Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Locket ❯ Locket ( Chapter 1 )

Locket

 

 

Summary: Who knew that something so precious could mean so much?

 

 

Though Edward was away, she always remembered that she had something of his to keep her company for a little while longer. Lifting her hand to the bottom of her neck to feel a smooth heart adorning her neck along a silver chain. He was still with her. `The idiot, “ She thought this out loud with a gradual shake of her sunflower yellow strands. Rolling to face the ceiling above her bed, she smiled to herself as she remembered the awkwardness between them just yesterday.

 

Flashback

 

“Um, I want you to have this,” Edward mumbled, handing her a velvet box. “Something to remember me by,”

 

Winry found herself staring at the piece of jewelry with a heart dangling from it. “Ed…” The expression on her face was one of surprise and a hint of tears about to immerge. Digging in her pocket, she clutched her hand around her wrench before smacking him smack-dab in the cranium. “Don't you ever say that again!”

 

“The hell? What did I say?!” Edward growled under his breath while lying down on the cold garage floor, caressing the fresh bump on his head. Moving to stand up, he stopped once he was sitting up, seeing a single tear run down Winry's soft face. “C'mere,” He mumbled, taking her by the hand, bringing her down into a hug. Similar to the one she gave him when they've first seen each other after an eight-year length. “It doesn't mean good bye,” He whispered gently into her ear, caressing her blonde strands.

 

Winry couldn't help but let out a sob, “Then what is it? A toy?” She sniffled, managing to smile a little. “Something to remind me that I've always had the best friend a girl could have?”

 

Edward smirked, “Something like that,” He quipped, as they pulled apart. Taking the box from her, “Turn around.” He motioned his finger so that she knew he meant all the way. And she obeyed without further conversation. Putting on the locket simply, he smiled sheepishly. “Just think of it as a warning, that I'll be coming back with a broken automail arm.” He smirked again.

 

“You'll regret coming back if I find it in bad condition!” She threatened playfully; whirling around and hugging him as if it were going to be the last time she'd see his face. “Come back alive, okay?” It came out muffled as she buried her head in his shoulder.

 

“Now what kind of question is that?” He sighed softly as he gave her a light squeeze. “Have a little faith, huh?” Then he released her as he noticed the blimp that held his enemy, and his ticket to the other side. “See you around,” He smiled and then vanished before she could even say anything, she couldn't even wish him good luck to his face.

 

“Good luck…” She whispered.

 

End of flashback.

 

At the memory, Winry smiled softly as she turned around in her bed. Closing her eyes, she clutched unto the locket tenderly. “Love you, Ed,” She mumbled under her breath before drifting off into a peaceful slumber. It was the first time she managed to sleep without nightmares.

 

(Hope you guys like this. ;D The idea just popped in my head, so I just had to write it. I think it's obvious that this one-shot is based around the time Ed and Winry see each other again when Ed manages to get to the world of Alchemy! Please review! ;D )
