LingxEd

Ling looked surprised. "Really?" he asked, no longer letting go of him.

Ed simply nodded. He wouldn't be able to take it if Ling left him again anyway.

Ling nuzzled his neck, his arms slipping down. "I love you..." He spoke softly, almost indirectly.

" I love you too.. "

Ling smiled. (Though, When isn't he smiling, really?) and kissing him gently and quickly. "You'll be a beautiful queen..."

" Don't call me that.. "

"But everyone's going to call you that."

" Great.. Being portrayed as a woman.. "

"You're taking it the wrong way. Xing's different than this god-awful country."

He just shrugged at this.

"Where's your brother?" He asked. "You're leaving him here, right?"

" Oh god.. Al.. I can't leave him.. "

"Isn't he off somewhere else though?"

" He's in Risembool right now. "

"He's busy, he won't care if you leave."

" Are you kidding? He'll throw a hissy fit.. "

Ling rolled his eyes. "I really have to go..." He let go of Ed completely. "I'll see you another time.'

" Okay, I'll leave him here. "

"Don't say that, because I know you won't. You'll just leave me and come back here the moment you get homesick."

" I won't leave you. I can't live without you. "

Ling sat back down, facing Edward. "You have about two hours to decide. Then I'm leaving."

He nodded abit but said nothing

The small little lover's tiff had cleared Ling's mind, so he was able to put on the rest of his clothing and leave the apartment.

And yeah.

Ling left for two hours, then sat outside the apartment. He was giving him twenty minutes. Fu and Lan Fan were just shaking their heads. And Fu's alive because I say so.
