Morbid curiosity, for one thing; I wanted to see how long this lasted until he eventually grew bored with it, or frustrated with the knowledge that I would never love him. I did inform him of that, by the way; he's entirely aware. He claims he doesn't care, and that being with me is enough; perhaps one day it won't be, and we'll go our separate ways. Perhaps that day won't come for a long time, perhaps it'll never come at all; it matters very little to me, in the end.

For another, we knew each other back in Amestris; we served in Ishval together, I believe I told you about that. He was one that I was mentoring back then; it wasn't as though he were a perfect stranger. Had that been the case, I wouldn't have agreed in the first place.

And I'm still not interested in men, really; I never really have been. He's the only one I've been with; that doesn't make me suddenly "interested in men."
