(y/n) was sleepy. She'd been back and forth working odd jobs in town and was certainly tired, but at this point she was drifting between consciousness and sleep. So, she laid herself on the couch and stared unfocused at the bookshelf across from her, waiting to fall asleep. It was at this moment that Edward walked into the room, smiling huffing a soft laugh when he saw his girlfriend just laying on the couch and staring into a nonexistent void. He approached easily, hefting her up and out of the way just slightly so he could sit down before resting her head on his lap.

She mumbled something or other about warmth, but it was so heavily laced with her tiredness that is was barely intelligible. Edward decided that this was cute. He'd seen her tired before, but never this tired. Clearly so, as this was the first time he could remember (y/n) ever falling asleep on his lap. Which was quite surprising, considering how long they'd been together. Regardless, it left Ed with a gentle grin and a desire to run his fingers through his lover's hair. So he did just that.

An hour or so passed, and by then Ed had retrieved a book from the coffee table and read while he alternated between carding his warm fingers through (y/n)'s hair and simply stroking her head. It was quiet. Calm. Something that he felt could finally relax him after so much chaos in his day-to-day life away from home.

The quiet ticking of the clock, the breathing of the lovers, and the gentle thrum of rain on the roof created a harmonious hum that nearly lulled Ed to sleep as well. In fact, he was very nearly asleep when (y/n) stirred, eyes fluttering open as her fingers gripped his pantleg slightly. She looked up, gazing through bleary eyes as her lips tugged into a smile. Edward returned the smile as best he could as his eyelids drooped and his head lolled slightly.

(y/n) sat up and scooted onto Ed's lap, just resting her head against his chest. It seemed to be Ed's turn to sleep now, as he nodded off with his head leaned back against the couch and his arms wrapped loosely around his girlfriend. It really painted a perfect picture of a lovely domestic couple. Time ticked by, content as the two rested together.

After another hour or so, (y/n) nudged Ed's cheek until he woke up, and the two shared a calm smile as (e/c) eyes gazed softly and lovingly into the equally soft and loving golden eyes of the blond alchemist.

"Can I kiss you?" Ed murmured quietly, hugging his automail arm around her waist while his flesh hand came up to brush her cheek.

A light blush dusted onto (y/n)'s cheeks and her eyelids drooped to make her eyes appear as half-moons. She bit her bottom lip slightly, seeming to consider the question carefully. Until a soft 'yes' escaped her lips and her eyes closed, waiting.

Ed moved forward slowly, connecting their lips in an incredibly gentle kiss. They barely moved, just taking in the feeling of the other's lips against their own, and they parted briefly before both meeting in the middle for a second, more active kiss. Their lips molded together slowly and lovingly, soft, plush skin sliding over each other in a sparking, intimate way that made warmth swell in their chests.

This was their moment, and no amount of rain or long, exhausting days could take it away from them.

Thanks so much for reading!
