My inspiration for this comes from Katana Miiruken. Rock on!

Ed knew that eavesdropping was wrong…but that's what made it so tempting. He couldn't resist listing to the conversation between his brother and friend. He hid behind the cracked door, keeping as quite as possible.

Inside the room, Al and Taylor were talking about something. Something that sounded like they didn't want someone else to hear. Someone like Ed.

"You can tell me." Al told her.

So Al was trying to get Taylor to open up about some secret. Ed grinned as he leaned even closer to the crack in the door.

"I don't know." Taylor said uncertainly.

"You do, don't you?"

"I…" Taylor hesitated. Then she came right out with it, "Okay, yeah. I think I'm in love with Edward."

Ed froze completely. His breathing ceased. Even his heart seemed to stop.

Taylor's…in love…with me? Ed thought in wonder.

A victorious expression enveloped his face as he began to dance in the middle of the hallway. As he moved, he sang, "Oh yeah. She likes me. I knew it. Yeah, yeah-"

"Brother?"

Ed had been so caught up in his happiness that he had forgotten to be quiet. As a result, Al and Taylor had come to investigate and had found the Fullmetal Alchemist doing the cabbage patch.

Ed stopped in the middle of his dance and stared wide eyed at them. "Um…this isn't what it looks like."

Taylor crossed her arms, "Oh really? Cause it looks like you're dancing."

He let his arms fall down to his sides as he responded, "Okay, maybe it is what it looks like."

"Brother, were you eavesdropping?" Al chided him. At this, Taylor's brows rose.

"Would I do that?" Ed tried to lighten the mood.

"Yes." came Al's quick reply.

Ed swore under his breath.

"So you overheard what I said?" Taylor asked.

Ed sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, "Sorta."

She sighed, "So I guess you know now."

He nodded, "You're in love with me."

Taylor seemed startled by this, "You think I'm…" Then she burst out laughing.

"What?" Ed asked, becoming confused and irritated.

She tried to calm herself. She stifled most of her giggles but some came out as she said, "I wasn't talking about you."

Ed frowned, "Yeah you were. Don't even try to deny it. You're exact words were 'I think I'm in love with Edward'."

For some reason, this made Taylor go into another bout of laughter. Ed gave Al a questioning glance. The suit of armor just shook his head and shrugged.

Taylor forced herself to calm down again. She explained, "I wasn't talking about you, Ed. I was talking about Edward Cullen."

Ed's mouth popped open, "Oh…"

Then he turned around and walked away without another word to either of them.

Whoever this Edward Cullen guy was, Ed was going to find him and beat him to a bloody pulp for stealing his woman.

(-Taylor-)

I watched Ed walk away silently. I couldn't tell if he was mad or happy or anything. He just had a blank expression on his face. I guess he believed me.

I breathed a heavy sigh of relief as I leaned back against the wall, "Whew, I can't believe that actually worked."

Al gave me a curious glance, "Does that mean…?"

I nodded, "Just don't tell him, 'kay?"

"Alright." Al said. I had a feeling that if he had a body he would have been smiling smugly at me right now.

Aww!
