Alphonse stood there on the platform in Central's train station. His hand was locked with Fletcher's. It was finally over, the war in the south was over. Edward and Russel where coming home. It had been another year now. Three years Ed had been away, and one year for Russel. It had been a year of anxiety for both Fletcher and Al though. For awhile it seemed like the war was only getting more violent and that many state alchemists had died. This was true, but Ed and Russel had survived. For that Fletcher and Alphonse where thankful.

"What if they're mad?" Alphonse asked Fletcher and tightened his grip. He was afraid of loosing Ed because of his sexuality. He'd almost lost him during the war, he couldn't loose him now.

Fletcher pecked Al's cheek and squeezed his hand. "It's ok Al. They won't be, I promise! Edward loves you, and Russel loves me. They always will, no matter what, Ed even got your body back! If that's not love I don't know what is." Fletcher was more optimistic than Al was, but he had to be, for Al's sake.

"You're right, I'm probably worried over nothing." Alphonse laughed a little awkwardly. He stood really close to Fletcher trying to keep his nerves calmed. He placed his head on Fletcher's shoulder. Now they just had to wait for the train.

Alphonse saw it first. "There it is! The train is here!" He pulled Fletcher closer to the area the train parked. They both broke off and hugged their respective brother. After a tearful reunion Al and Fletcher intentionally lead them to the same restaurant.

After meeting up again they insisted on having the same table for all four of them. They sat there smiling while their brothers tried to figure out where the loves of their little brothers lives where.

"I can't believe they haven't figured it out yet." Alphonse chuckled. He enjoyed watching the bewildered look on Edward's face. He obviously didn't get it.

Fletcher laughed. "Russel you have such a stupid look on your face." This was to entertaining for them. Just why where they looking so shocked? Was it not obvious? Guess not.

A look of realization came across Ed's face. "Oh I get it. Well good for you two." He looked over to Russel, who still seemed dumbfounded.

"Oh umm…congratulations on that! Good luck you guys." After that brief moment of awkwardness they all enjoyed a pleasant dinner.
