Life after Death

© of Fluff Inc (mainly eina and jess)

It was one of the things Roy Mustang secretly feared. Death. He always wanted to figure out what exactly happens to a person's soul when the body dies. Will it still see the things happening on the living world… or are ghosts even real.

But today… he was having a big slap on a face, for he was facing death himself.

Well, not really.

Just the embodiment of death, really.

"So you're saying you want to live again?" The young girl, who he has been trying to 'charm' but miserably failing it as well, said with the familiar icy voice which he was used to hearing everyday, and to tell you the truth, this girl had a certain angle which reminded him of his First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye.

"Yes." He said with a voice he used to daze the girls of Central and East City.

"You're failing miserably, you know." She said, completely ignoring him, as she kept on working on those papers she had on her desk.

"What?" He asked, surprised. Never in his life did he meet a girl who knew he was miserably failing at hitting on her.

"You. Failing. Miserably." She repeated, colder than before.

"I get it already, you don't have to rub it in, okay?" He grunted, feeling useless and irritated. "So… are you going to tell me how to get my life back? That Yusuke guy said he was resurrected from the dead." He needed to get his life back. His plan was just about to be done, and he basically didn't want to make Riza insane. Seeing on how she reacted when she thought he died… how would she react now?

"Relationships in the military force isn't permitted, isn't it, Colonel Roy Mustang?" She smiled at him.

He flinched. Her smile was different. It was sad and devilish at the same time, sure she did look hot doing it, but he could feel his back hair standing just by staring at her icy blue eyes. "Yes, it isn't permitted."

"Hypocrite." She said.

"I beg your pardon?" He asked, insulted.

"I said, 'hypocrite'." She arched her left brow. "Are you deaf?"

He glared at her. He wanted to burn her to death for insulting him like that. He knew that he was being a hypocrite for disobeying that rule, but she doesn't even know—

"You're not the hypocrite, Mr. Mustang." She chuckled softly. "I was referring to one of my subordinates." She smiled.

"Oh." He said. If he wasn't a ghost right now, he would've been blushing intensely due to embarrassment. He was jumping off to conclusions too quickly. But then again, that was the reason on why he died.

"I wonder where he is…" She sighed, trying to convince herself that he was alright, and that nothing has happened to him. After all, there weren't even demolished walls or the sound of crying people, but then again, this is the General's Central City Headquarters, and such barbaric acts were kind of impossible to happen.

He has ordered her to go and flee if in case something happens to him, but she told him clearly that she wouldn't, even if it was a clear order and Roy was completely higher than her, she still chose to disobey that order, he didn't scold her for doing so too, he was actually amazed that she did.

Riza knew something was going on, it might be her female instincts but she felt that someone was endangered… and she hoped it wasn't Roy.

"Hey… would you mind if I ask you one question?" Roy asked, after a few moments of awkward silence.

"Fire away." He heard her say behind the stacks of papers she has been busying herself with throughout the conversation.

"Do you anyone by the name of Maes Hughes?" If he couldn't get resurrected soon enough, he might as well get help from one of the 'most persuasive' persons he had manage to come across at some time of his life.
