Rakuen (Paradise)

Long Summary: Al has his body back now and he and his brother Ed get sucked into the exciting night life of alcohol and parties. Soon Ed starts to notice that he is looking at Al in a un-brotherly way. He begins to feel things that some people say are forbidden between brothers. Does Al feel these same feeling that he does? If Al does love him more then a brother should, can they ever be together or will their love always be forbidden in the public's eye. They say love endures but there are some 'loves' that shouldn't EVER happen. Rated for language, light to strong lemon, and mature themes.

Hi everyone welcome to my first Fullmetal Alchemist Fanfic! I've only been watching FMA for a few weeks but I have seen the whole series and the movie already (I've only seen the Japanese episodes!).

IMPORTANAT:

I am reposting chapter one in order to fix the name I spelled wrong. Like I said I never actually knew how they spelled her name. In my subtitled dvd they translate her name to Wendy. I also would like to apologize I didn't mean to sound as if I don't care about my fanfic as far as spelling and grammar goes I guess I should have explained my self a bit better. My fault. I'm so sorry. Let me try one more time.

I can't spell, and I have poor grammar. I do not wish to get any nasty flames as far as my pairing Ed and Al or because this fic has lemons in it I never said you couldn't point out my spelling and grammar mistakes but at this point in time I wont have much time to correct them right away so you may have to wait a while before I can fix these problems. I wont get offended if you point them out and I know its not the end of the world if I spell something wrong and someone corrects it in a review. I do have spell check and beta readers but sometimes it doesn't always work 100 of the time. I really try my best and I have three jobs and I only get about two hours to my self so I can only do so much work on my fic everyday and sometimes I have no time at all but I still want to be apart of fanfiction because I love this website.

I post more often with lots of reviews. Make a authoress happy and please drop me a line if you enjoy this fanfic. Positive ones are the best! It is your review and you make it how ever you want but I've had some bed experience with reviewers that only flame people and have not one nice thing to say about anything. I still appreciate your review no matter what you say in it! THANK YOU FOR ANY REVIEW YOU GIVE ME.

WARNING: This fic is rated R for good reason. This fic is for mature readers only please be aware of this before reading it. Don't read it if you dislike lemons, Yaoi, or other mature themes I may have in this fic. I do not want to be reported I think R is a very good rating for this fic and I hope everyone who does read it like it.

Enjoy!

Chapter One: Misperception

Ed pulled the pillow over his head as he heard Winry calling for him to get out of bed. Just because she was usually up at the crack of dawn didn't mean everyone else had to be. Now that they had moved in with her she seemed to be annoyingly bossy. Ed heard a rap at his and Al's door and her voice telling him that he needed to stop being lazy and get out of bed. Ed gowned and pushed him self out of bed. She continued to knock on his door until he opened it up. She crossed her arms and smirked.

"Rough night?" She said with a giggle.

It sure looked like he had a rather rough night. His yellow blonde hair was unbraided and messy and he seemed to have on the cloths he wore yesterday. She laughed pointing out his funny morning look as he rubbed his eyes to adjust to the light.

"Well your brother is already up so why can't you wake up before noon?" She asked

Ed mumbled how annoying she was before shutting the door on her so she would leave him alone. He began looking for clean cloths to put on then decided he should shower. He walked down the hall and let him self in the bathroom. The room was humid and the mirror was completely fogged and the shower was on letting Ed know Al must have been taking a shower already or he hoped it was Al and not one of the two females in the house.

"Onisan?" Al's voice came from behind the shower curtain.

"Only me." Ed said. Ed turned to the mirror and wiped it off with his human hand. He began to smooth out his hair a bit just before taking out his tooth brush. The shower shut off as Ed scrubbed away at his teeth.

"Can you hand me a towel?" Al said from behind the shower curtain.

