I was soo happy when I woke up this morning and checked my email. YAY I GOT THREE REVIEWS. That's all the reviews needed to make me want to update. So yeah, thank you~~

Disclaimer: I own nothing.


I smiled as Roy held me close. This was everything I had ever asked for.

"Hey Edo, look there's a photo both." Roy said as he pointed to the photo both that was across the mall near the escalator.

"We should go get pictures!" I said excitedly.

Roy nodded as he unwrapped his arms from around my waist. As we walked over towards the colorful both, he pulled my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine. I blushed at the contact. As we entered the booth he began to press some buttons and gave the machine the money needed. Quickly, he sat back down and pulled me close. The machine gave us three short beeps before the flash went off. We quickly posed for another pictures, making funny faces this time. For the last picture, he pulled me close to his and softly kissed me. I blushed at this, as soon as the machine stopped beeping, he pulled away. Walking out, we waited to receive the small strip of pictures. A few minutes later, the pictures slid out and Roy picked them up. Roy's smile grew when he saw the last one.

"May I keep this one?" He asked me.

"Of course." I said.

He nodded as he tore it off the strip. Getting out his wallet, he slid it in the picture slot.

"And now, I'll remember this every time I open my wallet." Roy said.

I blushed.

We walked back to the fountain, taking a seat on the ledge of it.

"Roy…What if they don't approve?" I asked quietly.

He pulled me into his arms, and intertwined his fingers in my hair.

"Edward, they love you. I'm sure they will approve." Roy said gently.

I only nodded as I was a t lose of what to say.

"Now come on, we still have some time left to hang around the mall." Roy said.

I smiled as he took my hand and pulled me up to my feet. I smiled as he dragged me all around the mall. We ended up going to the book store again, we didn't really get a chance to look around when we had met Maes there earlier.

"What type of books do you like, Edo?" Roy asked me.

I shrugged. "All sorts. The genre doesn't really matter to me, as long as the book is good. But my top favorites are the classics. Like Wuthering Heights, The Pride and the Prejudice, etc." I said.

"The classics are my favorites too; they have something that the books from our time don't. I can't explain it." Roy said.

I smiled. We browsed around the book store for a few more minutes before we headed off to the fountain again. We were early, by at least fifteen minutes, but I didn't really care. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Can I ask you a question?" Roy asked.

"Of course." I said.

"You never mentioned much of you father when you told me about your past. I know he left when you were young, but what do you remember about him?" Roy asked.

Well, that certainly was not what I was expecting. My eyes darted down to my feet.

"Well…When he did come around…Things never went well. He and Mom would fight a lot." I said.

-Flashback-

I watched as Mom and Dad were standing in the kitchen.

"I can smell her perfume Hoenheim!" Mom yelled as she glared at Dad.

"And what does that mean?!" Dad shot back.

"It means you were out cheating on me again!" Mom shouted.

Al and I sat on the staircase, I kept my arm in front of him so that he wouldn't try to interfere.

"Brother? Why are Mommy and Daddy fighting?" Al asked. He was too innocent to hear this, he was only six.

"I don't know, Al." I said.

We heard a sound of breaking glass, and I had assumed that Mom had thrown something at Dad. But that was only because Dad would go to hit her. It was the same thing over, and over, and over again. I hated them fighting. But I hated Dad more, he always made Mom cry. And he says that he loves her!

More sounds of breaking glass and Dad trying to throw punches hit my ears. It was bad tonight; Dad must have really done something bad this time.

"Come on Al, let's go to bed." I said as I grabbed my little brother hand.

He knew that this meant that it was getting dangerous for us to be near them, so he didn't whine about it.

-End of flashback-

"It got to a point where he and Mom got a divorce; we haven't seen or heard from his since." I said.

"Wow…Did he ever hit you?" Roy asked.

I was silent for a minute. "A couple times." I said softly.

Roy stared at me wide eyed for a minute before he pulled me into a hug.

"He never hit Al, right?" Roy asked.

"No, I'd always take his hits for him." I said.

Roy sighed as he kissed my hair. I smiled as I laid my head against his chest.

"Well, took you two long enough to get together."

I turned to see Al standing in front me. I blushed as I pulled out of his embrace.

"Y-Yeah…" I managed to stutter out.

Al smiled. "I'm so happy for you brother!" Al said.

He then pulled me into a hug.

"So…you're okay with me dating Roy?" I asked.

Al pulled me out of the embrace and looked me dead in the eye. "Of course brother! What ever makes you happy makes me happy!" Al said.

Suddenly my phone rang; Al unwrapped his arms from around my neck and let me pull my phone out of my pocket.

"Hello?" I asked.

'Ed, this is Auntie Pinako, I need you and Al to get home quick.'

"Why?" I asked.

'You'll just have to see when you get here.'

"Um, okay. I'll be there soon. And Roy's going to be with me, because I have some news to give you." I said.

She gave an 'mhmm' in response and then the line went dead. I snapped my phone shut and looked at the two males before me.

"We have to get home." I said.

"Why?" Al asked.

"Auntie Pinako wants us home." I said.

"Oh." Al said.

"Can you drive us?" I asked Roy.

"Of course." Roy said.

I nodded. I sent Winry a text saying why we wouldn't be meeting them for dinner. And after that the three of walked out to Roy's car. I sat up front by Roy, and Al sat in the back seat. Roy started driving out of the parking lot, and soon down the street.

"So brother, how did you and Roy become a couple?" Al asked once we had gotten in the car.

I blushed at that.

"Well…He said that he loved me…." I started. Fidgeting with the bottom of my shirt.

"And I kissed him in the middle of the mall." Roy finished .

"Awww. How cute." Al said.

We arrived at the house a few minutes later, I instantly noticed that there was another car in the drive way. One that I did not recognize. Roy parked his car in his drive way, and we walked next door to the house.

"I have a bad feeling about this…" I whispered.

Opening the door, I saw a face I never wanted to see again.

"Oh…my…god…" I whispered.
