Happy Easter Fools, Bitches.

Tamaki's vision slowly came into focus. Surrounding him was a crowd of strangers, bloodied men and women with torn clothes and sparking eyes. "Did anyone catch the truck of the number that hit me?" He sat up, and noticed that next to him lay a gaunt-faced boy covered in a long coat.
"Edward," said a golden-haired man. "You did it." He smiled, and opened his arms as if asking for a hug.
"Um..." Tamaki dithered, rubbing his left arm with an aching and startlingly thin left. "Who... is Edward?"
The golden man stumbled backwards, one hand covering his mouth as tears pooled in his eyes.
"The toll he paid... The mind is that gateway between the body and soul. He must have paid his mind and knowledge to restore Alphonse," the golden man, let's just call him Goldilocks, was explaining to the gathered crowd.
"Excuse me," Tamaki raised his hand. "If I lost my mind, or knowledge, or whatever, then shouldn't I not know how to talk? Or anything I know? And who is Edward?!"
"You're Edward," said Goldilocks, ignoring his previous two questions entirely. "And that is your brother, Alphonse. You sacrificed everything to save him, body and soul." A tear hung from one eye, as he and the others bemoaned the loss of 'his' mind.
"But... I'm not Edward."
"... wut?"
"Yeah, my name is Suoh Tamaki."
"..."
"..."
"... oh"
"... yeah."
"...Then where the hell is Ed?!"
.
"Achoo!" Edward sneezed, and rubbed his dripping nose.
"God bless you," Kyoya said, his glasses shining and Death Note- I mean ORDINARY LEDGER grasped firmly in his palms. Yes.
"Thanks," Ed said, and they continued on to class.

THIS IS NOT PART OF THE STORY. I'm so sorry I love all of you the real chapter should be up soon. (How soon is soon? Anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Somewhere in there)
P.S. If you read this on AO3 the website is being shitty and I might be forced to post this tomorrow. Oops.
