Edward wandered aimlessly through central, gazing around at his surroundings and thinking about recent events that had occured. Had it really come to this? Just a month ago, the Colonel had been his everything, and now he stood alone, a broken man. Leaning against the cold cement, his mind began to wander back to that fateful night he was snatched from his fairy tale life, and thrown into the cruel and harsh world of bitter, and utter loneliness.
"What am I doing thinking of him at a time like this? It's almost Valentines Day. I shouldn't be thinking about him at a moment like this. Still, I do miss him." He shook his head quickly, as if trying to send the memories from his mind. "No, I don't miss him. I don't want anything to do with him."
He continued to wander around central for a few moments, before finding his way outside. The cool breeze caressed his warm face, and he gazed out onto the streets as a familiar face walked by. Where had he seen this man before? Who did he resemble. At that moment, the stranger turned their gaze towards him, and flashed him a friendly smile. Edward dashed towards him almost instantly, and stood before him. "Alphonse? What are you doing here? I thought you had..."
"Alphonse? I am sorry, but I know not of this 'Alphonse' you speak of. My name is Hiederich."
Edward gazed at him for a moment, trying to think of how he could confuse this stranger, or Hiederich as he stated, for his brother. Upon closer inspection, he realized what reminded him so much of his lost brother. "Your smile. It's just like his."
Hiederich smiled once more, and extended his hand to him. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name. What did you say it was again?"
Edward extended his hand to him, and shook it firmly. "I didn't, and it's Edward. A pleasure to meet you Hiederich."
Unknown to both of them, Havoc stared at them both as they continued to converse. "Aw, how cute. The rebound relationship begins" he stated, a smirk on his face. He wandered away from the window, and into the Colonel's office. He closed the door behind him, and all remained with him for the remainder of the day.
"Come on in, my house is your house" Edward said, as he opened the door to his apartment. "Make yourself at home." Edward wandered over to the kitchen, and grabbed two glasses from the cuboard.
"Thank you Edward. Thank you for opening your house to me, but I'm sure I can stay in a hotel or something. Are you sure this is no inconvience?"
"Not at all. Would you like something to drink? Juice, apple juice, juice juice?"
Hiederich laughed, and shook his head. "Milk will do."
Edward crinched, and shook his head. "Sorry, all out! Anything else you want?"
Hiederich turned to face him, and smiled softly. This smile was different from the one earlier, and something about it sent a chill down his spine. "Um... what did you say you wanted?"
"Water. Just water please."
Edward quickly poured the water into the glass, and handed one to Hiederich. "Here ya go. Nice cold water." He lowered himself into the seat next to him, and they continued to converse for the next several hours. Upon realizing the time, Edward slowly rose from the sofa and waved to his new companion. "Excuse me, but it is late and I am sure you are tired from your journey. I'll see you in the morning alright? There are blankets right next to you, so feel free to use as many as you want. If you need me, I'll be down the hall."
Having finished saying goodnight, Edward wandered into the restroom and slowly slipped out of his garments. Turning on the shower, he stepped inside and sighed softly as the warm water flowed over his finely cut body. After a few moments, the door opened and Edward was surprised to see Hiederich staring at him for a long moment, before even flinching.
"Um... did you need something Hiederich?"
"Do I need something?" Hiederich smiled softly, and slowly slipped out of his clothes as well. Edwards eye's wandered in amazement. This certainly wasn't his brother. He blushed softly as Hiederich joined him in the shower, placing his arm's on either side of him and pushing him towards the shower wall. "What I need Edward... is you."
Edward blushed softly as Hiederich leaned in and kissed his lips tenderly, hungrily taking his tongue in his mouth and pressing his body to his. Chills ran through Edwards body as the water continued to stream down on them, ever so nicely making the room hot and steamy as Edward let his hands wander.
Colonel approached Edwards apartment, and took out the spare key. It had been a while since he visited Edward, but he felt this complete and utter desire to feast his eye's on the master piece that was Edward Elric. Stepping inside the dark room, his eye's were immediately drawn to the blankets on the couch.
"Hm... does he have a guest?"
Upon seeing the light in the restroom, he crept slowly towards the door and peeked inside only to be greeted by the sight of Edward and Hiederich sharing another steamy kiss. Infuriated, the Colonel turned on his heel and walked over to the vase sitting on the table. With a snap of his finger, he lit it aflame and left the apartment.
