Alphonse x Reader One-Shots

Sledding

(A/N- I don't care if it's not winter anymore! If I wanna make an Alphonse x Reader about sledding, I AM DARN RIGHT GONNA MAKE IT!
Also, I drew Alphonse and me acting out part of it. Because reasons. Fangirling reasons.)

***2nd Person POV***
Your (e/c) eyes surveyed the surrounding area from the top of the hill, fluffy whiteness surrounding you on all sides. You spun around with your arms out, mimicking a helicopter.
"Snoooooow! I love snow!" You shouted, throwing your arms into the air, stopping your spin.
"For Pete's sake, it's just frozen water. It's not that great," Edward said grumpily, trudging to the top of the hill. He was just tired of the cold.
"Come on brother, it is pretty cool," Alphonse said, arriving after Ed with Winry following behind him.
"Was that temperature pun intentional? Because if it was I don't have a rimshot to play for effect," you called from your short distance away.
Your excitement was clear as you started running around on the peak of the whiteness, your sled dragging behind you. Your inner child was showing itself, and there was no containing it.
Alphonse chuckled at your child-like behavior. Your slightly puffy winter coat gave you the appearance of a discolored marshmallow, but it also made you look cuter than usual.
Alphonse was just hoping he wouldn't embarrass himself in front of you. His larger metal body wasn't the best for maneuvering around in the snow.
You turned your gaze to the group following behind you once more, waiting for them to reach you. As soon as all of them were at the top of the hill, you didn't hesitate to rush to the edge of the it and jump onto your sled headfirst. You ended up on your stomach, pointing straight down the hill, when you called out the thing you had been planning to say since you all began your sledding adventure.
"I'M QUEEN OF THE PENGWINGS!"
(A/N- Totally not referencing Markiplier...and Benedict Cumberbatch. Definitely not.)
Edward sighed quietly enough that you couldn't hear him as you sped down the hill, but Winry and Alphonse could hear him easily.
"Does she really have to be that childish?"
"I think it's cute," Alphonse defended you.
Winry smirked,"You just think that cause you like her."
Al's helmet tinted pink immediately. "N-no I don't!"
Ed placed a hand on his younger brother's shoulder. "There's no use denying it, it's obvious you love her."
"Ed! You're supposed to defend me!"
Edward and Winry's teasing was cut off as you started to run back up the hill. About halfway to the top of the hill, you started slowing down, worn out from dragging the sled as far as you could in as little time as possible. Alphonse quickly went down to meet you, taking the sled from you when he reached you.
"Thanks Al," you panted, walking behind him.
"No problem," he said.
Edward and Winry were giving you two a knowing look, but you were oblivious to it. Alphonse, on the other hand, was completely aware of it, and his nerves were growing quite speedily.
When you reached the top, Edward and Winry were just starting to slide down the hill on their separate sleds. They knew exactly what they were doing. They were trying to get you two alone so one of you would hopefully tell the other that you loved them.
But both of you were nervous about it, you just hid your nerves better. Most of the time, at least.
"Those two need to go on two person sled," you commented.
"Y-yeah, they should. I might want to try it, too," Al said quietly.
Heat immediately rose to your cheeks, and you gave him a questioning look.
"Y-you mean, th-the two of us?"
Alphonse realized what he said and started stumbling over his words. "N-not like that, I mean not if you d-don't want to, or if you do then, it could just be as f-friends, or if you want to go not as friends then..."
"I would love to Al," you cut him off before he embarrassed himself further. You silently started to put two and two together as you reflected on what Alphonse had said in his flustered state, and you grew suspicious that the feeling of love you had was mutual. But for now you just let it be.
"Hey! Are you love birds gonna go on the sled or not!?" Edward shouted from a short distance away. Ed and Winry had started making their way back up the hill without either of you two noticing.
Your face reddened further, and Al got even more flustered.
"Brother!"
You stayed quiet as you quickly went over to the larger, two-person sled. Picking it up, you made your way to the edge of the hill, got on the sled, and waited. After no one joined you, you looked back to see why you were by yourself.
Alphonse was staring at you from his spot in the snow, unmoving. He seemed to snap to attention when you looked his way. Winry's shout interrupted the moment's silence.
"Alphonse Elric get your tucas over to (Y/n)!"
Al hurriedly went over to get on the sled with you. He carefully sat behind you, and you repositioned yourself so that you were sitting on top of his apron, or in his lap. You had your legs to your chest so that Alphonse had some room to move his legs, and he cautiously wrapped his arms loosely around you. A blush adorned both of your faces as you got adjusted, and the pair of blondes was smirking at you as they watched.
You were embarrassed, but were enjoying the situation at the same time. And you had a feeling Al felt the same way.
"R-ready?" Alphonse stuttered out.
"Mmhmm," you hummed, nodding your head slightly.
With a push, you were going down the hill. The brisk air stung your face, the scarf you were wearing providing little resistance. The cold, and the fact your crush was hugging you from behind, was tinting your face a lovely shade of pink.
Alphonse was blushing too, but that was just from embarrassment, since the cold didn't affect him. While you were enjoying the dropping sensation in your stomach, his mind was occupied with worrying.
'What if I accidentally move my arms and do something unintentionally!? What if we crash, and I end up crushing her!? I shouldn't have done this, it was a bad idea. I was foolish to even think someone as beautiful, kind, and smart as her could ever fall for a trash can like me.'
(A/N- NO ALPHONSE DON'T CALL YOURSELF A TRASH CAN!)
But before any of Al's worries could come true, you had reached the bottom of the hill and slowed to a stop.
You were laughing out of the thrilling feeling you'd experienced, but you didn't get up. You leaned back against Al's armor and sighed happily.
"It's even faster when you have more weight on it. That was really fun!"
"Y-yeah, we c-could go again if you want to," Alphonse slightly mumbled the last part.
"Of course!" You rolled sideways off the sled and stood up in the snow. You walked towards Alphonse, who was still sitting on the sled, so you were taller than him at the moment.
"One more thing, Al," you leaned down slightly so that your faces were only a few inches apart.
"Y-yeah (Y/n)?"
"I do want that ride, and all the ones after it to be as more than friends," you calmly said. You quickly planted a quick kiss on his chin, then took off running up the hill. You knew he'd eventually catch up to you, but it's the thought that counts.
Alphonse remained still for a couple seconds, then quickly stood up and grabbed the sled. Metal clanked as he raced up the hill after you.
"(Y/n)! Wait for me!"
***THE END***
