Look, they got some help. Namely, each other.
December 14th -- Ed & Fury
"What was it you wanted to talk about Fury?"
"Well..."
Fury fidgeted. He was barely taller than Ed, which seemed to make both slightly more comfortable. Still, Fury'd never been one to talk about himself. So when he started the conversation, he didn't.
"Everyone says, that you like someone."
"Oh. That."
Ed's demeanor had dropped suddenly. Fury felt the same way.
"I was kind of hoping we could talk about it. See, I like someone too, and... Well, I need to talk to somebody. I thought maybe we could talk to each other?"
Ed considered it momentarily. Fury wasn't the kind to gossip. In fact, from what Ed knew, Fury hardly talked at all. Maybe he'd feel better if he told someone. It didn't have to be very in depth.
"I guess we could. You wanna go get some dinner? I know a nice little cafe where no one'll bother us..."
That they'd likely not be found was left implied. Fury nodded, liking the suggestion and glad he finally had someone to talk to.
"Sounds good. Lead the way."
The two disappeared down a side street, away from the crowds neither liked.
