Roy Mustang grabbed an apple from the merchants cart.

"10 Drachma for a piece of fruit?" Riza rolled her eyes.

"If you don't want it, lets go already"

Roy stared at her,pleadingly. Riza looked away muttering, "Fine, fine,I'll buy it...just lemme get my change..."

She handed the money over to a very pleased merchant. He tipped his hat saying, "Have a nice day!"

Roy snickered earning a smack upside the head. "Seriously, Roy, your Furher now, can't you spare a little change?"

"Let me think...no", He grinned.

Riza sighed. "As you wish, all mighty and powerful Furher" Roy put his hands on the sides of his face as if meditating.

"I, the all knowing and seeing Furher, do so command you to...buy me things" Riza and Roy burst out laughing.

Riza smiled. "I see Ed has had his influence on you" Roy's smile faded a little.

"Yeah..."

"where's Fullmetal? Oh yeah he's probably waiting to rant at me again in my office, Havoc had better..."

"..."

"Hawkeye?"

"...Edward...isn't coming back, Roy..."

"...What did you say?"

He had been a little touchy around the subject of Edward Elric ever since he had died three years ago. Or everyone thought he had died. No one was really sure what had happened to Edward. Alphonse Elric had come back with his body intact but as a 10 year old child with no memory of their journey. Roy hadn't been to see him yet but they got letters and pictures which Riza insisted they be put in frames and placed in the living room.

"Mr. Mustang,You have a visitor.."

" ...'o 's it?"

"Riza Hawkye, sir"

"...'ome in.."

"Hey Roy..."

"..hi.."

"How are you feeling?"

" 'm fine. 's just my eye, have to wear an eye patch now.."

"...well, Im glad your alive at least"

"mm.."

"...Brought you something." Riza handed him an apple. "I know you like them" She smiled.

Roy fidgeted with the apple with his head lowered.

"He's not coming back, Roy..."

Roy looked at her as a single tear slipped from his eye.

"I know.."

Riza placed Roy's dinner in front of him as she said, "I made steak tonight all mighty Furher"

He smiled and did a mock bow. "Why thank you General Hawkeye"

"Just eat your dinner"

He laughed as he cut his steak.

You would not say Furher Mustang and General Hawkeye's relationship was romantic, although their subordinates would say otherwise.

They were more like "Friends-with-benifits" or so Havoc said.

One day, Jean Havoc strode down the hall looking exceptionally proud. He had just been promoted to Lieutenant.

He'd been to the market earlier that morning and had found "the nicest pair of brown leather gloves". He bought these gloves as a get-well gift for Roy Mustang. "He is a fan of gloves...", Havoc thought as he had handed over the money. They were indeed expensive.

He also thought that these would get him back on Mustang's good side after he had walked in to Roy's room and saw Riza and Roy holding hands.

After he had fawned over them about how cute they looked and how proud Hughes would be, Riza gladly shut him up by shoving his cigarette down his throat.

"Riza do we have to go again? We just went yesterday!", Roy whined.

Riza groaned in annoyance. "Roy. I told you, we have to stock up on some things before the prices get any higher."

"But, Im the fucking Furher! Do we really-"

"Roy. Shut up. Now."

Now what she was looking for should be around-

"HEY YOU BRAT! GET BACK HERE!"

Riza spun around to see a little blond boy running toward her with a jug of water in his hands. A scruffy man with barb wire tattoo's on his arm was chasing him, wielding a bat.

The boy slipped in a puddle and slammed into Roy's legs, the jug flying out of his hands and smashing to the ground. The man grabbed him by his arm and pulled him off the ground.

"You better be able to pay for that, boy!"

The boy shook his head vigorously and struggled to pull free of the man's grip. The man raised the bat and prepared to hit the boy with it. "Then you will pay with your-"

BAM

The wood split and the top half of the bat hung by a thread. The man looked at Riza , who had drawn her gun and shot the bat through the middle.

"Hey, you-"

"I think that is enough" , Roy stepped forward with his hand on his gun. The man's eyes widened.

"F-Furher Mustang! I-I was-This boy, he st-"

"I think were aware of that and if you don't want to be arrested, i suggest you scram" The man hastily let go of the whimpering boy and ran for it.

Roy sneered at him as he ran. "What a bastard.."

The boy stumbled to his feet and threw himself at Riza.

"Miss! Miss! Im sorry for stealing! Me and my friends is just so hungry! I-I can't find C-Charlie, he-he was supposed to help me but-"

Riza patted the boy on the head. "Ssh ssh, Did you lose your friends? Where are they supposed to be?"

"I-I don't know!", The boy sobbed into Riza's shirt.

"You have beautiful blond hair...", Riza said, patting his head. "Here let me look at you" She pried him away from her and Roy nearly dropped their groceries. "W-what the...i-i thought he-he was..", Roy said shakily. Riza stared at the boy. "Oh my God...", she whispered.

"Edward?", Roy croaked.

Oh snap. what have i done?
