Just A Second
Roy..." Riza said softly and in a moment's time, everything shattered and went dark.
A Few Minutes Before
Sounds of fighting could be heard thought the home of Fuhrer King Bradley. The same home Co. Roy Mustang was invading to confront the Fuhrer. A large battle erupted. Both parties getting badly injured. Roy stumbled out of the home. He squinted his black eyes and saw into the distance a figure running towards him. He listened.
"Mustang!" The figure shouted. As it got closer, he saw it was his Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. She drew her gun and began firing at something behind him. She stopped running and looked. He fell to his knees watching her run to him.
"Mustang!" She yelled out. She continued running, recognizing Roy kneeling there. She got closer, gun fire all around them. She turned and fired once more, then continued to run to him. She reached him and fell into his arms
"Hawkeye." Roy wrapped his wounded arms around her. She buried her head into his chest, tears falling down her face.
"I thought you were dead." She cried. Roy pulled her closer.
"No, I wont leave you Riza." He said as she pulled back and looked up, her golden eyes looking dull.
"Riza, I need to tell you. Before we are separated again. I love you Riza. And I always have and always will." Roy held her tightly again.
"I love you... too." Riza said quietly. He pushed her back and leaned to kiss her. She stopped his lips with her hand. He looked at her funny, but his unasked question was soon answered when he saw a thin line of red escape her closed lips and slide down her chin. He held her chin and looked into her eyes which were now a dull gray.
"Riza." Roy began to cry as he looked down, seeing a blood stain on Riza's shirt. Directly in the middle of her chest. He looked back at her face, more blood escaped her lips as he lowered her to closer to the ground, allowing her to lay down. He pulled his hands off of her back and saw they were covered in blood. Riza's blood. Tears fell down Riza's cheek as she began to cough. Roy wiped the blood from her face with his sleeve.
"Riza. don't leave me. I need you." Tears formed in his eyes. Riza smiled.
"Take care of Black Hayate for me." She smiled and he smiled back.
"Yeah, anything for you Riza. Anything." Roy smiled as tears rolled down his cheek.
"Roy..." Riza said softly and in a moment's time, everything shattered and went dark. Her head turned away from him as she passed on. To a place with no war, no hate.
Two Weeks Later
Roy stood, arm in a sling, staring at a gray stone. Around him stood his co-workers and friends.
"Just a second more Riza. Just one more second and The bullet would have hit me, not you." Roy's eyes weld up with tears.
"It's gonna rain today." He said as he looked up at the blue sunny cloudless sky. He looked back down at the stone, and continued to cry silently.
"Fuhrer Mustang, we need to leave now sir. You have a meeting." A Major approached and assisted Roy back to the car as everyone else left the cemetery. Roy glanced once more at the stone. On it's face read...
