I was gonna post this in my drabble collection, but this deserved to be its own story. Im not really sure if this counts as Elricest.
Edward and Alphonse lay sprawled out on their bed, arms outstretched, hands just barely touching. They had just finished supper and were taking a short rest before starting their evening chores. Ed twisted his head toward Alphonse, watching him for a moment as he turned and idea over in his mind.
"Hey Al?" the older Elric questioned, taking his brother's hand in his own, "Ya wanna try something?"
Al was wary of the tone in his brother voice, and answered cautiously, "Like what, Brother?"
"Well, like kissing," Ed's question had caught Al off guard. His surprise must have shown on his face, because almost immediately a slight blush spread across Ed's cheeks, and he lowered his eyes, feeling a bit foolish.
"But, we kiss all the time," Al stated, hoping to clear up any confusion.
Ed's blush grew, and stretched across the bridge of his nose, "Not like that, Al," he explained, "I mean grown-up kissing."
"Grown-up kissing?"
"Yeah," Ed was slowly beginning to regain some confidence as he explained, "Like the kind you see in the ten o'clock TV movies that Mom doesn't like us staying up to watch."
"I don't know, Brother…Aren't you only supposed to kiss girls like that?" Alphonse's brow furrowed with his six-year-old mind's version of deep concern.
"But the only girl we really know is Winry, and I really don't wanna kiss her," Ed stuck out his tongue in a show of mock-disgust, as he sat up on the bed.
"That's mean, Brother" Al half-scold through his giggling, lifting himself up on his elbows.
"So? Do you want to try it?" Ed cocked his head and leaned a little closer.
Al audibly gulped and took a deep a breath, "Okay."
Ed smiled nervously, "Really?"
"Yeah…" his voice trailed off.
"What's wrong?" Ed asked quickly, noting the uncertainty in his little brother's voice.
Alphonse blushed heavily, "It's just…I don't really know what to do."
Ed's blushed returned, brighter than before. He hadn't counted on having to explain how, "If I was watching right, then all we gotta do is, when we kiss, I put my tongue in your mouth and you put your tongue in my mouth."
"And that supposed to be fun?" Al was skeptical.
"I guess. The people in the movies sure looked they were having fun."
Al nodded, "Should we try it now, then?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
Al sat up completely and they slowly leaned closer until they bumped against each other. They stayed still for a moment, keeping their lips awkwardly pressed together. Neither quite knew where to put their hands, or whether they were supposed to close their eyes, or when exactly the kiss was supposed to become 'grown-up'. Slowly, shyly, they let their mouths open just enough to allow the other tongue to slip past their lips.
There was no uncomfortable lingering this time. Almost as soon as they'd begun the kiss, they ended it: pulling away quickly, coughing and sputtering as they raced to the bathroom.
"You taste terrible!" Al said indignantly after he spit out a mouthful of water into the sink.
"Yeah, well so do you!" Ed countered, rinsing out his mouth.
"That's the last time I ever let you talk me into something like that!" Al whined as they both reached for their toothbrushes.
