I wish you could look me in the eyes and be able to see what I am thinking without me having to say anything that I want to say to you.

Major General Armstrong walked out of Brigg's with her bags she was for Central. "I hate that damn place and now I have to deal with Mustangs ridiculous affairs, that man will not amount for anything "her tone was as cold and bitter as the wind.

By the time she reached the train station she was more pissed off than when she left her beloved Brigg's, the sheer thought of having to work with Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang made her blood boil, he was arrogant, annoying and is humour did nothing but make any situation worse. Olivier couldn't grasp the concept of how any one of his subordinates were so loyal. Specially that of Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye.

Olivier had offered Riza numerous times the opportunity to work at Brigg's so she can become the soldier Olivier knows she is capable of becoming but Riza turned her down every time saying that someone needs to keep Mustang inline, get him on top of his paper work and need's to protect him, that being one of the reasons why Olivier hated him so much, because a soldier of such promise was to focused on his carrier and not her own.

Riza looked up from her paper work to look at Mustang, "Colonel" she said looking back down at her work for just a moment, "Major General Armstrong is on her way from Brigg's she should be here within the next few hours, shouldn't you go meet her at the station".

"I can't" he said lying through his back teeth, "I need to complete these files"

"Still intimidated by her Sir?" her voice as flat and monotone as ever.

"No of course not" his voice wavered slightly giving him away," I just need to finish these files otherwise I will never get them done, besides I already organised for her to be met at the station" he quietly thought to himself 'I'll be cut to pieces if she finds out to soon why she's really here'.

Riza mildly amused by Mustangs previous statement "Who is picking her up then Sir"

"You are Lieutenant" had a smirk on his face that Riza really wanted to slap off.

The train pulled into Central station

Olivier still not amused by having to be here, she stepped off the train with her things.

"General!" a voice called from the crowed, looking around Olivier found where the voice had come from.

"Lieutenant, I thought Mustang would be here" her voice as icy and cold as ever.

"He had some important files to fill out so he sent me to come get you ma'am".

"Tsk, Mustang and paper work, that was really his excuse" she had one eye brow raised and a mildly amused tone in her voice , the kind of tone that most people would miss but Riza didn't miss a beat.

"Yes ma'am" she said as they walked toward the car, placing Olivier bags inside.

The drive was quite for a while until Olivier questioned Riza's reasons for working so closely with Mustang.

"So Lieutenant, why is it that you choose to work so closely with Mustang?, by staying by his side you aren't gaining the experience that your more than capable of getting, paper work is not the kind of experience you deserve, so why do you always refuse my offers to come work at Brigg's?"

For some reason Riza felt nervous about that question, she honestly didn't know why she kept refusing, she always linked it into wanting to help Mustang to the top but there was something more that was stopping her from accepting the job at Brigg's but she didn't quite understand what it was.

She looked into the rear-view mirror with her amber eye's "He is incapable of completing things on his own, he needs my help and support so I'm willing to give it" her reply was honest but something still stuck hidden in her word's, something she wasn't sure of herself, she didn't know how to answer fully why she couldn't accept the job at Brigg's.

"Do you love him?" Olivier's question was straight forward and out of the blue, her face was hard and her eye's icy.

"Excuse me", Riza sounded slightly shocked at the Generals question.

"I said do you love him Lieutenant, yes or no?" her voice was harder this time and her piercing blue eyes looking at Riza through the mirror made Riza feel unnerved and her heart stop for a moment.

"No ma'am, I have no interest in Colonel Mustang that way" Olivier's face lightened slightly at the response Riza had given her but she didn't know why that news made her happy to hear.

The rest of the car trip was spent in silence.

By the time they reached Central HQ it was mid afternoon, it was busy as usual, the men and woman carried on with their duties trying to get them all done so they could get the rest of the afternoon off to be with their partners, families or just to get some time to their selves.

Mustang sat half dosing at his desk when an abrupt banging came from his door, startling him and causing him to fall off his chair.

Olivier burst through the door, "Mustang" she yelled but was surprised when she couldn't see him.

