Hi guys! I have so many stories I'm working on that it's insane! But this story popped in my head and after a few threats...I decided I should write it. The first POV is unknown...but you'll easily figure it out... This story is probably the most dramatic I have going on right now. Of course...it's not that dramatic yet. The characters might be slightly OOC right now...they'll get more in character as this story goes on. I feel like the romance is rushed...so I'm going to slow it down some after this chapter. And the plot a little too... so this need to be slowed down. So this will get better as I write it! It might be rushed now but I'll fix it. So don't hate it! Dx Anyway~ Thank you for reading!

Disclaimer: ...I'm not Himoru Arakawa...if you'd even think that...there's something wrong with you.

It was dark…I couldn't see anything. There weren't any lights around these streets…I didn't understand it at all. It'd make sense that she didn't see them until she saw the headlights… Coming from no where. All I did was hear her gasp and I new something was wrong…then I saw the lights. "Mom!"

The next thing I saw was my brother, in the hospital being rolled next to me on a bed. He glanced over at me and I saw his drooping half-lidded eyes. I was horrified to see the oxygen mask on his face. It was then I noticed I also had one on my face. My entire body was numb…I couldn't feel anything. I just kept my eyes on Alphonse…I gave him a small smile as he returned one to me. I nodded and he returned it, seeming to understand what I meant. We'd be okay…we'd be okay… I was then rolled away from my brother.

I saw the doctors hovering over me, "He's lost a lot of blood!" I did…? I don't remember… I flinched as I recalled the memory of the headlights, "Where's my mom?" I asked them.

They remained silent and stuck a needle into my arm to knock me out, "Please, where's… my… mom…?" I begged as I lost consciousness again.

I awoke with a start and sat straight up in my bed, "Damn…" I breathed heavily and began to try to calm myself. I glanced over at the clock, 3:56 A.M. Damn it, this sucks. I just wanted to sleep. But, seeing as though that wasn't going to happen, I got up and limped my way out of my room. I passed my brother, Alphonse's, room to see him sleeping peacefully. I smiled contently at him, knowing he was fine.

Winry POV…

"Shoot, not good, not good!" I glanced around the hallways desperately trying to find what class I was supposed to be in once the first bell rang. It hadn't yet…which I was lucky for. Getting there about 20 minutes early did the trick…well it would if I could find my classes!

"I take it you're new?" A feminine voice asked from behind me.

I immediately spun on my heel to see a student, she seem to be at least a year old than me, "Um…yes…"

"I'll help you if there's anything you need…"

I nodded to her, "Thank you! That means so much to- oh wow…"

That's when I saw him. My heart pulsed and caught in my throat, he was amazing. Golden blonde hair pulled back in a braid, bright golden eyes, he wasn't the tallest guy around, but he had a few inches on me. Then only thing that confused me was the long-sleeve shirt and jeans. Most of the guys here were wearing t-shirts and kaki shorts. But he was different

The student smiled, "He's gorgeous right? I have a boyfriend…but even I admit that he's not bad on the eyes…"

"Who is he…?" I asked timidly.

"That's Edward Elric, he's actually a friend of mine. I actually feel bad for the poor guy…"

"Huh? Why's that?"

Her voiced became more hallow as she spoke, "Edward spends more time in the hospital than he does at school or home. When he was younger he, his mother, and brother were in a car accident. His brother lost consciousness and went in a coma…and his mother died. His brother came out of the coma a year later…but just in that year time period Ed did nothing but worry about his brother. Not himself. His immune system began to weaken. He hardly slept, ate, drank or did anything."

I gazed up at her wide eyed, "So he literally, worried himself sick?"

She nodded, "Yes. You've probably noticed that Edward is wearing long-sleeves and pants… that's because two of his limbs are prosthetics."

"He lost them in the crash?"

"Yes…" She paused then laughed, "I'm sorry. You probably think I'm a terrible friend giving out so much information about him… but if you'd like to get to know him, you can. You can get stuck with me, I'm Riza by the way….Riza Hawkeye." She held her hand out to me.

I placed my hand in hers and shook it, "Winry Rockbell, and no, I don't think that at all. And…thank you…for telling me…"

Riza nodded, "It might be best to avoid the topic before you get to know him…"

I nodded back, "I understand."

