Thread: Never Be The Same Again (Yoshie x Source Code)

Alex joined Winry in her personal little purple room. The sight of it had made Alex smile, he remembered when Temptation was being built and how Winry always wanted to have a room like this. And here they were now, Alex watched Winry as she went over to the bar area, quick to get two more drinks started for themselves. Yet her tears remained, yet her heart break showed as she slipped the ice cubes into their glasses. How hard it must be for Winry, not just to be the confident woman that she needed to be, but to allow herself to feel this way in front of someone else. Alex felt a sort of pity or sadness in himself to see Winry like this, how much more painful it was for her to actually trust someone with her wounds. And then she said it, her eyes looking straight into his. It should have been me.... Alex was shocked to hear what she said, shaking his head quickly as he disagreed. No not at all Winny. Don't talk like that. Alex would say but the woman would continue. And damn it all she needed to continue. To shout out these things that plagued her, that tormented her... To have someone actually listen to what she had to say and not bottle it up. James watched as Winry practically ripped her ring off form her hand, as if casting it away. She went on, talking about the night she saved him and how selfish she was. At this point Alex would start to get up from the couch but Winry joined him there, and he was quick to hold her in his arms. To comfort her in this moment that she needed it the most. Don't talk like that. I never thanked you for saving me... Alex said but Winry was on a roll, Winry had so much to say after these four years... So much to let out after her life time of suffering. Alex found it better to stay quiet in the moment, to let Winry pretty get it all out of her system as he held her. His hand softly rubbing the her back as the woman continued. Winry continued, touching on her husband... The world.. And then brought it all back to Alex. What was he too say to that? She tried to make Clarence more like himself. Flattering of course and Alex was no fool, there had been drunken nights where Winry and he kissed, flirted here and there like high school sweet hearts. But they never crossed that line, never went further then the simple caress or touch of the lips in their drunken fun. And yet there was that attraction, that compatibility. In different worlds or different times if the two had met first they definitely would have been together. Alex didn't regret what he had with his wife... But he definitely wouldn't of turned down Winry in any way. The man was going to say something but Winry would change the subject in her own little way. Making Alex laugh a little as they sat together. She was complimenting him, or at least trying too compliment him as they sat there. It's good to see you too. Though I am sure you probably would of liked me to show up on a different night. Alex stated, still reassuringly rubbing her back as they sat on her couch. What could he say though? What was right? She obviously accepted him back, if only in this moment when she truly needed him.. She still accepted him with open arms. Alex couldn't help but feel for Winry, it taking no more then a few seconds before he leaned down to kiss her. Much more then any cute kisses or fun pecks on the cheeks they might of shared in their past. A kiss filled with passion and well compassion as he held her closer to his body. It could very well been thirty seconds or a minute before their kiss ended, Alex simply resting his forehead against her own as they sat together on that couch. Thank you for being so imperfect Winny. Thank you for your selfishness... Your pride... Your desires. If you hear it only once in your life then you will hear it now. I wouldn't be here if you weren't selfish... If you weren't human. If anything this life should be yours to do with as you please, I threw it away years ago. You are perfect in your imperfection Winny. To take care of a fool like me... I would do anything to alleviate your pain... If only for one night. Alex said before kissing her again, tenderly... Lovingly.
