Hey everyone, finally it's Friday, I thought it would never come . Well, a lot has been going on so I hope this one shot won't be too badly written! A bit on the funny side and a bit on the serious side :3

ANSWERS TO REVIEWS:

Panic: (rubs chin) Hm...Sig and Izumi huh? Well, the suggestion is good but the fic will be loosely based, but based nonetheless, on the old song of Taylor Swift which is more of a interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, which I don't really think would apply to Izumi and Sig (the forbidden love, opposite sides...etc.) that's why I had the idea of Greed X Lena, since I put Lena on the side of Ed & Co. where she was fighting against Greed in the beginning. Ah, btw Panic, I wanted to ask you about one of your prompts, the one where Greed passes on Ling's message...call me stupid if I'm wrong please do, it's been a stressful day and my brain seems to be steadily shutting down, but didn't Ling receive a message from Lan Fan (in Xingese)or maybe I missed something out . T_T haha Don't worry about it, I'm demanding myself and pretty selfish, writing my ideas instead of reader's prompts . Well, I really like, for some reason, the Greed X Lena pairing so you may see more of them than anyone would really like I'm afraid ^^

Lily: haha thanks Lil'! Well, I never thought I would like a Greed x OC pairing as much as I like him with my OC Lena ^^ Ofc though I still like Greelingfan too ;) I just imagined Lena being a bit of a potty mouth (but not as much as Greed) to match him in temper and stubbornness, also because she's more of a tomboy than a girl girl that too (guess I applied a few aspects of myself in her too ^^).

Emma: (blinks in surprise, sits down and thinks) Hmmm...a whole separate fanfic about Greed X Lena huh? (smirks slowly) Heh...well, I will definitely consider it...multiple times, if I finish at least ONE of my currently 13 in-progress stories then I will definitely add them to the bunch too if there are enough requests for them. ^_^ Thanks Emma for the idea and the compliments!

Bob: You're welcome Bob!

Natsu: Fairy Tail huh? Well, on what season are you right now? I would hate to spoil anything, BUT if you heard of the "Alvarez Arc" then well...I'm not sure if after that there will be any seasons truthfully, perhaps one or two more if dear Mashima has more wonderful ideas, as there are still many questions left unanswered. (shrugs)

Anonymous J: Hi there buddy! How's school going? I hope you don't have as much stress as I do (laughs) haha Thank you, honestly, I really like to hear when I did something right and that it makes people happy and smile (smiles sweetly) Thanks, I'm still working on the "good night's rest" bit but otherwise I'm fine, just wish I had a sword to fight off those pesky demons called "exams" (shiver) (reads your last sentence and smirks evilly) Ah, a horror prompt huh? Hihi, I could write a funny/scary one and a serious/terrifying one just send me some ideas if you have any! ;) Nah, don't worry, my dear readers never bother me!

Small Signs of Love

"Well fine you don't have to listen to me! Noisy woman, it was just a innocent look!" Greed growled, glaring heatedly at his girlfriend, who looked about ready to murder him.

Brown eyes blazed like hot embers as she took a step toward her tall boyfriend, hands on her hips, her teeth grit tightly together before she barked sharply, "An innocent look?! And you expect me to believe that? Are you fucking insane?! Do you think I'm stupid Greed? I saw the way you looked at her!"

Greed detected the note of hurt in his girlfriend's voice, anger and hurt. Great. "The way I-well how did I look at her?! I just looked at her Lena, for two seconds! You know I love you! Why the hell would I be two timing you anyway?! We are happy ain't we? Unless ya got something to tell me, sweetheart," Greed crossed his arms, violet eyes narrowing.

Lena grew even more furious, enraged," You got some balls, throwing my question right back at me when you have nothing to even be suspicious about! Who would I be even two timing you with anyway?!" she growled, deciding to humor him and answer his ridiculous question.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe my better half Ling?! Or the Elric runt?! Maybe even that, what was that farmer's name...Rob? Robert? Whatever, I don't care! What about them huh?" Greed scoffed childishly, intent on winning this fight.

