💕Edward and Winry💕

🏵Trust chapter 23🏵

30 minutes later.

Upon opening my eyes, I heard a clanging sound from the distance; turning to the window, I saw Edward sitting there shirtless, with the left hand placed over his right arm as his head aimed at the window, his voice softened, "Are you awake Winry?"

After removing my head from the pillow, I asked Edward, "Edward, why are you up?" "I couldn't sleep," he replied, as I swiftly moved my hand to his lower arm.
I said, "Tell me what's on your mind Edward, don't keep things from me this time." (Maybe I should too).

"If I could go back in time, it would be the day he left Al, me, and mom. And she waited for him until she became sick and died. If I had been there, I would have punched him. When he showed up out of nowhere, I was pissed off seeing him there. seeing why he did what he did, I felt like I shouldn't have hated him. In fact, I feel like I shouldn't have because now I know." Edward said.

"I understand Ed, he was there for you and Al in the end and died beside your mom's grave. He was not there back then to protect you, but he had the potential to protect you and your family, as he had done in the past, but keep in mind he was there at the very end. Sorry, I'm not much help." I said, He chuckled, "You're not, but you have a point Winry." I replied with a pissed-off tone, "Whatever Ed."

Edward swiveled his head to me, nervously asking, "Want to tell me what happened in the car, why did you move my hand away from your thigh when I touched you?"

My gaze swayed away from Edward as I muttered out, "I was jealous." Edward placed his hand under my chin and moved my head back to him.

I swallowed while I took myself to say anxiously, "When I see you and Clara, you know." It was like he stared into my eyes and asked, "And what about me and Clara?"

  I said poutingly, "When I see you two it seems as if you two are into each other." My heartbeat fast as I finished,

"What do you mean Winry? Are you suggesting that I'm attracted to her?" He quickly realized and laughed it off. "Winry, Jealous? That's got to be hilarious! But no, I can see her through Al but nothing more," he said.

It was silence. He weaved his fingers into mine: "You know I'd never hurt you, Winry, I trust you." He said as he touched my side, I squirmed, "Ouch." He looked at my side and rubbed it with his fingers.

"What happened?" Edward asked. My smile was beaming as I said, "I fell and hurt myself, but nothing major."

"Well, we're going to see Lan at the hospital, so you'll get all checked." Edward said yawning as he lay on his side, I lay down placing my hand on his hip, I whispered to him, "I trust you."

It's morning time.

A sudden burst of light wakes me up. I lift my upper body, rubbing my eyes while pushing myself off the bed, "Edward?" I called out. (Hm, he's not here?) I exit the room to the living room. I see Clara sitting on a couch, her feet tucked beneath her legs, and she stares back at me.

I asked her, "Where is Edward?" She placed her hand underneath her chin and her elbow was placed on the nearest end of the couch. "He went out with Ling." I walked near the couch, turned, and sat next to Clara. "Did he say anything after he left?" I asked. Clara nodded and replied, "He said not to worry about him."

When I saw her holding a smile on her face, I clenched my bottom lip, "Well, can you tell me about what happened last night? You guys were talking." (I must try not to let my emotions overshadow my judgment)

The sound of her stomach growling roused me. "In fact, we should go out to eat at a restaurant," I said as I stood up and stretched.

"Let me get dressed," I said walking to the room and taking off my gown, place it on the bed, open my bag, put on my black skirt, white tank-top, and little cardigan, then I put on my boots.

(I should let my hair down) I hurry to get my purse from the doorknob and leave it out, "Okay, I'm ready!" I shouted out.

Seeing Clara asleep, I walked toward her and placed my hands on her legs as I pulled her off the couch. She grabbed tightly onto the sofa as I yanked, "No thanks, it's a rainy day, I like to sleep!" Clara yelled out pouting, "I don't care, get some fresh air!" I shouted back, pulling her off the couch. Her body fell straight to the floor, and I let go of her leg as I clung to her arm in mine.

"Let's go now, please," I pleaded.

She sat on the floor, "I. Don't. Want. To." She said her belly started growling again.

I have no choice but to grab her leg and drag her to the door. With my other hand, I open the door and swing it open, and then I drag her out of the room.

Leaving her behind, I turned to her and looked at her, crossing my arms while frowning, "Are you coming, because I don't want to drag you to the restaurant."

She places her hands on the floor and raises herself. "There, happy now?" Clara asked.

"Much better!" I exclaimed as I smiled at her and grabbed her hand. We walked out of the hotel and into the restaurant two blocks away.

"Just two of us, sir." I replied, the man nodded, "Please come with me."

We followed the man to our table, "How about you sit down? Would you like anything to drink?" he asked as he handed Clara and me a menu. I looked at what I wanted to drink, "Hm, lemon please." I said, "Ice tea is fine." Clara smiled, "No problem, I will come back for your drinks in just a moment!" He walked away.

As I looked at what I wanted to eat, I asked her, "So what happened last night?"

"We talked about what was coming for us, for example, how homunculus can reproduce twice as much, like a virus called a Colossus, which means that whatever happens to Lezabel could happen to anyone. This may be the work of Akui. He probably creates samples from the homunculus or follows the script of information to make half but not all, he wants to bring back Lust, but we do not know just how many Colossi we are facing."

I sighed in concern as she placed her arms on the table, "I see, this is a bigger deal than I thought."

(Can't catch a break) "Do they know where they can find them?" I asked, the man returned to get our drinks and handed them to us.

Both of us said, "Thank you!" He nodded, "Are you ready to order?" I nodded and replied, "I would like eggs, bacon, and waffles." Clara said, "same for me." Clara sipped her tea and blew her spoon.
"Of course through Akui."
