*wibbles* This is a very underused pairing (and one of my fav het). They're so used to having someone else to live for, that when those people no longer need to be taken care of... what will Ed and Riza have left? I like the thought that they lean on each other. (Probably why I like the Al/Riza pairing, too...)

I love the way you wrote it. Ed's hard-headedness and stubborn streak show up just in time for him to make the first move. (About time it did him a favor!!) ^__^
