A fluffy LingFan fic. Well, fluffy and funny. will most likely make you laugh.

Healthy dose of OoCness, to make them fit the plot.

Oh, and Al is human at this point, just FYI.

Enjoy!

Ling's POV

I'm not really sure how I wound up in this place, one moment I'm exploring an abandoned warehouse in Dublith with a one armed Ed, the next I've fallen through the floor and am sitting in a closet a floor below. "Ed! Get Alphonse!" But when I look up through the jagged hole, I can't see him at all. I sit there in the well-like space for several minutes before hearing footsteps.

"Young Lord!"

There's only one person here who calls me that, "RanFan! Is Alphonse there?"

She appears in the hole, left arm still missing. "No. Should I fetch him?"

I nod, but before she can run off, Ed puts his hand on her back and shoves her into the hole. I leap to my feet and catch her as the short blonde begins to walk away. "I'll be back later."

I look at my bodyguard, setting her back on her feet. "What did we do?"

She shrugs, and immediately winces due to the multitude of gouges she obtained while fighting Pride on the 'Promised Day'. She sits down, but the closet is just barely large enough for the two of us to sit side by side, so she curls her legs up tightly to give me space. "Young Lord, you are unharmed?"

I look at her incredulously, "Yes, RanFan. Aside from an impressive bruise, I'm fine."

She scowls, "When we get out of here, Ed will be running for his life."

I laugh, "Yes, and I'm sure his stubby little legs won't be able to move fast enough for his liking." She smiles, and a question comes to mind. "What did Ed say to get you to come?"

She looks down, "Ed said that you were in trouble, and the others were all in the backyard." We sit there in silence for a long while, and when the sun is on the verge of setting, she speaks up. "Has he forgotten about us?"

Her whisper is loud in the near complete silence, but I quickly come up with a reassuring reply. "I'm not sure, but he'll be back tomorrow."

Not long after he says this, it begins to rain. Not a light drizzle, or a spring shower, but a cold, hard rain, buckets of it. Without any visible trigger, RanFan chuckles, and I give her a questioning look. "I'm almost glad Pride destroyed my auto mail. Even though Winry didn't make it, she'd kill me for soaking it to this degree."

I smile back at her, "Probably." The rain pelts us for a long while, and on an impulse I scoot over to sit next to her. I put one arm around her shoulders and whisper "I love you."

She smiles at me, "Same here."

I blink as a few raindrops run into my eyes, "I thought you were half asleep."

"I was, but not anymore."

I can't think of anything to say, and find myself babbling. "There have been so many times I wanted to tell you that you're beautiful, but didn't. The first time I took control over Greed, I wanted to find you and Fuu. But you were gone, and I only found Ed. When Greed started to take over, the last thing I had to ask was whether or not you had gotten my note."

As I start into another nervous sentence, she grabs my collar and pulls me into a kiss, "Stop talking." I nod, dumbstruck by her sudden assault, and kiss her again.

Ed's POV

Ling and I are 'exploring' the old warehouse that Al and I used to play tag in, and I steer him towards a spot I'd weakened with alchemy. Like the sucker he is, he falls right through. Ignoring him yelling at me to bring Al, I run back to teacher's house and grab RanFan's arm. "Ling's in trouble!" She's so worried about him that she doesn't even ask what kind of trouble before running after me.

We near the hole and she calls out, "Young Lord!"

Ling's voice echoes out from his cell, "RanFan! Is Alphonse there?"

She leans over the hole. "No. Should I fetch him?"

Ling nods, but to keep RanFan from escaping and ruining the plan, I put my remaining hand on her back and push her into the shaft, where Ling leaps to his feet and catches her before she lands headfirst on the stone floor. As I walk away I call over my shoulder, "I'll be back later." If they haven't kissed by the time I get back, I'll just leave them there till they do.

We eat dinner in the backyard, and I bring two plates up to the roof so nobody will know that the foreigners are missing. Al brings them up at dinner again, but subtly. "You know who I was talking about a few days ago?" We all nod, "Well, they're obviously in love."

I roll my eyes. "Yeah, you told us already." He drops the topic and resumes eating his cheeseburger, until the clouds open up in a sudden downpour. There's a general commotion as everyone runs inside with their plates, and I excuse myself to retrieve Ling and RanFan's. The uneaten food is heaped into a small pile for the squirrels that live in the tree, and I bring the two empty plates inside. "Empty plates, but they're not up there."

Winry looks up from putting the final touches on my arm, "I hope they're out of the rain."

With a pang of guilt, I realize that they aren't. "Yeah me too."

A few turns of the screwdriver later, she holds up the arm. "Done! Now to put it on... Ed, into the kitchen." I follow after her, not wholly looking forward to getting my arm reattached. "Ed, sit there would you?" I nod and sit on the chair she indicates, closing my eyes and listening to her pull the tool kit from her bag. She disconnects the nerves of my arm and slots the limb into place, doing a few final touches before connecting the nerves.

I wince, rubbing my shoulder. "That never gets easier."

She nods, "But you continue to damage your auto mail, so you'll just have to suck it up."

I stick my tongue out at her back, and get a wrench to the head. "You weren't even looking!!!"

She counters over her shoulder while putting her beloved tools back in their case. "I know you Ed, I can tell."

I stand up and test my auto mail briefly, "This feels, different, from the last one."

She looks at me, face split by a smile. "It's not Northern style." I nod, now that Pride is gone, and I don't exactly plan on visiting Briggs anytime soon, Northern type is a little bit redundant.

Hehehe... was inspired by spaz time with my crazy little sister, DotTheAmazing She is a natural born comedian.
