A/N: My first RoyxRiza fic. Please pardon my poor English grammar. It's been a long time since I've written a fic. I think it's been two years now. Ha-ha. Well, I've been busy and my PC got busted so I don't have my own PC until now. So after reading your published works here in fanfiction, I got inspired to write again. I hope you will like this one. ^^

I Want My Mommy!!!
Chapter 1: An ordinary day…or is it?
The sun is shining, the birds are singing. It's a beautiful morning indeed and Riza Hawkeye is quite glad because of this peaceful day. Well, this peaceful moment, that will soon be shattered the moment she sets foot in their HQ office. Being the only girl to work under Colonel Roy Mustang, going to work requires a lot of sacrifice. With a bunch of wacky male co-workers plus a lazy, slack off superior; anything can go wrong.
It's not that she's weak or anything, she is known to be fierce and strict. Riza is a kind of military girl that people shouldn't be underestimating. Her officemates are quite afraid of her so whenever she's around they never tried to get her pissed.
And so, another ordinary day is here and Riza is ready to go into the battlefield, I mean in their office. There are lots of work to do, some paper to be signed, sorted and reviewed and some colonel to be watched upon. She is to make sure that Colonel Roy Mustang does his everyday work.
"Good morning Lieutenant" greeted Havoc as she enters their room.
"Good morning" she returned the greeting.
She sat down on her chair glancing upon everyone. The others are so busy in their work and as usual the Colonel is busy speaking on the phone.
"Of course. I will pick you up at 7 pm tomorrow ok? So where do you want to go?" said the colonel over the phone, then he laughs. "Come on, the opera? I'll take you to a place much better than that. Yes, somewhere we could have real fun" then he laughs again.
Riza can't believe it. He is using the military phone again for his personal escapades and he's displaying his perverted manner in their office…again. Well, thinking that immediate action should be done, she took a hold of her gun and clicks off its safety. She made sure that the colonel hears it.
As expected, the colonel turned pale and he abruptly says goodbye to that someone telling her that he has so many things to do. He hangs up and without looking at Riza, he continues or what it seems started his work. Riza sighs and she continues her work too. There are times that she could feel that the colonel is staring at her for some few seconds. She just brushes it off but sometimes she would glance at Roy too. He's really handsome indeed, that's why many woman falls for him and because of that charm of his, he got the title of being called a 'Playboy', 'Womanizer, 'Girlfriend stealer' and such things.
Yes, many women falls for him well, except her. She can't fall for someone like that.
"Lieutenant Hawkeye?"
Riza looks up to see Roy Mustang looking at her.
"Yes sir?"
"Its break time and I guess you'll like to have lunch with me… I mean us" he said with that smile on his face that took every woman's heart.
"No sir, I'm still busy and I guess you shouldn't be having a break." Riza stated while looking at the pile of documents and papers on the colonel's desk.
Then, she heard someone whistle behind her colonel.
"What is this? Is Chief asking Lieutenant Hawkeye out?" teases Havoc. He's grinning wide but his emotion suddenly changed to fear when he saw Riza glared at him.
"No, you're mistaken. I just thought that Lieutenant Hawkeye here…"
"I'm not hungry sir. So you can go have your break now. Just be sure to continue your work after your break or else" Riza said putting emphasis on the last word.
"Yes, of course." Said the colonel fear is obvious on his voice. He left with Falman, Havoc and Breda. She looked at Feury and asks "You're not going?"
"No. I want to finish my work so I can go home early." Feury answered. "My cousin's wife just had their baby this morning and I really want to see it today" he said while smiling sheepishly.
"You like kids?" asks Riza, amused of the new information she's having about one of her subordinates.
"Well, you can say that…" Feury said, embarrassed.
Riza just smiled. She loves kids too. When she was young and living with his father, she used to baby-sit their neighbors babies and kids. Outside, she looks very strict and stoic but deep inside; she really has a soft side. And Hayate is the only one who can see that.

