* This is a short little series about Eragon and Brom and what would have happened if Eragon found out on his own that Brom was his father, well with a bit of help from Brom of course. Very short Chapters. About 4 or 5 chapters long. Will be updated Everyday. I promise.

Brom sat next to Eragon's sleeping form, his fingers pulling through the boys golden brown hair as he slept. Brom had done this many a night while Eragon slept unknowingly. Or so he thought...

"You do this a lot..." murmured Eragon softly. Brom's hand stopped, still in Eragon's soft bronze hair. He froze not knowing whether to get up and go back to his cot or to go on like it had never happened.

Eragon didn't say anymore so Brom cautiously resumed what he was doing. Thinking. He began to hum softly as his gaze lingered on the one star in the midnight sky. Star light, Star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight... I wish I could tell Eragon that he's my son, that I could call him mine in other then my own mind. he found himself singing something he had not song in ages but it was in a whisper:

"Close your eyes,

Make a wish,

and hope beyond hope,

that one day it may be granted,

I have gone many places,

and have been afar,

but there is no greater place

than here,

with you,

tonight,.."

He was cut off when Eragon stirred slightly, Brom froze once again. Eragon turned so he was facing him, his soft ice blue eyes on the older mans gray ones. He propped himself up on one elbow and watched the older man with curiosity.

"You do this a lot." repeated Eragon as he sat up Brom let his hand land in his lap. His gaze rested anywhere but Eragon. "How long have you known?" Brom asked in a soft whisper looking at the ground.

Eragon chuckled as he crossed his legs and turned so he was facing Brom. "Even when your asleep you notice things. I stopped thinking it was a dream about three fort nights ago." answered the boy in a child like tone. Brom smirked, apparently Eragon was much more observant than he let on to be...