Lena's eyes widened at just how ridiculous this whole conversation was! She couldn't believe her boyfriend of four fucking years just said that, the nerve of him! "How dare you Greed! We've been together now for four years already! How the hell can you even possibly think I would ever cheat on you?! And Ling?! LING?! Did you hit your head somewhere? Multiple times? He's with Lan Fan for hell's sake! And he's not even my type! I like your untamed, wild look a lot more! Ed...need I remind you that the man has a fiancée and both happen to be my best friends?! How in the world would I date Ed?! And that Robert Windmill guy flirts with practically every woman! He did the same shit with Winry and Riza! Maybe he just likes blonde spitfires I don't know!" Lena threw her hands up in the air in exasperation.

Greed pointed a accusing finger at her, "Well, you aren't blonde! A damn spitfire, but not blonde! And need I remind you that I seriously am not into redheads or blondes?" Greed gave her a dry look, not believing how very ridiculous his longtime girlfriend could be when she set her mind to it.

Lena flushed, "T-that doesn't matter! You looked at that bimbo and that was enough for me! She was practically stripping you with her eyes Greed!" she crossed her arms, turning her back to him, her cheeks red in annoyance.

She heard him sigh deeply, then felt him right behind her, "I don't give a flying fuck that she stripped me with her eyes, you know why?" then he leaned down and whispered close to her ear, his hot breath fanning her ear and neck, "Because you're the only woman that knows how I actually look like under all these clothes. She can imagine, but you can remember every single detail," Lena shivered despite trying hard to suppress it.

Greed continued, a small grin forming on his face at her shiver, "While other women may dream and drool of me holding em' or kissing em', you can do that anytime, any day, anywhere. You can slap me and I won't do a damn thing, others try to slap me, they lose an arm. You can punch and kick me, but I will never hit you, others can do that, I'll beat them within an inch of their life. You kiss me, I'll kiss you double, any other bitch tries to, I'll bite off their tongue." Greed wrapped his arms around her waist, his warmth seeping into her back, calming her.

He pressed his lips gently against the side of her neck, "I kiss you, you kiss me back and leave me breathless. Other guys kiss you and you would rip off their balls. You touch me, I'll make ya coming back for more, other guys try to touch you and I will make sure they were never born. You kiss me, I thank Truth for each and every day with you." Greed nuzzled her neck affectionately, hugging her closely.

"I say I love you..." Greed began but Lena smiled and finished for him, tears in her eyes.

"...I say I love you more than my life," she finished softly, turning in his arms and launching herself into his, kissing him passionately.

He smiled and kissed her back, gently breaking apart to nuzzled his nose against hers affectionately.

Lena sighed, "You know how jealous I can sometimes get...and it's not because I think you would ever betray me, I know you wouldn't. It's because I think I'm not good enough and that I-mpffh!" Greed silenced her with his lips, kissing her again, leaving her slightly dazed as he sent her a fanged smirk.

"Bullshit, sweets, bullshit. You're the best damn thing that could have happened to me, I won't let your insecurities or anyone else come between us," Greed smiled softly, nuzzling into her hair and kissing her forehead.

Lena smiled, gently caressing his cheek.

Slowly, a smirk stretched over her lips, "So..." she began, wrapping her arms around his neck, one leg around his waist, "I kiss you..." she kissed him, passionately, intensely.

After she broke away, it was Greed that was left a little dazed, he automatically hoisted her up, her long strong legs wrapping around his waist, "I kiss you back..."

She grinned, "I touch you..." she let her hand trail from his powerful neck down to his chest and stomach, making teasing patterns through his shirt.

Greed growled, his hands squeezing and caressing her thighs," I touch you back..." he growled lowly, violet eyes darkening.

Lena licked her lips, trailing them teasingly over his neck, suckling, "I bite you..." she softly bit into a sensitive spot on his neck she knew all too well.

Greed growled, a deep, guttural sound which traveled in the form of a violent shiver all the way down to Lena's toes, he leaned his mouth down to her own neck and lavished it wetly with his tongue, before biting a little harder, the way she liked it. His reward was a low, drawn out moan, "I fucking bite you back," Greed growled.

Lena, dazed herself, fisted his hair, making him look directly into her eyes, "I...tell you to have some fun?" she smiled an impish, deceivingly sweet smile and Greed's grin couldn't have been wider without splitting his face into two.

