Dedicated to Spoot Poot, asking for more, giving me two reviews and giving constructive critasisim.

People: Alphonse E. May C. Ling Y. Lan Fan
Pairings: AlxMay, (hinted)LingxLanFan
Time: after series (brotherhood), in Xing.

Al and May were practicing alkahestry.

Or rather, Al was failing at alkahestry while May tried to show him how to 'feel the dragons pulse'. Al was finding it very hard to learn something that Xingese royalty had been learning since they were born for the past 500 some odd years. After another half hour of Al failing, May decided it was time for a break for dinner, as emporor Ling was expecting them in five minutes. They had to rush since it was almost a ten minute walk.

"Come on, Alphonse!" Shouted May, grabbing his hand and running. They got some weird looks from the people they passed, but they were running to hard, trying to out run eachother, to notice. They got to the palace in time, but only barely.

When they sat in the dining room, Ling raised an eyebrow at there flushed faces and heavy breathing. He glanced down at they're hands, which Al noticed were still entertwined, and smiled.

"So, are you two together?" Ling asked.

Both Al and May blushed deeply, denying loudly but only half heartedly. Ling gave them a knowing look, putting his arm around his wife-to-be, Lan-Fan, were it stayed for the rest of the meal.

All of them noticed that Al and May were holding hands the rest of the meal, as well.

Niether of them minded.
