A Secret on the Eve of Battle
By Hizoka Anba Kaitolen
Edward was alone when he walked into Rolf's tent, just the way he wanted it, he had something to tell Rolf and it was very important to him.
"Hello, Rolf you in?" Edward asked lifting the flap.
"Yes, who is it, oh it's you Edward, what can I do for you?"
"Um…well, I just wanted to talk, my nerves are a bit High right now because of tomorrow."
"I know, I'm a bit tense myself, I've been with ike for years now and I've done a lot of fighting, but I still get nervous sometimes."
"Really, I would never have guessed that you get nervous, I Mean you're an archer I'd figure being nervous would be bad for your aim."
"It would be, but you learn to control your nerves as your focusing on your shot."
"I see, well that sounds a bit like how when I'm fighting I just kinda lose myself in the moment."
"Similar yes."
"Um…," Edward hesitated, he didn't know how to say what he thought, "Rolf I…"
"Yes, what is it Edward?"
"I have something to say."
"What is it Edward?"
"I don't know how to say this to you Rolf so I'll just say it," Edward took a deep breath before continuing, "the real reason I came here tonight is to tell you Rolf that…I'm attracted to you and that I may be in love with you!"
Edward rushed the last part as if to hurry up and spit it out so he wouldn't turn chicken and not say anything.
"Edward I don't know what to say, I've never had anyone say that to me before," Rolf said slightly surprised at Edward's forthcoming and himself.
"I don't care if my feelings aren't returned; I had to tell you Rolf."
"I understand, and although I do not know how my brothers would take it, I am interested in seeing this through, for I too have feelings for you as well Edward."
"You do?"
Now Edward was shocked, he did not expect this out of Rolf.
"Of course, as much as I like Mist she is just a friend, so much so I think of her like a sister, you however I have had a fondness for I couldn't explain until now."
"Oh Rolf!"
Edward ran to Rolf and hugged him, Rolf hugged him back and said, "I think we should keep this our little secret, I believe that would be best for now."
"I think your right Rolf, anyway may I?"
"May you what Edward?"
"Kiss you, before we part ways for the night."
"Of course you can Edward," but before Edward had a chance to Rolf had already taken the initiative and leaned in to kiss him.
The kissed passionately for a long while and when they parted lips they were out of breath and panting. Edward walked to the flap of the tent turned back and said his good bye with a smile then walked out.
"I wonder if I should make a surprised visit to his tent next time," Rolf mused to himself with a smile.
After checking his equipment one last time he retired for the night, and as he slept he dreamed of Edward.
