Fullmetal Love

~Ed POV~

The first thing I do when I get home is call Winry. Strangely enough, what happened between us actually brought us closer.

But she doesn't pick up.

I sigh. I guess I can make this decision but... I think Winry's input would have helped me make a more rational choice.

I don't want to rush into anything because my judgement is clouded by emotions.

And I know it's crazy and stupid and everything, but for some reason I feel hopeful, and excited, the same way I felt after Roy first told me he loved me that night. I guess the bad thing about not letting myself feel anything when Roy broke up with me, about pushing my feelings away and just ignoring him, was that I never really got over him. And now here I am, lost in a whirlwind of emotions that I would never have had to face if I had just let myself cry when I needed to.

But do I take him back? On the one hand, he messed up big time and I don't know if I can give him another chance. Don't know if I can forgive him, or trust him. But... but he looked so lost. Like a man who has no purpose in life. I don't want to see him like that. I want him to be happy again. And I want to be with him.

I've made up my mind. It's a risk, but one I'm willing to take.

The next day, I go to Roy's office after work. Unsurprisingly, he's still there, finishing off some work.

"Hi."

He turns around abruptly, "Ed. You made me jump a bit."

I can't help laughing a little. "Sorry."

"That's okay. So..."

"I've made up my mind. I want to give you another chance. But I think we should take things slow for a bit. This is kind of weird for me."

He looks surprised, but also unbelievably happy.

"You're serious?"

I nod. "I'm serious."

"Thank you. Thank you so much."
