Disclaimer: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist, nor am I making any money from the writing of this drabble…

Warnings/Notes/Rating: Light M. Yaoi. Weird/rarer pairing (Ed/Ling). Implied Al/Winry. Some humor and a tiny bit of fluffiness. AU-ish. Ed contemplates his innocence and what the people he loves have to do with that as he lies awake holding his lover. This was written earlier this year in the Valentine's day 2014 themed drabble wars session with Saku…although there really isn't anything Valentine's day-ish about this drabble… Enjoy…

Saku's drabblewars prompt:
"Ed/Whoever- "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh/I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies." Ed has never had much in life, but lying here in bed, next to the other warm body- he feels richer then he can ever imagine.
Prompt came from this interpretation of the lyrics above "Lorde depicts her lifestyle as being very basic, she has never seen things which are luxurious such as diamonds. The only reason she knows about these things is because of their prominence in popular cultural in movies. Lorde has only seen these things through a silver screen. Lorde cutting her teeth is used in this case to reveal that Lorde is just getting to the grips of this idea. Lorde has only been introduced to the ideas of materialism in the movies — without these she never would have known about diamonds and the greed they symbolise"
The second part is just kinda a background to the lyrics, you don't hafta include that part"

Say my name,
and every color illuminates
we are shining

—Florence & the Machine, "Spectrum"


He's been informed recently, "You innocent thing!" And then laughed at…mercilessly...by people who professed to love him. How the hell was he supposed to know you could, you know, have sex that way. To be taken from behind...and have it feel so…good. Well he didn't know!

Jeesh. Winry and Ling were so mean to him and they even got Al in on it. Laughing and mocking his "innocence" (and since when did Al know about anal sex? By the gods he hoped he wasn't doing that with Winry)…

Ling groaned in his sleep beside Ed and curled up tighter against the side of him that wasn't pure automail. Ed couldn't help the shivers that ran through him at the heated naked flesh that pressed against his own, his breath catching. Flashes of their earlier activities coursed unbidden through his mind…how he begged and pleaded… "More." "Harder." "Oh gods…" Hitting unimaginable heights filled with explosions and nebulous spaces in between… you don't remember you're breaking to breathe… so far intertwined with another body and soul… no thinking… no anything but being there in the moment with him. With Ling.

He didn't give a damn if he was some "innocent thing" because he wasn't innocent anymore, and he was glad of it. If being innocent meant never knowing that he could be with Ling and having such manner of pleasure, then he never wanted to be innocent again.

If only they'd stop laughing at them!

"Ed," Ling growled/groaned in his sleep and moved against Ed, causing Ed to turn red…
