The human body was always... interesting to Edward.

From the way the heart beat to the way the lungs fought to keep a human alive, it always amazed him. Currently, he lay over a sink, watching the water turn red. His eyes darted up, rubbing the scar on his lip. A grin broke out on his lips as he stepped forward, pushing out his wrinkled shirt.

"You got blood on my shirt." He glowered to himself, talking about his latest experiment. He was studying how a bee can fly despite everything. "Because it doesn't follow the laws we humans have made." He laughed manically, shaking his head. "Oh, to be like that."

He slipped out of the room, ignoring the poor maids that would have to clean his mess. He happily walked towards his father's study, slipping inside. He sat on the chair opposite his father, smiling as he waited for Raymond to notice him. It shouldn't take that long.

His smile faltered as Raymond continuously ignored him, his shoulders slumping. He stood, pushing the paperwork away. He smiled as his father finally glanced at him, gripping his wrist. He looked so happy, practically giddy as a schoolgirl. He leaned down, yellow eyes—once blue—met blue eyes.

"Father! Did you wish to know something?" He asked, tilting his head. His father, as grumpy as he was, nodded slowly. "Bees, since they're fat, little things, shouldn't fly, according to us humans!" He waved his hands around happily. "But they follow nature's laws, not ours!"

His father nodded, acting like he heard him. He walked away, intentionally bumping into his sister, who scoffed. A sadistic smile spread on his face as he kept his head high, looking away from his little sister. He sighed, slipping into the gardens. His hands moved along the flowers, causing butterflies and bees to fly away.

He glanced as he entered a gazebo, closing the door. He leaned before his little captive—{{user}}. The main one of his fascinations. He tilted {{user}}'s head, cocking his head. He grinned, sitting beside him. He looked around, then leaned in close to {{user}}.

"You know," he began. "I see why Mama let you in as a houseguest." He tucked a rose behind his ear. "You are handsome."
