(Y/n)'s POV

"Wake up! Wake up!" Chloe yelled, as I crawled further into the blankets.

"Five more minutes, school starts in like.... an hour."

"It's not school, dummy! It's your wedding day!" She said, hitting me with a pillow. I jumped up from out of bed, out of pure excitement and nervousness.

"We should get you ready now! This starts in four hours!" She yelled, grabbing my hand and shoving me down the stairs.

"How long does this take to get ready? Am I really getting my makeup and shit done in more than five minutes?" I said, as she shoved a piece of bread into the toaster, and got out butter.

"Yep. And you're going to need to eat less to get into that wedding gown.~" She said, poking at my stomach.

"Shut up!"

It's been about four years now, I'm 22 and about to get married, so I'm panicking. Not to mention that, but I haven't seen Alphonse in about a year, but we talked on the phone last night, since he was coming over to my town for the wedding, but at a different place.

We're getting married in my back yard, well, our backyard. I spent a summer with a group of people helping renovate the house so we could live in it again. In the other months, I'm usually at central with Roy and the others. We always joke how everyone went off to do better things and we've been stuck here for years on end.

When I got into a fight a few years back, Alphonse called me a few weeks later, since that, he's called me once a week at the same time, but I'm never at one place so he calls a bunch of people first.

Things have been rough at times, we got into a fight because I broke my arm a while back, and he thought it was to dangerous so we stopped talking for a few days. I was a mess, but, he came home a day later and we just spent the whole day apologizing.

Other than that, everyone is coming for today, I mean everyone! My friends at the military, Izumi, Mrs. Maes and Elicia, we even got Ling from Shing! It's basically a reunion.

"Eat up!" She said, handing me the piece of toast. "You'll probably eat more later." She said, getting things ready for today. I hear a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I said, eating on my toast.

"It's Winry!" She said, barging through the door. She had an artillery of supplies, makeup, tools, and more.

"Now, lets get you glowing!"


Hours of yelling later, arguing about makeup, trying to walk in heals (even though they're a few inches) I finally was ready in my dress, and was going over to the house.

When I got there, I see the memories of my childhood, the running up the stairs, waiting for my mom to finish dinner, and going down the stairs in a laundry basket. I walk up the stairs, sitting in my room as I talk to Winry and Chloe.

"It starts in about... 30 minutes. You have time to kill." She said, leaning back in her (f/c) colored dress.

"I'm to nervous.." I said, fiddling my thumbs and looking at my white dress.

"Nonsense, I mean, look at you! You're stunning!" She said, fixing a part of my hair. "Besides, it's a beautiful dress."





I folded my hands in my lap, as I fiddled my thumbs. I then hear a knock on the door.

"It's Roy!" He said, letting himself in, he smiled. "You look beautiful, (Y/n). I wish your father was here to see you."

I smiled, and looked up at him. "Well, I'm still happy it was you. You would've been my second choice.

"Second place. Not half bad." He snickered, I punched him in the arm.

"You know what I mean! You've been like a father for me when I lost my own. If it wasn't for you, I'd be living off the streets still, and not getting married. So, thank you." I said, as I stood up and hugged him.

"Thanks, kid. Now, let's get you downstairs, it's about to start." He said, with a smile on his face he pulled away from the hug. "I would touch your hair, but I don't want to mess it up." He said, laughing.

"I'd break your arm if you did." I chuckled, opening the door as I heard the music play. I stand behind Winry and Ed, who are both happily married as their daughter, Nina, walks down the isle as the flower girl. I watch as my friends walk forward, a pit in my stomach becoming more apparent as the music keeps on.

"You'll do great." Roy whispered, as Chloe and one of our friends went in front of me.

This is it.

I walk though the door, seeing the groups of people standing in front of me, the people I know as I walk past them, all with smiles. My eyes go onto Winry and Chloe, both waiting next to each other as Chloe gives me a thumbs up. Then, I look at Ed, his hair tucked into a ponytail neatly, with a sweet smile on his face.

