++Breda++

Kain's party is off to a nice start and I'm trying not to spend the whole night watching you chase someone else. That becomes nearly impossible once Ed decides he wants to hang out with us. You're pulling out all the stops and I'm impressed with how charismatic you can be when you want to.

Who knew you had it in you.

When you manage to actually grab and maintain Ed's attention I decide not to fight it and move on. He's laughing, you're laughing you don't need me hanging around.

I know a third wheel when I see one.

++Havoc++

It's Kain's birthday and we are all at the park cooking out, relaxing and celebrating.

I've finally got you alone and we're talking about a little bit of everything yet nothing all at the same time. I grab us fresh drinks and ask you if you want to take a walk. Just because you're no longer pissed at him doesn't mean I shouldn't take action.

I'm tired of idling on this.

No sooner than I open my mouth to ask you out on Saturday does he appear.

Clamping my mouth shut I try not to bite my tongue in two.

++Ed++

I am doing a damn fine job of avoiding you at Kain's birthday party, so when Jean asks me to go for a walk I am all for it.

We are talking, all is well and if I I'm not mistaken Jean was working toward a point of some sort when you appear out of nowhere and sit down beside us.

I try not to appear as uneasy as I feel but you are too close for comfort and I have to go.

I tell Jean I'll catch him back at the party and leave.

I need room to breathe.

++Roy++

When Fullmetal all but runs away as soon as I arrive I tell Jean that he must still be a little pissed off at me only to have Jean look at me like I'm a moron.

"What's that look for?"

"Nothing Chief, I just never figured you for the dense type."

"Did I interrupt something?"

"Would it matter to you if you had?"

Stunned at his words I can do nothing but stare after Jean as he walks away.

What happened to my charm? Anymore it seems I'm able to piss off people without even trying.

I need a vacation.