That afternoon it was time for lunch. Riza showed me to the table that everyone usually sat at outside at a long picnic table. I found it very cool that the school had these…and there was no fencing! They trusted everyone to actually stay at school? Wow…

Riza introduced me to everyone, Roy Mustang, her boyfriend, Jean Havoc, Maes Hughes, and his girlfriend Gracia. Then there was Alphonse Elric…Edward's brother. He smiled polity and said a friendly hello. When I was introduced to Edward all I got was a 'hey' and then silence. Riza gave me a look saying 'He'll come around' and sat down.

I sat down next to Riza across from Edward. Every time I looked up, Edward was staring at me. I'd quickly look down and continue to eat. Roy, who was sitting next to Ed on his left, nudged him, "Ed, quit it, you're probably creeping the girl out."

My head shot straight up and Edward's eyes grew hard as he turned to Roy with a death glare, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"You keep staring at her! Do you not notice!"

"N-No I wasn't!"

Alphonse, who was to Ed's right, laughed, "Brother…you were."

"You too Alphonse!"

Alphonse grinned, "Maybe."

"I-It's fine…" I murmured.

Edward sighed, "Sorry for staring…I was just thinking…"

I shook my head and smiled, "It's alright."

"I guess I was just thinking I didn't really give you a proper greeting…"

I felt Riza slightly nudge me, as if saying 'I told you so,' "I said it was alright, Edward."

"Call me 'Ed'. Please?"

"Okay Ed…"

"But hang on there, let's start over the greeting here… Hi, I'm Edward Elric, nice to meet you." He said as he held out his flesh hand.

"I'm Winry Rockbell, nice to meet you as well." I replied as I took his hand. As soon as I touched his hand…it felt like a spark. My eyes widen and so did his. Did he feel it too?

We stared at each other with a light blush on our cheeks then snatched our hands away at the same time. If anyone noticed, they didn't say anything.

"S-So, um, Winry, do you have a phone?"

I nodded, "Y-Yeah, why?"

"C-Could I possibly have your number, maybe?" He murmured.

"Oh sure!" I replied with a smile.

Riza nudged me slightly once again, What did that one mean…?

After exchanging numbers and a few moments of silence Edward finally spoke nervously, "S-So Winry, what're you interest?"

"Well I-"

"Edward, stop interrogating the poor girl!" Roy sneered.

"What the hell, Roy! She's new! How the hell are we going to find out anything if we don't ask! Geez," Ed turned back to me, "Sorry. Ignore the tall guy with the black hair."

I giggled, "It's fine. Um, I like mechanics…?"

Edward tilted his head at me, "…Really?"

"Yeah…"

"That's odd for a girl…"

Just then Alphonse's hand made contact with the back of Ed's head, "Ow!" He growled. He then paused and held his head. Suddenly, he gagged and covered his mouth and ran towards the tree that was near the table. I stood immediately speed after him, ignoring the calls coming from behind me. I reached and grabbed his bangs and braid to pull away from his face as the pile release from his throat. I struggled to keep myself from puking as well… As the last of it finished, he turned and stared back at me. I reached up and wiped the rest off his mouth with my hand then quickly smothered it into the grass. He watched me closely, seeming stunned.

"You…didn't have to do that. My head jarred forward and the movements made me sick…if you were wondering."

"Are you alright…?"

Ed nodded, "Yeah… I-I'm sick a lot…"

I raised a brow, pretending to be confused, "What?"

"I-I have an extremely weak immune system. I could throw up from spinning a few seconds."

"I see…"

He rolled up his right sleeve, "And this isn't real…"

My eyes widened, the arm…wasn't a normal prosthetic. It was more metallic it seemed, "Wow…"

"Alphonse and I were in an accident when we were younger…and we lost our mother…"

"I'm sorry…if it helps…my parents died in a plane crash…so now I live with my grandmother…"

His eyes grew extremely wide, "I-I'm so sorry to bring it up! I-I didn't mean…."

I only laughed, "It's fine Ed…but…I have a question…"

He nodded, "Anything…"

"I just met you, and you're telling me your life story…how could you trust me like that?"

He looked down, a stupid grin plastered on his face, "You felt it too, didn't you? When our hands touched…?"

My face flushed, "W-Well yes…b-but…"

"I just think I can trust you…"

"S-Shouldn't we get back to the table?"

His grin faded to a small smile, "Yeah…"

"He's at the hospital?" I asked concerned as the information Riza just gave me sunk in.

