XI: Breda
It hung on the wall next to the filing cabinet. One day to a page. One number to a sheet.
Second Lieutenant Heymans Breda was in a daze. Unbeknownst to him he was standing in the exact same spot Hawkeye had found Edward in a few weeks ago.
Staring at the unchanged calendar and totally oblivious to everything else.
Last night he had met her. He didn't know her name but he knew she worked in the State Library and she had the softest brown eyes he had ever seen.
Once a week, a little coffee shop he knew well held a shogi night and Breda would be there every week. But last night his usual opponent had not turned up and he had resigned himself to a dull night. Until she had offered to play against him. He had been rather surprised when he had barely managed to win. And completely surprised when she had beaten him.
They had played for hours until they had been kicked out to the good natured ribbing of the staff. And he had forgotten to ask for her name.
Black Hayate sat on his foot for thirty minutes before Breda noticed and fainted.

Author's Note: Fluff attacks… it doesn't bite as hard and it does make the skin itch… but Breda really needs some fluff…
(And I was thinking of the girl who worked in library and who gave Ed Schieska's name after the First Branch burnt down)
