Chapter 1

The day was ending soon and the aquarium was about to close. The lights in the halls slowly went out, leaving only the tanks lights on.

Roy and Ed stopped walking at the shark tank. Ed put his head to the glass, ignoring the line a foot away and the sign saying "Do Not Cross The Yellow Line."

"You're observant today," Roy said, shaking his head slowly as his eyes watched the sharks swim by.

"Can I have a shark? They're so cute."

"You're beginning to sound like your brother," Roy said, laughing, "You won't even let Alphonse have a cat…do you really expect to keep a shark in your dorm?"

"I guess not," he said with an embarrassed laugh, "though I'd like to own one someday.

A large Requiem Shark swam slowly past, a small school of Remoras following close behind. "They are very beautiful," Roy said wistfully, placing his hand on the glass (and also ignoring the sign).

Ed sighed and leaned his back against Roy's chest. Roy wrapped his arms around Ed.

"I love you…" Roy whispered in Ed's ear.

Ed lifted his head and replied, "I love you, too," before Roy captured his lips in a soft kiss.

"Roy?" Ed said questioningly, "how come you brought me here, I thought you hated the Aquarium?"

Roy smiled and shook his head, "Have you forgotten already, Edward?" He said, "It was shortly after Alphonse's restoration…he had wanted to come here but their were no train running through this town at the time, so I volunteered to drive you…"

A sudden smiled appeared on Ed's face as the memory resurfaced in his mind, "This is where we had out first kiss!"

"Yes," he smiled, removing his arms from around Ed's waist, "that was exactly one year ago." Roy reached into his pocket and palmed a small object, keeping it hidden from Ed. That trademarked smirk appeared on his lips.

For a few moments neither of the spoke. They were perfectly content just listening to the bubbling noises of the tank's massive filtration system. The silence was finally broken when a security guard approached them.

"We're closin' now, you should get goin'." He said and left them to patrol the rest of the building.

Roy sighed, "I guess I have less time to do this than I thought…"

"Do what?"

Roy didn't answer; instead, he walked back over to the tank and turned towards Edward. He brushed a few strands of Ed's unruly blonde hair away from his eyes.

"Do what, Roy?" Ed asked again, nervousness lacing his voice.

Roy smiled reassuringly and took his hand. Cool, ambient light shone through the water and cast gentle shadows over them; Roy couldn't help but think Ed looked like and angel.

Roy smiled and got down on one knee.

"Edward?" Roy said, in barely a whisper.

"Yes?"

The moment was perfect; everything they had been waiting for. He took out a small blue box and opened it to reveal a plain gold ring.

"Ed, we've been through a lot, and you've matured so much in that time. I can't imagine anyone else I'd want to spend my life with…What I'm trying to say is…Ed, will you marry me?