"General...how nice to see you" a voice called from behind his desk on the floor, trying to recover from the mild heart attack the General had just given him.

"Why are you on the floor" her voice hard and unamused.

"Oh no reason, in particular" he said as he stood up from behind his desk, with a smirk on his face.

"Care to tell me why you requested me to come here", crossing her arms over her chest.

"Actually yes, I assume you thought you were brought here to do with files and a mission?"

"Yes why?" her tone of voice becoming more aggravated by the second.

"Well sorry to tell you this General but that's not the reason" a large grin came across his face." Your here because, you along with all the other officer must attend the Fuher's Ball".

She slammed her fist on the desk "You have to be kidding me, that's the only reason I was brought here was to attend a fucking Ball"

"Olivier, the Fuher knew the only way he could get you to come to Central was if it had something to do with a mission or important work, and by pretending that there was, you turned up, so since your here you might as well come." His grin grew wider "I can't wait to see you in a Ball Gown".

"Roy Mustang you better wipe that smile off your face before I send you crashing through that wall, I will not be attending the ridicules Ball, it's a waste of my time".

"Come now Olivier it will be fun, besides who wouldn't want to spend an evening with a man like me" His smile grew wider, oh how he loved to torment Olivier even though she did scare the shit out of him at times.

"Who would want to spend the evening with a man like you or even 10 minutes for that fact, I am not going to that fucking Ball and that's final" without another word she stormed out of Mustangs office leaving an icy wake behind her.

'All this way for a ridiculous Ball, where everyone acts all kiss ass to the higher ups and the woman act all damn feminine and having to be polite to those old perverted men who have no interest in your rank, just your rack' she thought to herself as she stormed down the hall's not paying attention to who was coming around the same corner that she was going around.

-Thud as the General and the other personnel collide, paper flying all over the hall –

As the General was about to curse to all hell to who ever had bumped into her and made her mood worse, her eyes opened only to have Blue eyes lock onto Amber.

"My apologies General I wasn't paying attention" it wasn't till Riza began to speak Olivier realized how close their face were and whom she had bumped into.

Olivier felt slightly flawed at how close Riza was and took a step back, she looked around her to see all the papers everywhere, knowing full well that the accident was partly her fault, the rant she was going to give was going to blame the other person completely, until she opened her eyes to see who it was.

"At ease Hawkeye" Olivier bent down to pick up one of the documents, only to read it was the list of every officer that was to attend the Ball, she frowned at the sight of her name ticked on the list.

Olivier practically chucked the paper at Riza still disgusted with the idea of having to wear a dress and socialize with men that were far more interested in the view than in the history of one's job.

Riza had finished picking up the other papers at that point and grabbed and looked at the document that had been flung into her face almost.

"The Ball list" she said raising her eyebrows, noticing all the names written on it, "I take it your attending General". Olivier scoffed and folded her arms "Apparently" her reply sarcastic.

"I look forward to seeing you there then ma'am" Riza giving a small smile and walking off leaving a slightly put off Olivier standing there.

It was a day until the Ball and Olivier was still not happy with the idea of having to attend, she finally broke after the thousandth time one of the higher ups asked her too attend, plus the annoying begging of Mustang telling her to go started to piss her off so she finally gave in.

Every Officer in Central HQ couldn't stop raving on how much they were looking forward to the Ball, but Olivier couldn't think of anything worse, so every time someone brought it up she would vacate the room.

Nothing made it worse than when Mustang brought it up just to piss her off and see her temper flare. Riza began to notice this and even she started to find it mildly annoying though she said nothing.

It was 10 pm and Olivier was still working in her office, most had already left for home, she was surprised to hear a knock on her door at this time of the evening.

"Enter" her voice made it clear she was focusing on one of the papers in front of her.

The door opened and closed quietly and footsteps made their way toward her desk.

Olivier looked up to see Riza standing with a set of papers in her hand.

"Lieutenant I thought, Mustang let you off early today?" looking back down at her papers that she went to sign.