"I say hell yes!" Greed cheered, carrying his laughing wife towards their bedroom.

Ed tapped his foot against the floorboards nervously, his throat tightening up further and his hands feeling clammy and sweaty when he heard his wife approaching closer to the living room, where he was standing, a nervous wreck.

"Ed? Where are you? I need you to-E-Ed?!" Winry gasped in shock, blue eyes blinking uncontrollably at the scene before her.

Her husband was standing there, the whole setting extremely cheesy yet so very sweet.

He was holding a bouquet of red roses and tiger lilies in his hands, behind him, the letters, which were handmade by Edward Elric of automail parts, read, "My wife, my life, I love you always," it was extremely cheesy and so unexpected that Winry did the first thing she could in this situation.

She laughed.

Hard.

"E-E-Ed! I...oh my god...I just c-can't-" she continued to laugh loudly, holding her stomach.

The tall man blinked in confusion, pouting like a child being denied candy. He crossed his arms and scoffed, "What now? Yeah, yeah, I ain't such a fancy engineer like you, but I did my best and if you don't like it then I can-" Ed's breath was knocked out of him so suddenly he fell backward to the couch, the added weight of Winry on top of him making him look up at her in surprise.

"W-Win? W-what..?" tears were in her eyes and that got him alarmed.

"Y-you dork...you sweet dork...I'm so happy I married such a sweet idiot like you!" she wrapped her arms around him, kissing his cheeks affectionately and placing a sweet kiss on his lips, which he returned.

Ed blinked slowly, before smiling and pulling the flowers closer, "So...you like it?" tearfully, Winry accepted the flowers, smelling their sweet fragrance and smiling down at him.

"Like it? I love it Ed! This is the sweetest thing you ever did! Thank you so much! But you really didn't have to you know?" she smiled, a light blush dusting her cheeks.

Edward grinned and shook his head, grinning from ear to ear, "Of course I did! What sort of a husband would I be if I didn't do something special and cheesy on my wife's birthday?" he smiled and hugged her, stroking her back, the flowers momentarily forgotten on the coffee table.

Winry sighed happily, cuddling closer to him, observing the metallic letters," Without alchemy...you're amazing did I tell you that?" Winry whispered, playing with his pony tail.

Ed chuckled, "No, but you should more," he winked and caressed her cheek with his thumb, "But it's you that's amazing Win, more than I ever could be," the blonde woman shook her head at her husband's sweet and kind words and kissed him gently, content to simply bask in his presence and just cuddle with him lazily on the couch.

Ed didn't complain, he didn't complain at all.

He was glad she liked it. He already had in mind what he would do next year...

"What is wrong, dear?" Mrs. Bradley asked her husband, sipping her tea and looking at him with soft, worried eyes, the slight wrinkles around them moving with the motion of her frown.

Bradley looked at her from his newspaper, a underlying anger beneath his façade of calm collectiveness as he thought of the events that had transpired that day.

Greed, his second reincarnation, had attacked him and had almost harmed his wife and Pride, he didn't care much for Pride, for he knew the Homunculus in disguise would take care of himself and regenerate, unfortunately, his dear human wife didn't have those capabilities. He had been ready to tear Greed's head clean off his shoulders if the pest hadn't put up his shield in the nick of time and fled through the window. Wrath had been very tempted to chase after him and teach him a lesson, but he was more concerned about his shaken and terrified wife, who had been clutching Selim closely to her, protecting him like any mother would.

It had broken his heart to see her so shaken, for things that could have very well been prevented if his dear Father and his Homunculi brethren had been more prepared.

Wrath had still be furious after that ordeal, dealing with noisy authorities and the military hadn't been very welcome either, so here he was, sitting in the living room and trying to read the newspaper, but his wife seemed to have noticed his mood. Had he been too open? Didn't he hide it better?

Bradley though smiled happily like he always did, trying to reassure his wife, "Wrong? Why nothing is wrong, I'm simply reading the newspaper," he sent her a smile but he was caught off guard when her face hardened and her voice came out strong as she spoke.

