His heart pounded as he ran through Liore, kicking up dust as he went. He couldn't believe he was actually back in Liore, he couldn't believe that he might actually see her again.

Such a lovable and cute girl, he had thought so the second he had laid eyes on her. Her silky hair, soft eyes, gentle smile... he sighed, thinking of her beauty. But it wasn't just her beauty that had him wrapped around her finger. It was her kindness towards others, her compassionate way of thinking.

A small shop loomed in front of him and the shopkeeper waved a bouquet of flowers towards him. Skidding to a halt, he stared, breathless, at the one flower that shone with the most beauty. A single, blood red rose lay on a shelf, abandoned and forgotten. He picked it up, his fingers caressing the velvety petals. "Please, I would like to buy this." He paid the shopkeeper and ran away, he was headed towards the town square. She had always stopped by to talk to the various shopkeepers, and he was hoping he might run into her.

He stopped in the very middle of the square, doubling over because he was out of breath. When he looked up, his breath caught in his throat. There she was, carrying a bag of fruit, a few small children running in circles around her. She smiled, and he felt his heart get faster. Creeping up behind her, he grinned, he knew that she wouldn't recognize him; she'd probably throw fruit at him thinking he was a stalker of some kind. He grabbed her waist and turned her around to face him. "Rose." He uttered the word as though it was divine.

Rose looked up into his eyes, and gasped. She raised a hand and laid it on his cheek, her eyes glistening with tears. "Alphonse? How... your body... How did you get it back?"

Al grinned and held her a little closer. "Nii-san. He got my body back. But, how did you know it was me?"

Rose laid her head on his chest and sighed. "Your voice, it's the same. And... there was something in your eyes that told me it was you."

He pushed her away a little and presented the rose to her. "Here, for you. A beautiful rose... for a gorgeous Rose."

I've always thought that Al and Rose would make like, the most adorable couple ever. And so this little fic popped into my head and the evil pink plot bunny wouldn't let me go to sleep till I wrote it.

... So I wrote it. XD Comments anyone?
