Title: Pushing Your Luck
Genre: Fluff
Rating: K+-T for implied things?
Pairing: Ed/Al/Hei, and a really odd one if you squint
Summary: Ed needs to go back to Amestris, but will the gate let him?
Author's Note: =P Just a completely goofy story that came about after a conversation with my roommate. The italicized, capital words are the Gate. Yeah, maybe that will make sense. Just pretend that Alphonse is still on his side of the Gate.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything having to do with Fullmetal. I only wish I did.

He clapped his hands together and carefully placed them on his own chest. The room was suddenly filled up with a bright blue light; but almost as quick as it came, it was gone.
Along with everything else. There was nothing... But the Gate.
He stood in front of the looming Gate and cleared his throat.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" spoke the Gate.
"I would like to go back to Amestris, more specifically, Resembool," said Edward Elric, speaking loud and clear.
"WHAT WILL YOU GIVE UP TO ME IN RETURN?"
"Um…. How about I write you an IOU…."
"COME ON EDWARD, YOU HAVE SAID THAT THE PAST THREE TIMES."
"But I have to get back, I've got dinner plans with Al and Winry, and you know how they get when I'm late," Ed said, giving his best smile.
"I DO NOT WORK THAT WAY. YOU MUST GIVE UP SOMETHNG IF YOU WANT ME TO BRING YOU BACK" the Gate insisted.
"Hey! You know I'm cool. Remember? Like ten years ago? My arm and leg? Yeah, you remember. You know I'll pay you back eventually."
"PSSHH," the Gate scoffed. "I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH. GERMANY TO RESEMBOOL TO GERMANY AGAIN TO CENTRAL. I AM GETTING TIRED EDWARD ELRIC."
"But—"
"NO BUTS! IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE DATING BOTH ALPHONSE ELRIC AND ALFONS HEIDRICH THEN I NEED SOME PAYMENT!" roared the Gate.
"…I cooked you dinner last night." Ed said dejectedly, dropping his head and shuffling his feet.
"AND MADE ME DO THE DISHES!" countered the Gate.
"But I also made dessert! And I KNOW you enjoyed dessert…" Ed replied, wiggling his eyebrow.
"…..YOU KNOW WHAT EDWARD ELRIC, I AM NOT GOING TO FIGHT WITH YOU. JUST GO," said the Gate, giving in and opening slightly.
Ed stood there for a moment, but then shrugged his shoulders and walked to the doors. As he was walking through, he paused.
"Hey… you know you're the best right?" And with that he passed through the Gate to Resembool for a nice dinner date.
There was silence at the Gate for a long time.
"DAMN YOU EDWARD ELRIC. DAMN YOU TO ME."