"I have known you for far too long to have you deceive me, dear. We have been married for a long time, don't you think I notice when you try to hide your anger?" he visibly tensed, alarmed at this confession. Of course, he didn't think she was completely oblivious, but he also thought he was doing a good job of hiding the majority of his emotions from her.

"Is this about that man that had attacked us today?" Bradley noted the fear in her voice and his jaw tightened, she had truly been terrified then, of Greed, of one of his brethren.

Bradley cleared his throat, no longer wearing a mask of a forced smile, rather the wrinkles on his face became more pronounced with the slight frown he showed openly, "I have just been worried, surely you understand. We have only the best of security stationed here and to think one simple man such as him could have easily gained access into the house...I'm afraid of what will happen if I'm gone and you and Selim are alone at home," in truth, Bradley only cared about keeping her safe, since Pride wasn't in any real danger due to him secretly being a Homunculus, but he couldn't tell her that.

Mrs. Bradley's worried expression melted into a warm smile, making her appear slightly younger, her lines softening, the crease in her brows flattening, "I understand and I'm scared as well, but...there is no need to be afraid, right?" Bradley blinked at her, not understanding where his wife was coming from, "I mean, you're my husband, you're the Führer, I know I am safe when I'm with you, no matter if you're here or not. If that man would have come into the house and you weren't at home, I'm sure I would just need to call you loudly and you would appear within the same minute to protect Selim and I." Her eyes were full of love when she looked at him.

Wrath was stunned, completely caught off guard as he inspected his wife. Those words had been the last things he had expected to hear from her, truly. He knew his wife may be very kind and generous, but she wasn't dim witted and certainly not as oblivious as many perceived her to be, as he himself, perceived her to be.

He set aside the paper and stood from his position on the couch, his wife looked up at him in surprise at his sudden change of place, standing up as well.

Bradley approached his wife and wrapped his arms around her, one hand against the back of her head to gently lean her forehead against his shoulder, the other resting securely around her waist.

Wrath would have been ridiculed, spited and thought a fool if any of his Homunculi brethren or Father would have seen him likes this, but he didn't care. All he cared about was her. This woman. The woman that was his wife, his precious wife, the one thing in the world he truly cared for and cherished.

She seemed to be in shock for the first few moments, until he felt her wrap her arms around his waist, grasping at his white dress shirt. He leaned his chin down to rest on the crown of her head, sighing deeply, inhaling her familiar scent, it made his previously madly boiling blood calm down almost instantly.

He was the sin representing wrath and anger, that much was true, but he was the calmest he could ever be when he was with his wife, his family, his treasure. He was at ease, peaceful...and sometimes, in those foolish moments where he allowed himself the pleasure of relaxing with her, he mistook himself for a real human, an actual human being, not the monster he truly was. She had that ability to sometimes make him forget that fact, where he felt more like a man than ever.

And he cherished her deeply for that. He affectionately kissed her forehead, stroking her hair and back soothingly, she relaxed against him, her weight pressing pleasantly against his body, "Everything will be alright, dear, I promise you that," he hugged her tighter, closer, wishing desperately that his words rang true.

She could only nod into his shoulder, before she found her voice again and uttered in a tone he only heard because of his enhanced hearing, "I know it will, because I have you,"

Wrath smiled, basking in the presence that was his amazing and loving wife.

The only thing in the world he ever willingly chose. The only thing he wouldn't trade for anything, he would give his Philosopher's Stone without missing a heartbeat if it meant she was safe and sound.

Because he loved her that much.

Pride was as silent as the shadows he commanded, hiding behind their darkness to conceal himself from the keen eyes of his brother Wrath.

He had listened into their conversation and watched the entire exchange, he felt a voice at the back of his mind, snickering in disgust, "How pathetic, a Homunculus as powerful as Wrath, reduced to nothing but a weakling in front of a mere human woman,"

Pride paid the voice, his inner sin, no mind. Without a sound, he left the room, the smile on Wrath's and his mother's face playing in front of his mind's eye.

The end for this one! Well, I hope I met Panic's expectations of this chapter (though I have the feeling like she meant something else to be written? ^^") Reviews are always very appreciated! Thanks for reading!
