Spring- Edward Elric x Reader

“Ed! Edward!” you shouted, running freely along the dirt paths of Risembool’s outskirts. {Hair colour} hair swept behind you, whipping around in the spring winds. Edward decided that you should come home with him, to see the beautiful country in it’s purest state.
You were just a big city girl, never having seen the country with your own eyes, and it was a sight to behold and adore. Green fields swooped, rolling along lightly with the hills. Trees grew in outcroppings, huddled close together, sharing a secret. The leaves would whisper in the wind, hinting as to what they’re saying. Land was divided off by wooden fences, the perfect thickness to walk along. You wished you never had to leave.
Edward was standing at the side of the road up ahead, talking to an old friend about how things were. He had traded in his average uniform for a pair of dark shorts and a red tee-shirt, hinting at the treasures underneath. One hand in his pocket, the other waving gestures as he spoke, he turned to look your way. His friend smiled, and said something that caused Edward to turn a furious red. You couldn’t help but smile as your boyfriend of some time now waved his arms frantically, mouth moving a million miles a minute.
You stopped running as Edward turned back towards his friend, and presumably said something, although you couldn’t tell. The friend’s reaction was to look at you and grin, and both of them slowly turned towards you. Catching your breath, you started walking towards them, fairly cautious. What could they be planning.
Suddenly Edward jogged towards you and picked you up in a hug, spinning you around. You were surprised for a moment, but then hugged him back, grinning ear-to-ear.
“There’s my girl,” he murmured, setting your feet back on the ground. You held his gaze for a moment, golden eyes staring into {eye colour} ones.
Edward’s eyes had always fascinated you. Gold was a strange colour for eyes, and he was the first person you had met with gold eyes. His younger brother, Alphonse, had hazel eyes. Both of the Elric brothers had been through so much, and they were both so young. Well, not as young as they were. Edward was pushing nineteen, with you trailing only a year behind.
You glanced over Ed’s shoulder, to where his friend was standing, but no one was there.
“So,” you started, grabbing Edward’s hand and pulling him down the dirt path. “Where to next?”
Edward smiled cheekily, as if he had a plan up his sleeve, and tugged at your hand, taking off at a run and dragging you along behind him. “On an adventure!”

After an overly long walk down the dirt roads, cutting through numerous fields, Edward finally plunked down under a tall tree, shading both of you from the slowly setting sun. You sat down next to him, snuggling up close, and he wrapped an arm around you.
The first day of spring was drawing to a close, and boy, was it ever a great one. It had smelled like flowers along the entire walk, and several of them were currently weaved into your hair. The grass really was greener on the other side. The other side of the country, that is.
A breeze started to ruffle it’s way by, playing with your hair, and then Edward’s. You closed your eyes, and lay back against the tree trunk, basking in the glory of the moment.
“Hey, {your name}?” Edward said, and you could feel him sitting up from beside you. You ‘hmmmed’ back.
“I’ve been waiting to ask you this for a while, and I just wasn’t sure how to do it, so here goes.”
“Ask me what, love?” You responded, opening your eyes (rather reluctantly, actually) and sitting up.
Edward was perched on one knee, the same one he had lost about ten years ago. His eyes were staring directly at the ground, face beet red, and he had shoved a box in your face. It popped open with a click, and inside was a very simple, yet very distinctly beautiful ring.
“Will you marry me?”
