   V-Day

"I have learned to love that which is meant to harm me, so that I can stand in the way of those who are less strong. I can take the bullets for those who aren't able to" -Margaret Cho

I walked with Roy down the road. We were both on our way to a Valentines party; surprisingly, at the same place. Our Valentines live at the same apartment, their room mates. Reaching the bottom of the hill, leaving our own house, we fell silent. Both of us had gifts in out hands and a light snow frosted the frozen ground as our footsteps fell in sync. The snow was so white. It was so pure. It reminded me of a blinding light. Something good. Warm.
"You look worried" Roy's voice cut through my thoughts.
"Huh? No!" I answered. Roy laughed.
"What's wrong, Kajime?"
"I'm scared I don't look good..." I muttered.
"Why would you think that?"
"Look at me! I got a hole in my jeans!" I indicated by lifting up my leg in mid-walk. He laughed again.
"Don't worry about it. I bet FullMetal's wearing his casual clothes too. Maybe he's wearing those leather pants you like so much." Roy smirked that cocky little smirk he always made. I blushed a little, chuckling. I won't deny that I don't like those pants but I won't admit that I like them aloud.
"You'll be fine." Roy said, knowing that he got her thinking.
"I hope so!" I laughed. The snow flurried around us in a frenzy to get to nowhere. We continued laughing the whole way; gifts tucked tightly in our arms.
It wasn't long before we got there. Roy took the gifts for me so I could knock on the door. With one brisk, hard rap of my knuckles on the door, Ed was in the window. He hopened the door, Tamari running up behind him. Ed looked slightly shocked. So was I. He was handsome in a black tuxedo, a ruby red undershirt and a matching tie. Tamari was in a beautiful blue and flowing dress that matched her bandana. I glared at Roy. He was in his usual attire of his blue military uniform. I was in faded baby blue jeans that had a hole in one knee, a black tank top, and a baggy red sweatshirt. If it wasn't bad enough that I wore my normal stuff it was the fast the I looked more hick than ever! Roy didn't look back at me but remained his composure. 'Damn you' I hidded at him in my thoughts. Next thing I know I was wrapped up in Ed's arms.
"Hey"
I blushed, smiling, consumed by the hug. "Sorry"
"For what?" He looked at me questioningly; almost daring me to tell him why.
"I look like a hick" I said heasitantly.
He grinned, hugging me agian. I was thuroughly confused.
"I don't care" He said softly. I grinned, hugging him back.
"Well that's good, I don't feel so stupid now!" I laughed, so did he. Next to us, Tamari was hugging to Roy.
"You look absolutely handsome" I continued with a huge smile. He blushed.
"Thanks"
"Let's go inside" Tamari suggested, intervening.
"Let's" Roy balanced all the presents in his hands. He stepped through the door after Tamari had gone in. I took Ed's hand.
"It's kinda chilly out here anyways." He grinned.
"Yea" And with that we walked in together. By then Roy had put down the gifts on the counter. He organized them quickly.
"Here." He handed Tamari her gifts from him. Tamari's eyes lit up. I quickly grabbed up the ones I got for Ed. I offered them to him meekly.
"These are yours..." He reached out to take them and I added a quick "careful"
"Thanks" he looked at me. Oh my god. Those eyes...
"Well, you going to open them?" Roy said to Tamari.
"Yes but I need to get your gifts!" She said, darting off. Roy followed her with a chuckle, not running though.
"That's right, I have something for you too." Ed smiled.
"You do?" I was optimistic. Together we walked into the living room. The lights were dimmed all romntic-like. There were candles around the room that needed to be lit-a small flick of my wrist took care of that- and there was a bottle of wine on the bar along with some snacks. 'Holy s**t' I thought. Ed held out a bundle of presents to me. I took them, sitting on the couch, opening them. In Tamari's room I heard a squeak of hapyness. They were opening their gifts. Ed sat on the coush next to me. We both smiled at each other, gingerly ripping through the wrapping. Roy had given Tamari some bandanas and a few trinkets of jewelry. Tamari had gotten Roy a heart-shaped eyepatch and some other things. They both came out of the bedroom wearing their new stuff. Ed and I laughed.
"Nice eye, Roy" I sneered.
"It fits you" Ed said in a caustic voice. Tamari glared at them
"K-" Roy raised his eyebrows, interupting.
"Really? Why thank you, I think I look quite dashing." He grinned. That defeated the cause of picking on him. Ed finished opening his gifts. I made him some small figurienes with my own hands. One of my self and one of him. The third was the two of us kissing and the stand had a plate stating 'Don't Let Go Of This Moment In Time' on the botto is said 'Kajime and Ed Forever' in a heart, and 'lyrics by Bryan Adams & Sarah McLachlan, Don't Let Go'. He blushed, looking at it. Oh he's so cute when he blushes... There were some other small things I got him too. He got me beautiful jewelry, flowers, and some candy. I hugged him tight. In the background Roy and Tamari inspected the mini statues... The rest of the night was just a whilwind of fun...

=============================
Dont Let Go-Bryan Adams & Sarah McLachlan
I can't believe this moment's come
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
Will you forgive me if I feel this way
Cuz we've just met - tell me that's OK
So take this feeling 'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go
(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
(Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No don't let go )
No, I won't let go
Now would you mind if I bared my soul
If I came right out and said you're beautiful
Cuz there's something here I can't explain
I feel I'm diving into driving rain
You get my senses running wild
I can't resist your sweet, sweet smile
So take this feeling 'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go
(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
(Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No don't let go )
No, I won't let go
I've been waiting all my life
To make this moment feel so right
The feel of you just fills the night
So c'mon - just hold on tight
(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
(Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No don't let go )
No, I won't let go
