Ok I've been a big Royai fan for quite some time but this is my first time writing a fanfic for it so be easy on it please! The idea for this came from the song Then I Did by Rascal Flatts. Enjoy!

"It's a chance of a life time!" she exclaimed "Being able to work with Military Command at your age" "Yeah but that means moving to Central" he said his gaze dropping to the floor "And leaving you". She smiled sadly "Yeah but you've been waiting all you life for a chance like this, you have to go and find those dreams Roy!"

That was the last thing she said and then he did.

It was the first time he had been to the backwoods place they called Eastern Command in a long time. This time of year all of the trees were bare and were currently being dusted in a thin layer of snow. Any other time he would have paused to taken this beautiful sight, but not today. He was headed straight to his old work place, straight to his old team, but most importantly straight to her. It had almost been an entire year since he had seen or heard from any of them. So he couldn't help but wonder if Havoc still smoked like he was on fire? Was Breda still deathly afraid of dogs? Was Fuery still a tech wizard and Falman a walking, talking dictionary? And then his mind wandered back to her. He just could find the words to describe her. Radiant? Wonderful? No those just didn't cut it. Even though it was Christmas Eve he didn't even think about seeing if she was at home. He knew damn well, even thought it was 8:15pm on the day before Christmas, she was most likely still hard at work. Being the new commanding officer of an entire military HQ was bound to come with a ton of paper work after all.

And sure enough when he came within about 50 yards of the building he could see the light to his old office was still on. "I swear she's going to work her self to death one of these days," he mumbled to himself as he walked down the one of the long hallways. Maybe it was just due to his great impatience, but the hallway seemed much longer than he remembered it to be. But that didn't matter; he'd walk a hundred miles to see her lovely face. When he reached the office he took a deep breath before turning the doorknob and entering the room. The office was just as he remembered it from the furniture to the big bay windows that looked out into the woods behind the building. But there were some changes, but this was to be expected. The office was much more organized now then it was when he occupied it. Speaking of its occupant where was she? He turned looked around for a brief moment and then he spotted her. And he almost didn't believe his eyes. One the strictest officers he knew was asleep at her desk. He chuckled softly to himself as an idea came to him. Quietly he walked over to her and whispered "Oh Lt. Colonel!" and that was all it took. Her head shot up and for a moment there was a look of panic on her face, but that look quickly faded into shock. "R-Roy?!?" she said her eyes wide as she stood up. "Merry Christmas Riza!" he said as he pulled her into a tight embrace "I can't believe it!" she said looking up at him. " I thought you were working with Military command what happened?" she said looking puzzled "She's so cute when she's confused" he thought. "Well I never thought I'd ever live to say this Riza but you were wrong" "What do you mean?" "You were wrong " he repeated, "That job wasn't what I wanted after all". "Then what was it?" she asked "I thought that job was everything you ever dream—" But he cut her sentence short with a passionate but gentle kiss. When they broke apart he looked down into her eyes and said, "Love was what I wanted all along, and the chance to love you was my dream come true."

Sorry if I totally butchered the characters I'm kinda bad at that. Actually I'm pretty bad at writing but it keeps me busy.

Till next time