And lastly, to Alphonse, I feel my heart skip a beat as I look at his blushing face. I lock eyes with him, and time stops. As I walk up infront of him, we hold hands, looking each other directly in the eyes as the priestess said her prayers, which where short and sweet.

"Do you take (Y/n) as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

Alphonse looked me directly in the eyes, as I felt a smile creep onto my lips. "I do."

"And do you take Alphonse as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

I smiled, and held his hands a little tighter. "I do." I say, feeling my smile slowly grow wider.

"I now pronounce you Alphonse and (Y/n) Elric, you may now kiss the bride." I feel Alphonse's hands cup my cheeks gently, pulling me into a kiss. I hear the claps and cheers of the crowd infront of me, and kiss him back, wrapping my hands around his neck. I pull away, and see the grin on his face.

I raise my hand, with Alphonse's hand in the other. "Let's eat!"

"I'm stuffed." I said, sitting back in my chair as I look onto the dance floor. I look, and see Roy, no, drunk Roy beatboxing on stage while the band looks on in horror, and Riza looking down and shaking her head.

I look somewhere else, and see Lilly, happily dancing with her fiancé who just came back from the army. She's 19, still in college at central and is training to be a new State Alchemist. I saw her again a few years back, I couldn't be prouder.

Ling is joking around with Ed, since they both haven't seen each other in some time now. And now he's a king? Damn, who let him in charge?

I see the Curtis' dancing softly to the music. They always where a nice couple, I want to be like them when I'm older.

I then see Chloe, Garcia and Winry talking. Winry just got pregnant with her second kid, her first is showing off her moves on the dance floor.

"(Y/n)!" Elicia said, now 13 years old.

"Yes?" I reply, feeling her happiness radiate around her making me happier.

"I want to be as pretty as you when I get married, and I want a husband as nice as him!" She stated, as I felt a smile on her face.

"You already are beautiful, Elicia!" I said, smiling and spinning her around as we both laughed a little. I put her down, as her mother looks over at me and smiles.

I look over at Alphonse, who now has a big smile on his face, I lean onto his chest and look up at him. "What's with that smile, you goofball?" I tease, sticking out my tongue at him.

"I think..... I think we should have kids." He said, locking his hands with mine and placed them on my lap. I blush.

"I-I want to as well." I say, feeling my cheeks heat up by the second. Before I got the chance to say anything, Roy took the microphone.

"This song goes out to the bride and groom." He said, a hiccup mid sentence, "Snap snap! Spark spark its time to light up the d-dignity dark! I'm the flame Alchemist and I am the Führer!" He kept going, as Alphonse and I bursted out into laughter. I looked at Ed, who has a very, very smug smirk on his face. He totally got him to sing this.

I gave him a smile, and mouthed 'you're the best brother in-law ever!' We both laughed, before he finished and actually dropped the mic, which made me have to wipe my tears.


As the party wrapped up, and people started leaving, the house cleaned and cleared.

I flop down onto mine and Alphonse's bed, feeling the softness of the covers. I hear the sink running, and Alphonse comes out in a pair of grey sweatpants and lays down next to me.

I feel his bare, toned chest behind me, as his arms wrap around my waist and he places gentle kisses on my cheek and neck. I let out a soft hum, as he slowly gets tougher and rougher with his kisses, which turns into soft biting. I let out a louder hum, this time with my mouth open. He flips over, now on top of me and I smirk a bit, as he leans in to kiss me while his hands are running up and down my sides, under my loose tank top. He pulls away.

"I guess we're doing this now, you ok with it?" He said, leaning into my ear as I feel my stomach twist with anticipation.

"You can do whatever you want, Alphonse."




Ha! No, I am not writing an actual lemon for this story, and probably won't in general. But I'll let you picture what's happening next. I don't know, maybe I'll do it in a different book, but this one isn't really child friendly either, so.... maybe? *careless whisper plays in the background*

Anyway, I hope you guys are looking foreword to the next (and final) chapter of this story!
