Unnoticed: Hiya! How are you guys? This is the second to the last chapter… I think. Augh! Who knows? The future is hazy and totally unpredictable. But it's good thing to think ahead!

Thanks a lot for the reviews! You guys made me smile! Thanks a lot to those who read as well!

I really have nothing to say except I like walking! Especially if the air is clean, there are trees everywhere and no trash! Damn you, you careless and uncaring people! You should love the environment! Whew! Glad I got that out of my system…

Anyways, I present to you… another chapter of 'Cheese Fondue'!

I don't own FMA. I don't even own an Edward plushie! T_T

Italics mean the authoress is talking.

Warning: Slight OOCness. Lots of swear words that is mostly from Ed. 4 yaoi pairings: Elricest, RoyEd, HavocEd, Edvy (BTW the yaoi is slight and most are onesided). An annoying authoress placing herself in the story.

You have been warned… The Edvy starts here. Envy will slightly get hurt. And a crappy battle scene is written.

Everyone stared at the homunculus in shock. Envy just sat there and smirked.

"Envy! What the hell are you doing here?" Ed shouted loudly as he transmuted some parts of his automail to his traditional blade-weapon thingy.

"Chill out shrimp! I just wanted to see you, so I went to your house as a fly, Envy spat the last word out like he was disgusted by the mere thought of him being a fly, And then I heard about that tradition thing and I figured I could get a kiss from you too. But seriously, you humans make such silly rules."

Alphonse wanted to shout at the authoress. He wanted to choke her for pairing Edward and Envy up, even though she might claim it's just a crush or it's mild or it's one-sided. Pairing up his brother with a normal fly was far better than pairing him up with a dangerous and psycho homunculus.

Envy shot Al a glare, like he could read to Al's thought or he could read the authoress' voice as she explained everything.

Al gulped but Envy looked away when Edward started throwing a fit.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SHRIMP THAT WILL GET LOST IN A PUDDLE OF WATER BECAUSE HE IS SMALL? AND THE HELL AM I KISSING YOU! YOU'RE EVEN WORSE THAN GENERAL SHIT HEAD!" Ed shouted while he pointed to Roy. Roy looked confused for a moment but he turned serious again. After all, when you're in front of a person who can kill you without a second thought, you just can't risk to flirt or be confused.

But Alphonse was confused, if Ed didn't want to kiss General, then why was he picked first?

"Eh? But you were so eager to kiss that man," Envy said nonchalantly as he stood up and examined his fingernails.

"WHAT? Me? Edward Elric? Eager to kiss him? Roy Mustang a.k.a General Bastard? You must be insane! Wait! You already are!"

Envy looked slightly surprised and annoyed, "Then why? Why choose to kiss him first?"

Ed looked strangely at Envy, "I wanted to kiss him first because it meant that the biggest obstacle was over."

Everyone else nearly sweat dropped. That was it? That was his great reason?

Al felt like he wanted to laugh out loud. He was relieved. He might have a chance after all but Al looked back at Envy and knew that this was not the right time to celebrate.

"Well, palm tree, are you going to attack or go away or what?"

Envy growled at the insult and everyone readied themselves.

'Ummm… Al… I should tell you something…"

Envy's gaze laid on Alphonse at the same time the authoress said his name. Envy scowled and his gaze became furious.

Ed growled, "Why are you looking at Al that way?"

Ed ran full-force to Envy, ignoring everyone's warnings. Envy dodged, Ed flipped and tried to punch Envy on his right. Envy dodged again, laughing mockingly as he did so. Ed tried to kick Envy on the stomach but it was like he knew what Edward had planned because he jumped away, took hold of Ed's leg and twisted it. Edward fell to the ground and rolled away before Envy was able to pin him down. They continued attacking each other, Roy, Riza and Havoc joined in but Envy trashed them all. Al, Fuery, Falman and Breda tended to the three's wounds. They lost consciousness and bled a little but other than they didn't got serious wounds. Al wanted to join but one look from Ed froze that plan.

Al watched in horror as Envy dodged every attack from Ed. And then finally, Ed was able to land a punch on Envy. Al was slightly relieved but soon the gears of his mind started working, Ed was only able to land a hit on Envy when the authoress stopped talking about what moves Ed were going to make.

Al's eyes widened in realization, "Authoress…"

"Ummm… yes?'

"Envy can also hear your voice as you write, right?"

"Well, yeah… He warned me by thought that I shouldn't tell you or else he'll kill me, even though I have no idea how he'll do that. But I couldn't take chances because he was already pissed off that I made him shape-shift into a fly. But it seems like you figured it out so I didn't really told you so that means he won't kill me!"

So Envy was glaring at the authoress, not at Alphonse!

"How come he's like that?"

"Envy is a homunculus, right? And homunculus came from the other side of the gate, right? And that means… he also came from my world…"

"So that's why…"

"Oh and I also wanted to make things harder for you, that's why I made it like that."

Al really wanted to strangle the authoress right there and then.

