Love isn't Perfect

Summary: I can't keep this charade, how lovely it may seem x Eduard

He stopped the car in front of her house and turned off the engine. The light of the street lantern was the only light that filled the empty street besides the light within the houses. Behind her, he saw that the light inside her house was burning and a silhouette moved behind the curtains to meet another. Emma followed his eyes and look behind her, putting bangs of blonde hair behind her ear. He noticed her painted fingernails again, the colour matched her beautiful dress. "My brother is home." She said, before facing him with a slight blush on her face.

"Thanks for taking me to dinner Eduard. My brother got afraid that I'd never leave the house." She said, smiling and her eyes glistened in the light of the street lantern. A hint of guilt was shown. Eduard blushed and let his hand slip away from the wheel. The nerves he guessed.

"I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I enjoyed it too." He said with a bit of a tremble in his voice. Emma blushed and went with her hand through her hair. Her hand rested on the necklace around her neck, a half shaped heart. It wasn't his, but he knew whose it was. Eduard hated that fact.

He closed his eyes for what seemed a second.

Emma smiled a little shy and her hand reached for the door. But Eduard took the hand that rested on the necklace, before she opened had opened the door. "I need to tell you something." He pulled, so her face followed her hand towards his face. He kissed her, felt her soft touch with the slightest bit of lipstick touch his lips. The moment he waited for, for years had come. He had the courage to kiss Emma van der Rijn, the woman who was more than a mystery to him.

Eduard blinked with his green eyes after their lips parted and realized it was nothing more than a dream, a desire to kiss her but still unfilled. He hadn't been heroic, he hadn't told or showed her what he felt for seven years. How he wanted to kiss her, just at least once.

Emma was still there, with a blush on her face and her hand near the door. "Thank you so much Eduard. I enjoyed it so much, sorry I didn't say much because of my headache." She said, moving forward and kiss Eduard on his cheek before opening the door to walk towards her house.

He waved with his hand, still partly left in his dream and started the engine when her front door opened and her sister-in-law let her in. He didn't saw her wave goodbye, he passed her house and stopped near the road outside the residential.

Eduard had been too shy, too much with his mind focused on the fact that she still wore Lovino's necklace. He didn't kiss her because she still seemed his with that necklace around her neck. Maybe she was. Maybe she saw the dinner as a thing to cheer her up. It was nice though, the perfect dinner, perfect restaurant, perfect view from the town.

But this, hiding his love, wasn't perfect.

Tomorrow the final part, if I passed al my tests. I hope I do, I really hate to redo them. But today went great, Math.

Poor Eduard. I feel sorry for him.

R&R!
