A/N: Hi it is me! I wrote another story. I will still be writing my other story too. I told you I will finish it to the end and so will this one too. Enjoy!
Riza looked up from her desk and saw the colonel was hovering over her. She was wondering why he was doing that or why he was acting strange the whole entire day.
"Colonel, why are you hovering over me?" she asked. "Are you done with your paperwork?" That was a stupid question she had asked. Of course not. Colonel Mustang never finished his paperwork this early. He always slack off and finish his paperwork late.
"Yes I have finished my paperwork," he replied. She fell off her chair in shock but was caught by Mustang. "You should be more careful Riza." They made eye contact. Surely enough she was lost in his deep black eyes.
She broke eye contact and said, "I'm just shocked, that's all. You never finish your paperwork this early sir." The lieutenant tried to push Roy from grasping her so she could get back to work but he didn't let go.
"Stop pushing me. I'm not going to let go you know," her superior said. "Because what I'm going to tell you is going to surprise you even more." A smirk appeared on his face.
"I think I can handle it. So let go of me sir or else people will assume we're a couple." Riza squirmed trying to break free.
"I hope so because I love you Riza Hawkeye," he said and kissed her softly. He was right she was in a deep state of shock. All of a sudden Roy let go of her and she fell on the floor.
"Ow…" she whined. Riza looked around to see that she was back in her room and that she had bumped her head at the wall. She let out a deep sigh. "It was just a dream." Black Hayate saw that his master had finally woken up and jumped on her. "If only dreams do come true," she said to her dog. She had always dream of the day that she would confess her feeling to him. Or at least he would to her if he felt the same about her. If he felt the same about her was reason why she never confessed. Riza always had a fear of rejection from Roy. She couldn't care least about being rejected by other men but only Roy. She shook the though out of her mind because she had to get ready for another day at headquarters.
She started her daily morning routine. First she fed Black Hayate and went to the bathroom. Riza stared at herself in the mirror and frowned at her reflection. The mornings and on her days off was when she was really herself, not Lieutenant Hawkeye, the strict and cruel lieutenant. 'He will never know the real me…' she said to herself. Even though her father had taught Roy alchemy, she was never really around. Her father and Roy would be in the study doing alchemy most of the time. And during those times when Roy wasn't learning alchemy, they never really talked. She was too shy about having a strange man living with her father and her. At first she never knew she had fallen in love with him. Riza thought he was handsome but he acted like a jerk around her so she hated him. She hated him even more that he had lived with her small family for as long as he was learning alchemy. That hatred ended when her father died. He helped her with her father's funeral and tried to make her feel better about her father's death. She didn't hate him anymore, he started to trust her and told her about his goal to make the country better as much as he could and left for the military. It was the last time she saw him for a while.
Thinking those thoughts made her depress because it reminded her of her father, the only family she had and he is gone. Now the only family she had left was Black Hayate and her grandfather who was part of the military at East Headquarters. She didn't wan to feel sad. Riza knew that she had to get to work so she stripped off her pajamas and walked into the shower. When she was done with her shower, she dried herself with a towel and put on a bath robe, then used the towel to hair her hair and walk out of the bathroom.
She heard a knock on the door. "Coming," she yelled out so the person on the other side of the door could hear. When Riza opened the door she was surprised to see the colonel all ready for work. Had she work up late or was his clock broken? "Colonel what are you doing her so early?" she said with her soldier voice. Now she was Lieutenant Hawkeye and her real self was hidden in her mind. Mustang blushed. Riza was confused why. Then she realized that she was in a bath robe in front of her commanding officer. She blushed too. "Uh, sir, please wait I need to change. You can come in if you what."
"Thank you Hawkeye. You know, this is the first time I even been in your apartment," Roy stated and smirk at his lieutenant in a bath robe. Riza felt uncomfortable and gripped the top of the bath robe close to prevent any pervert moments the colonel could have or if he was having one, then she would stop it from continuing. 'But why would he do that? He had no feeling for me anyways,' her common sense told her. Roy frowned. 'Maybe Roy does like me, but wait, he is a womanizer. I could just end up being rejected like all of the other women that he dates.'
