Authors Note: This is rated M for Lemons in later chapters. I don't know the whole story of Riza and her father but I found the information at .com/wiki/Riza_Hawkeye. I've never been to a real strip club either so I just let my imagination go about movie I've seen. Hope you like.

Ch 1

Invitation

Late in the week Riza Hawkeye had been watching as her supervisor Roy Mustang, flirt and sway the hearts of young girls as they presented to him their gifts the day before Valentines. She too had received some valentines from friends and admirers. How she had wished to be one of those girls; she new he had a way with words and that the looks in his eyes where not that of love but that of admiration and pride.

Mustang, such a big headed, smug … gentlemen, sometimes, he confused her but all at once she secretly and deeply desired him. Riza joined the military for a sole purpose. There was someone she needed to protect, and that someone was Roy. After her father's death and she had entrusted the secret of fire alchemy to Roy, her feelings towards their long friendship had began to change within her. She found herself hiding her blushing face whenever, on the rare occasion, he daydreamed in his office. This was one of the many things he did while he tried to avoid his paper work and recently he had been found daydreaming more often, she often wondered what about.

After sometime of word exchange between the colonel and one of his lady staff, she once again found him daydreaming. He had already finished his paper work, early to her surprise but she couldn't help but watch his features as he gazed into space in silence. She realized small hairs spiking from him chin.

"Looks like you need to shave sir," she quietly broke the silence, he did not reply.

Falmen entered the room with a big smile on his face.

"Colonel!" he exclaimed, breaking Roy's trance.

"What is it?"

"Tomorrow's Valentines, so the guys where wondering, being a Sunday with us not having to work and all, maybe you'd like to come with us to that new club for a little R&R?" Roy's face twisted with surprise.

"You're asking me to a strip club?" his unexpected blunt reaction made Riza's heart skip a beat. Lt. Havoc was standing in the door way smoking and smiling.

"I told you there's no point in asking him. This is Mustang we're taking about he wouldn't be interested." Falmen ignored the interference.

Mustang looked down at his pen and thought about it for a moment.

"Well I guess it is Valentines." Both officers exchanged interested grins and Hawkeye slightly glared at her boss.

"Sure I guess, I haven't done so in a while, might be interesting."

Both male officers smiled big, as if they had been planning something of mischief between them, this made Riza nervous.

"A strip club sir?" she verified.

"Sure why not? Hey if you're not doing anything you should come with us," pressed Havoc.

"Me?" questioned the blond, "you really think I would enjoy something like that?"

"If not you can go, we won't force you to stay," finished Roy. Riza thought about it for a moment, trying to imagine Mustang drunk and gawking over the girls, the image was easier then she had thought and a little amusing at that.

"I guess I'll come along. What time?"

Mustang turned his full attention to Riza.

"I'll pick you up around 7:00 and don't worry about the coast okay."

It was more of a demand then a request, and she warmly smiled at his generous offer. Falmen and Havoc exchanged looks.

"See you guys there around 7:30 then," finished Falmen.

When they left the room Riza looked to Roy.

"Their up to something," she mumbled to him.

"Maybe, but I'm sure it's nothing we can't handle as adults."

"Looks like it's time to go home for the night."

"Then I'll see you at 7:00"
