A/N: Merry (belated) Christmas everyone and a happy new year! :) I've been gone for a quite a while and I apologize for that, I've had it pretty rough the past few months (switching countries and schools again) so I'm still trying to adjust to everything. A friend of mine suggested another fandom (Miraculous Ladybug lol) and I had to write for it to vent . But I hope I find my inspiration again for FMA! :) This story certainly isn't abandoned (as some readers inquired me through PM) and I don't think I'll end it quite yet ;)

ANSWERS TO REVIEWS:

DoubleDuece: Oh thank you so much! :) I'm really glad you like my crossover ones (even if I wrote them incredibly crappy ^^), I've heard of most of them but in particular with Exorcist, do you mean Blue Exorcist or just Exorcist? I think I haven't heard of Exorcist yet :) And thanks for the prompt, I'll be sure to write it up as soon as I have time! I'll need some time to go over the mentioned animes/mangas but I'll try and write a few crossovers if you want! :D

Once again merry belated Christmas and happy new year and a big thank you to all those that waited patiently :) I'll try to update more frequently.

Ruling the World

"I was thinking..." Lena turned her head slightly, tilting it upward, only managing to catch a glimpse of Greed's jaw from her position.

"About what?" the tranquil silence that took over them was accompanied by Greed's protective embrace and the thick wool blanket covering them off, both fresh parents looking at their sleeping children.

"You aren't my badass princess anymore..." Lena's lips drew into a frown, body tensing when she sensed Greed's low tone suddenly.

Greed smiled, kissing the top of her head affectionately, "You're my badass queen," Lena instantly relaxed again, melting against the solid body of her husband as she read between the lines.

"Mhm...and you're my badass king," she mumbled into his arm, content to fall asleep, curled up like she was.

"What are you talking about?" the sudden question caught her off guard.

"...What?" Lena groggily lifted her head, confused by Greed's sudden question.

She nearly fell to the floor if it weren't for Greed's arms catching her and gently depositing her on the sofa where he previously sat on, only to look at her aghast, "I can't be king,"

Lena blinked.

What?

"Huh?" she blinked rapidly, trying to decipher her husband's cryptic words.

Greed shook his head, crossing his arms stubbornly, "Oh no, I can't be king if I don't rule over the world! Lena! What the hell do I do?! You can't be queen without a king!"

Right eye twitching sporadically, Lena rested her head against the armrest of the sofa, groaning sleepily, "Oh for the love of-" she lifted her head, giving her significant other the 'evil eye', "Greed! Stop messing around and come here! I'm freaking cold!"

That wasn't quite true, since the blanket was warming her, but she wasn't about to tell Greed that.

But Greed shook his head, "Not until I rule over the world!"

Lena rolled her eyes, "What did I say?" she gave her husband a pointed look and after several seconds Greed rolled his eyes and relented.

"...'I can't rule over the world if I have babies on board',"

"And what do we have?" she arched a brow expectantly.

Greed sighed, "...Babies..."

Lena patted the spot behind her, leaving room for Greed to maneuver in. The former Homunculus sighed, settling behind his wife against her back and throwing the blanket over both of them to keep them warm as she cuddled up against him in her original position.

"Right," she smiled happily, "Now let's go to sleep," she settled against Greed, ready to fall asleep like she originally planned.

Greed smiled, shaking his head as he made himself comfortable and chanced a last glance over at his sleeping family, 'I guess...I already do rule over the whole world...' he smiled, slowly closing his eyes, '...my own,'

Lena waited several minutes before she checked if he was asleep. Smiling softly when he was well and truly asleep, Lena kissed his cheek lovingly, her tone but a whisper, "If I can be your queen then you'll be my king, with or without ruling the world,"

See you in the next chapter! :)
