This fic is rated m but smut isn't until chapter 3, at least! Just a heads up, I know it drives some people nuts when it says "rated m for later chapters" hahaha
He's back why does he have to be back? Why couldn't he just stay away? Of coarse it was only a matter of time before Roy Mustang would walk right back into Riza Hawkeye's life. He needs it after all. The secret. He made it perfectly clear he didn't need or want anything else from her. Riza knew it was coming she just wasn't ready for it so soon, so quickly. She was already stressed on what she was going to do when her father dies, she didn't want to think about him as well. But when the doorbell rang on that rainy day she knew it could only be one person. Her father was sick after all, he must want to ask one more time before the man finally dies. Finally get the notes he had wanted for so long, if only he knew.
She opened the door and looked up at him. To say he was different would be an understatement he was taller, broader, and physically he looked much more muscular. And to top it all off he was wearing a military uniform, her father was going to love that. He looked at her as well, taking her in since the time they had been apart, it had been very different back then. Everything seemed so long ago, Riza felt like if it was a different world, different life, she missed it a lot. She missed him a lot and what crushed her the most was he didn't miss her. His eyes were the same though, but there was a flash of almost hurt in them from seeing her. Why was he upset? He was the one who left her letters unanswered. He answered them for a while but maybe he realized how much world there really is out there. Maybe he realized she was the just his master's plain daughter. Nothing special. Maybe he found someone, that would make her feel a little better, that meant he found someone not that he just couldn't be bothered with her.
"Riza I—" he started.
"My father is in his bedroom Mr. Mustang, you will find him in there." She cut off. She wished it could have been that easy for him to get the research. That he could just ask and get it and he could be on his way again. But Riza knew all too well that her and Roy would be spending a good amount of time together, that and that she was going to be spending that time half naked.
Roy looked at her for a few more seconds, then went through the door she was holding open for him.
"Thank you" he said and just when Riza thought she could get away he grabbed her arm, not forcefully but enough to stop her in her tracks, but it might have also been the shock that he really was there. Maybe it was just hitting her now.
"Listen I want to talk to you, after, ok?" he asked, now she was sure of it there was a hint of some sadness in those black orbs. She didn't get it and that's what frustrated her. She pulled her arm away from him like he had burned her and replied coldly, "What is there to talk about?" and turned away from him and walked off before he could say anything else. Maybe she wasn't being fair to him, no, she knew she wasn't, its just, she felt betrayed. She thought he had been different somehow, that he actually cared. Its too cliché now that she thinks back, a handsome young man walks into a shy girl's life and gives her just a little attention and she overthinks the whole thing. Riza is an intelligent girl but when it came to the situation with Roy she saw herself as any other idiotic girl who melted over a boy's attention. But she really had thought he cared, that he wouldn't leave her. But in the end she had to face the fact that everyone leaves her in the end. Maybe she drove people away… or maybe people just couldn't stand to be around her. Had she done something to drive Roy away? What had she done wrong? Why did she care after all this time? But before she could even think of answers to these questions she heard yells and rushed up the stairs. When she finally made it up there she saw that yet another person had left her.
