There’s music floating into his mind, a song stuck in his head. His long blond hair swishes in the wind, dancing like the frail leaves on the trees that line the sidewalk.

He wishes the song would stop and the wind would stop because he can’t hear himself think and he’s never been able to concentrate well with music. His fingers and cold and turning red in his coat pockets, but he feels like he must pay attention to the path along which his thoughts are heading, lest he fall off and be left behind.

He’s thinking of that person, and that person only. It’s so goddamn dangerous, as if one misstep will throw him off the edge of the world. He keeps his eyes down and his boots moving, then thumps into a waiting figure.

His golden eyes glance up into the other’s face, and the epiphany struggles to the surface.

“Oh,” he says, “I love you.”

A/N: WAAAAH! It’s over! Since the theme this entire time has mostly been love, I decided I needed to put it in the ending... T-T I only came up with the idea because I had to explain to my Mum that no, I didn’t hate her music, I was just closing the door because I can’t write with any on. So that’s why Ed can’t concentrate with music.

Anyways, I would like to thank all of you very much for reading and reviewing this fic. It’s got over eleven thousand views and over a hundred comments, and it’s all thanks to you! So thank you so so so so so much!!
