Edward's Point Of View

Walking through the hallway days later, I was still in a daze about what had happened with Roy. I actually hadn't seen him since, like he was avoiding me or something. That look in his eyes really had bothered me. It was like…fear. Like something he had done, something we had done, had completely frightened him.

I licked my lips. The taste of he lingered there. I knew he wasn't lying when he had told me he liked me. What was I kidding with this like stuff? He loved me, and I had seen it in those eyes, felt it in that rough, but loving, kiss he had forced upon me. I could sense it all over and around him as he sweated. I had affirmed that I wasn't the only one with feeling for the other.

My ears caught the familiar voice of a certain raven haired Taisa. I took off running, I had caught him out of his sanctuary of a locked office and I wasn't about to let him go. Havoc was away from him when I reached the corner at which he stood. I grabbed his sleeve and he turned to me with gloved fingers, ready to snap. He saw my face and sighed, pulling away from my gasp.

"I can't talk to you right now," he started to turn down an eastern hallway, "I have a lot of work to do."

I grabbed his arm in an unbreakable automail grip, making sure he wouldn't get away. "Bullshit."

"What?"

"I said, Bullshit." I pulled his arm aggressively into my small, insignificant office, (which, according to the Taisa himself, was suitable), and announced, "I have to talk to you."

He sat on my desk and put that, 'I'm better than you', look on his face that made me really believe it and I was just dazed up until he said something.

"Are you just going to gawk or were you going to say something?"

I straightened myself up, slightly embarrassed, and simply said, "I know you weren't lying.

There was that look again, the fear. "Wha-what are you talking about?"

"Why are you scared?" I let go of him arm, realizing that he was still in my grasp, "What is it that you're afraid of?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." He reached for the door, so I tripped him, and he fell to the ground. I walked around him as he began to sit up. Clapping my hands together, I replaced the door leading to the hallway with a wall. It was time to stop beating around the bush, I had to get serious. He sat up and rubbed his head, looking at the wall. His eyes went wide.

"Wha-what did you do to the door?" He jumped to his feet and looked down at me, reminding me of my lack of height. I grabbed his blue collar.

"Listen," I pulled him down, "If you were lying, then why did you kiss me?"

He was stammering, not getting out any words that I could understand. His face was perspiring like nothing I'd ever seen.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." I let go of his collar, causing him to stumble back slightly. "What's so uncomfortable and unsettling about this?" I sighed; it seemed weird that I was being so mature. "I've seen you go to bed and put your hands all over girls you hardly knew. You've known me for years, what's wrong with just a simple date?"

"Because you're no girl!" He blurted out the obvious confession, causing me to subconsciously smirk a, 'I won' smile.

"What should that make a difference?"

He shot a look that clearly said, "Are you crazy!"

I sighed, thinking over this predicament.

"Let me get this straight, just so I know." I pointed to myself, "You like me, right?"

There was a long pause, followed by a slight nod"

"Alright, I'm gonna do something extremely drastic," I said, then mumbling under my breath, "ever for me," I couldn't believe what I was about to suggest, "What if no one knew I was a guy?"

"Huh?"

"What if I…" I could feel myself turning red, "What if I," I breathed in real deep, thinking, well, here we go, "What if I disguised myself as a girl."

I could hear his jaw drop. "You would do that for me?"

"I would do anything," I lowered my voice, "even this," redder and redder, "to be with you." I looked up at him. "I love you, Taisa."

(Excuse me for my interrupting, but AWWWWWWWWW!)

The silence the followed those four words was unbearable. While I waited for him to say something, I went over was I was saying I would do, finally affirming that it was worth it. After the long wait, I finally said something.

"So, Taisa," I started to bat my eyelashes, something I had never done, "Will you do it…please?"

He smiled at me so sweetly and sincerely, something I had never seen before, ever. "Yeah."

I think that I'd never smiled so big.

Oh well, never say never.
