This chapter is here for no real reason. I just felt like doing something like this. I hope it makes you rethink what you originally thought

Back to 6th grade

Ed sat under the big oak, his knees drawn to his chest with his chin resting on top, watching the other children play. He remembered his mom telling him to try and play with the other children this morning and at first he thought he should but quickly dismissed it when he learned that kick ball would be the game to play today. He would always be picked last but even then they'd have him on the bench the whole time, which he didn't mind, he didn't care too much for physical education of any kind but it still hurt none the less.
Ed sighed softly and put his cheek on his knees. He wished he had remembered to bring his book with him but they were rushed out the classroom because a snake had found its way into the room. It wasn't even a poisons snake, although he didn't really blame the 3rd grade hall for freaking out, the snake did try to bite a few of the kids, but it just wanted to play. Ed only hoped the teachers hadn't tried to kill it.
Ed sighed again, turning his head the other direction and saw the snake from before. Smiling gently, Ed held out his arm tentatively, even though the snake was virtually nontoxic, it would still hurt to get bit. The snake crawled up his arm slowly, wrapping itself around his forearm, hissing softly.
The blonde boy giggled as the snaked continued the creep up his arm and on to his neck. "So cool! I only see this kind of thing on TV!"
Ed jerked his head up, his heart racing and his face red. He knew that if anyone saw him doing this, he'd be even more of an outcast and they would call his parents! He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose with his free hand, his eyes focusing on the boy in front of him. He had short black hair and shining black eyes to match. He had an awed look on his face. Ed gulped and held his arm with the snake on it back down to the ground, letting the reptile slither back to the earth.
"Are you some kind of snake charmer?" the boy asked with immense interest. "I was sure that it was going to bite you, that's why I ran over to make sure you were okay!"
"T-thank you." Ed was very surprised that someone had come to see if he was okay. He was sure none of the others kids cared for him and he was convinced that the only reason the teachers care was because his dad was very important to the town. "I didn't know anyone was, um…looking, I guess."
The boy flopped down next to him. "Well, as long as you're okay…weren't you scared that it was going to bite you? I think I would have screamed if it came that close to me."
"I was at first but the trick is to remain calm and to show the snake that you're not scared."
"That's so cool! Oh, I'm Roy by the way." the boy said, holding his hand out to Ed.
"I-I'm Edward…" Ed took his hand and shook it.
The boy smiled big and let go of his hand. "Do you want to see something that's just as cool?"
"Uh sure." Ed watched Roy as he pursed his lips and whistled a bird like song. Not long after he started, little birds start appearing next to them, cocking their heads and hopping to them. "They're so close…" Ed pulled his legs closer to his chest, watching the birds.
Roy stopped whistling to catch his breath. "Do you want to feed them?" he dug in his pocket and pulled out a small container of bird seeds. "I always bring some with me in case there are any birds around." he opened it and shook some of the seeds out next to them, a small pile of seeds falling out.
"Do you always do this?" Ed asked, watching birds hesitantly hopping towards them.
The dark haired boy nodded and continued to whistle softly again and more birds flew up to them.
Ed looked up and watched as birds flew over head, copying Roy's song in their own way, making a chorus of bird whistles.
"This is absolutely remarkable." Ed said, his voice just a whisper. "I've never seen anything like this…" he turned back to Roy, true happiness swelling in him for the first time in school.
Roy stopped whistling and looked at Ed. "I must go now, I am afraid I have spent too much time here." he carefully took Ed's hands as if they could break if held too tightly. "I promise I will be back. Always remember me."
"W-wait, where are you going?" Ed felt his fingers grip at Roy's in desperation. "I know we just met but please don't leave."
"Even though our time has been short, I will always cherish it for the rest of my life, that I promise you, my little rose bud."
Ed blushed and soon felt something soft on his lips and realized that Roy was kissing him. His eyes closed and all he felt was Roy's lips on his and a single tear run down his cheek.
After a moment, Roy pulled back. "Keep your eyes closed until I say open." he placed another kiss on Ed's cheek. "Always remember me and I will come back, I promise you that. Never change for anyone, my little rose bud."
All Ed could do was nod for he feared he'd burst out crying in an instant. "I promise that I'll always remember you, Roy."
"Good." Roy placed a kiss on the top of Ed's head. "When I get to three, you can open your eyes. 1."
"Roy,"
"2."
"I'll always love you."
Roy smiled sadly and kissed Ed on his lips on last time. "3."
Ed's eyes flew open and the birds around him quickly went away and a gust of wind blew, scattering leaves around him and wiping his hair around his face. He looked franticly around but Roy was nowhere in sight and that made him miserable.

That night, Ed laid in bed, thinking about Roy and the promise he made him. Was it all in his head? Was he so depressed that he made up Roy so he wouldn't feel alone inside? If so, why had he made him leave?
Turning on his side, the blonde boy stared out the window and up at the stars. He desperately wanted to know if Roy would ever come back to him and he felt crushed inside to know that he would never ever get to met Roy again…but would it be such a bad thing to wish upon a star?

Did you have any feels?

I hope so -creeper smile-
