25. Blind
Ed is not superficial, but he's not blind either. He sees beauty in nature and in people.
He sees no real beauty in himself, however. Maybe once, he supposes, he had the potential to grow into something attractive, but years of sin have turned him ugly. Now, he is scarred. His reflection is skewed by the things he has done and the people he has wronged, and Edward Elric is the ugliest person in the world.
He knows this, he accepts this. But he still looks into the mirror some days and thinks you're too young to look this old.
If only Ed could realize what a sexy, sexy hunk of man flesh he really is.
Just another reminder -- if you're at all familiar with my other works, I would really appreciate it if you filled out the poll on my profile. :D I have too many projects going on, and I'm trying to work on all of them at once. I'd love to see what the readers really want to read so that I can prioritize properly. Thanks!
