Alphonse x Reader One-Shots

Blind Double Date

You shifted uncomfortably, watching the setting sun from the balcony. Looking down at your (f/c) dress for what seemed like the hundredth time, your mind filled with doubt once again.

"Winry, I'm not so sure about this anymore. You know that Alphonse is the only guy I've ever loved, whether I have the courage to actually tell him so or not. I don't feel comfortable going on a date with someone I don't know, I don't want to feel like I'm just using them," you said to your blonde friend.

"Oh come on, you were the one who suggested to Ed to ask me out. I merely suggested we make it a double date."

"I didn't sign up for that when I told him to ask you out!" You hastily responded.

"Welp, I promised Ed that you'd go with the person he's bringing along. Don't worry, he's a really nice guy. And he's tall," Winry cooed.

"Yeah, but," you trailed off.

"For Pete's sake, (Y/n), shut it and woman up!" Winry shouted, walking back off the balcony before you could protest further.

Sighing in defeat, you turned back to look at the horizon. Your thoughts drifted to figuring out who the person you were being forced on a date with could be.

'Both Winry and Edward know him, apparently. I don't see why he wouldn't be at least close to my age. Tall. Well, I know she's not talking about Ed,' you chuckled to yourself. 'I'm not sure Winry and Ed know any guys that I don't, so I probably know them. Or at least, I know of them.'

An idea suddenly floated into your head.

'No, surely they won't have done that. Then again, Winry can be pretty devious. But would she really try something like that? Would she really plan something like that with Edward?'

"U-um, excuse me miss," a familiar, slightly echoey voice said from behind you, making you tense.

Before you turned around, one last thought crossed your mind.

'Screw you, Winry.'

"Brother, I don't want to go on a double date. You know (Y/n)'s the only girl I'd want to go out with," Alphonse said, fiddling with the black bow tie on his neck.

"Well in that case, you should get some experience on a proper date before you ask her out," Edward said, adjusting his own bow tie as he gazed into a mirror.

"But I don't want to go on one with some girl I don't know," Al protested.

"Well then you should have asked (Y/n) so you could be going with her."

"I never asked to be going on this double date!"

"Well it's too late to back out now, Winry and your date are expecting us already, so let's go," Ed said, making his way towards the bedroom's door.

"We're already in her house, there's no need to be hasty," Al mumbled quietly.

After walking into the other room, Al saw Winry and his brother already talking. When she noticed Alphonse, Winry paused to talk to him for a few seconds.

"Your date's out on the balcony, Al. Go say hi," she said, before returning to her conversation with Edward.

A bit nervous, Alphonse walked to the second floor and out onto the balcony. He saw a girl with (h/l), (h/c) hair, a (s/c) complexion, and a (f/c) dress looking out over the countryside. Hesitantly moving forward, he tried to introduce himself.

"U-um, excuse me miss," he stuttered.

The girl turned around, and he immediately recognized the curious (e/c) gaze of the girl he had fallen for.