"He did ma'am but I had more important things to do, that and I had some papers I needed to deliver to you but I had no time earlier in the day".

Riza placed them on the desk and stepped back, Olivier stood up grabbing the papers and flicking through them her face went from unmoved to surprised.

"These are Transfer papers" she smirked slightly.

"Yes ma'am" Riza's heart was beating at a thousand miles an hour. "With your permission I would like to take up a position at Brigg's" her voice wavered slightly giving her nerves away.

Olivier's harsh eyes went from the papers to Riza and they softened slightly

"Are you sure you want to do this Riza?" Olivier unsure why she used the Lieutenant's first name," Brigg's will be one of the hardest places you will ever work at, but your experience will be unmatched by any soldier in Central and I can offer you many opportunities, but it won't be easy".

Olivier placed the papers down on the desk and walked around so she was standing in front of Riza. "Are you sure you this is what you want" placing a hand on Riza's shoulder, looking her in the eyes. Olivier was surprised how much this small amount of contact made her feel, she could have sworn she felt something in her heart skip for the smallest of seconds but she shook it off because she was made of ice...wasn't she?.

Olivier had removed her hand at which point Riza smiled and her reply was quite playful and teasing almost sarcastic "Ma'am if I didn't want the transfer, do you think I would have filed for one? Olivier smirked and laughed slightly, she gave Riza a look that made Riza's heart skip and her stomach role over. "I didn't know subordinates were allowed to use sarcasm on their superiors "Olivier's voice was surprisingly soft and almost playful.

For some reason not known to Riza she blushed slightly but she tried her best to hide it but she could see that Olivier had noticed it buy the slightly mischievous look in her eye. Olivier moved and sat back behind her desk crossing her legs and leaning back in her chair, looking back at the Lieutenant.

"What made you change your mind after all this time to take the transfer" Olivier's voice quite serious now.

Riza stood there for a moment thinking about why she filed for transfer, she then came up with her answer. "For the better experience" she paused "And I found someone else I want to follow"

The second part made the same thing happen to Olivier's heart but before Olivier could sit and think about why, Riza spoke up again "If you willexcuse me ma'am but I'm going home for the night, it's going to be a long day tomorrow". Olivier nodded and Riza turned to walk out the door.

"Riza!" Olivier called as she reached the door, "I'll see you at the Ball". Riza smiled and left, leaving Olivier to ponder over her reactions, but she wasn't the only one unsure of what they had just experienced. There were too many questions and not enough answer.

It was the night of the Ball, the room was filled with Officers, the men in their black suits and the woman in all different types of dresses and gowns. Everyone was socializing and chatting away looking as if they were having a good time. Except for one General who was wearing a dark blue dress made from satin, it complimented her eyes and figure, she sat at her table with a glass of wine with a cold expression on her face.

She heard a familiar man's voice "Oh my god, Olivier Mira Armstrong, I didn't think I'd see the day"

Mustang came out of the crowed with the biggest grin on his face, followed by a young blonde.

"Mustang, what do you want" her tone of voice far from welcoming.

"Oh nothing, I thought I would just check to see if you turned up" as he gave her a wink.

Olivier temper began to rise at the man in front of her making her oblivious to the young blonde next to him until she spoke up "Can you go get us some drinks" she said directing it at Mustang Olivier then recognizing who the young woman was. Mustang frowned but kindly agreed but not before he gave Olivier a toothy grin "Don't forget you have to dance Olivier". Riza pushed him away before a wine glass could was picked up and thrown towards his head.

Riza walked over to the seat next to Olivier and sat down.

"You look beautiful tonight Riza" Olivier not realizing what she had said until after she said it.

Riza gave Olivier a smile "As do you"

A small awkward silence fell over them; neither of them knowing what to say.

"Does Mustang know about the transfer" Olivier piped up out of nowhere, her eyes fixated on the red wine in her glass.

"No ma'am" before she could say anything else Olivier jumped in "Please call me Olivier, just for tonight at least".

Riza smiled "Olivier it is then".

