The Only One
Dance
Mustang's P.O.V.
The M.C. introduced a woman, her hair was short, real short, she was wearing black jeans and a tight white shirt. He said her name was Maria didn't say her last. I heard the music start up behind her. I recognized the song, I'm guessing it was karaoke night because the song was originally sang by a boy.
It's under to yourself
And now I'm so gone.
It's under to yourself
And now I'm so gone.
The music was beautiful, utterly mind numbing. I felt myself stand and move to the floor, I knew I was the only one out there, but I didn't care. I closed my eyes and moved to the beat of the song
Well trains take me so far.
Well only in my brain and it's fine to me.
How come you do, you do this thing.
It was all instruments now, the rhythm, the melody, all of it was perfect. I heard more footsteps, three people at least, they were moving out onto the floor. I opened my eyes and saw them, Ed and Al.
Well circle around and get yourself a better look
A better memory.
And you fall down, You do.
Well file down these streets
Lined with fools and luxury.
We've sinned our best
But nobody looked, yeah just
Al was dancing with a woman that seemed only slightly older than him, while Ed was just standing there looking shocked. Still I shut my eyes again and continued with the pattern I had set up.
Love me, Love me
This is how I'm forced to live.
Well I don't want to live like that.
No I don't wanna live knowing second words.
I felt his eyes on me, in a small way I was hoping he saw through my goth exterior, hoping he saw me. Really though I didn't want him to know, that's why I went through the trouble of the goth image. I kept my eyes closed, all I heard was the music, but I couldn't get Ed out of my mind, I wanted to dance with him so bad.
Well trains take me so far
Well only in my brain
And you do you do
I'll sing the words to you
I heard footsteps again, next to me this time. My eyes snapped open, it was him, Ed was standing right in front of me. He smiled and offered out his hand. I took his hand, feeling myself blush. I pulled him close to me pressed his chest to mine. He had grown, he rested his head on my shoulder. One of his hands clutched my side and pulled my waist to his, we moved together matching the beat. I was in heaven.
Well circle around and get yourself a better look
A better memory
And you fall down the way you do
I'll file down these streets
Lined with fools and luxury
And we sinned but nobody looked,
Nobody looked, yeah
I slid my hand along his jaw, bending down slightly, I pressed my lips to his. He didn't hesitate to kiss back, quite the opposite, he slid his tongue against my lips eagerly. I opened my mouth happy to oblige, I let him slide his tongue into my mouth, only to dance around his with mine. He moaned. into my mouth, I couldn't believe this was happening to me.
Love me, Love me
This is how I'm forced to live
I don't wanna live like that
I don't wanna live, knowing seconds words.
Do you
Expect me to seem free from your care
From your problems
He is the best now
She's under pressure
He is the best now
She's under pressure
These nights will go so quietly
I caught my breath and let go of the small blonde in my arms. He looked at me and giggled, he waved a hand for me to follow him to the bar. His face was slightly flushed, but his beautiful golden eyes were clear as ever. He ordered himself a plain drink while I got a weak vodka.
We sat there at the bar the entire night just talking, well a few songs came on that we both liked so we got up and danced to them. It was a night I can't and won't ever forget. It wasn't until three in the morning when we finally went our separate ways.
Luckily, I was still sober enough to remember I was trying not to look like me, and managed to walk in the opposite direction and central HQ and Ed. Al had left a long time earlier leaving his dance partner by herself, I guess he just didn't like her.
I went to a small coffee house a ways down the street and ended up staying there for nearly an hour, when I left I raced back to HQ, remembering to use the back door, and into my room.
I was tired, I may have forgotten just how tired I was when I was with Ed but it hit me full force now. I was almost falling asleep while I was still standing. I managed to wash my face, and remove my jewelry before collapsing onto the couch, not caring to get any blankets or anything. Its a good thing I'm off tomorrow, I thought to myself before I was out cold.

A sharp, loud rapping on my door woke me up. I didn't know what time it was, but the light coming in from the window said noon. I had one hell of a headache, but it didn't hurt enough to slow me down.
I sat up, somehow I had gotten from the couch to the bed, but right now I didn't care, the knocking on my door hadn't stopped yet. I shouted I was coming before tearing of my black shirt and pulling on a white button up one. I had the buttons half way done up when I opened the door. There, in military uniform, stood Ed.
