Warnings: Spoilers for the start of Day 7, Week 3, but I think you're good, so long as you recognize Konishi/Iron-face. (I love the nicknames for the bad guys so much. 3)
Pairings: Um, Beat/Neku? Look, I'm calling gen, but you can read into it what you want.
Rating: G.
Notes: This is a lot gayer in retrospect. And the song? Yeah. That was one of the FmA Ops or EDs (I don't remember which.) The editing I did for this mostly consisted of changing the high-five to a fist-bump. While I prefer high-fives, Beat is definitely a fist-bump kind of guy.

Cool Joke - Undo

Neku and Beat fist-bumped as Iron-face's soul dispersed. Her Noise form had caused a lot of trouble, but Neku thought back to the text he had received. It had meant something, after all, even if it had just sounded like utter nonsense right up until the last moment.
Neku handed Rhyme's pin to Beat, but Beat refused it, insisting that since Neku could use it, it might be better for him to hang on to it.
Neku realized that the growing warmth in his chest was gratitude. Beat trusted him more than he deserved, especially taking into account the first week. If Neku were Shiki, he might have made a happy coo and hugged Beat, but since he was Neku, he gave Beat a manly pat on the back and said "Thanks."
