"Brother, we've run out of bread!"

Edward Elric laughed and walked over, pulling a full loaf of bread out from the other cupboard. He set it down and walked over to Alphonse, wrapping an arm around his thin shoulders.

"You know, you shouldn't call me brother anymore," he told him, "I am your husband now after all."

Alphonse blushed. The fact still flustered him.

"I know, its just a habit," he sheepishly replied, "I'm sorry, bro-"

He stopped himself and Ed laughed again, kissing his cheek.

"Your so cute...wifey," the older brother teased, pulling the tie out of Al's hair and watching it cascade down his shoulders.

It had grown fast in the last year, and was quite lovely.

"Don't call me wifey!" Al cried, clearly embarrased, "Thats not fair, brother!"

Ed smirked and sat, pulling his lover onto his lap.

"I'm only playing, Alphonse," he said, running his lips down Al's neck.

Al shivered and cuddled into Ed. He stroked his hair and kissed the blonde lovingly. Ed returned the kiss.

Later that night, the two lay quietly in the bed they shared.

"Brother?"

"Mm?"

Al smiled. He loved hearing his brother's sleepy answers.

"I love you."

Ed turned to face him and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"I love you too, Al," he said, putting his forehead against Alphonse's, "Very much, in fact."

Al felt his face get warm and he pressed himself against Ed, his ear on his chest. He listened to the steady rythm of Ed's heartbeat. It was wonderful. The vibrations on his ear were also very nice. Ed ran his hand down Al's back, carressing him protectively.

"It's beating for you, ya know," he grinned slightly.

"Thats cheesy, brother," Al laughed, "But thank you."

The two fell asleep in the other's embrace. Anyone could tell that they were madly in love.

But no one would ever be allowed to find out.

The next morning, Edward woke up first and began dressing for work. Al remained asleep. Ed came over to him and smiled. He kissed him, sitting on the edge of their large bed.

"Morning, sleepyhead," he purred, "I have to go to work."

Al's eyelashes fluttered and he slowly opened his eyes. He smiled at Ed and crawled into his lap, letting his lover shower him with kisses.

"Be safe," Al said and shared a deep kiss with Ed.

"I will," the blonde replied as they pulled away from eachother.

Ed left and Al got up and got ready to take a shower. He stripped and went into the bathroom. He stepped as he turned on the hot water. He let out a long sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair, the sensation filling him with relief. It was nice to wash his anxiety away. Already, he missed Ed, and wished that the blonde were in the shower with him. Thinking of what Ed would do if his fantasies came true made Alphonse blush.

"Oh, brother," he moaned, letting his hand hungrily slide down to his throbbing shaft anxiously.

He hated pleasuring himself without Ed there, but knew he'd lose it if he didn't take care of it now.

He backed against the wall, spreading his legs and rubbing his head while jacking off with the other hand. His head filled with clouded images of he and his brother making love. The shower's water seemed to get even hotter. He gritted his teeth, pumping faster. Finally, a rush of pleasure made his entire lower body shiver in delight. He didn't want to stop, but forced himself to. Now he'd be better for Edward later.

Al hummed cheerily as he chopped up carrots and tossed them into a crockpot.

"Brother's favorite," he giggled, "Stew! He'll be so happy!"

He heard the door open and wiped his hands on his apron. Al hurried towards the entryway.

There stood his handsome Edward, in a suit and smiling, arms outstretched to take in his lover.

Al ran up, grabbing his shoulders and planting a kiss on Ed's cheek. Ed smiled and wrapped his arms around Al's waist.

"I missed you!" Al cried, "I wish you didn't have to work all day!"

"I know, kitten," Ed littered kisses all over Al, "I miss you too. I hate to leave you home all day. Did you do anything?"

Al blushed.

"No, nothing."

Ed sniffed the air, and looked excited suddenly.

"I-is that..?"

Al nodded, grinning.

Ed sprinted to the kitchen and started sampling the stew right away. Al came in and giggled, watching with loving hazel eyes. Ed came over and lifed Al up into the air, kissing him.

"I love you," he grinned, pressing his face against his younger brother's thin stomach.
