Fixing Heart [Edwin FMA]

Chapter 1 : Welcome Home

The sun was setting down to let the night take place as winry was finishing to work on a new model of automail. She rubbed her forehead and sighed in exhaustion. She looked at the sunset throught the window. 'I should maybe go eat something and go to sleep' She thought to herself as she was cleaning her desk from some sludge and metal pieces.
She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. She just took some stew that pinako has made yesterday for dinner, then she sat and began to eat.
'Al and Ed would have love to eat this with us...' She thought with a heavy feeling in her chest. It's true , she cannot deny that she missed the two brothers a lot, especially this short tempered pipsqueak. She Nervously Laughed at the last words she heard from Edward. She is not sure what he meant by thoses, but she know that he made an effort to tell her what was on his heart. She think It's kinda cute from him but she is still very confused.
'Did he really mean this or...?'
She felt her cheeks becoming warmer than it should normally be.
-No way ! She yelled at herself, hiding her red face in her hands.

-What the hell are you yelling at?! Yelled back a familiar voice.
Surprised, she got up, took her wrench from her pocket , and turned herself to face the owner of this voice that she knew too Well.
-What the fuck are doing in this house, this late, Edward Elric?! She was trying to be mad at him, but it sounded kinda fake. The fact was  that she was really happy to see him. But no way for her to show him that.
-Well, I knocked to the door and Granny let me in? He explained to her like if he was talking to a five year old girl.
She put back her wrench in her pocket, Edward was surprised that she didn't threw it at him.
-Anyway. There is some stew in the fridge. I will go to sleep. Good night. She said in an emotionless tone. She began to walk toward the kitchen's door without glancing at him, but she felt a hand on her shoulder. His right hand. She wasn't used yet to feel flesh on there.
-Wait winry. Is something wrong ? You... seem a bit weird. He said worried. She got pissed that he saw that something was wrong.
-No, I Am just tired. She answered with an unnatural smile as she softly pushed his hand away. He wasn't good at reading people but he clearly knew that something was off with her.
He took her arm and pulled it to make the blond mechanic face him.
-You complain that I don't open up enough to you but you're not any better ! Tell me what is fucking wrong ! Aren't you happy to see me ? He was almost screaming at her.
She let down her eyes to look at her feet.
-Yes I Am happy. Of course. It's just that...
She stopped herself. She didn't really knew what was wrong. She quickly glanced at him and went back to her feet. She felt weird.
She Always thought she would be full of joy when he would come back at home, but something was off.
She was happy. Of course she was. But there was something missing and she couldn't tell what.

Edward was more and more worried. He thought she would be mad at him and then happy as usual. But here, she looked depressed. He was trying to figure out what he could have done wrong to make her feel that way.
He slowly approached her and put one of his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
-I am sorry. He whispered to her ear.
She was shocked. Did Edward Elric said he was sorry? She was wondering if she was dreaming or something, because this stupid pipsqueak is never sorry for anything! Not even when he ruin her precious automails!
-You were worried uh ? I should have call you, I know... And, I should have told you before coming at your house. And I should have take care of my automail... He seemed to feel guilty, and sighed before hiding his Head in her neck.
Winry's cheeks became red again as she felt his warm breathing in her neck.
'Wait winry ! There is no reason to be ashamed to hug your childhood friend right ?!' She suddenly cut her own thoughts. 'Friend...?'
Here was the problem. It's been two years, but she didn't figured out yet what was her place in Edward's heart. What if he don't return the love she feel for him ? What if it wasn't a proposal he wanted to say but something else? What if he just saw her as a friend?
All those intrusives thoughts were making her chest heavy, and her eyes wet. She was fighting to no cry. She felt so silly, she didn't wanted to cry for a damn love thing. And she didn't wanted to tell him about it. She swallowed her saliva, and pushed him a bit to look at his golden eyes.
-It's Okay. Don't worry. All that matter is that you are fine, Right ?
'Fuck! Why can't I tell him the truth ?' She scolded herself.
He didn't seemed to be satisfied with her answer. He put back his face in her neck.
- I dont care about being fine if you aren't. He mumbled to her ear.

She could feel him blushing against her neck, that painted a small smile on her face. She began to play with his hair. She forgot how soft it was. She didn't wanted this moment to stop. She feel good, and safe in his arms.
And It's not like if the ex-alchemist wanted it to stop either. He would surely never admit it but winry's arms where the only place where he was feeling safe. She was smelling good and her body warmth was making it very comfortable and reassuring. He closed his eyes and relaxed.
-Hey winry, he began in an unusual soft tone. Can I sleep with you ?
He was too relaxed to notice how awkward it was to ask her this.
The mechanic became red again, but this time it was worst. Her heart was beating so fast that It felt like it could have exploded.
-E-Ed..?! W-what do you mean...? She asked kind of worried and embarassed.
-Well, I just don't want to sleep alone,that's all... why? He asked, still being oblivious about the situation.
'Wait ! He surely don't mean what I am thinking about! Aaaah why my mind is that dirty ?! W-wait but if he think about it, that mean that he consider me as his girlfriend--'
Her crazy thoughts got interrupted by Edward softly putting his hand on her forehead.
-Winry? Are you alright ? Your face is really hot and red, do you have fever?
He looked really worried.
Winry let go a small laugh. She forgot how dumb he could be.
-That's not funny ! I am worried for you ! He scloded her.
She couldn't help but laughed even more.
-No Ed, I'm alright !
-So ? Do you accept to sleep with me or not ?
'I Am dumb... of course he think about it in an innocent way' she tells to herself, embarassed by what she imaginated few minutes ago.
-Yeah. Of course. She answered, trying to not blush again.
-Nice. He said as he gently push her to go to the stairs. She followed him to her room. She is still lost. Edward never talk about what is on his mind. He always keep everything for himself. How is she suppose to know what is their relationships with a such man.
She sighed and layed on the bed, she waited for him to do the same and covered both of them with the blanket.

She closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep. Edward put her bangs away to have a better view of her sleeping face. 'Seriously, what is wrong with her?'
He sighed and kept playing with her hair. Usually he hated night time. Because of his traumas, sleeping without getting nightmares or panic attacks became nearly impossible.
But with her it was different, he was feeling safe. He hesitated before getting closer to her, but finally did. he could now see more details on her adorable face. She was really cute when she was sleeping. He couldn't help but had a silly grin on his face. He put a hand on her cheek and closed his eyes. For the first time in years he slept at peace.