"Colonel Mustang you never answered why you are here early." She glared at him still with her hand gripping the top part of the bath robe.
"I thought we could get some breakfast on the way to work. But I didn't know you were not done getting ready. I should call before I go to someone's house unexpected," he replied trying to act as calm as possible so she wouldn't figure out that he was lying. It was true, he did lie to her. The real reason he came was because he thought he had the courage to confess his feelings to her. The feeling that she was more than just his lieutenant or friend and that he loves her. In the end though, he was a coward. He was afraid of rejection. She was the only person he really loved. He had no idea how he had fallen in love with her. Maybe it was the fact that she protected him even though he promise her father the he would protect him or that she was a caring person under her soldier self. Roy saw through her. She was the same person like when she was younger and he was learning alchemy from her father. It was just that she was never really around or talked much as when he was around, but he had gotten to know her more after her father's death.
"Oh… ok sir. I will get ready and we can go and eat." Riza smiled at him and started to walk towards the bathroom; her arms were now relaxed and swinging at the sides of her body. Roy suddenly spot that one side of her bathrobe was slipping off her shoulder. He turned red. He wanted to go over and grab her tightly in his arms from behind and kiss her neck and he bare shoulder never letting go. He knew he could never do that. Roy didn't know if she felt the way. If he did make a move then she would shoot at him but if she had feelings for him it would never work out. The military had rules about relationships within the military. He sighed. "Colonel I'm ready." He look up to that Riza was in her military uniform. He didn't even notice that she was in the bathroom for about five minutes already because he was lost in his thoughts.
"Let's go Lieutenant," he commanded and they left her apartment.
They went to a café in the centre of Central. The two soldiers sat at a table to wait for a waiter or waitress. Riza was staring at the table not wanting to look at Roy. She still felt embarrassed about what had happened in the morning and regret not telling him that she loves him when she was her real self. It was too late. She knew opportunities like that barely come around.
Roy looked up at Riza. 'Maybe I'll tell her,' he considered. "Riza…" The sound of him saying her first name was a shock. He had never called her by her first name for a long time. "I have something I want to tell you," he continued. He couldn't believe that he was going to confess.
"What is it sir?" she asked.
"I… I… I l-l-…" he was cut off when the waitress came.
"Hello may I get you anything?" she asked cheerfully. She was staring at Roy and ignoring Riza. Her eyes were sparkling at the sight of Roy. Riza gave an irritated look and keep silent. Roy looked over to see an irritated Riza. He didn't want to see that look.
He turned to the waitress, "Hm…." He put is hand on his chin and said "I'm not sure." The sound of his voice made the waitress look as if she was about to squeal. "What would you Lieutenant?" he glanced over at his lieutenant. The waitress turned her head to finally notice that the handsome man didn't come alone. She scowled at Riza, but the lieutenant didn't notice.
"Um… I think I would like a raisin bagel and a cup of coffee with cream," she said to the waitress. The waitress wrote down the order and looked back at Roy.
"Would it be ok if you get me a cup of dark coffee sweetheart?" The waitress felt excitement flow down her spine to hear him call her a sweetheart. She turned to Hawkeye and gave her a victorious look.
"Coming right up!" she said and ran off the fill the order.
Riza looked at Roy, "Colonel, the next time you take me out for breakfast, can you try not to attract woman who want to date you?"
"I can help it if I attract almost every pretty single women," he responded.
"What do you mean almost?" she asked another question.
"I'll tell you later because our order is here." The waitress walked over with two coffees and a raisin bagel. She hand Roy his coffee and nearly dropped the other coffee on Riza. Riza grabbed her bagel before the waitress could try to accidentally drop it. Roy gave her a smirk and she walk away looking all happy.
