Chapter 3: December 25th part 1

Ed awoke as his mattress was shifting and somebody climbed into his bed. The person pulled several times on his long blond hair. He turned around to look into the sky-blue eyes of Elicia.

"So you're awake, onii-chan." Ed growled.

"Actually you woke me up." He turned fully around so he was now lying on his back rubbing his sleepy eyes. "What time is it?" He looked out of the window to find out that it was still night.

"Dunno. But Santa Claus was there, onii-chan." She shoved him a doll with a pink dress into his face. "Say hello to Dolly." Ed sighed and sat up.

"Hello Dolly." He got out of his bed to look at his pocket watch. It read 5 in the morning. Ed rolled his eyes. Kids and their ability to wake you at the wrong time. He got back into his bed where Elicia was cuddling with her new doll.

"Elicia. How about that: You can stay with Al and me in our room and sleep a bit longer."

"But Al-nii-chan is down in the hall, too." Ed was stunned by this comment. His 8-year-old brother, who didn't believe in Santa Claus anymore, was up in the middle of the night to unpack his presents.

"So Al is down there?" The small girl nodded.

"Onee-chan, too." Ed blushed. His girlfriend – he still had to get accustomed to this thought – was down there, too.

"Is there anybody else there?" He didn't want to meet any of the adults. He was still embarrassed from last night.

---Flashback----

"So how was your first kiss, shrimp?" Ed was so taken aback by the question that he even forgot to comment to the short-comment. The teenagers were as red as a human being could be. First this photo-obsessed guy making a photo of their first kiss and than the others knew it, too, beside Al and Elicia who felt asleep after decorating the tree. Ed opened his mouth but as nothing came out he closed it again.

"So you're still speechless? Must have been great." Ed clenched his fists until his knuckles went white and shoot Havoc a glare.

"You… you! How dare you?" Winry sat next to him her head bowed, still too embarrassed to say anything.

"Oh come on, Kid. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone get's his first kiss, some sooner, some later." Breda tried to calm the boy but failed miserably and got a heated glare as well. Falman and Fuery didn't say anything. Roy just listened to the conversation, glad that he wasn't the one they teased and somewhat proud that his son had kissed the first time.

"Oh young Edward, Miss Winry. A young love like yours is so beautiful and my family and I are so happy that you sealed your love in our small house." Alex tried to hug them but Winry and Ed escaped the larger than live man who was sparkling all over his face and tears of happiness running down his cheeks.

"Don't you think that it is enough?" Riza's firm but warm voice stopped the chatting and teasing. They looked at her and Ed let out a breath of relief. He knew that the one person his father's staff members as well as Hughes and Roy feared was his Mom. She walked to the teenagers and stroked Ed over his hair. "You should go to bed. It's late." The teenagers nodded and left the room as fast as they could, taking the younger kids with them. As she was sure the kids were far away she closed the door and turned around giving Hughes a glance.

"You saw them, didn't you?" The man nodded and gulped. "And you have taken a photo?" She slowly approached the man like a hungry animal. He swallowed harder as she sat next to him smiling suddenly. "Thanyou can tell us everything and don't leave anything out!" He swallowed and nodded, the others coming nearer to listen to the story Hughes was about to tell.

---Flashback end----

Elicia shook her head.

"There are just Onee-chan and Al-nii-chan." Ed nodded and got from his bed signalling the girl that she should follow him. She took his hand and together they walked quietly to the hallway where the Christmas tree was illuminated. Al and Winry were in their pyjamas sitting in front of the tree, looking at it as Ed and Elicia sat next to them.

"Good morning." Ed smiled to Winy taking her hand.

"Morning. Couldn't sleep and you?" She looked at him blushing. The boy scratched his head.

"Actually a small blond devil and her doll woke me up." The teenage-girl snickered, squeezing his hand.

"I think that was supposed to be happening as Al sent her to you." Ed looked at her than his little brother who was fascinated by the book he got for Christmas, reading it already. He sighed heavily.

"I'm sorry." The boy stated looking at the tree and the mistletoe hanging from one particular brunch.

"What for?" She leaned at his shoulder closing her eyes.

"For what these jerks did last night."

"You don't have to. I… I think it was nice." Ed looked at her questionably.

"That they were teasing us?" She gave him a look and rolled her eyes.

"No. The kiss you idiot." The teenagers blushed to her statement. It was silent for a moment both waiting for a comment from the younger kids. But nothing came as the two children were in their own worlds – Al reading his book and Elicia playing with her new doll. Winry leaned on his shoulder again with his head leaning on hers. Ed closed his eyes, too.

"I think it was nice, too."

A few hours later the house became lively as the staff prepared the breakfast and the Armstrong family and their guests woke up starting their day. After Breakfast the children went back to their rooms and changed into something more festive. Ed was wearing black pants, a white dress shirt with a dark red slipover. He was about to get his black tie on as Roy came into the room.

"Should I help you with that?" He gestured to the tie in Ed's hand. The boy nodded still pissed at his father. "Still angry?" Roy sighed and bound the tie. Ed didn't look at him. As his father was done with it Ed put the tie under his slipover.

"You could have said something as Mom did." The teenage boy stated. Roy looked at him and smiled to himself. If you would know what your mother did after you were gone… Ed took his comb and brushed his hair.

"They don't listen to me in the holidays, if you haven't recognised it yet." He sighed, one hand in his pocket.

"But you could have tried it." Ed took the black hair tie from his night stand and put his hair in a low ponytail. As he was done he went to his door as his father gripped his arm holding him back.

"I'm sorry." He looked serious and honest. Ed sighed.

"You better be." He took the handle. "And I hope the others will apologize as well." He shot his father a glare and left the room, leaving Roy with his "Christmas Mission". Great! Now it's all my fault and I have to convince those guys to apologise to a teenage boy. He sighed heavily and left the room closing it behind him.

AN.: So this was part one. I hope I get part two done until tomorrow. Yay! The 6th of December… St. Nicolas' day!! Don't forget to review
