This one-shot is my rebellion against chapter 104. I don't like where that chapter went and I'm pulling for some awesome comeback, but right this second, I'm not liking it AT ALL.

So you get some wonderful AlMei fluff. Because we need happiness right now. Slight spoilers for chapters 100-104.

Al groaned and blinked rapidly before pushing himself into a sitting position. Going through the Gate really messed with one's equilibrium, and Al was very glad he hadn't eaten anything in a couple of years- his stomach felt like it was about to explode.

The blond ran a hand over his face and glanced around, reveling in the feeling of being back in his body. It was an amazing feeling, even though he was stuck underground in the lair of a crazy alchemist ready to destroy the country.

When he had been sent to the Gate and confronted with the chance to go back, he had been torn. Getting his body back was something he wanted almost more than anything, but they were in the middle of a fight and his body was obviously incapable of fighting. But then he had seen the look on his body's face when he had initially refused, and, well…

He caved.

And now here he was, back in the flesh.

"Alphonse-sama!"

The screech came from behind him and Al glanced over his shoulder. A clump of hair blocked his hair for a moment and he pushed it out of the way. With the hair out of his vision, he could see Mei was a couple of feet away, running full-pelt at him, with Xiao Mei on her heels.

Al grinned and turned all the way around. "Mei!"

The Xingese girl took a couple of steps closer then slammed to a halt. They stared at each other before Mei's face went bright red and she covered her face with her hands and pointedly turned the other way.

Al frowned. Sure, he was thin from years of being stuck in the Gate, but really, it wasn't that bad.

Was it?

Maybe there's something wrong. Like I have an extra foot or something. The thought was alarming and Al instantly looked down for the first time since getting his body back.

Al felt his face flush and made a strangled squawking sound.

He was naked. And Mei had seen it.

She had seen everything.

The boy glanced around, and seeing the armor a couple of feet away, made a grab for the loincloth. It was too big for him and he had to tie the strings tighter to cover everything, but it was still better than nothing.

"Um, Mei?"

She glanced over her shoulder hesitantly, and then, seeing that Al was covered, turned all the way around. The two stood of them in silence for a moment, both too embarrassed about the recent events to really say much of anything.

Then Mei gave a small smile. "You were right, Alphonse-sama. You are more handsome than your brother."

Al rubbed the back of his neck before smirking. "I'm bigger, too."

Hooray sexual innuendo! Pervy-ness seems to be an Elric thing...

And that wasn't a hint of Elricest- Al knows how big Ed is after his brother decided to storm out of the shower butt-naked. (And Xiao Mei was in the way and the fangirls couldn't see! -shakes fist-) But anyway, have some happy fluff.