Roy took a sip of his coffee. "Now can you tell me what do you mean by almost?" Riza asked taking a sip of her coffee. Then she gave a look as if she drank something bitter. "I think this is your coffee sir. It tasted really dark." They exchanged coffees.
"I guess that was the reason why my coffee tasted so sweet." He stared at Riza with a polite smile and not a smirk. "It tasted as sweet as you," he muttered under his breath.
"What did you say sir?" she asked looking curious.
"Nothing Lieutenant, I was just talking to myself." He took another sip of his coffee.
"Sir, can you answer my question now?" she demanded.
Roy looked at his pocket watch, "I'm sorry I can't. We are going to be late for work. I'll tell you when I think I could trust you completely with my thoughts and feeling and that you would kill off my type of women."
"Fine…" She felt disappointed not to get the answer she wanted.
As the colonel and lieutenant walked down the hall towards their office, Havoc appeared in front if them. He saluted and handed an envelope to Mustang. Roy knew what it was…paperwork. He dreaded doing paperwork.
"Colonel, this needs your approval immediately! We need to get you into the office and fill it out. It is due in fifteen minutes!" Havoc explained to the colonel.
"If it was that important, why don't you give to a higher up that was already here?" Roy asked annoyed that he had to rush in doing paperwork.
"It has your name on it," Havoc said. Riza grabbed the envelope and read it.
"He's right Colonel." She gave the colonel the envelope.
"Damnit!" he yelled. He really hated paperwork. The three of them walked to the office. Fuery, Breda and Falman were sitting on the couch talking. When they saw the colonel and lieutenant, they saluted. Roy Walked over to his desk and plopped onto his chair. He signed the documents and gave it back to Havoc who ran out as fast as he could to meet the deadline. "I hate paperwork."
"Well get use to it. You have more." Lieutenant Hawkeye handed him a stack of documents that needed his approval.
He sighed, "Fine…" Mustang started the stack of paperwork.
It was lunch. Havoc, Breda, Falman, and Fuery were in the mess hall.
"Hey you guys…" Breda said with an evil look. "You want to play a prank on the colonel and lieutenant?" All the other men stared at him.
"We can't do that! The Colonel is going to roast us!" Fuery whined. His face was full of fear of what might happen to them.
"Fuery is right you know," Falman said.
"But that isn't really a prank Breda," Havoc told his colleague. "I mean we were told to test out the new titanium handcuffs so it is not really a prank."
"I know but I want to see the look on their face to have been bind together physically for the rest of the day," Breda explained about his prank.
"Well the look of their faces would be funny…" Havoc trailed off to think for a second. "Let's do it then. I'm bored."
The four men planned out their scheme. They were to lure Mustang and a Hawkeye close together to get the handcuffs on and enjoy their bickering for the rest of the day.
Lunch had ended and everybody was back in the office. Each of the four men had a role. Havoc, Fuery and Falman as the lurers to lure their superior officers close together, and Breda as the handcuffer, he would cuff them as quickly as possible. The colonel and lieutenant walked into the room. Hawkeye was on Mustang's left side a step behind him. Breda thought it was going to be easy since they were already next to each other. Havoc, Falman, and Fuery thought that they should be distracters instead.
"Sir I can't tell if my glasses are clean enough." Fuery showed Roy his glasses.
"It is clean Fuery, not back to work," the colonel ordered his subordinate.
"Colonel! Colonel! Look! I can fly like a bird!" Havoc yelled out while flapping his arms like wings.
Riza sighed. The two didn't notice that Breda was creeping up behind them. "Oh Havoc stop it! You look like a fool…" Mustang and Hawkeye heard a clicking sound. It sounded like handcuffs and they felt their wrist had something on it. Roy pulled up his wrist quickly. His 1st lieutenant's wrist when up too. She groaned from the pain on her wrist thanks to Roy. "What do you think you're doing?!" Roy yelled angrily. They were now cuffed together.
