One year later.

Edward was rushing home. Running in the harsh rain. Dammit he was late! What could he ever do to apologize correctly? He could invent an excuse but he knew it wouldn't be enough. He had to say the truth. So he was running late at night in the pouring rain, trying to get home as fast as he could without slipping on the wet ground. Why did he live so fucking far away?! He should really save some money to get a car! He saw the mansion on the horizon and started running faster. He finally came inside and went to his quarters. He smelled food but ignored it. Dammit he was late! He saw the dark-haired man and jumped on his back to hug him from behind, which made the man jump.

``What the hell Edward?! ``

``I'm so sorry I'm late! I was supposed to cook for you! I'm sorryyyyyy! ``

Roy sighed.

``Would you please get off of me? You're making a mess of the floor and my clothes. ``

Edward pouted a bit while stopping to hug him and went to hang his coat.

``I was supposed to make supper though… ``

``And you're late so I'm making it. ``

``But…! ``

``Edward, you make me food every day of the year, I can do it just for tonight. ``

``But it's a special day today! ``

``I don't care. ``

The blond pouted again. He then went upstairs to change into fresh dry clothes and came back down, giving a kiss on Roy's cheek.

``So, why were you late on our first anniversary? `` Asked Roy, his eyes still on the meal he was preparing.

``Um… A kid needed help with an array… And I got carried away, explaining him the different arrays in an alchemic circle… ``

``Always so passionate about alchemy. ``

``Always! Even more so now that I'm a teacher and I can talk and teach about what I have learned! ``

Edward had a big smile on his face just talking about it. Finally, he found something he really enjoyed and that made Roy smile in return. Havoc did have a good idea when saying Edward should be a teacher.

``I forgive you then. `` Simply said Mustang.

``You do? ``

``Yes. Training the young minds is better than having a supper with your loved one. ``

Edward pouted at his remark. Damn, he was still mad even though he didn't let it show. The second Roy stopped the oven, Edward took his hand to pull him in his embrace and he kissed him softly, making Roy moan in surprise. Roy finally gave up and passed his arms around the blond to deepen the kiss. They didn't kiss long as they didn't want to burn the supper or let it run cold since the oven was turned off. Roy prepared two plates and they sat one in front of the other, starting to eat while sipping on some champagne to celebrate their one-year anniversary. They didn't really have a date for their couple but they decided it would be the day Roy woke up from the hospital because why not. They couldn't take an earlier date since at the time, Edward wasn't sure about his feelings for Roy.

Edward continued to eat and stared blankly at Roy's little round ears on the top of his head. Being a chimera didn't change the man. Edward was happy for that but Roy still hid it from everyone. At least the ears were black as his hair so he could just clip them to his hair, making them look like more hair and when he didn't have the time, just shove a military hat on his head. The tail was easier to hide, he could just hide it in his pants and be sure to not move it an inch. Roy took a sip of champagne and looked at the golden eyes in front of him.

``Did you get some news from your brother? `` Asked the now chimera.

``Oh yeah! I received a letter this afternoon! May is pregnant! `` Said the blond, smiling widely.

Roy smiled too at those words. He really only wanted the little brother to be happy and have a good life after all the hell he had been through.

``What about your mechanic? ``

``Winry? Oh… Well she found another man. I never saw him though. She met him when she moved out in Rush Valley. Apparently, he has automail on both his arms and his legs. ``

``She must have fun doing maintenance on him. ``

Edward laughed a little. They continued to talk for a long while. Talking about the people around Roy's office too. Havoc getting a new girlfriend again. Hawkeye still being single and not wanting a relationship. Work came first. Breda and Fuery finally finding apartments on their own in Central and looking forward on dating. Maybe even have families. Then Edward started talking about his job as a teacher. That fire lighting his eyes even brighter than ever before as he talked about something he was so passionate about. Roy could ignore every word he said and just stare at those two pools of molten gold. That fire burning in them was so pretty. Gorgeous even.

They finished eating after a long while and Edward was about to get up to put the dishes away but Roy put a hand on his thigh to make him stay there.

``I'll take care of it, just keep appreciating the champagne… ``

Edward smiled while taking his glass and Roy went to put the dirty plates in the sink. His heart started racing in his chest and his tail was beating the air behind him. He was about to do something big. Something he thought he would've never done. And that stressed him out. Almost made him out of breath. He had to compose himself before anything more happened. He took a deep breath and turned to look at Edward who was had gotten up and was now sitting in the living room. The two glasses sitting on the living room table with the bottle and he was staring at them, a bit lost in his thoughts. Just seeing the blond made his doubts go away and never coming back. His feline ears went up and he then approached the blond and kneeled in front of him. Edward widened his eyes while looking at him. He knew what was coming up.

``Edward. I love you. Will you… `` He reached in his pocket and got a ring out of it. It was a pretty golden with a lot of details on it, just like the necklace Edward had given him on his birthday. ``Marry me? ``

Edward stared at him. Mouth open wide. His golden eyes too. Not saying anything. Why didn't he say anything? Fear began to creep up in Roy's heart as his ears got down on his head, showing his worry.

``Edward? ``

Edward still didn't answer and pulled out something from his own pocket. A little box and he opened it. A ring was sitting there. Golden with a lot of details embedded in it. It was the same as Roy got him! Then Edward spoke softly.

``Dammit Roy… I wanted to do it first… ``

Mustang finally smiled and pulled Edward to kiss him sweetly. Edward wrapped his arms around Roy's neck, loosing himself to those lips. Those soft and comforting lips. Roy pulled back before he got himself too carried away and took Edward's hand to put the ring on his finger. Edward smiled while looking at his hand and began to talk.

``Not even getting the ring in a box. Just telling me you love me and then whipping out the ring. You're pathetic, you couldn't even think of something else to say? ``

``I… I was so stressed… I forgot all that I wanted to say… ``

Edward couldn't help himself and laughed at Roy's confession. He then took the ring out of its box and put it on Roy's finger.

They had matching rings. And it was beautiful. Roy then took Edward's hand in his and pulled him up to go to their bedroom. He was going to give him a heated night and Edward almost trembled thinking about it.

END

Short and sweet, I know. I wanted to add things in this ending but I couldn't find anything, that's why it took such a long time before posting it and franckly, I'm happy with this ending.
