Edward stood there…just looking at the hallway, looking at the same place Col. Mustang was standing. Other Military personnel passed by as well, of course. When they noticed Edward just standing there, staring at air, they got freaked out, and walked away saying "Okay, Crazy." Edward didn't seem to notice this AT ALL. He was still standing there, staring at air.
"I can't believe it." Edward said.
I said it myself, so I can't blame Al for it. And…Maybe Mustang WAS right…GRRR I can't believe this! That bastard!
Edward walked home that day, he was sort of hiding, well, maybe he WAS hiding. He just doesn't want to admit it.
I have to make sure I do not bump into Col. Mustang…he may say something again…
Edward quietly walked through the halls. Hoping Mustang would not appear.
And you know what idiotic Edward did?
He walked somewhere he shouldn't have…it would ruin his plain completely…
Yes. He walked straight into Mustang's office. The airhead.
WHAT? … Why am I HERE! Here...of ALL PLACES! Did I just…sort of come here…without even thinking?
"What is it now, Fullmetal?" said Roy Mustang.
Blushing, Edward replied.
"….I don't know" Edward replied in a slow, soft voice.
"You don't know?" Roy questioned.
"Yeah. That's right. I don't know"
"How come?" Roy said. "Did you just come here, without thinking?"
Ed was shocked. How could he possibly know that? He started to think that maybe Mustang, maybe Mustang was meant for him!
"Before you get any thoughts…"
"WHAT?" Edward yelled, angrily.
"Many people come to places without thinking, it just means that they seem to just go to that place. They feel comfortable there. And it's where they spend most of the day."
Ed blushed even more.
"Why are you blushing, Fullmetal?"
Because I'm upset that you're such an asshole! Why…Why do I have to like YOU?
"Fullmetal, would you like to go out sometime?"
Ed couldn't take any more. He was really embarrassed this time. He did not know how to react.
" WHAT! WHY DO I WANT TO GO OUT WITH YOU!"
"Why must you always jump to your weird thoughts? It doesn't have to be in that sort of way." Roy explained. "It could also be a friendship thing. Duh."
…What if I don't want it to be just a 'friendship thing?' Explain that. Smart aleck.
"Whatever you want."
I don't know what I want. It's sort of halfway to me… I DON'T want to go out with you, but when I think about it, I DO want to go out with you…I don't know what I SHOULD do…
Roy smiled.
Ed blushed at the sight of his smile.
Do me a favor. DON'T smile.
"…Don't smile.." Ed looked back "It's kinda weirds me out."
"Why should it? Are you embarrassed?" Roy smirked. "I've noticed you've been blushing a lot lately."
"So…?"
"It's a possibility that you DO like me, Fullmetal"
"…well I don't."
"So…"
"Tomorrow, then?"
Roy blinked.
"WHAT!" Ed yelled.
"No, I was just shocked. I didn't think you WOULD agree."
Well I did! So quit looking at me and just go on with your work, or send me on a mission or…do SOMETHING so I wouldn't have to see you!
"Fine then. Tommorow it is."
And with that… Ed left, and Roy continued on working.
TO BE CONTINUED.
