Chapter thirty-nine: Eloping
Edward knocked on Coniniaue's door. "Hey, can I come in?"
"Sure." Coniniaue was sitting on her bed in her pajamas, a small table and a stack of papers in front of her.
Edward opened the door. "What are you doing?"
"Writing."
"Well, I'm really bored…" He smiled. "And I bought you something earlier."
"Ooh! What?" She was suddenly interested. Edward fell to one knee and held out a small box. He opened it, revealing the dazzling diamond ring inside. "Coniniaue Tommy, will you marry me?"
Coniniaue blinked. "Edward, I'm sixteen…"
"So am I! I'm sure of this! Coniniaue, I will never love a girl as much as I love you, and I don't want to lose you…"
Coniniaue just stared at him. "Edward, I… Yeah. Sure. I'll marry you…"
"YES!" Edward put the ring on her finger. "I promise, after the wedding we'll have a big party, invite everyone we know, but I want to shove it in colonel Mustang's face, so he can't know about the wedding yet… Haha! YES!"
After the wedding, two days later
"Fullmetal!" Roy glared at Edward across his desk. "Where have you been the last two days?" He hadn't noticed the matching rings on the two alchemist's fingers…
"Oh, here and there…" Edward smiled, looking at Coniniaue.
"And where have YOU been, Bloodless?" He growled.
"Wherever Edward was." She smiled as well.
"I have no choice but to take away from your salaries…"
"You're just jealous I got married before you." Edward blurted. Coniniaue smiled and giggled.
"What the Hell are you talking about, Fullmetal?" Colonel Roy Mustang asked, casting his eyes over the two alchemists.
"I got married to Coniniaue two days ago."
"That's impossible!" He replied. "You're only sixteen, and you need permission from your guardians."
"Well, I have no parents, and neither does Coniniaue. So we act as our own guardians." He held up his hand, the golden ring flashing in the sunlight. Coniniaue held up her hand with the matching ring as well.
Roy just blinked and stared. He slowly laid his head on his desk. "A sixteen year old boy got married before I did. Damn."
((XD sorry, fangirls. Edward got married! I'M DEVESTATED TOO!))
