"Roy, wake up." Ed nudged the man softly, waking him from his sleep.

"What is it?" Roy blinked a few times and looked at the boy, who was staring out the window. It was still dark and the moon was reflecting in his amber eyes, and he turned to look.

Ed was sitting so that he was facing the window beside their bed. His eyes were shining brightly and he was pointing out the window with glee. "Look Roy…shooting stars." Ed smiled, "I woke up, and then, all of a sudden--"

"They're beautiful." He sleepily shut his eyes, until an idea popped into his head. Roy's eyes lit up. "You wanna go outside?"

"Um…" Ed looked around the room as if he was trying to see if anyone was listening. "Yeah…yeah I do." He jumped out of bed and pulled some pants and a shirt on hastily, telling Roy to do the same. He ran to the linen closet and grabbed a big blanket, the one they often used for picnics.

"C'mon. Let's go outside before the stars stop." Roy whispered to Ed, taking his hand and guiding him through the house.

They made their way outside, and found a good spot in the grass to sit together, and they spread out the blanket. It wasn't as cold as they thought it would be, and Edward was pleasantly surprised.

The younger man stretched out across the blanket, laying right next to Roy. "You can't see things like this out in the city." Ed said quietly as he gazed up at the stars.

"That's true." Roy looked over at him and smiled at his enthusiasm. "There's a lot of beautiful things out here, and soon, we'll be able to live out here and watch the stars every night if we want to." Roy scooted over to Ed a little.

"But can we really live together?" Ed asked, looking up into the colonel's eyes.

The mere sight of every star in the sky reflected into the amber orbs that were staring at him made Roy's heart swell. He couldn't resist leaning down and kissing the blonde softly.

"Of course." He answered.

"But I can't cook." Ed smirked.

"I can teach you." Roy laughed and wrapped his arm around the blonde happily.

"Roy, can I ask you something?" Ed asked quietly, looking up at him meekly.

"Anything." Roy looked down at him seriously, smiling a little.

"Are we, I mean, are we going to--" Ed sighed, taking a deep breath. "Are we going to spend the rest of our lives with each other?" Ed dared to look at the man next to him, and when he did, he was surprised to see tears at the corners of his eyes.

"I hope so. Will you?" Roy asked, his voice shaking a little.

"Will I what?" Ed asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Will you spend the rest of your life with me?" Roy looked at the boy and leaned down to kiss him again. This time, Roy pulled away and saw tears in the blonde's eyes.

"Of course I will Roy, of course." Ed threw his arms around the older man's neck and knocked him over with his embrace. Realizing that he was on top of the man made his heart speed up and the crotch of his pants tighten. He leaned down, breathing on the colonel's mouth. Their lips met again, and Roy's grip on the boy tightened. They kissed over and over, until Edward pulled away and smiled sheepishly.

"Does that mean you're asking me to marry you?" Ed grinned widely, laying down atop the man and snuggling against his shoulder.

"I guess so. Yes. Yes it does." Roy surprised the boy by rolling over, making Ed on the bottom. "Will you marry me, Edward Elric?" Roy asked, threading his fingers through Ed's long golden locks.

"Yes, Roy. Yes I will." Ed's fingers playfully grabbed Roy's hair and pulled him into another kiss. This kiss though, for some reason, was so different from any other they had ever had; more meaningful. Ed's heartbeat sped up, and Roy must've noticed, because he delved down to kiss the boy's neck and face, spurring moans and gasps. When Roy pulled away, Ed made a small sound of disappointment.

"Ed, I want to tell you something." Roy smiled, a blush creeping through his cheeks.

"What is it?" Ed asked, almost feeling the colonel's embarrassment.

Roy sat up and took Ed's hand in his own. He looked down at the ground for a moment before looking back up at Edward with a seriousness in his eyes that almost matched the day he first kissed him. The colonel scooted a little closer to the blonde and cupped his chin in his palm. "I love you Edward. I've loved you for such a long time…I love you." When he noticed that his words made the boy's eyes fill with tears, he quickly apologized. "I'm sorry for making you cry all the time too." He forced out a nervous laugh.

"No, it's okay." Ed smiled and wiped his tears away with his sleeve. "I cry mostly because I'm happy. And Roy?" Ed took a deep breath and swallowed hard.

"I love you too." He said, surprised at how easy they came out now. Before he could barely say it, and now, it rolled off his tongue. They were words he had never said before, and they scared and made him feel completely comfortable at the same time.

"Oh Edward." Roy kissed him over and over, repeating his last sentence in-between kisses.

The next two hours were something of a blissful, strange blur. Something painful, something sweet, and mixed together, they formed something beautiful and wonderful and terrifying. Roy was Ed's ; Ed was Roy's. They belonged to each other now, and nothing would change that.

Too tired to go back in the house, they wrapped up in the slightly soiled blanket and curled up against each other, falling asleep to the sound of each other's breathing. If there was ever a moment in time that Edward Elric was sincerely content with everything around him, it would've been that night. The physical pain was engulfed in ecstasies derived from his love for the colonel, and everything seemed to settle in place, like the snow in a snow globe after it's been shook. Everything fell gently into it's place and the two lovers slept peacefully into the morning.

I know this was short, and I'm apologizing for that. But look what happened! Ed said he loved the colonel!;-; It's touching, really. And they did it. Bam. Just like that. That was probably the most nondescript lemon I've ever written, and I've written a lot. There will be another one, I promise. (As if you guys are looking forward to it. XD) So please enjoy my clean stories as long as possible…Because my writing is usually very…um…questionable.

Anywho, see you guys next chapter! Stay safe and be happy!
