--And now, a long jump into the future!

Al stared after his brother lovingly as he sprinted out the door and off to Winry's. It was her birthday tomorrow--her 20th to be exact--and what a special occasion it was. It was Edward's turn to stall as Al wrapped the gifts this year. Al was now 17, soon to be 18, and Ed was a mighty 21. It had been a whole of 5 years since Al had gotten his body back and the two had moved to Risembool. Al was proud of how far they had come, and he was sure his brother was as well, but Al had always wished Ed could get the limbs that he'd so willingly sacraficed on his behalf back, instead of being stuck with rusting automail--though Winry had always been there to fix that.

Plopping down in his seat, Al allowed his focus to shift into wrapping Winry's new wrench and screw driver perfectly within a large, pink box. Al smiled. He had always loved celebrations--it was a time for joyous giving, without creating the feeling that he wanted something in return. But when he opened the box to check for the gift... He did not find what he'd expected, instead--

A note. It read:

"My Dear Al,

Five years ago you discovered my feelings in a letter. To celebrate that wonderful day I would like you to meet me on Winry's balcony at 7 o'clock this evening. You may not ask me why, seeing as I have already left for Winry's by the time you should be reading this, and you are not to leave the house until then--please. I want this to be a surprise for you. Wear whatever you feel like. Your beloved,

Ed."

Al smiled excitedly and then thought about this for a moment... whatever could Ed be planning? Although as Al began folding the note back into its place, he noticed more writing on the back of it.

"By the way... Getting a new wrench for Winry was a terribly bad idea, please--oh god, please--do not wrap it. Instead, I ask you to check the top drawer of my dresser for a more suitable gift."

Al lifted an eye brow at this, but soon left the note both unfolded and forgotten on the table before dashing up the stairs to check their bedroom for the mysterious object. Upon reaching his destination, Al carefully opened the drawer to reveal--

A tux? What on earth--another note.

"Dear Al,

This is for you, I thought you might like to wear it to Winry's party tomorrow--the gift is underneath..."

And as he lifted the tux, the satin fabric delicately rubbing against him, he gasped, his big honey brown eyes shooting open in absolute shock... Was he dreaming?

--

"Come on, Ed!" Winry shouted over the poor boy's golden head, yanking down on some balack material. "Shezka, pull harder!"

"Can't you just unbutton it!?" shouted an enraged Elric as Shezka accidentaly grabbed his hair by mistake. She stuttered an apology before resuming her help with the outfit.

"No! I spent forever ironing it and, well... the buttons I accidentaly sewed together," she confessed.

"What?! You mean I won't be able to get this thing off?!"

"Al can help you with that--for now, let's just focus on getting this thing on!" Winry shouted, giving her greatest effort in one final shove.

"Got it!" Shezka cried joyously.

Winry took a good look at it, still trying to catch her breath. "I like it," she breathed.

Ed just stared at himself in the mirror with a stunned look on his face, raising an eyebrow as to how formal he looked in the suit. "Yeah... but will he like it?"

--

Rushing to the door as the bell rang, Winry nearly sqealed as she was greated by a satin, black tux-suited boy. "Alphonse! Is that you?"

Al nodded shyly. "Winry... Is my brother here?"

"Mhm! Just upstairs, out on the balcony!" she informed cheerfully, opening the door invitingly.

Al stepped inside. "May I?" he asked politely, indicating to the stairs with both hands.

She nodded, noticing the letter he held in his hands. She gave a smile.

Al smiled in return. "Thanks." And with that, he began the short climb up the stairs--short, yet it seemed to last a lifetime. "Ed..." he said breathlessly as he entered upon the balcony, noticing Ed leaning against the frame. His hair was let loose and hung beautifully down his shoulders, reaching just past hi shoulder blades. His face clean of all the usual grime and his outfit--oh god! He looked so sexy... Al almost found himself feeling a tad light-headed and so he leaned against the door frame skillfully, secretly using it for support.

"Al!" Ed exclaimed, snapping from his reverie. "Al... I..." he started with a smile, his gaze trailing up Al's lean body now covered in a smooth, kohl-textured tux.

"Brother... would you please tell me... what this is?" Al asked, his voice tinged with a hint of hopefulness. He lifted up the object in his hands and stepped forward, now only three feet from his sexy brother.

"That, Al... is an invitation." Ed decided he'd play dumb for the moment, liking the look his brother wore.

"I know that much brother," Al sighed. "It's an invite to a wedding."

Ed smiled, reaching into his pocket unnoticed. "Yes..." he said, now approaching the younger boy. "To our wedding," he said, placing his hands on the smaller boy's arms. He paused to allow a gasp from Al.

"Y-You mean it, brother?" Al asked with a hopeful smile. He'd always dreamed of this moment...

"Well, there is one condition," Ed teased.

"A c-condition?" Al asked nervously.

Ed nodded. "You have to accept my proposal first."

"B-Brother?" Al asked unsurely as the man--and it was wierd to call him that--got down on one knee. It was just like in the movies! Only better, Al thought to himself.

"Alphonse Elric," Edward began, blowing Al's mind by how completely romantic he sounded just then. And again--"Will you marry me?"

Al gasped and kneeled down beside him. "Yes!" he cried before pressing his lips against Edward's.

Ed laughed into the kiss and wrapped a hand around his little brother's neck. "Hey," he said, breaking the kiss. "I love you."

Al giggled. "I love you, too, Brother." His eyes glistened with pre-mature tears.

Ed winked at him and, with the opposite hand, pulled out a tiny black box. "Open it," Ed encouraged kindly.

Al gasped, anticipating what was inside. "You...?" Ed nodded. Al giggled again and opened the box. Inside he found a gold ring with both their names and two tiny hearts inscripted with tiny little diamonds. Al gasped. "Oh, Brother, it's beautiful!"

"I'm glad you like it," Ed chuckled. "May I...?" he asked softly, wishing to place the ring on Al's finger.

Al nodded fervently. And, watching the way it slid on so perfectly, he couldn't help but admire it. He kissed Ed passionately right then, wrapping both arms around his neck. "I love you," he whispered against Ed's lips.

Ed smiled. And just as he did, a noise was heard--a big explosion, in the sky! Ed and Al both parted and looked up into the black night sky.

"Fireworks!" Al exclaimed. Amazed by the beautiful colors he turned to Edward. "Did you do all this... for me?"

Ed smiled. "There's a lot more, too."

Al lifted an eyebrow. "Oh, is there now? Just how much have you been hiding from me all this time?" Al inquired curiously.

"Just one other thing..." Ed chuckled nervously.

Al crossed his arms, waiting for Ed to finish.

"Al... I'm pregnant."
