Roy and Riza's Fancy Party

by AllisonHargreeves

On an otherwise unassuming Friday, Team Mustang found invitations for an "exclusive get together" hosted by Roy on their desks. What they didn't know was that Riza was the one who had written it, and what they had planned for the night. Shameless Royai fluff (with hints of other ships) co written with PurpleMaple.

Author's Note: This is a collaboration with PurpleMaple, who got me into writing again with this idea, and somehow made me even more of a royai shipper. Nothing belongs to us. Even the title, which is from Parks and Recreation. Enjoy our three month labour of love and let us know what you think! Second half coming soon. Set between episodes 5 and 6.

A.H and P.M.

Prologue-An Evening in Resembool, 1910

[Alphonse] I can't sleep anymore, but I'm not sure that Mr. Mustang and Miss Hawkeye know that. Brother is asleep, though, he does that a lot. Even during the day when we'd usually be outside, or studying. I miss the sun. I'm not cold, but the warm was nice.

Mr. Mustang and Miss Hawkeye walked into our room a second ago. I don't know how late it is but both of them look so tired. I think they were supposed to leave earlier but Granny made them stay. No one fights with Granny and wins and I think both of them could tell.

"Roy." She sounds sad.

"They committed the taboo." Mr. Mustang sounds tough, but his eyes are as sad as Miss Hawkeye's voice. They're being quiet so they won't wake us but of course I can hear them.

"I've never seen eyes like that, not on a child."

Brother looks so broken. He sort of is, Winry and Granny are still working on his automail.

Mr. Mustang puts his arm around Miss Hawkeye and kisses her hair. It's almost the same colour as mine. As mine used to be. "They've had to deal with more in mere minutes than we did in an entire war. That doesn't make this ok."

"No, but it means you have to treat them with respect. They're alive and they're hurting and you should act accordingly." Miss Hawkeye seems nice. I want to tell them we were sorry, we didn't mean it. We'd tried before but I don't want to be yelled at again by Mr. Mustang. That seemed to just make everyone sad.

"Riza, I swear, I'll watch over them. But I'll need your help."

"You always do." She kisses him and if I had a body I would blush. Was this what love looked like? I'm not sure; I haven't ever seen it.

"Let's get some rest, we have a long journey ahead of us." When Mr. Mustang closes the door, I look at Brother. Still asleep. I wish he wasn't in pain. I wish a lot of things.
