�Yes.�
�You�re giving a present to your cat?�
�No! Ugh, you�re so thick.� Al pouted and Ed just rolled his eyes.
�Who else would give you a can of sardines on valentine�s day?�
�You, you moron!� Al shouted and Ed just stared. There was an awkward silence and Al just mumbled something to himself, taking another bite out of his candy. Ed finished his staring with a few blinks and then he laughed a little, going back to selecting his sweets.
�Good one Al, I almost fell for that.� Ed laughed again and Al just furrowed his brow, grabbing the suitcase and shutting the lid. Ed jumped at the sudden action and Al just stared at him angrily.
�You don�t remember, do you?� he asked and Ed just blankly looked at his brother.
�Uh...no. Not really.� he mumbled and Al sighed heavily, crossing his legs on the stone.
�Well, then I�ll just have to remind you. Remember when we got Winry�s stuff in the mail and we put it on the table when we went to call her?� he asked and Ed just nodded slowly, yes, he remembered that. �Then when we got back Fluffy had jumped up there and eaten some of the chocolates?� Ed nodded a little bit more forcefully, the story clicking in his brain. �Then we ran around trying to find a vet�s office in the rain? Poor Fluffy was so sick, and when we finally found one they had to pump her stomach?� Oh yeah, Ed remembered all of this now. The stupid calico had cost him about half of his life savings. �And when we were waiting for her to get out of surgery you gave me that can of sardines to give to Fluffy when she came out.� Al looked like he was on the verge of tears and Ed just nodded vigorously.
�I remember all of that now Al, there�s no need to get upset.� Al nodded slowly and the blonde just sighed. �It was just a can of smelly fish, and they were for your dumb cat, not you.�
�There was more to it then them just being smelly fish! You gave that to me to give to Fluffy because you cared about me. You knew how upset I was and you gave me that to cheer me up.� Ed just shrugged and Al lifted his foot up and kicked him in the arm, Ed yelping and almost falling into the fountain. �You�re so dumb! You�re not even worth worrying about!� Al kicked him again, this time in the stomach and hard enough to send the alchemist into the fountain. Al jumped with surprise as Ed went tumbling into the water, some of the liquid flying out and hitting the tan haired boy as well. �Oh no!� Al squealed as he got onto his knees and watched as Ed jolted out of the water, cursing and spitting liquid out of his mouth. �I'm so sorry Nii-San, I didn�t mean to knock you into the fountain, really!�
�Can you just help me out?� Ed growled and Al nodded, leaning in and grabbing his brother�s hand, pulling him out of the water and back onto the fountain's edge. �Aw great, now I�m all wet and Winry�s gonna be here soon, and, argh! Why�d you kick me like that?!� Ed shouted, the whole square staring at the two. Al just sighed and grabbed the hood of Ed�s trench coat, pulling it off and wringing it out over the fountain. �Well?� Ed demanded and Al just looked at him sadly.
�Because you�re so stupid.� Al quietly mumbled and then he placed his hand under Ed�s chin, lifting the boy�s face up and pressing their lips together. Ed attempted to pull away at first, considering they were surrounded by people and Al had quite vocally called him �Nii-San� earlier, but he remained where he was none the less. Al pulled away after a short amount of time, Ed just staring up at him repentantly.
�I�m sorry that I�m stupid.� Ed pouted and Al just smiled, wrapping his arms around his older brother and hugging him. Ed was practically lifted off of the ground as Al pulled him up to kiss the top of his head, the smaller alchemist only laughing. �All right, put me down, you�ve had your fun.� Ed wriggled a bit and Al just did as he was told, Ed landing on his feet with a little bit of a clanking noise. The two looked to see that everyone in the square was staring at them, but once they made eye contact the crowd dispersed. �What a great impression we�ve made here.� Ed snorted and Al just shrugged, returning to the fountain and motioning for Ed to sit down. The blonde cocked an eyebrow but sat down anyway, only to have Al undo his braid. Ed was about to question his younger brother as to what the big idea was, only to realize that he was re-braiding the hair. �Why are you doing that?� Ed asked and Al just continued with his activity.
�Your hair�s all wet, and I�m sure that you want to look nice for Winry.� Al explained and Ed nonchalantly moved his shoulders in agreement. When he was done Ed shook his head a bit, letting his bangs fall out of the new braid. Once he was done with that he grabbed his suitcase once more, opening it and grabbing the first chocolate that he saw.
�I think that this is good.� Ed held the box up and Al nodded. �After all, she did give me motor oil for valentine�s day.� he mumbled and Al laughed, lying down on the fountain with his arms crossed behind his head. Ed was about to address the issue of Al�s gift for him, but as he moved his head to talk he noticed his reflection in the water beneath him. Instead of his usual red elastic, there was a fairly long white ribbon holding his hair in place. He smiled and then looked to see that Al had his eyes closed and appeared to be asleep. The blonde got on his knees then and crawled over to his little brother, sitting between the boy�s legs and grabbing his knees. This startled Al awake, but before he could even register what had rudely woken him up he felt Ed�s soft lips on his own once more. There was no excitement or climax to the kiss he received, just a feeling of soft, pure love. Ed pulled away and smiled, looking down at the tan haired boy happily. He wanted to say something, but there really was nothing he could say. Thanking him would sound juvenile and something witty would seem a little inapt, so instead, he just lay down with him. Al gave him a jovial expression and just started to play with his bangs, completely ignorant to the fact that they were still on a fountain in the middle of the town square.

Oh ho ho, look at that. I can do one-shots (well, I can finish one at least, not write them). But it was too cute. Made me sick *bleh* Oh! And incase you�ve never heard of the white ribbon thing (it was in volume 3 of DNAngel, and it said in the manga that it wasn�t a real tradition, so, I�ll explain) supposedly if a boy gives you a white ribbon and ties it in your hair it�s a symbol that you�ll love will last forevah~I�m making myself sick again from the fluff. It�s like cotton candy on steroids x__x
