Very short chapter, it's awkward to have my brother watching me type from behind my back... Yeah I'm addicted to this song called Boats and Birds by Gregory and the Hawk, it's a beautiful song and I listened to it the whole time I typed this out. I think it deserves to be the title of the chapter just for that.

The song that Mustang is humming in the end is this song, its about two lovers. One saying that she'll be anything and do anything for the person she loves, even if he wants to leave she'll still love him and wait for him to come back. It's such a sweet song about love and it doesn't have to apply to boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, it could be parental if you listen to it close enough.

So yes, I'm way calm right now so this chapter has a nice ending. Me and Ed you for all the favs and reviews! Please give me more ^^

"If you be my star

I'll be your sky

You can hide underneath me and come out at night

When I turn jet black and you show off your light

I live to let you shine

I live to let you shine..."~Boats and Birds

Boats and Birds

"Edward?" Mustang asks, his voice trying not to shake in terror. I look up at him weakly, gaze unfocused as I watch the room around me blur and spin.

"It hurts." I whimper, all the strength in my body has ebbed away, leaving me weak and drained on the floor. I can't even sit up; the only thing I can do is cry out in pain and let my body shake. I feel Mustang's hands gently lifting my shirt up, carefully examining the bleeding stab wound.

"I'll be back; I need to stitch this up before you lose too much blood." I nod slightly and feel my stomach twinge painfully. Before I can throw up blood onto the bathroom floor he holds my limp body up and holds me over the toilet. My body suddenly goes painfully tense and blood runs from my mouth like and endless torrent. My heads spinning and the world seems to have gotten this strange white tint to it.

"Don't pass out Ed, you'll be okay." Mustang's voice sounds from somewhere far away. As soon as I'm done throwing up he sets me down on the floor, covering me with a towel. I hear his footsteps rush down the hall to where he keeps the first aid kit in the kitchen.

I whimper and close my eyes, my whole body feels like someone's smashed me then broken the pieces again and again. I can barely smell Mustang's comforting scent over the metallic smell of blood, but I know he's there. His warm hands brush over the skin on my left shoulder, cleaning the cut up and preparing it to be stitched up.

"Edward are you okay?' He asks as he begins stitching the wound up. I raise my head weakly and shake my head. I feel somewhat numb; I can't feel the pain of having the open cut sown up.

"Do you know your name?" Mustang flips me onto my back when he's done, carefully taking my pants off so I'm just lying on the bathroom floor in my underwear.

"Edward Elric." I rasp, voice thin and weak. I feel like passing out, my eyes are closing slowly without me having any control. I feel Mustang lift me up in his arms, carrying me to my bedroom probably.

"Good, how old are you?" I feel my body being lowered onto the bed. He's propping my feet up on a couple pillows, taking my shoes off as well.

"Fifteen." I whisper, breathing fast as I open my eyes. Mustang looks down at me, concern in his eyes. He tucks a blanket around me and begins to gently rub his hand on my chest, trying to stop my rapid breathing.

"Take deep breaths okay?" He takes a deep breath in and lets it out and I copy him, my body is relaxing slowly as I continue to take deep breaths.

"I'm thirsty." I whimper, breathing better now. Mustang looks at me and sighs, resting his hand on my head for a brief second.

"Your in shock right now, I can't give you anything but I can rub water or ice on your lips if you want. It'll help." I nod at that, and he leaves the room, returning with a small glass of ice water. He takes an ice cube out and runs it over my lips, letting some of the liquid drop into my mouth. Just that little bit of moisture makes me feel better and I let out a sigh.

"Do you feel better now?" Mustang asks, sitting next to me on the bed, ice cube melting slowly in his hand. I smile and nod, taking his other hand and holding it close. Ever so gently he lifts me from the bed, holding me in his arms, making calm flow through me.

"Can I sleep, I feel better really." My voice sounds stronger than before but it's still shaking with exhaustion. He smiles slightly and nods, gently humming a song. It's not my mother's song but it has a nice tune.

"If you start feeling sick tell me okay?" I nod and bury my head in his chest, listening to him singing in a low voice. I can hear some of the words but not all of them, but I can tell from the words that the songs about two people and kinda sounds like a sad love song.

It gives me good dreams as I fall asleep in Mustang's arms, calm and peaceful.

"But you can skyrocket away from me

And never come back if you find another galaxy

Far from here with more room to fly

Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

Stardust to remember you by..."

More Boats and Birds, it suits this story in my eyes. Cause Mustang loves Ed like a SON, he's not a damn child molester and stuff. Sorry people who love yaoi, in my mind a 30 year old loving a 15 year old is considered molestation.

If you call this yaoi you will be stabbed to death with a plastic spoon, then I shall have my kitty Herman eat all your strawberries (yes I know you all love strawberries ^^)
