Summary: Al reflects on what being home truly means...

Home.

It wasn't a location for Al.

Maybe it had been at one time, but not anymore.

It wasn't a structure, nor was it where his clothes hung or where his books rested. It wasn't where the mail was delivered or where he slept at night.

Home was none of that to Al, it was infinitely more.

Home was in Ed's arms as they wound around him in an embrace that was as gentle as it was strong. Home was that feeling he got when Ed looked at him in the early morning light right before he kissed him good morning. Home was how he melted against his soul mate when his lips pressed against that spot on his neck that Ed could manage to find in a pitch black room.

Home was that happily sated feeling he had as he drifted off to sleep, his body sore in all the right places for all the right reasons.

Home was Ed… and as long as Al was at Ed's side he'd feel at home forever.
