Warnings: Excessive Al-brand cuteness and shmoop.
Author's Notes: Written for dejla for the First Kiss Meme. Although I write Al/Winry as part of an Al/Winry-Winry/Sheska poly relationship in Like a Heartbeat, this is the first time I ever tried to write just Al/Winry, let alone a first-kiss scenario. I hope I did all right. They are so full of cute and dorky win. XD I love them.
Summary: He was going to die. He was going to be mauled with wrenches while melting into a gooey puddle of blush. Of all the ways he could die, why did he have to be dying stupid?

Notes: redbrunja asked me in a comment to another fic why my RoyxRiza fics were less fluffy and happy than my EdxRiza ones. Admittedly, due to circumstances and dynamics, it's harder to fluff these two. So I poked a the theme list, and got hit with this in total clarity. I'd been holding out on this theme for another bunny I've had since Feb of '05, but I know I'm never going to write it now. There's a crucial scene with Havoc I had in mind that I know I likely wouldn't be able to write without coming too close for comfort to ripping off John Goodman's speech in "Always". After all, none of my names begin with 'C', let alone two. So redbrunja, this one's dedicated to you. You asked about fluff, and I'm sorry. This one's chock-full of cavity-inducing mush, I'm afraid. ^_^

Notes: Random trivia, the date and day are correct. Perpetual calendars are fun. There is a yet-unconfirmed (AFAIK) fandom rumor that Roy Mustang obtained his state alchemist certification at age 13. I'm playing off the idea that it was around thereabouts. For the record, the Ishbal uprising began in '01, and it wasn't until '08 that alchemists were sent in. Mustang was born in 1885, and Hawkeye four years later in 1889. Thanks to jchaos for plotting help and some of Mustang's dialogue, and thanks to writer-lilies for the beta.

When You Touch Me

He knew his automail hand was cold. But he wore gloves so often, and Al had been the only person he was around regularly enough to touch without them that it was easy to forget. But Riza never flinched or jumped, even when he knew it had to be a shock. It was moments like those which made him love her all the more, just as she didn't flinch then when cold, metal fingers touched her face.

He watched her, that beautiful, lethal, loyal woman beside him on the bed. He wouldn't have blamed her if she did, if she protested to the heavier weight of his metal limbs, if she didn't want anything to do with him at all, fallen, damaged sinner that he was.

Ed wasn't prepared to fall in love all over again when she caught his hand and pressed her lips to the cool metal, knowing he couldn't feel it the way his other hand could. She accepted him as he was, without reservation, and he again felt luckier than he had any right to be that at the right moment in time, he'd caught that glimpse of a warm heart under that rigid military mask.

I've said it before, I'll write things for friends even if it's not something I personally would choose to do on my own if I get an inspiration for it. Renae, this is for you. Thank you so much for these years of your friendship, and your enthusiasm and willingness to share your love for Stevie with me.

It was like the moon; there was no other way to describe it. There were times when it shone, clear and bright and full in all its glory. Times when only traces remained. Sometimes it was obscured behind clouds.

Then there were times when it didn't seem to be there at all, with no trace of it to be found.

But like the moon, even when it couldn't be found or seen, it was still there. It was always there with them, under all the years, all the pain, all the miscommunication, hurt, lies, and truth.

Sometimes, love never died.
