Warnings: No happy endings.
Mustang opened his eyes slowly.
His chest was aching. His vision blurred and he had a nagging feeling of worry.
After blinking a few times his vision cleared and he found himself in a hospital room. He sat up sluggishly, and noted he had wires all over him.
He tried for a few minutes to remember where he was, before he finally remembered Ed, and Al talking to him.
Then what happened? What was the date?
He sat there for another minute as his jumbled thoughts rammed themselves together, he had nearly been killed for letting Ed stay at his house a night.
Where was the boy now?
He pulled the mask off his face, coughed slightly, and opened his mouth to call for help.
"Don't do that." He turned to look next to him, Ed was sitting with his feet stretched out on the bed, and he was wearing his gloves again (which he hadn't bothered with since coming back.
"Edward!" he reached over to hug the boy, wincing at the pain in his chest. "Why are you here?"
Ed smiled at him. It wasn't his usual cheeky smirk, this was different.
"Al's dead." Mustang's breath caught in his throat, his heart jumped to his mouth, but he crushed his joy brutally. "Are you okay?"
"They think I'm mad." At this the boy sighed and pouted.
Mustang scanned over the boy, concern rising. "I'm sure they don't."
"They do. I was upset and crying and they put me in psychiatric ward. That was mean and I was scared and wanted someone to look after me. And they put me with the nutters. So scared, so scared"
Mustang levered himself up. "Well you seem fine to me just a bit shook up."
Ed smiled at him again, this time it reminded him of…no he chose to ignore the voice in his head telling him to get out.
"I was waiting for you to wake up." The blonde's voice was sorrowful now, he tipped his head and gazed in Mustang's his eyes.
"Thank you, didn't know you cared." Mustang offered the boy a shaky smile
"Bye." Mustang gazed at the boy.
"W…What."
"I wanted to say bye. Otherwise, well I'd feel bad." Mustang felt a cold dagger cut into the knife wound from Al.
"See." Ed lifted an ornate dagger. "It's because I knew you." With that he thrust the dagger into the mans heart.
He felt arms wrap round him and smiled a transparent, darker, looking version of his brother, who smirked and lean his chin on the blonde's head.
"Well done." Mustang gasped for breath and caught hold of the young boy, who made a light "oh no." Mustang gazed up into the blondes eyes tears pouring down his face and blood from his mouth.
Ed cocked his head "Bye, bye."
Three years later.
The fifteen year Edward activated a transmutation circle.
A eleven year old Alphonse Elric appeared in the centre.
"Brother? Where am I? Why are you so old?"
Edward stared at him. "Oh no. This won't do at all."
He clutched the blood stained dagger in his hand and went to hold his brother, slowly kissing him on the lips.
"See Al that's what we do when we grow up."
