When they left for the night, it was obvious even to Roy how depressed Eternity seemed. Sure, she smiled, but it was apparent that she wasn't having any fun.

"Fullmetal," Roy said after the three girls had left, "Have you noticed how Eternity's acting lately?" Despite the fact that he wasn't that close to her, something had to be done.

"How?" Ed replied. Roy groaned at his partner's obliviousness.

"She's been really... depressed. Haven't you even noticed?" Roy asked, annoyed. "You two need to talk about this." Ed stared at Roy in disbelief.

"Why?" He asked, confusion written on his features. "Everything's working out just fine. Both of us have forgotten about that thing already..." He trailed off at the look that Roy was giving him. "What?"

The next day, Aria and Eternity were soaked when they came in due to the pouring rain outside.

"On a day like this, I'll never be able to get that song out of my head," Eternity finished saying to Aria as they hung up their coats. Roy drew Aria aside and starting talking lowly to her.

"What song?" Ed asked, curious. Eternity blinked, not used to him talking to her much after that 'incident'.

"It's called 'When I think about Angels' by Jamie O' Neal." She responded, looking at Roy and Aria in the corner uneasily. They looked up to no good. Aria turned around, smiling.

"Roy and I are going to go take a walk. We'll be back later!" She called, following Roy out the door. Eternity groaned. Of course, Aria would convince Roy to let Ed and her be alone... But Roy was the one that was talking to Aria. Note to self: Kill Roy and/or Aria later. She thought to herself, sitting on a chair near Ed's bed. Ed cleared his throat, seeming uncomfortable.

"Um... Eternity, can we talk?" Ed asked, shifting on his bed.

"We're already talking."

"No, about... you know. About a couple days ago." Eternity's head was down, but Ed caught her looking at him out of the corner of her eye. "I was wondering...what exactly did you mean, 'out of your league'?" Eternity sighed, looking towards the floor once more.

"Do you realize how many people would kill to be in my place right now?" She started out, picking her words carefully. "Do you know how many people would kill me to be in my place? In my world, there are literally millions of raving fangirls that are obsessed with you. They watch every episode of your show, they know everything you've ever said. I'm not one of those people. I missed most of the episodes, but still, I'm the one that ends up actually meeting you." She took a drink of water from a glass on the bedside table, and then looked him straight in his golden eyes. "You are out of my league. That's what I meant. No matter how much I may wish that..." She paused, her eyes flicking across his face for any reaction. Ed kept it carefully blank, wanting to know the entire story before he replied. "No matter how much I may wish that you liked me, you're too good for me."

"But I do like you." He was confused.

"No, not like a friend like! Like... like like." Ed's face was still puzzled. "Like... like boyfriend/girlfriend like."

"Ah." There was silence for a moment, in which Eternity fiddled with a silver bracelet on her wrist. "But... I do like you." He repeated finally, looking at her.

"But you like Winry too." It was a statement, and Ed nodded miserably. She was avoiding looking at him, wondering about what the next move would be. He tried to catch her eye, but she refused to look. Finally he gently cupped her chin and turned her face towards him. His eyes, so close to hers, showed concern for her reaction. "Ed..." She was cut off by his lips meeting hers. Gently, just a brush, but Eternity's heart raced for the second they touched. Ed looked into her eyes and smiled gently. They heard a muffled gasp outside the door, and they jumped apart to see Winry staring at them from the open door. Winry turned and ran as Ed jumped up.

"Winry!" He called, starting after her.
