a/n: I DO NOT own the characters in this fic.
I woke up early in the morning to get ready for the big day.
I wore the tux she chose.
I have a big smile on my face, I'm gonna see her walk down the aisle today.
Riza Hawkeye is the most amazing woman I have ever met in my whole life.
She's beautiful, smart, got a great personality and she's my best friend.
What else is there to ask for, Right? Wrong.
I walked through the busy streets of Amestris with only her in my mind.
Finally I've reached the venue. The place where two people are to exchange vows that'll bind them together forever.
I entered and saw the guests everywhere, eagerly awaiting the ceremony.
As a person involved in the upcoming event, I had to check the place where the ceremony would happen and it was perfect.
The seats were aligned, the aisle was decorated with Riza's favorite flowers and ribbons of the same color.
I closed the door and proceeded to the place where the bride was getting ready.
I saw the door to the room and I breathed in and out, then opened the door.
There she was, the blushing bride as beautiful as ever, kissing the man she was about to marry.
"Oi Mustang, you know you're not allowed to see the bride before the wedding right?" I said as I ran a hand through my blond hair.
"Hey Havoc…" Mustang looked at me then back to his bride, "I just can't help it…"
"Yeah yeah Now out!" I jokingly scolded him.
He gave Riza a soft peck on the lips then let go of her.
He turned on his heels and approached me, I held out a hand and said, "Congratulations!"
He took it and grinned, "Thanks!"
"You're finally tying the knot and gonna stop stealing my girlfriends" I chuckled.
He laughed along with me and so did the bride.
She looked so pretty hiding her laugh.
"I'm gonna leave you two for a while, I have to check on the necessary stuff before the wedding." He bid and walked away.
"You look amazing, Riza." I commented as I turned to her.
"Thanks Jean…" she smiled, I felt a tug in my chest.
She hugged me and said, "I'm finally here…"
"I know I'm happy for you." I replied.
"For the first time, I feel like crying…" she giggled.
I held her face and smiled at her.
"Roy Mustang is one lucky guy" I muttered.
"Thank you…" she mumbled again.
"Now fix yourself up it's almost time…" I told her as I let go.
Suddenly, Winry Rockbell, Gracia Hughes and Rebecca Catalina stepped right in and started talking to Riza.
"Have you been making-out with Mustang again? Retouch your lipstick woman!" Rebecca scolded her, handing her the lipstick.
I walked out of the room and went to the wedding area.
People were entering already and Roy was having a conversation with a big woman in front. I think it was his mother, Christmas.
The judge entered and everybody settled down.
I got in position beside Mustang.
"If Hughes was here he'd be in my place." I sighed.
"If Hughes was here, I'd have 2 best men." Roy whispered.
I felt happy and guilty at the same time.
The pianist started playing the wedding march and we all turned to the doors and the woman in the wedding dress shone like a diamond.
I couldn't help but be envious of Roy Mustang, he had her and he forever will.
I suddenly remembered the times when we were still in the academy and were really close, when she would let me hug her when things got complicated, after the Ishval war she broke down in front of me. Little did I know, that would be the last time we could be that close.
After meeting Mustang again, we've drifted apart. We were no longer as close as before, she spent more time with him.
When the Fraternization Law was lifted and they started going out, I secretly got happy when they fought but that happiness turned into plain sorrow when I see how sad she gets.
I liked it when they drifted apart but I get so guilty of feeling that way and always end up trying to fix them.
I hate myself for supporting my rival, but if the woman I love can only be happy with another man then there's no point pushing myself, is there?
She reached the altar and she took Mustang's arm.
They went on with the ceremony.
"Is there any objection to the joining of this lovely couple?" said the judge after all the other stuff
I smiled to hide how hard I'm trying to hold in the desire to object.
After looking through the crowd the judge continued.
I couldn't concentrate on the wedding, my mind was else where.
"Havoc…"
She's gone, she's somebody else's now.
"Jean."
I can NEVER tell her how I feel. Not anymore.
I felt a poke on my shoulder and I turned to it's the direction.
"Havoc the rings…" Mustang mumbled.
I sheepishly smiled and scratched the back of my head. "Sorry 'bout that"
I handed them the rings and they exchanged vows.
"You may now kiss the bride" said the judge happily.
I clapped my hands along with everyone else.
The couple exited and everyone was throwing flower petals over their heads.
I followed later on to the reception but I preferred to stay outside for a smoke.
I lit up my cigarette then puffed.
I held the cigarette in between two fingers, sucked in then blew my stress out.
That's when I realized.
Riza Hawkeye was like the smoke from this cigarette.
Mine to taste, but have to let go, yet it leaves a mark in my body that'll never disappear.
