A/N: Hello! Another chapter up! I'm sorry it took so long, but I sent this to my beta and she lost it. Anyway, here is the chapter: proposal

Proposal

Roy sat on a black leather sofa in the lounge room of his house, thinking. Today he planned to do something that he had thought about for at least a year, but had never gone through with. As he thought, his hand slipped into his jacket pocket, where a small box lay. This was the object that had caused his thoughts to evolve into actions. Now was the moment for action.

Taking a deep breath, he called out to Ed who was sitting in another room, no doubt torturing is brain through countless pages of alchemical arrays, in search of some way to return his brothers soul to his body.

After a few minute of scuffling sounds coming from the other room, Ed emerged, book in hand. He walked over to Roy, and, putting his book on the table, sat on his lap, facing him. He pressed their lips together in a searing kiss.

Only seconds later, Roy pulled back, dizzy, realising that if he was going to do what he had planned to, he would need a clear head, not one clouded with lust and passion. Ed looked confused, and tried to rejoin their lips, but Roy turned his head away, and slipped Ed off his lap.

"I need to talk to you."

Confused thoughts ran through Ed's head. Why was Roy acting so coldly towards him? Had he done something wrong? Suddenly recognition flared in his eyes. Roy was tired of him, and was about to break up with him. It was the only plausible explanation.

"It's OK Roy, I'm fine with it," Ed said, but he wasn't. Tears filled his eyes. For the past three years He and Roy had shared their lives with each other, and he didn't want that to end.

It was Roy's turn to feel confused. Why was Ed crying? Standing he pulled Ed into his arms, trying to comfort him. But Ed pulled back, brushing the tears from his eyes with the back of a hand.

"Don't make this harder for both of us. I'll go now," He turned to leave.

Suddenly Roy realised what Ed must have thought. He grabbed Ed's hand in his, and pulled him close once again, this time not letting him go, no matter how hard he fought.

"No Ed, you've got it all wrong. Don't leave. Never leave."

Taking his arms away from around Ed's waist, but still holding his hand, he went down on one knee. With the other hand, he reached into his pocket, feeling for the box.

Wild, confused thoughts ran through Ed's head. He had got it all wrong? Suddenly the hugeness of what must be about to happen hit him. Roy was PROPOSING!

"Ed, these last three years have been the most unexpected and eventful of my entire life. And all of that is thanks to you. You have made each of my days brighter, and I want that to continue forever. I…." He paused for a second. It was so hard to say. "I love you, and want to be with you until I die. Will you marry me?"

In the tense seconds of silence that followed, Roy's mind flew. Why wasn't Ed answering? He hung his head, failing to see the gleam of absolute joy in Ed's eyes. He felt a hand on his cheek. Guiding his face upwards to where Ed was, now smiling and nodding. His heart launched into the air as he stood, pulling Ed into his arms once again.

Ed slipped his arms around Roys shoulders, standing on tiptoes to join their lips. He couldn't believe what had just happened! Pushing his fingers through Roys hair he deepened the kiss, each of their tongues stroking, teasing. Shivers of pleasure ran down Roys spine, making him moan.

They pulled apart to breathe many times before they finally calmed, and simply held each other. Standing together in the middle of the lounge room, they silently made a promise of eternity.

Outside the window, in the darkness, Maes Hughes stood. He had chosen the right day. Pure luck, of course (Never!). He had hoped they would come to this, and finally, the original idea of his plan was coming into play.
