Transmuting Love ~ (edXwinry FMAB fanfic)

Part 51 - Acceptance

[Winry's view]

I couldn't sleep that night. I lay quiet and still in bed for about 2 hours, then was disturbed by the opening and closing of my bedroom door. It was Ed. I pretended that I was asleep and closed my eyes lightly. My boyfriend got under the covers and put his arms around my hips. He soon fell asleep.

I loved the way he pulled me closer.

I loved the way her caressed my body in a tight and warm embrace.

I loved the way his golden eyes stared at me as I ate my meal some days.

I loved the way he admired me.

I loved the way he tied his hair in the mornings and the way he let it all out at night.

I loved the way he smelled.

I loved the way he spoke.

I love the way he teases me.

I love the way he manipulates me untryingly.

I love the way he makes me mad.

I love the way he treasures life.

I love the way he makes me smile.

I love the way he loves me.

I love him. I love everything about him.

But I know that he has to go. I have accepted that, ever since we got back from Central. I have accepted that he will leave me for a while. But I know he will always return.
