Roy and Riza walked down the path, finally escaping the crowds in the Armstrong mansion. It was nice to finally escape all the glitz and glamour of that ballroom, and although they were happy for their good friend Alex on his birthday, they just weren't that convinced of the fuss caused of these elegant parties.

The cool air was welcomed by the couple, who sighed, glad to have escaped the room full of people who just stared at them, going 'awwww' at even the slightest contact they made with each other. They assumed that these people were the 'royai' fan club founded by Alex. Sure that Maes had got his fill of 'royai' eye candy, they had managed to slip away as everyone started to get a little tipsy. The gravel crunched beneath their feet as they walked in perfect unison past the fountain.

"You look beautiful tonight" Roy broke the companionable silence that had fallen, turning to Riza with a smile.

"and might I say you look handsome yourself, sir" she said with a nod. Roy frowned.

"You don't have to call me sir when were alone, you know that" he said, stepping in front of her and wrapping his arms around her waist.

"that's because were not alone" Riza chuckled and slid her arms around his neck in turn as the click of a camera sounded.

"Maes!" Roy growled "Why are you spying on us?!" Roy turned on his heel to face the black haired man hiding in the bushes behind them.

"damn" Riza heard Maes mutter, and she laughed again, finding the whole matter quite amusing.

A leaf covered, sheepish looking Maes emerged from a nearby bush, wielding his camera.

"I'm sorry Roy..." he looked guilty, before blurting out "When are you going to-!" he practically shouted, stopping when Roy covered Hughes' mouth with his hand.

Riza cocked her head inquisitively. Now she was curious. Roy just smiled at her, taking her hand and walking off, leaving Maes to trudge back inside.

"Riza?" he asked, nervous suddenly.

"yes, are you alright?" asked Riza, confused on what was going on.

"yes! yes I'm fine, It's just..." he took a deep breath "um, well, Riza, I hope you know how much I love you." He had stopped now, beside a pond with drooping willow trees contrasting against the bright full moon behind them. He turned to face her. Riza nodded for him to continue.

"OK, so... we've known each other for so long, and been through hell. I know that both of us think that we don't deserve happiness, but after what we've been through, I think that it is only fair that we try and find some condolence in each other. We have always had an attachment, a bond that draws us together, a loyalty that we share for each other. I love you Riza, and ultimately, in my heart, you are my essence. S-so... would you do me the honour, and..." he knelled in front of the blonde, the love of his life.

"of marrying me?" he almost whispered, pulling out a golden ring. The ring was a simple band, but was beautiful all the same. It had swirling silver patterns, hoisting an emerald in the centre. All she could do was nod profusely and practically jump on him when he raised from the ground. They were both grinning like maniacs, and tears welled up in her eyes. She wasn't one to express her emotions, but this moment, and of course only Roy could do this, she made an acceptance. Tears of joy started to fall down her cheeks and she watched as he slid the ring on her wedding finger, she knew that she wanted to spend the rest of the life with this man, she knew that he was her attachment, her essence.

A/N I really hope you likes it and once again please check my other stuff out, thanks for reading, Dreamy, xxx
