Drabble Notes – Edo/Johan, based post-GX with the pairing already established. Must admit that I've changed the way I'd like to write both of these characters since this drabble but I still wouldn't mind working on a romance between them, just not in the way it's shown here.

Edo was very accustomed to getting what he wanted in life. Because of this he'd developed an exterior that mostly prevented all guilt based upon his actions from reaching him. He was brilliant, so as far as he was concerned nothing he did was wrong or worthy of guilt.

But he couldn't stop himself feeling a pang of guilt as he watched Johan. It wasn't that his attraction towards Johan was not genuine; it was the reasons for his attraction that bothered him.

Johan was just like Juudai. And truth be told Edo knew he was probably still in love with Juudai despite him not being an option now. So his current attraction to Johan was like an escape route to get away from Juudai.

But dating someone so much like Juudai obviously didn't put his previous crush out of his mind. He should have thought of that more before agreeing to go out with Johan…

"Is something wrong?" Johan asked, watching Edo with mild suspicion.

"No, nothing's wrong," Edo lied easily; he had a reputation to uphold after all.

He walked over to his partner and pushed him down. Exerting dominance was something that Edo enjoyed and would at least take his mind off Juudai for a bit.

Struggling to get up Johan yelped, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Admiring your beautiful face up close," Edo answered grinning. Although it sounded pretty corny he knew the compliment would hit home. Edo could read and influence people easily.

Blushing at the comment Johan opened and closed his mouth a few times in an attempt to think of a comeback.

Watching him with amused glee Edo had to admit, he did find blue hair more attractive than brown.
