X: Interlude: Edward
It hung on the wall next to the filing cabinet. One day to a page. One number to a sheet.
Edward Elric had two calendar pages in his possession.
He was curled up in his comfortable little nest, a corner in an unused office; sometimes he had even fallen asleep here.
But tonight, he was silently staring at the two pages in his hand. A week had passed since he had received the dated note and rose. He had been absolutely mortified when he had first seen it. He had been very thankful that no-one had been around when he had found it outside their dorm.
Ed hadn't even told Al and he usually told Al everything.
Edward read the note again. Was it really from him? How did he know? Nothing had been said, there had been no signs, nothing. So how did he know? Was he angry or just waiting for the right moment to humiliate me, Ed thought. But what if he wasn't. What if…
He picked up his pen and carefully wrote on the earlier date.
"The day I knew I loved you."
Should …no, could he do this?
Edward Elric was in love and terrified.

Author's Note: I blame this on my calendar… and the rabbits.
And thanks as always to the lovely reviewers: Bizzy (they amuse me too…'grins'), causmicfire (I made sure he received it…lol), harryetty (thank you… and this is a daily one so it updates all the time…lol), indigo's ocean (plot thickening... is that like gravy mix?…I wonder if I said 'out damned plot' it would be too plageristic?...lol)
