The honeymoon period
It was the following day after the wedding and the world greeted the new Mrs Elric as she opened the curtains to let the morning sun in, Edward didn't respond to the sun shining through the window which only made Riza give a smile to her sleeping husband as she headed into the bathroom to have a shower before breakfast. Edward woke up to the sound of the shower running and knew that Riza was in there as she could never break her morning habit and headed for the kitchen to make them both breakfast. Riza got dressed and headed down stairs and was greeted by the smell of Ed cooking beacon "That smells wonderful." Riza said making Ed turn his head to see his wife in the door way "Morning beautiful I made some fresh coffee it's on the table waiting for you, I'll have breakfast ready in a minute." Ed said turning his head back to the cooker.
Ed and Riza had just finished breakfast "So when are we heading off to Sans Rosa for our honeymoon my love." Riza asked Ed who had a piece of toast in his mouth, he finished it before answering her "gulp we can head off soon enough let's finish packing first ok." Ed said smiling at her "You mean when YOU have finished packing I've finished mine before we got married." Riza said in a sarcastic voice "Yeah yeah I know I'll have it sorted soon enough and we can head off ok." Ed said heading out the room.
Riza and Edward headed out of their house to the car waiting for the two to drive them to the train station, On the way there Riza and Ed talked "So it's going to take at least a few days to get there since we have to stay in central for a while since there are only a few trains headed south and we have to wait till the morning to get on one." Ed said to Riza who was staring out of the window thinking about what happened over the last few days only to be snapped out of her thought "Yeah I guess you're right." Riza said smiling at Ed who smiled back in return.
When they arrived at Central they checked the time of their train for the following morning before heading off to find a hotel for the night. When they found one not far from the train station they booked a room for the night and headed upstairs and resting ready for the following day.
When they finally arrived at Sans Rosa they were greeted by the hot sun shining down on them. They took a slow walk to the hotel enjoying the sights on the way. After arriving and dropping their luggage in their room they went for a walk to get to know the area and decided to go on the beautiful white beach and walk in the clear blue water. "What's on your mind my love? I know that look you always have a half attempted smile and you have a distant look in your eyes" Ed said in a loving tone "Huh I'm sorry Ed I was just thinking about everything that's happened" Riza said looking at the gold ring on her left hand "I mean I never thought I would find someone as loving like you let alone get married to him." Riza said kissing Ed on his lips as the sun started to set on their first day.
The next morning Edward woke up the sound of birds chirping outside of their window, Riza was still asleep so Ed slowly got out of bed hoping not to disturb her and went to have a shower. By the time he got out and headed back into the room drying his hair he saw Riza was up and getting dressed "morning Riza you sleep all right?" Ed said putting the wet towel in a basket "I slept great thank you how about you put some underwear on before you scare the maid like last time." Riza chuckled "Well she should have knocked before she entered." Ed said getting dressed like Riza had asked "She did knock you just didn't hear it and walked out the bathroom naked, I mean doing it at home and doing it in a hotel is a nothing thing completely." Riza said smiling at him "I thought we could have a look around some of the shops I saw a nice dress in one of them." "Sure why not we got all week to do whatever we want." Ed said winking at her "Hey keep that mind of yours clean mister …well maybe later if your good." Riza said which made Ed grin.
Ed and Riza went into the town holding hands looking into the shop windows they spent some time looking until Riza found the shop "Look Ed that's the dress I mentioned earlier on." Ed turned to look in to the window and saw a beautiful red summer dress with shoulder straps and knee length to show off her legs "So what do you think?" Riza said nudging him slightly "I think you would look beautiful in it why don't you go in and try it on." Ed said looking in to her eyes before he was pulled into the store.
"Sit there Ed I'll be back in a min." Riza said heading off to try it on Ed looked around the store from the chair and then Riza came out from behind the curtain "So what do you think?" Riza asked Ed turned his head and his jaw dropped in amazement "I'll take it that you like it then he he." Riza giggled "Yea…..yeah you look beautiful." Ed said but in Ed's mind words couldn't describe how she looked to him to him it was as if an angel fell from heaven and blinded him with her beauty.
"I'll get changed and pay for it then we will have to find something for you because it's too hot to wear that stuff you need something more fitting for the weather." Riza said from behind the curtain "What's wrong with what I'm wearing? I always wear this I feel comfortable." Ed said trying to make her change her mind "Come on Ed please you could do with something new don't make me do the puppy dog look." Riza said meaning every word of it "Oh no not the puppy dog look dam you Al did you have to teach her that look she pulls it too well." Ed said to himself "Ok Riza we can look for some new cloths for me but please don't pull that look." Ed said tilting his head slight down as Riza came out from behind the curtain knowing that would make him give in.
They went to a café before looking for some new cloths for Ed "How are you enjoying it so far Riza?" Ed said sitting down with their drinks "It's perfect I couldn't be happier, I'm with the man I love in a beautiful paradise. "Riza said we a loving smile on her face "Well it can only get better I mean we have the rest of our life's together." Ed said handing her drink to her they sat there enjoying the world go by for a while before they headed off to look for a men's shop.
It didn't take long before they found one and went inside to look around "I'm not sure these are my sort of thing Riza." Ed said looking at the cloths "That's the point though you need to have some different cloths for summer, how about this?" Riza said pulling a blue shirt with a golden dragon hand stitched on it "That's not bad looking that much have took some time doing that." Ed said feeling the dragon
"Yes it did." the shop keeper said making Ed jump "Every shirt here has been handmade we take a lot of pride in each one." She said looking at the two "For a man like yourself sir this one would be most fitting the golden dragon means unwavering will and great knowledge." She said looking Ed right in the eye as if she could see right to his soul a moment passed before anyone said a word
"Great we will take it how about some trousers to go with the shirt miss?" Riza said "Come this way I have just the pair." She said walking into another part of the store "Here try these on sir." She passed Ed a pair of black trousers with red writing along the back and flaps just below the knees on each leg "What's this say and what's with the flaps?" Ed asked politely "It says warrior and the flaps are there to hide the zips as you see sir." She said lifting the flap and undoing the zip "They come off and can be worn as long shorts." "Wow I love them I'll take them." Ed didn't even want to try them on he fell in love with them after that.
After they had finishing shopping for new cloths they went for dinner and then called it a night. For the rest of the week Ed wore nothing else but his new cloths but it was now time to head back western command and to his team but before that he would drop by central and see mustang and the gang.
