was really sweet of you." Winry smiled as she sat in Ed's vehicle beside him.
"I just knew how much you wanted to go, so I decided that you should."
"Thank you, Ed, really."
"It's no problem."
He walked her to the door, "Well, I guess that's it…" He turned around uncomfortably to leave when Winry stopped him.
"Ed, I think you're forgetting something."
"What's that?"
The blonde yanked him by his collar towards her. She pressed her lips to his in a soft kiss. Edward stood there like a bump on a log until finally he came to his senses. He allowed his lips to dance with hers before she pulled away. Winry smiled at him, "That's what."
"Oh."
Winry smiled at her boyfriend, "See you later?"
"Yeah, see you later."