By which time Mustang had turned up with what seemed like the whole bar selection of wine and spirits.

"What's all this" Olivier inquired mildly amused at the amount of alcohol placed in front of them.

"Well I figured because you're soooooooo...grumpy the only way to get you to loosen up is alcohol" as he opened what looked like a good bottle of scotch.

"So I'm assuming the whole point of this little exercise of yours is to get me drunk?" Roy let out a hearty laugh "Yep that's the plan" as he placed a glass of scotch in front of her.

As the drinks rolled in and the night rolled on conversation started to build, Roy got distracted by some of the younger female officers leaving Riza and Olivier to converse.

Olivier laughed while stretching "I might go for some fresh air" as she stood she then realised just how much she had to drink as the room swayed slightly causing Olivier to almost giggle.

Riza laughed at Olivier face as she first stood up "I'll come with you".

They made their way to the back door that led to the courtyard their hands touched slightly causing Olivier to look where her hand was, but she just laughed and kept walking, concentrating on where she was stepping due to her heels .

Olivier opened the door and waited for Riza to step out, Riza giggled and with a mischievous look on her face she passed through the door "Such a gentlewoman" she called to Olivier as she stepped out into the fresh air, making Olivier burst into a barking laugh.

The air was fresh and the sky was clear and it made the atmosphere light and playful (along with the amounts of alcohol consumed). As they walked down the steps that lead to the garden, Riza tripping on one of them causing her to almost fall on Olivier, this made both of them burst out into laughter, in the end giving them the idea that taking their heels off would be a smart idea and leaving them on the top of the steps for when they get back from there walk.

As they grew silent and the laughter died down. Olivier began to think about her previous reactions to the young Lieutenant, why she was so sure her heart had skipped almost when she touched Riza's shoulder, or whenever she received a small compliment, why she couldn't help but call her by her first name and of all things why was it that she found something so welcoming about her presents. Olivier knew something was changing in her but she didn't understand fully what, she was ice, she was cold, she couldn't melt due to one person could she, it's never happened before so why now.

Olivier wasn't the only person who was pondering her feelings, there was something about the Major General that all of a sudden Riza wanted nothing more but to be in her presence, she felt safe, she made her blush for reasons un-none to herself. What had changed for her?

Then it hit Olivier like a tune of bricks when they reached a large closed in gazebo surrounded by flowers and tree's she looked at Riza. Her Icy-Blue eyes locking with Amber. They were both thinking, both wanting to know what to do, both wanting the other to see what they wanted in there eye's without having to saying anything.

As Riza took a step forward and moved in closer to Olivier but they were interrupted by a loud drunken voice that sounded allot like Roy Mustang. Riza immediately pulled away and Mustang arrived staggering around the corner.

"I've been looking for you two...it...it's time for us to leave, the cars...innn the drive way".

"I'm leaving with Alex back to the Mansion what are you talking about" Olivier annoyed at the intrusion.

"Yoouuuuuur brother has so kindly offered me and Riza to stay the night in...THE Mansion" he said giving a thumbs up and a cheesy smile.

"Oh lovely" her voice sarcastic.

"See I told Alex you would be happy" he smiled "Come on lets go" as he swivelled on his heels almost falling over.

Riza walked over and helped balance the highly intoxicated Mustang as they walked to the car to avoid any unwanted accidents, us much as Olivier would have loved to have seen him fall on his face.

By the time they arrived at the Armstrong Mansion it was midnight and Mustang had completely passed out leaving Alex to carry him into one of the many spare room's. Riza helped take care of Mustangs belongings once Alex had placed him into bed. By the time it was 12:30 everyone had gone to separate rooms and gotten changed for the night to sleep. Olivier couldn't sleep she tossed and turned wanting to know more to what Riza was going to do, there were too many unanswered questions and what made it harder was knowing that the one woman with the answers was in the room directly across from her.

