Color Theorem

Summary: For someone who managed to become a State Alchemist at the age of 12, Ed sure was dense. A color collection for Fullmetal Alchemists golden couple, Ed and Winry!
Authors Note: I'd like to safely note that this color prompt is actually a festival of colors celebrated in India. I know its not a color but I wanted to finish this off with a bang so I decided to use that instead of the color I had in mind. I think it fits, its certainly a celebration because now Ed and Winry are CANON!

Celebrate indeed.

Disclaimer: If I owned Fullmetal Alchemist, it wouldn't have ended! -cries-

Story Warnings: Okay, if you haven't read chapter 108 of Fullmetal Alchemist, don't read the following one-shot unless you want to get seriously spoiled. But I doubt it'll matter, everyone probably knows how it ended...

030: Holi

"Oh, no—Alphonse! Please get Maes before he wonders outside!" Winry fretted, holding her newborn baby in her arms. She struggled to calm him as he bawled. "Shh, it's okay Andrew, please don't cry..." She bounced him in her arms, patting his back and wincing when the baby only cried harder. "Ed! Ed, get over here!"

"Wha'?" He called, poking his head around the corner; a piece of bread in his mouth.

"Come over here and help me out with your son!" She shouted, groaning when Andrew cried harder at her tone. "I'm not yelling at you, my little angle, it's your idiot father who's annoying me..." Winry cooed, sighing in relief when he calmed down just a little bit.

"Winry, I've got Mae—whoa!" Al laughed when Maes flung himself over his shoulder, laughing as his uncle ruffled his hair. He stood up from his kneeling position, Maes thrown over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"Let me assist you, Winry," Mei offered, walking toward her and making funny faces at the newborn. The baby's cries slowly became hiccups of laughs when he noticed the ridiculous faces. Edward was walking toward her as well, still munching on a piece of bread.

"Here, let me handle him," Ed took the baby from Winry, who rubbed her sore arms in response. "Come on, why are you crying? Elric's don't cry!" Ed smiled, holding the child above his head. The baby blinked back at him owlishly, as Ed grinned broadly and bounced him in the air. Eventually, Andrew gurgled a giggle, causing Ed to shoot a grin of triumph at Winry, who merely rolled her eyes in response.

"Give him here before you drop him," Winry said, apprensive since her baby was being tossed up and down in the air. She really didn't trust Ed with a baby yet...

"Drop him? He's my kid, I won't drop him!" Ed argued, holding the baby to his chest protectively. "Besides, he wants to stay with me." Ed glanced down at Andrew, who looked a little sleepy. "You want to stay with daddy, right, Andrew?"

He only yawned in response.

Winry chuckled heartily at Ed's scowl.

"He says yes," Ed mumbled, rubbing his little boys back.

"DADDY! DADDYYY!" Maes screamed, reaching his arms for Ed when he caught sight of him. Edward looked a little torn. He eventually gave up Andrew to Winry with a small pout, who held him carefully as the small child looked around in curiosity; sleepiness gone with the sudden ruckus.

"They look so alike," Mei laughed, standing beside Alphonse, who grinned proudly.

"He'll grow up to be exactly like his father," Al nodded. "He's a splitting image of him as it is."

Maes and Edward both looked at him, bearing the exact same expression of confusion at their words that caused Mei and Al to burst into gleeful giggles. Mei rested against Al, who wrapped an arm around her waist.

Winry stuck a pacifier into Andrew's mouth when he looked like he was about to cry again.

When she wasn't looking, Andrew took it out and dropped it to the ground.

"Oh, Alphonse!" Mei suddenly spoke up. "We both should go visit my lord Ling for the summer! He would to love to see the new addition to the Elric family—"

Al released her and pointed toward Pinako, who stood holding a camera in her wrinkly hands. The photographer was rummaging through his bag but Pinako wasted no time in grabbing his camera and aiming it at them. They were suppose to take a family picture but the photographer had come early and they had yet to change into more appropiate clothes.

Pinako smirked, as Ed and Winry also caught sight of the camera.

"Granny, what are you doing?" Winry blinked.

Ed scrambled beside her, whispering: "Smile, Win."

"Everyone look here!" Pinako took the picture.

Ed held his eldest up for all to see, grinning so badly that if he grinned anymore his face would split in half. Winry smiled in pleasant surprise, her hand on Andrew's back as the little boy looked to the camera curiously. Al was looking straight at the camera, hands at his hips, happiness written on his face.

The shot revealed Mei with her hand out to animate her idea, an equally happy smile on her face.

"We should take it again," Mei whined, her cheeks pink as Al gazed at the picture a few hours later. "I wasn't ready and—"

"It's perfect," Al said softly, looking up with a warm smile. Mei parted her lips to say something but the words caught in her throat. She instead offered a brilliant smile, lunging at him and hooking her arm around his neck. Al laughed, catching her and burying his face into her hair.

"I'll take that now!" Ed plucked the picture from his hands.

He showed it to Winry, who peered at it with sparkling eyes. "Haha, look at us...a real family." She looked up at Ed, who had Maes sitting on his shoulders. The little boy laughed cheerfully, fisting his fathers hair and pulling it out with vigor. She saw Ed wince but he did nothing to stop the boy from having his fun.

"Yeah, a real family..." Ed murmured, his eyes going soft. He patted Andrew on the head, then softly cupped Winry's cheek. "We're finally a family..."

Winry only nodded, her face lighting up as his lips descended upon hers.