Ed was about to clap his hands to transmute the floor when Envy kicked him in the stomach. And while Ed was trying to stand up again, Envy looked at where Al was and scowled. Then he went back to fighting Ed again.

"Well, now he knows his secret's out. But he still has the advantage…"

Al watched the battle between the two, Ed targeted Envy's chest but Envy dodged that attack again. Al really wanted to help. And there was only one way to do that…

Al rushed into battle and punched Envy in the face. And with Ed's help they proceeded to beat up Envy and drove him out of their house.

Ed threw him out and was slightly amused when Envy disappeared with the promise that he'll be back.

The two brother's shared a smile but suddenly something clicked in Ed's head.

Ed looked annoyed at Al, "That was a reckless thing to do!"

And unfortunately for Al, the authoress wanted to sermon him as well.

"Totally OOC!"

"You could have gotten hurt!"

"OOC to the max!"

"Or maybe even worse, dead!"

"How can you act so OOC?"

"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!"

"YEAH! DON'T!"

Alphonse had to smile, "I'm really sorry."

Edward sighed and suddenly hugged Al. Al was surprised but nevertheless, he enjoyed it.

Edward burrowed his face in Al's chest, because Al was still taller than him, and he mumbled, "Scared the shit out off me…"

Al smiled softly, "I really am sorry brother…"

Ed smiled softly and walked to where the other's were with a slight blush on his face.

Al's hope got bigger when he saw that blush.

Al sighed happily. "At last everything is peaceful again…"

"That was so OOC of you! I never expected that!"

Al groaned silently, why can't the authoress understand that being OOC was sometimes needed, why can't she be like any normal person and sermon about something normal like what Ed did?

"Me? Normal? Never! And besides I'll leaving the worrying to Ed. And, yeah, you're right, I'm sorry. Sometimes being OOC is needed and it is quite nice, once in a while. You don't have to be what people expect you to be. Just be you! Wow, I just had an epiphany! Thanks! And you're a genius! If I didn't expect it, Envy wouldn't know so he was completely caught off guard!"

Al grinned and went to where the other's were.

It seemed like Roy, Riza and Havoc had to go to the hospital. Fuery asked Ed if he wanted to be checked by the doctor and Ed, predictably, refused. The five of them carried the three to a big black jeep. Edward and Alphonse worried a little but Breda assured them that it was nothing serious. Falman thanked them for the meal and Fuery apologized for not being able to help them clean up. Ed and Al assured them it was fine and talked about some other things and soon they found themselves waving to the black jeep as it drove away.

The two brothers looked at each other. Strangely everything felt normal, like they weren't just attacked by a crazy homunculus that wanted Ed to kiss him. Ed and Al entered their home and both felt content.

With a single clap, Ed was able to fix their dining room in no time. Al cleaned the things alchemy couldn't clean and soon everything was spick and span.

Al had to make sure Ed wasn't hurt and forced Ed, who had to be topless by the way, to stay still as he checked for broken bones, broken ribs, and bruises. He found some and treated them carefully.

After that, they just sat there in comfortable silence. Then Al remembered his plan again.

"Umm… brother?"

"Hmm?" Ed looked at Al with a curious expression on his face.

"Well… I was thinking… about that tradition… can you still do it to me?" Al asked shyly.

Ed gazed at Al with shock and amazingly, Ed slightly blushed, "Fine…"

Edward leaned closer. Al smiled as he noticed Ed was about to kiss his cheek, Ed never really said he'll kiss everyone on the lips.

And as Ed leaned, Al did an unexpected action…

And suddenly Edward Elric's intended target, Alphonse's cheek, moved and was replaced by a pair of lips. And suddenly, they kissed.

Ed stared widely at Al and Al looked back. Al thought he'll pull back and dismiss it as an accident. To his surprise Ed closed his eyes and kissed shyly back.

They stayed that way for a few minutes but they had to part. Both looked at the other with slight surprise.

Al looked at his lap and chewed his lip. It was now or never, "Ed, I… love you… more than what you think…"

Ed looked shocked at what Al said. Al winced inside but waited nervously yet also patiently, he learned a lot today and one of them was not to jump to conclusions much.

And to Al's sheer delight, Edward kissed him again… on the lips.

Ed smiled brightly at Al, "I love you too… Alphonse Elric. I also love you more than what you think."

Al smiled back just as brightly and the two settle in the sofa in comfortable silence. He noted that, strangely, everything still felt the same… only… their bond is much stronger now…

Unnoticed: Yup, you can learn a lot of things other than grammar stuff when you are writing. So admit it, my fighting scene sucked, my kissing scene sucked and I suck. XP

The Envy-is-connected-to-the-authoress-too is a spur of the moment thing. But I liked it. XD

Anyways, the next chapter is the epilogue where I say bye-bye to Alphonse and I have an idea for an omake! Cool!

Anyways, how was it? I hoped I didn't do anything wrong. Thanks a lot for reading and please review!
