"But I did, just like I asked." Sam continued to smile brightly. He wished Edmund could see his bright smile but one could hear his smile in his voice. "Edmund, you don't have to be shy," Sam guessed with a giggle. "It's just me. Don't be shy~" Then he frowned and his gaze fell slightly, filling with sadness. "Unless... you don't really want to talk to me."

Edmund felt his cheeks heat, and he was happy Sam wouldn't see that supposed powerful man blushing deeply at that comment. "No!" He quickly said to Sam's last comment and winced at his eagerness. A shaky sigh tumbled out of his lips. "It's... it's always been easier for me to write than to speak..." Closing his eyes, he listened to the happiness in his voice. His knees shook and he slid down the wall, sitting on the ground. A hand pressed to his mouth as his eyes watered and tears threatened to spill over.
But to his horror, Feli burst into the room. "Vee~ Eddy!!!" He cried happily then paused. "Eddy~?" He hopped over to Edmund and crouched down in front of him. "What~? Why are you so red~? Are you okay~?"
"Go, Feli. Don't you know how to knock?" Edmund growled. "You could of walked in on me naked and would of been scarred for the rest of your life." Then he winced again because he remembered he was on the phone before.
Giggles filled Feli and he poked Edmund's chest. "Vee~ Old man! You're not even that old, and you're hardly naked either. How come you look so young~ Oh! I was going to ask you, what would you like for dinner~? Who are you on the phone with~? Why-- are you crying, Eddy?"
His face just got that much redder. "No! Feli, I don't cry! I simply was staring at the wall for too long. Just go make what ever you want."
"Paasstaaa!!" Feli giggled. "And you do too cry~ You cried when fratello disappeared."
"No, Feli. You cried when Lovino disappeared. I comforted you."
Again, the Italian boy burst full of giggles and leaned forward, wrapping his arms around Edmund. "And you did a good job at it too!!!!"
"I fucking sucked, get off of me! Go make dinner before Xan cries! I'll shoot you!" Edmund growled, trying to push Feli away.
"Teehee~ Eddy~ I know your trick now! You just threaten me~ You won't hurt me, you promised me, fratello and Cyril! Who you talking to, is it a giiirrrlll~ Teehee! Is Eddy flirting~?"
"Feli. The closest I've gone to flirting with someone of the opposite sex was catching Romano staring at a woman's ass. A-And..." Edmund glanced at the phone to see if Sam was still there. "I-I-I'm talking to my son." Feliciano was quiet, slowly, he pushed off of Edmund and looked him in the eye, tilting his head.
"Ohh... oh okay... okay.... Vee~ Sorry. Which one? I'll leave now, Eddy~ Will you tell me more about him later? Or is it a girl? Woops! You said son! Okay, okay~ So pasta for dinner~? Pasta!! Okay!!" Feli smiled brightly, taking the phone. "Ciao Eddy's son~ Don't make him cry too much~"
Then Feli quickly bolted out the room, closing it behind him. "I don't cry!" Edmund snapped and sighed, kind of wanting to hang up then and brought the phone to his ear. "I'm sorry... about that...S-Sam..." He dragged out Sam's 'm' as if he were about to say 'Sammy' but stopped himself. "That was Feliciano..."

Sam had been giggling hysterically, he found Feli to be quit comical. Perhaps it was because Feli reminded Sam of himself. Maybe Sam had set it to speaker so Kaleb could hear it too. It was nice to hear that Edmund had someone there to tease him. In a sense, Sam was a bit jealous that he didn't have a relationship like that with his father, but he was trying. "Oh Edmund, he sounds like a funny guy to be around~! He can cook too." Sam smiled happily, taking it off of speaker phone. A frown replaced his smile. "You're not... actually crying, are you? Am I.. am I making things harder for you?" Sam's eyes watered a bit but it did not show in his voice.

A hint of a smile twitched Edmund's lips at first, but then it dropped at the last part and another shaky sigh left him. "No, Sam... you're not..." He swallowed, trying hard to find the right words. "I-It's just that... I... I never thought that... I would hear from any of you again, and to know that you... that you want to forgive me and become a family again..." He swallowed, struggling. "I guess, you could say... it makes me happy.. so my eyes water a little bit..."

His smile returned and Sam went to lull his head against Kaleb if he was still there. "I know it's hard to believe, but I really do forgive you. I really want to reconnect with you and I really want to be a family. Even... even if I'm the only one who wants this, I want to just step out from Scotty's shadow just for a moment to do what I want before I step behind him again..."

Kaleb was still there, Cloudy forgot to add, but he was laughing when he over heard the conversation between Edmund and Feliciano. He wrapped an arm around him, smiling sadly at him.
On the other side of the receiver, Edmund sucked in a breath and nodded, then realized Sam couldn't see him yet again so he paused and thought of what to say. "You can walk out of your brother's shadow any time, Sammy," Damn it. It slipped. Fuck ducks. Edmund continued smoothly. "I don't think Scott is holding you back... and I'm done pushing people around, I won't push you back under that shadow. Sammy?" Fuck, he did it again. Fuck. "You... your laughter it sounds a lot like Ana's. It's nice... nice to hear."

Sam decided to giggle again because anything that mentioned laughing always made a person laugh. Then, after his laughter was over, he frowned again and dropped his gaze to the ground that may or may not have seen snow yet, it depends how far they are into winter. "I know, I know I can.. He's not but it's just.. I feel safe with my brother and I've never really done things on my own. I don't want to hurt him but I really want to reconnect with you."

For a moment, Edmund was silent, he listened to Sam and thought through his words. "I know..." He couldn't help it, a slight, very tiny, very tiny mind you, laugh hit through his lips. Like a start of a chuckle but never finished. "We keep saying we know..." Clearing his throat, Edmund played with the ends of his hair, feeling a bit awkward. "That... Kenneth man... the Ketsuki leader? I heard he is racist... he's treating you well... right, Samm?"

Sam felt pretty awkward too but he still enjoyed the conversation nevertheless. He smiled now and nodded, even though it was obvious Edmund wouldn't be able to see that even though Elliot probably would think that would work. "Yes, don't worry~! Kenneth takes care of us and protects us like his own kids. He helped Scotty a lot too. What about you, Edmund?" He giggled, are you taking good care of the silly brothers you told me about~?"

Edmund was quiet on the other end, "It was... frightening. I almost lost Romano... it was the night after... that terrible decision of mine. Romano found me, so on so forth. And then.... he went out-- I told him I should of gone with him... but or he should of waited... his partner died.... And, I lost him." He looked off to the side. "It was one of those times that I felt like a failure... I still do. Feel like a failure that is..."