Meanwhile, Mustang's group is having different conversations over lunch. They are seated in the middle of the military's cafeteria. As usual, the place is very crowded and noisy with some military boys goofing around.
Havoc, Breda and Falman are having an animated conversation on the types of girls they like to date and like to have someday as a wife. Roy never knew how the conversation of his subordinate came down to that. He's not paying too much attention to them and Havoc noticed it. He knew that their chief was acting strange the past few days.
"So, Chief, how about you?" asks Havoc talking about the conversation they are having.
"Huh?" Roy just said finally looking at the three.
"We want to know what type of girl you like." Breda said this time.
"My type of girl huh…hmmm…you should know what type of girl I like. Just look at those girls whom I've been dating!" said Roy then he began to laugh.
"Yeah right." Said Havoc, remembering the girls who dumped him just because of the so-called charismatic flame alchemist.
"Come on Havoc, you can still find other girls…just be sure they are not going to fall for me once they saw me." Roy said boasting again as usual.
Havoc grinned "well, yeah, I'm thinking about that…hmm… I might ask the lieutenant if she want to go out sometime"
At that moment, Roy choked on the coffee he's drinking. Falman who is sitting beside him pats his back while Havoc and Breda break out into peals of laughter.
Roy clears his throat before facing Havoc. "And what do you mean by that?"
"Well, lieutenant Hawkeye seems that she will never be interested in you and you just said I should look for a girl who will not fall for you. So I guess…" said Havoc in a matter of fact tone.
Roy fell silent for a while. That's when Havoc eyed the other two, a playful grin forming on his face.
They knew he was only bluffing about Lieutenant Hawkeye, he was just teasing the colonel and he want to see what he's reaction's going to be. The four of them (including Feury) knew about their colonel's problem and the reason why he was acting strange the past few days. They are wondering if the colonel is just full of pride, dating all the pretty girls he laid his eyes upon on, despite the fact that the person he really like is always with him.
Their break time finished after a while and they made sure that their chief returns to their office on time or else.

After the very long day at work, Riza is a bit glad that the day is over. She's so tired and all she want is to have a hot shower and lie down on her bed. But he still has to feed Hayate and clean some of his mess. She decided to walk on her way home tonight instead of taking a car. The night sky is full stars and the moon is so bright and she love glancing at those twinkling stars. As a child, she always accompany her mother whenever she goes stargazing. She remembers that they always name the constellation they knew. She smiles, reminiscing those moments then she feels a bittersweet feeling. Looking again at the start studded dark sky, she search for those constellations.
She suddenly heard some noise behind her, without warning, she drew out her gun and aim at that someone who made the noise.
"Whoa. Easy there lieutenant." Said Roy Mustang putting both his arms up.
"Sir? What are you doing here?" she asks, lowering her gun.
"I'm on my way home. It's a surprise to see you here." Her colonel answered.
"Oh… I'm on my way home too"
"Can I join you?" asks Roy.
"Sure" said Riza and they start walking.
They are having such a very silent and awkward moment. Riza can't even glance at her Colonel's side. Looking back, Roy Mustang is acting really weird today. Always glancing at her during work hours, inviting her to lunch and now this. A very long moment later Roy decided to break up the tension…
"I saw you looking at the sky a while ago." and you looked so beautiful with that smile on your face he wanted to add but refrain from doing so.
"Ah. So you saw that. Well, I'm just looking at the stars sir." Said Riza, she looks at the starry sky again.
"You like stars?" asks Roy.
"What's there not to like?" said Riza absent mindedly. Roy just stared. She's really beautiful especially under the moonlight.
He can't seem to forget the words Havoc said to him before. Havoc? Asking the Lieutenant for a date? That would be impossible. He should know his limits. He wouldn't like to be shot by the lieutenant right? But Roy knew that he felt a twinge of rage when he saw how serious Havoc is when he explains why he chose Riza. Did he felt jealous? No that can't be... fine… he was jealous and it makes him angry whenever someone is planning to hit on Riza.
He knew to himself that he likes his Lieutenant, maybe loves her. He's just using his playboy image so no one would know and maybe, just maybe, that will make her jealous. But it's pretty obvious that she's not affected at all. He looks at the starry night too. What if… no, that would be dangerous but he wouldn't like to see her with other men, especially one of his subordinates. Just one question wouldn't hurt, right?
He continues to fight with his mind until they arrived a little later on Riza's apartment.
"Well, here's my stop, sir." She said
"Yes, I know." Roy said then he looked at her intently "Uhm… Lieutenant Hawkeye…"
"Y-yes sir?" Riza asked feeling a little startled of Roy's actions.
But before Roy Mustang can muster some words to say, they hear some footsteps and someone shout:
"MOMMY!!!"
And then a small creature embraces Riza.