Olivier finally gave up on sleep she just sat up in her bed staring through the window not knowing if she should go see the other woman, but she had no idea that Riza was thinking the same thing. The clock's hand seemed to go slower and drag on and on, it felt like 2 hours had gone but it was only 12:45 and only 15 minutes had passed.

Olivier finally snapped, she slipped out of her bed leaving her room and knocking on the bedroom door across from her. To her surprise the door opened almost straight away and Riza stood there in a long white top and black underwear.

"Olivier, is everything alright?" she stepped aside allowing Olivier to walk in closing the door behind her.

"I need to talk to you, about earlier tonight" Riza began to worry and automatically began to apologies "I'm sorry, I don't know what made me want to do what I was going to do and I.. "Riza was silenced buy one of Olivier's finger placed on her lip's to hush her.

Oliver smiled and her eye's shone in the moon light coming in from the window and placed a hand on Riza's cheek caressing it and she gently moved a piece of hair behind Riza's ear and out of her face.

To Olivier's surprise it was Riza who made the first move and quickly closed the distance between them, lips crashing against each other, the kiss was surprisingly soft and Olivier's plump lips made it nothing more than pure magic, suddenly she deepened the kiss grabbing Riza by the waist and wrapping her arms around her, Riza tentatively wrapping her arms around Olivier's neck.

Riza tongue brushing against Olivier's lower lip, wanting entrance begging for it, she obliged allowing Riza's tongue to slip into her mouth, both fighting for dominance. A small moan found its way to Riza's lips when Olivier's hands had wondered to her backside and were groping her.

Riza bit down lightly on Olivier's lower lip and then made her way around to Olivier's neck, kissing and sucking every inch of her neck, making her way down to Olivier's collar bone causing her to gasp slightly. They fell onto the bed with Riza lying perfectly on top of Olivia she changed her position and started straddling her.

Olivier pulled off Riza's shirt exposing her firm breasts, the cool air hardening her nipples; Olivier kissed down her neck, finding every sensitive spot every area that would make Riza gasp or moan. She found her way down to her breast and fondled them, taking a nipple into her mouth and grazing her teeth lightly over the top, sucking and teasing it.

Riza then pushed her down, unbuttoning Olivier's shirt as she lay flat on her back kissing her at every spot of newly exposed skin. She started to tease Olivier's nipples sucking on them; Olivier let out a gasp and moaned as she felt Riza bite down on her left nipple and her hand playing with the inside of her thigh nearing her burning crotch.

Riza slipped her fingers between the wet fabric and into the moist folds nearing Olivier entrance, the lack of pressure was enough to drive Olivier mad, but the sudden deep thrust of Riza's fingers caused her to moan out. Riza gave and completely removed Olivier's underwear along with her own, grinding against Olivier. She then began to rub Olivier's clit, harder and fast, the small moans getting louder as the intensity built in her groan, as Olivier was close to her peak Riza would stop rubbing for a few second's then bring her to the edge again then stop for even longer she kept doing this until Olivier was throbbing, wanting to cum so much, when Riza finally granted Olivier her release, Olivier moaned out and was seeping wet.

She took Riza by the hips and lifted her putting her onto her back, kissing her hard on the lips than all the way down her chest and stomach. She reached Riza's inner thighs and Riza spread her leg's out to grant Olivier entrance, she didn't expect to feel Olivier's tongue enter her suddenly, she gasped out as she felt her tongue in and out of her, Oliver then licked over her entrance then slowly up over her clit and back down again, she performed this several times before Riza tangled her hand in Olivier's hair wanting more.

Olivier continued licking her clit and when Riza was close to her climax her hips bucking upward Olivier slipped a finger into Riza's entrance causing her to cum hard, but Olivier didn't stop there, she liked and rubbed every tremor out of Riza, causing her to moan out load and squirm with the intense pleasure.

They lay entangled in each other with a feeling of euphoria and complete comfort. That night was the first time the ice that lived in Olivier's heart had melted even though it was only slightly, but more importantly it was only for Riza to see. But there was one thing Olivier did know for sure, her nights at Brigg's would be far warmer if she had Riza in her arms at the end of the day.
