Riza was in the kitchen, looking at her reflection in her cup of was thinking about what happed eariler in the could he think that he could do something to stop Scar in the rain?He was useless when it was so scared that he was going to be killed. Rixs heard the door open then stood up and walked to the door frame of the kitchen.

'There she is.' He thought as he saw her standing in the door frame of the kitchen. He couldn't help bit think she looked absolutely gorgous like this,Not worried but hated to see her worried, especially worried about him.

'Why does he have that stupid grin on his face? Probably becase he knows I'm furious,She thought, looking at the silly grin plastered on his if he knew it made him look even more guilty?She waled a bit closet to Roy, no smile on her face.

They both tried to talk at the same sighed and gave him a gesture to thought for a moment about what to closed his eyes, feeling butterflies in his was more nerve racking than talking to the Generals and the Furhrer about he opened his eyes, he was ready to saw the anger and worry in her eyes, which made him feel worse.

"Well...?"She said in an expecting, frustated tone.

"I forot that it was raining. I was over confident and was thinking that I would be able to stop his alchemy is mostly based on close range and mine on long range."Roy explained to her what was going through his mind at that moment.

Riza's fists were clinched at her sides, her eyes glaring holes in him."You forgot?Didn't youthink there was a reason you were soaking wet?Even if it wasn't raining , he was fast enought ot get to you before you could need to think about what could I wasn't there..."She stopped to calm hersefl down.

Roy sat her hesitaiton and took a step closer to her, but she backed away."Riza...I know what I did was stupid and dangerous."Roy took her fisted hand in his,She wanted to pull her hand away but didn' really wasnted to fall in his arms and cry her eyes out at the very thought of him she wouldn't, not was more angry at him.

"Do you in all honesty only think about yourself?What about Maes and the rest of the men at office."She was shaking, her eyes were staring at the floor.

Roy felt more guilty now than before, He hated seeing her in this pulled her into his arms, holding her to his chest."Riza, I'm I am."

Riza pulled herself away from him quickly and glared angrily at him."If you were truely sorry you wouldn've thought about how dangerous he easily, how quickly he could've killed you."She was shaking again, more from rage than sadness.

He stared at her in disbelief for a could she only care about his life?"Are you serious?And what if I was behind you somewhere?What if he got to you vefore anyone could move?"

"Don't you dare turn this around."Riza made her even more angry when he didn things like this."That's an 'what if,' I said could've easily happened to you."

"It could've easily happened to you too."
