She felt quite dumb and started her way back to the kitchen, but her hand was trapped on his grip. He was now blushing too, as he gently pulled her towards him.

He closed his eyes and dared to try a quick peck, but went full tomato mode in a second.

“Jeez, Ed, really?” She grabbed him by the collar and kissed him properly, her head was slightly tilted and her lips were parted, she went straight for his lower lip and sucked lightly at it.

Winry was kissing him for the first time ever. Two months of circling each other and avoiding whatever there was between them. Two months. He had never thought he would have the guts to kiss her, to change their status quo. Yet this beautiful, gentle girl, easily wrecked his world with her boldness.

He was dead. He was frozen in the spot for seconds, until he felt her shudder and lost the warmth of her lips. Oh crap. He had done it. He had scared the crap out of her by doubting for just a moment.

He quickly stood up, almost getting whiplash from it. Winry was still on her knees in front of the couch so he had now to look at her from up.

“W-w-winry wait”

“What, Edward?”, she deadpanned him.

“I didn’t mean it”

“You didn’t mean what exactly?”

“You surprised me, t-that was all. I didn’t mean to f-froze… nor scare you”

She looked away and sat up on the couch, but he was relieved to see her blush deepening. He understood her, he knew.

“I’m… This is the first time…, you know?” he said almost sheepishly.

“I do… It’s the first time I kiss anyone, too…” But I’ve loved you for so long, it kind of comes easier for me to simply go at it, she thought.

“Let’s try this, okay? I’m gonna sit next to you again. And you are going to close your eyes.”

She waited until he sat down next to her. She lowered her hands from her lap to the fabric of the couch… Let them stay in between their bodies, on neutral territory.

“All right, …”

She looked right at his golden eyes and felt her own blush mirrored on his face at the moment. “Ed?”

Edward gulped, “Please, close your eyes for a while?”

She obeyed. She tried to calm her breath. Her heartbeat was fast and almost unbearable, then she felt the pressure, the weight, right on top of her own hand. Sirens were ringing in her head, she was about to explode because Edward was holding her hand.

Ed’s face radiated heat from his deep tomato blush, Winry had her beautiful eyes tightly shut, and he could see her body tremble slightly with each breath.

He was so so close he could see her eyelashes, his left hand was on her right, while his right hand was now going to the nape of her neck, to steady her, to ground himself.

Her breath was hot on his face and as soon as his hand touched the skin of her neck, she bumped his nose with hers, eyes still closed.

He had been waiting so long for this. There were always excuses. But now she was safe, he and Al had recovered their bodies, the country was saved from doom, and yet here he was, scared, hardly a centimeter of changing everything, but suddenly, oh, so sure that this was what he wanted. He hoped she wanted too.

Their lips clashed softly, barely a peck, but they stayed there, frozen in the moment.

Soon she got out of the trance, he had kissed her. He wanted this as much as she did. Without breaking the kiss, she opened her eyes and was surprised to meet his golden eyes with her blue ones.

She was lost for a second in a pool of gold, before smiling, closing her eyes again and parting her lips slightly, sighing on his.

A sigh was all it took for him to deepen the kiss.

He was slow at first. Exploring carefully, he nibbled at her bottom lip, and pecked the corner of her mouth.

When he traced her lips with the tip of his tongue, Winry moaned softly. He stopped right on his tracks. He looked at her, shock bright in his eyes.

She blushed and said “Oh, shut up and kiss me again, geez”

Ed was of course a quick learner, and he was pushing all the right buttons to make her repeat that cute noise from before. Winry had him figured out in an instant, too. The kiss was some sort of fight between them, a search for dominance, but always in a good way.

Ed knew he had lost his mind when he realized they were leaning down on the couch. Her head was in the armrest, and her body pinned below him.

There was no way of stopping the sudden attack, little by little, their kiss was becoming something much more deep, hotter and each one of Ed’s grunts made Winry shudder. She felt protected, loved… and a little bit aroused, to be honest.

It felt a bit too sexy for her first kiss, but she guessed it happened like that when you went over years of mutual pining and found yourself giving your first kiss as healthy young adults.

Winry was roaming his back tenderly, and each caress was sending electric waves right to his now foggy mind. Soon kissing her mouth wasn’t enough. He started innocently, small pecks on the corner of her mouth, some others on her blushing cheeks and trailing her jawline, but when he nuzzled her ear shyly and gave a hot, wet, open kiss right below her jaw, Winry gave a deep grunt.

“Ed… You’re gonna kill me here.”

“Sorry, Win”

He sat up, trying to calm down, embarrassed. Breath in, Breath out.

His knees were still on each side of her, trembling a little, his shirt was a bit disheveled and his ponytail no longer existed, he also didn’t seem so sad anymore. She was a bit proud of that.

She sat up too, still, his legs were trapping her.

“Oh, sorry, let me get off you” he said, but she stopped him, a shaky hand on his shoulder.

“Never do that, please”

They both blushed, hard. But this time, they didn’t look away. “Was that a joke?”

“Sort of. Just… Why don’t you lie down, now?”

Ed’s eyes were wide open and he gave a small nervous chuckle that made him blush even more. He looked like steam could come out of his ears. He felt his heart pounding hard, and repeated breath in, breath out. “As you wish”.

He half sat, his back on the armrest. She straddled him and he felt his blush go down. When she kneeled in to kiss him, she was very delicate and gentle, it felt like she was touching him with a feather, carefully or maybe she was just a bit shy. Her hair was down and it fell on his body and gosh did it felt good.

She was maddening soft on his face, he shivered each time she surprised him with a kiss anywhere off his lips. When she got to his throat he whimpered, he could also feel her chest on top of his and oh god, oh god.

Wait, maybe this is too good.

He could feel something else going on.

He knew. He panicked a bit. “W-W-Winry” he said, as she elicited a moan from him, “I need you to- oh god.”

Winry waited for him to recover, confused, but not wanting to do anything he didn’t want. She then took the worst course of action he could think of. She sat down on his waist.

“Holy– ” he grunted.

Her knees were now folded on his sides, she sat on top of him, and she blushed when she felt it.

“Oh”

“Sorry, I mean, I-I-I didn’t mean to” he said sheepishly.

“It’s Okay, Ed, calm down. First, I know this is not on purpose, and we sort of caused it, both of us. Second, I know no one is coming back yet, but…… I would really feel comfier in my room"

“In your room where?” he was flustered and clearly on panic.

“In my bed, of course. W-wait… We won't…… jeez” She facepalmed, trying to hide her embarrassing blush while he snickered.

“Yeah, I know. I don’t think I’m ready for that just yet”