"Yeah, Al said he started running a high fever last night and they couldn't get it down… But I already told you he's at the hospital more than he is at school or home, didn't I?"

"Are you going to visit him?"

"I wish… Every one usually only visits him unless it's way more serious…"

My heart dropped to my stomach. How could they not visit him all the time? Wouldn't he get lonely? If his only company was his brother…shouldn't they go see him too?

"That's sad…" I replied looking downcast.

"I wouldn't mind to see him…but…it's just so frequent…and it cost money for gas and…" Her voice trailed off.

"I'll go see him." I told her bluntly.

"What…?"

"I don't care about money; I'll go see him every damn time he's in that hospital."

"Winry…you just met him…"

I paused, "W-Well…um…"

"Did something happen between you two yesterday? When you ran over to him?"

My eyes widened as I blushed, "N-Not really…"

"The blush on your face tells me otherwise." She teased.

"N-Nothing really…" I stuttered.

"Tell me…"

"W-When I touched his hand…there was just a spark… and then when we went over there…he told me everything about him… His entire life story to a girl he just met… When I asked him why he said he felt that spark too…"

"Love at first touch? That's a new one…" Riza grumbled.

"Y-Yeah…well after school I'm going to see him…"

Riza sighed, "Be my guest… you should ask Alphonse to go with you…"

"No. I'm going alone…"

She only stared at me, "What?"

"I'm going alone…" I insisted as the bell rang, "Well… I have to go to class. Talk to you later, Riza."

"Hello, can I help you?" The woman at the front desk asked me.

"Yes, I'm here to see Edward Elric…"

She smiled, "He's in room 405. The last I heard his brother had come and he was asleep… if he is you might want to wake him."

I nodded, "Yes ma'am."

I made my way to his hospital room and poked my head inside. I saw Ed sleeping without a care in the world. Not worrying about school or anything. Riza informed me at lunch that because Ed's in the hospital so much…the teachers don't even give him make-up work. He's not even in class but he still passes everything he's at school for with A's. I found that kind of amazing. I walked over to his bed and gently shook his arm, "Edward…"

Grumble. Grumble.

I sighed, "Come on, Ed. Time to wake up…"

"Mom…?" He murmured sleepily.

I felt my heart drop to my stomach. I thought it'd be best to pretend I hadn't heard that, "Ed…its Winry…wake up."

"Win…ry?"

"Yes…?"

His eyes fluttered open and he gazed up at me, seeming shocked, "H-Hey…"

I smiled, "Hey."

"What…What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to visit you…"

He scoffed, "It was just a fever…"

"So! You're in the hospital!"

"Didn't I already tell you I got sick a lot!" He growled.

"I know but…don't you get lonely?" I asked.

Ed shrugged, "Maybe sometimes…but if it's severe enough everyone comes…"

"What happens when it's not that severe and becomes severe…"

"I didn't take you to be the type to be so negative."

I smirked, "I didn't take you to be the type to actually be kind of nice."

"That hurts Winry. That hurts."

"Oh I'm so sorry." I replied giggling.

He smirked, "Oh I know you are."

I turned to see a chair across the room. I walked over to it, picked it up, set it beside Ed's bed, and then took a seat in it. I stared at him, "So…where's Al?"

Ed shrugged, "I don't know… He was hear when I fell asleep…"

"Hmm…I wonder where he went then…"

I suddenly felt Edward's hand grab my arm. I gazed up at him confused as he only stared at me, as if something were on his mind. It was then he began to speak, "I know we only just met…and I'm not the kind to be really…er…affectionate. But there's something about you. I'm not sure what it even is…but you, as crazy or weird as this may sound, you make me drawn to you. Like you're different and I have to figure you out…"

A heavy blush rose on my cheeks, "You're like a puzzle too though…"

It was then his face turned into a blush as well, "You're like…my missing puzzle piece… The one who's going to come in and fix everything."

My eyes widened. What was I supposed to say to that? I only met this guy yesterday and he already trusted me to know his life story. And now he's calling me his missing puzzle piece…who can fix him, fix everything! That's kind of a lot of pressure to put on a new girl… but the way he said he's drawn to me…is the same way I feel about him.

I figured my silence was beginning to bother him, "I'll try to fix what I can…"

He yanked my arm and pulled me into a hug, "Thank you Winry…"
