Ed walked down the hallway, his head spinning. He stopped in the doorway to Rae's room. Rae looked up and glared at him from where she was, reading a book to herself, her hand resting on her small bulge. Ed's hand reached into his pocket. He could feel the lump in his pocket, the small velvet box that he knew held his entire future. He fidgeted with it and thought about what he was going to say. She stared at him a little longer, her look softening. He looked so nervous about something. Ed choked for a second and she fixed him with the same icy cold stare again as her uncle always did. Ed walked in and shut the door behind him. Rae looked back at her book again as he sat down next to her on the bed.

"Rachel… are you alright?"

"AM I ALRIGHT?" She spoke with a raised voice and Ed flinched, "I'm not the one who was slee-" Ed put his finger over her lips.

"Shhh… I didn't sleep with her. I thought about it Rae. I really thought about it just to get you back but… I love you so much that sometimes it hurts me. Every time I see you with him I feel this huge monster of anger and jealously rise up. I just hate it when you're with someone else." His fingers touched the small velvet box. "Rachel… I know you and I… we're meant for each other. I don't care what your uncle says or what your mind says…" His hand caressed the side of her face tenderly, his deep bullion eyes filling with the feeling that beat in his heart. "But… what does your heart say?" His hand slid down to rest between her breasts. She looked up into his eyes, locking hers into his.

"Ed… I…" Her eyes closed and his lips met hers in a tender kiss, her arms wrapping around his neck. "I love you Edward Elric." She muttered, looking back into his eyes, their bodies so close that she could hear his heartbeat as well as her own. She leaned into his arms as he wrapped them around her, her head resting on his shoulder. His hand slid down her body to rest on her naval. His other hand pulled out the little black box, wrapping his arm around her again.

"Rachel Anne Mustang… will you marry me?" The 24 year old whispered in her ear, clicking the box open. She turned to look at him.

"M-Marry you?" She looked shocked.

"Yeah…" He looked down-hearted.

"Of course I will Ed. I don't see why you even had to ask." Rae put her hands on his face and pulled his lips to hers, he leaned into the kiss, sliding the ring onto her finger.

"Take good care of that now… it wasn't cheap to find, a real diamond not created by alchemic hands and unaltered to match your beauty." Ed murmured in her ear.

"I can't tell Greg yet." Rae told him. "It's going to be a secret."

"Yes… our dirty little secret… just between us." Ed whispered in reply, kissing her again.

OOOOh! Dirty little secrets! Don't you just love them? RIIIIIGHT?