Ed pulled out a clean towel and flipped it over the shower bar. He continued to brush his teeth as Al stepped out of the shower with the towel wrapped around his waist. Ed felt an odd hot flush lightly brush over his face as he tried to keep his eyes away from his towel clad brother. Al never seemed to notice the way Ed looked at him. There were times Ed didn't even know him self that he was staring at Al. Ed began to rinse his mouth out keeping his eyes lowered as Al dried off. Al pulled on a pair of boxers then unwrapped the towel from his waist. Ed who was still trying too keep his eyes on the floor turned to start the shower up for himself. Al pulled on a pair of tight black leather pants before stepping in front of the mirror to comb out his shoulder length blonde hair. Ed found himself moving his eyes from the floor to Al's legs then slowly upwards.

"I know, I'm sorry Nisan." The voice snapped him out of his daze and he looked up at Al with a full blush.

"These are your pants, I know. I really like them though, you don't mind do you?" Al said looking at him in the mirror. Ed turned back to the show to keep Al from seeing his reddened face.

"I don't mind. They look nice." Ed wanted to die after saying that but he quickly began to remove his cloths and step into the shower. Hopefully Al didn't take that the way Ed was really meaning it.

By the time Ed was finished in the shower Al had already left the bathroom. Ed stood in front of the mirror again putting his hair into the normal braid its usually in. His mind began to drift off a bit as he got dressed. He tried to sort out whatever it was he was feeling. It was so confusing. Every time Al was around he found him self looking at him and feeling something. This seemed to be more then the love an older brother had but almost like he had a crush on Al. Ed shook his head of the thought. He would do what he had been doing the past month or so and just tried to ignore the strange feelings. Al was his brother, and yes he loved him, but he loved him the way a brother would normally love a brother and nothing more. Ed came down to the kitchen to find Al finishing up breakfast and everything was being put away. Ed sunk into a chair moaning that he was hungry.

"That will teach you to get up a bit earlier. Then you wont miss breakfast." Winry said

"I was up too late to get up early." Ed said

"So was Al." Winry said

"I didn't drink." Al said

"He was too chicken." Ed said

"Was not."

"Was so."

"Was not."

"Who cares, Ed we have some work granny wants us to get done before you go anywhere." Winry said.

"Great."

Granny seem to take advantage of the two alchemists in the house now. She put them to work fixing things that were broken. Ed sat on the roof with some scrap metal alchemizing new gutters for the house meanwhile Al sat a bundle of shingles down then he fashioned up a circle with some chalk just before alchemizing the roof to fix the leak it had. Granny also had a fence that needed mending and the close line had snapped.

"Well I think that about wraps it up boys." Winry said

"Sure you don't want us to alchemize a new house or something." Ed said a little annoyed.

"Now that you mention it.."

"Are you crazy!" Ed snapped.

"Joking Ed, that's every thing. Don't stay out all night again." Winry said before she turned to go inside. Ed was still shaking his fist as she walked away. After the annoyance faded the two brothers began to walk to the train station. It was a lovely day out and the two seemed to remain quiet for most of the walk. Ed walked a few paces behind Al watching him sheepishly. He noted to him self how well his leather pants fit Al and also the way the tight red shirt hugged Al's lean but well built upper body.

"Onisan?" Al's voice broke his daze.

"Hm?" Ed said trying to focus on something besides Al.

"What are we going to do today?" Al asked still walking.

"I don't know." Ed said in nearly a whisper as he focused his gaze on the spring country side trying to loose the blushing color his face held. Ed was so lost in his own confusion he abruptly ran into Al who decided to stop walking.

"S-sorry." Ed said a little stunned taking a step backwards.

"Onisan, is everything okay?" Al asked only half turned to look at Ed. That was a question Ed himself couldn't even figure out for his own satisfaction.

"Uh…Yeah! Just need more sleep I guess." Ed said trying to not to sound nervous as he laughed it off. Al paused a moment before a relieving smile crossed his slightly worried expression.

"So what should we do today?" Al asked.

"I'm sure we'll figure something out." Ed said
