The Test Of Time

A/N-I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist no matter how much I want to.

Ch. 8


“Son of a bitch” Edward moaned upon awakening. Looking around he groaned as the events from the previous day replayed in his head “Damnit…it wasn’t just a dream.”
He glanced at the phone on the desk next to his bed and wondered if he should call April. He already knew he was going to forgive her, she did seem to be genuinely sorry for what she did, but he didn’t want to forgive her just yet.


Deciding that he needed some more time to relax, he took off his shirt and started toward the shower. ‘I don’t want to forgive her so soon, but I can’t help but want to be with her.’ he thought, stripping and entering the shower.

*****************************************************************

April put her head in her hands and didn’t even bother wiping away the tear that fell. “I’m such an idiot. What the hell was I thinking? I can’t believe I bought into that lecher’s charms. Edward was right, Roy Mustang is a bastard.” Her expression softened and she smiled a sad little smile “I guess some good did come out of this: Edward said he loved me. But why had it taken something like this to get him to admit his feelings?” Oh well, that doesn’t matter. She needed to go to him and tell him that she loved him too. Surely he’d forgive her if he knew his feelings were returned. Or so she hoped. With that hope, she picked up her purse and left.


*********************************************************************

Drying off, and wrapping a towel around his waist, Edward plopped down on his couch. ‘So much for that relaxing shower. I still feel like crap.’ he thought. As the events replayed in his mind a sudden wave of nausea hit him “Damnit. I can’t believe that I told April I loved her. I didn’t want it to be like that. I wanted it to be over dinner at a nice restaurant. I was going to take her hand and look into her eyes and profess my love. Then we were supposed to come back here and…”


Ed was startled out of his thoughts when he heard a light knocking on his door. He smiled, knowing instantly who the knock belonged to. Only April knocked that lightly. His smile dropped into a frown, remembering her actions. ‘What the hell does she want?’ he thought, getting up and walking to the door.

He froze when he reached the door ‘Shit. What if she’s coming to break up with me because she feels guilty?’ he mentally smacked himself ‘Damnit, Elric, you’re supposed to be pissed.’ Taking a breath he opened the door. He glared at her, even though all he wanted to do was kiss her. “What do you want April?” he asked in an irritated tone.

April took a deep breath “Edward…can I come in?” Ed narrowed his eyes “Why? What do you want? Did you come to tell me that you went back to Mustang for another lesson?” April let out a frustrated sigh “No Edward, that’s not what I came to tell you….Please Edward, let me in.” The blonde consented, stepping aside to let her in. It wasn’t until he stepped aside, that she noticed he was only wearing a towel. She hid the oncoming blush that she felt, walking past him and sitting down on his couch.


Sitting down next to her, he had to remind himself not to put his arm around her. “Well? What did you want to say?” he questioned. April’s blush deepened, noticing the towel slide down a little farther, revealing his well defined hips. “Edward,” she started “I had to come here because…because…I had to tell you that I love you too.” Ed’s eyes widened “Y-you do?” he stammered, but quickly recovered “I mean…Is that all?” he asked, coldly. “That and I’m truly sorry. Please forgive me Edward. I’ll do anything to make it up to you. If you want I won’t take the exams.” she pleaded, lifting her hand to stroke the side of his face.


The instant she touched him he knew that his resolve was shot to hell. He loved her too much to stay angry at her. He grabbed the hand stroking his face and pulling her on top of him, he kissed her. April was shocked, to say the least, but she returned the kiss. Slowly Edward let his hands roam down her sides and then back up to cup her breasts.


April suppressed a laugh when his hands started to undo the buttons on her shirt. “Do you want something Edward?” she teased. Ed kissed her neck in response “Yes. I want you.” Then he stopped, remembering last time “But what I said last time still stands. I’ll stop if you want me to.” April shook her head “I don’t want you to stop this time Edward….but I would appreciate it if my first time was in a bedroom, not a couch.”


Ed beamed, picked her up bridal style, and carried her to his room. "Now, where were we?" he asked licking her neck. "I believe I just told you that I wanted to have sex with you" she responded and started to toy with the hem of his towel.


He moaned but held her to him when she started to slide down to her knees. He knew what she was thinking, she was thinking she needed to make it up to him because of last time. She looked at him questioningly and he pulled her into a kiss "You don’t need to make it up to me. I just want you, all of you. Right here and right now." "But…." she was cut off by the sudden entrance of his tongue into her mouth.


"There will be no one sidedness in this bedroom." he explained, removing her pants and thong letting them fall to the ground. She stepped out of them and then pulled down his towel. He stepped out of it and laid her down on the bed. He removed the shirt she had on rather quickly. It only took a few moments for him to straddle her and start nibbling on the side of her lower neck.


"Edward . . .” she moaned, "you're going to leave a mark . . .” "I know" he smirked, showing no signs of stopping. “People will be able to notice," she moaned "I know. It looks like you'll just have to keep your hair down." he grinned.


She sighed, "You love my hair down don't you?" He sat back up, admiring his handi work on her neck "I love every bit of you, but you are so damn beautiful when your hair is down, and it sways when you walk and when you laugh your hair moves, it's beautiful."


April blushed "I love you so much." her hands trailed up his stomach to his face, which she cupped and brought him down into a kiss. "Oh Edward . . . " she moaned as he skillfully started massaging her most sensitive area, never breaking the kiss. He’d have to thank the people who invented those anatomy books, they were quite informative.


He moved his hand down to her entrance and slipped one finger in. She moaned in frustration "More . . .” she urged, feeling lust take over. He happily obliged by adding another finger. He set a very slow pace, and she arched upwards "Please Edward . . .” she begged, unable to take it any longer "Please. I need you . . . inside . . . please . . .”


He suppressed a chuckle, she was making his ego, as well as another part of him rather large by the minute. He repositioned himself and entered her slowly taking care to be gentle, as this was her first time. April cried out in pain and pleasure. Ed patiently waited for her to adjust and give him the sign to continue. She nodded, as a sign “I’m ready.”


He started out, once again, at a slow pace to keep it as painless for her as possible. After all, he didn’t want to hurt her. He couldn’t help but take in all her beautiful facial expressions, and his heart beat faster every time she moaned his name. “You’re so beautiful” he whispered in her ear. April blushed “I love you Edward.”

Once again, her words were his undoing. He sped up his pace, with the need to complete both himself and her. It drove him crazy how they fit so perfectly together, literally and figuratively.


“Edward…I’m so close…” she moaned. Ed nodded in agreement “I am too...” It was only seconds until their moans and cries of pleasure, and each others name got louder as they reached simultaneous climax.


Ed reserved enough strength to collapse next to her and not on top of her. He pulled her close and kissed her forehead. “That was amazing Edward.” April breathed. Ed couldn’t stop the smirk from forming on his face on his face “I know.” he teased.

April rolled her eyes “Don’t start getting cocky.” Ed’s smirk grew “After something like that, I’d think that you would want me to be cocky.” April couldn’t help but laugh at the pun. “So, I guess this means you forgive me?” she asked, tracing the outline of his well toned stomach. The blonde kissed her deeply in response “Yes.”


‘This.’ he thought, running his fingers through her hair ‘This is what true love is. The feeling of completeness and contentedness in her presence.’ And that was the moment that Edward Elric knew that he didn’t ever want to be with another woman. At 20 years old, he had found the one he was going to spend the rest of his life with. ‘I always knew I was better than that bastard colonel’ he thought before tightening his hold on April and falling asleep.
