I don't own Fire Emblem…so unfortunate…
11 HOURS
BOYD
"What happened?" Rhys asked.
Ranulf and Mordecai threw Boyd on one of the beds in the infirmary tent. "He had…a…fight with Mist…"
Rhys nodded as if he completely understood. Boyd was hunched up in pain on the verge of crying.
"I'll take care of him…"
Ranulf nodded, "He's going to need all the help he can get. Heck, his future children are going to need all the help possible."
Rhys suppressed a laugh. Nodding, Ranulf and Mordecai left.
'Damn it. I really messed up this time…'Boyd thought to himself.
"Don't worry Boyd, it'll be fine…"

"Boyd, wait." Mist said as she pushed him away and got up from the bed.
"What's the matter?"
"I…I'm not ready yet." She said as she got up from the bed, fixing her skirt.
Boyd sighed, "Fine, I'm sorry. Just get back over here." He stretched his arm
"No, you're just going to get excited again."
Boyd groaned, "Oh come on. We're going to do it eventually so just let it be sooner than later."
Mist was walking out the door, "NO!" she yelled as she slammed it.
Boyd turned his body to hide his face in his pillow, "Not AGAIN!"
***
Boyd sighed. He had been begging her for over a year to let them take the next step but she had always refused. It was her decision and he had respected it even though he hadn't liked it. But that wasn't the reason he had sighed. No, he sighed because he felt miserable about himself. First, he got caught cheating on his girlfriend; second, she had been the one to do the catching; third, it hadn't even been his fault. Elincia practically threw herself at him. Fourth, Mist had threatened to tell her brother about it.
'Yep, I'm a dead man…'
Slowly he got up. Immediately, he recognized where he was. He sighed again. Fifth, he had been kicked in the groin in front of a bunch of people. Sixth, he was feeling kind of sore.
He walked out. No one was there. He passed his fingers through his hair and shivered. He imagined Elincia and her soft hands rubbing his body. Fiercely he shook his head to stop the memory from reproducing. Seventh, he had left the Queen of Crimea alone after intimating with her. 'Great going, Boyd. If something happens to her, who are they going to blame? You of course!'Eighth, the Queen of Crimea is Ike's one true love… 'Over kill, anyone?'
"Boyd!"
Boyd's blood dropped from his head to his feet. Slowly he turned around to face Ike. His sword was tucked away and he didn't look mad…
"….yeah…" Boyd barely managed to say while thinking to himself, 'I am such a dead man…'
"Have you seen Titania? I need to talk to her."
Boyd shook his head, "Nope. I haven't got a clue as to where she is."
Ike nodded, "Oh, okay, thanks…" he said continuing forward.
Boyd sighed in relief but nearly chocked when Ike called him again.
"By the way, I heard from Jill that she had seen Mist crying. You might want to go check on her…unless youthe one to hurt her…"
Boyd shook his head, "I wasn't…"
Ike nodded, "Okay, good…"
Boyd turned around and ran for his life…
***
Ninth, if by any chance of luck he survived an attack by Ike (unlikely), Geoffrey would certainly not miss, so he figured that he was dead no matter what. He was now walking aimlessly not knowing what do. Suddenly he dropped to the floor. Geoffrey was with a girl he didn't immediately recognize. Slowly he crawled passed them, not wanting to face him.

"Boyd, can I speak with you?"
He restrained himself from jumping out of his seat, a rock. He turned around as he stood up and faced Elincia. He simply nodded.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking…"
Boyd raised a hand, "Don't worry, Queen Elincia. I'm confused about the situation myself…
She sighed, "Have you been able to talk to Mist?"
"I tried but…it didn't go well…"
Elincia lowered her head, "I really am sorry…"
Boyd sighed for what seemed like the millionth time in the day, "Forgive me Queen but may I leave your side for a moment?"
Elincia nodded.

Oscar dropped his knife. "You did what?!"
"Shhh!" Boyd hissed, "Do you want someone to hear us?"
"What the hell were you thinking?" Oscar whispered harshly.
"I wasn't…"
"No sh…"
"You did what?!"
Both brothers turned around to face Rolf who has completely shocked.
"How long have you been listening?" Boyd asked, scared.
"Since the beginning…"
"Rolf! That's rude!"
"How could you be so stupid, Boyd?" the little sniper shouted.
"Rolf, watch your language." Oscar said, picking up the knife and pointing at his brothers.
"Damn it, I need advice!"
"Boyd!"
"What?"
"The language…"
"There are more important things to discuss than my foul language."
"Discuss?" Rolf yelled, "There's nothing to discuss. You messed up and big time."
"Rolf, it isn't your place to judge others." Oscar said, then he turned to Boyd, "The only option you have is to find her and apologize. That's it."
"Ike's going to kill you…" Rolf said.
Boyd banged his head on the counter, "I know that…"
"No one's going to kill you."
"I doubt that." Rolf sat down.
"You're not helping." Oscar glared at Rolf.
"Neither of you are helping, actually." Boyd said with his head still on the counter.
"What do you want me to do Boyd? Should I go back in time to stop you?"
"That would be so cool!" Rolf said.
"It would…" Boyd said miserably.
Oscar placed the knife on the counter once more. "I can't do it…"
Boyd groaned.
"I'll ask Uncle Shinon for advice…" Rolf said as he got off the stool.
Boyd's head jerked up, "You wouldn't dare…"
"Why not? He knows…"
"NO, ROLF!" Oscar interrupted. "You will tell no one."
"But uncle Shinon…"
"I SAID NO!"
"Keep it down, Oscar…" Makalov said as he entered. The three brothers turned to face him but only Boyd looked at him with fear in his eyes. Makalov was now walking to one of the pots, "I'm just going to get some food and I'll leave."
Oscar stepped in front of him, "Sorry Makalov. You'll have to wait until dinner."
"Oh come on. I just want a little."
Oscar shook his head, "No…"
Boyd banged his fists on the counter. "Forget it. I'm leaving."
"Boyd, wait!" Oscar yelled.
The Reaver did not bother to turn around.
Tenth, he had really liked being with Elincia…
Sorry R.K. but a FE10 story cannot be complete without Boyd's awesomeness.
