I Promise

A/N: Yay writing new stories instead of updating old. Haha, I'm trash. Well here's a cute little Royai story I wrote for my girlfriend while she was away on vacation. Here's the story whoo.

Chapter 1:

Riza entered her house; closing the door behind her. Hayate came running up with his tail wagging wildly. She remover her jacket and hung it up by her door before bending down and petting Hayate genty. Her moment with her dog was interrupted by the shrill ring of her phone over on her counter. Riza sighed and got up; answering it quickly."Hello?"

"This is your local florist calling." And overly fake chippery voice said on the other side of the line. Riza held the receiver away from her face slightly; recognizing the voice on the other side of the line. She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Colonel what the hell?" Riza asked in an annoyed tone. She was confused on why he was calling her at such a late hour. Roy chuckled slightly.

"Yeah, sorry… I got drunk and accidentally bought a car full of flowers. I was wondering if you wanted to take some off my hands." He said softly. Riza smiled and petted her dog slightly.

"Sure, why don't you bring some up." Riza said with a smile; not entirely sure if they really should be seeing each other right now. Mustang hung up the phone before grabbing a couple bouquets of flowers. He headed up to Riza's apartment. He knew that she didn't believe he was drunk; she knew him better than that. He knocked on the door quietly and she answered it immediately. The first thing he noticed was that Riza had a cut on her cheek.

"What happened to your cheek Lieutenant?" He asked; coming into Riza's home. He handed the flowers to her before she got a chance to answer him. Riza smiled and smelled the flowers.

"It's just a cut sir. Thank-you for the flowers; they're gorgeous." Riza said; setting them down on the table. Hayate yipped excitedly as Roy bent down to pet the small dog.

"No problems, Lieutenant. You just happened to be the first person I thought could use some." He said; sitting down at her small table. Riza forced and smile and slid her uniform jacket off and hung it up by the door. She removed her gun holster and also hung it up before unclipping her hair and letting it fall loose around her shoulders. She sat down beside Roy and he turned to her.

"Something is getting to you; I can tell." He said; his usual smirk was absent from his face. Riza shook her head; knowing she would most likely be killed by the shadows if she said anything about Selim being a homunculus.

"It's just been a long and stressful day, sir. It's actually a lot harder to work for Bradley than it is to work for you." Riza admitted to him; laying her head down on her table and sighing slightly. Roy moved closer to her and placed his hand on her shoulder; rubbing slightly. Riza froze at first but then relaxed; calming down from her encounter with Selim.

"I'm sorry for acting like this in front of you sir, it's just good to not be alone right now; even if it is only for a little while." She said softly; sighing deeply. Roy continued to rub her shoulder slowly.

"Riza…" He said gently. Riza perked up slightly; it had been years since he last called her by her first name. "I can stay here tonight if it will help you calm down some." He offered softly. Every inch of her professional mind was screaming at her to tell him no but the fear she felt by the shadows around the room screamed louder. She made sure he was willing.

"I don't really have comfortable couch to sleep on, so I doubt you would want to sleep on that on my behalf. I'm sure you also have better things you could be doing than dealing with my silly problems and try and comfort me." She said; brushing off the fact that she was really too terrified to go to sleep at this moment. Roy chuckled slightly and brushed her bangs out of her face so he could see her better.

"It's the middle of the night Riza, I don't have anything to do right now. I don't mind sleeping on an uncomfortable couch if it means you will calm down enough to go to sleep." He said gently. Riza sighed slightly before agreeing to let him stay; not caring that she could probably be killed for this.

"Fine, let me see if I can find my extra bedding stuff. You have some extra clothes in the bathroom if you want to change." She said; getting up from the table and going into her room. She took this moment to change out of her uniform. Riza refused to turn the light on in her room; Selim's warning still echoing in the back of her mind. She slowly opened her closet; half expecting Selim to be in there waiting for her. All she found was her other uniform and the few casual outfits she owned. Riza grabbed a few blankets and a pillow but sighed before putting them back. She peeked out of her bedroom door to find that Roy had changed in the sleepwear he had there for nights he would stumble to her house drunk off his ass. She came back out to her dining room.

"Roy… would you just like to sleep in my bed tonight?" She asked him; staring down at her feet to hide the faint blush that dusted her cheeks. Roy was surprised by her offer; remembering what happened the last time they had to share a bed.

"Only if you're comfortable with me doing so." Roy said; trying to make sure she wasn't just doing that so he wouldn't have to sleep on her tiny couch. Riza nodded slightly; still looking down at her feet.

"I'd actually prefer if you did." Riza said sheepishly. "The shadows are freaking me out tonight." She said. Roy nodded and got up from the table; knowing that the two of them really should be getting to be now. Riza and Roy went into her bedroom. Riza pulled her hair into a ponytail before crawling into bed; leaving on side for Roy. Roy slid in slowly; laying there and staring up at the ceiling. Riza turned to him and laid her head on his shoulder. Roy took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist and pull her closer to him. Riza didn't protest to the sudden contact; instead she cuddled into his side and sighed contently. She couldn't believe she was doing this. The fraternization laws in the military were very strict and she could be punished severely for this, but she honestly couldn't care less. It was nice to have someone who cared close to her.
