Author's Note: YEA! My very fist Royai drabble! Took the theme from a list of themes so lets see how it goes. Please go eay on me though. First off, I'm only going by the Adult Swim schedule, so I'm pretty behind in the series compared to everyone... Sadness. Anyway, here goes!
Disclaimer: I don't own the FMA characters.
099. "Welcome home"
Roy Mustang never really thought about what it would be like to have a family of his own. At least he rarely did. He seemed to alway be busy with work... making his way to top... the Elric brothers. You would think that with a best friend like Mes Hughes, having a family and living a very content life, Roy would consider it, but it never crossed his mind. He grew up with a caring family and content childhood... something he wanted to provide for a family of his own if he were to have one. Unfortunately, that would be a bit difficult when your goal is to make it all the way to the top. So many times he had been told to find himself a wife, to settle down and realx a little by Maes, but no one knew he already had that half way planned. Not a family plan, but to some day claim the woman he loved properly... when it was the right time any way.
"So, what did he say to get you do riled up?" Mustang glanced over his shoulder at his subordinate, Riza Hawkeye, who had just made a smart remark about him taking out his anger on the phone, and was now curious on why he had. He straightened up and regained his composure, looking over at the phone.
"He gave me some important information... and suggested I find myself a wife." he answered and looked over at her. "Course we both kow thats going to have to hold off for a little while longer." he said with a slight smile and she nodded. Neither of them had time for marriage, though they never discussed it in a serious manner, only assumed it. At least Hawkeye never took him seriously when it came to marriage any way. He had once told her that when he became Furher, he'd marry her, and knowing that she never took him seriously, there were random times where he'd continue to bring this promise up.
Now a days, things were different. They had both made changes for the better. A family was something they both treasured... Their family was something they both treasured. There were times that Roy would find himself watching his wife and one year old son sleeping, the child curled up close to his mother with his thumb in his mouth and clenching onto his mother's shirt for security. Then there were those times after work, he'd come home and would watch with pride as his son would crawl around on floor after Black Hayate, unaware of the world around him, yet trying to discover it. He made a mental note to make sure the boy would never have to see or experience half the things he had before turning and finding Riza leaning in the doorway and watching him with a smie. He would return the smile before looking back over at their son. The human life they had created together and treasured. It was something even alchemy couldn't explain. This was his family. Something he desired without realizing, something he loved unconditionally and would die for. His family.
