Two faces were coated with pink cheeks as they stared at the newest glasses they just emptied. They looked at each other in the dim lighting and couldn't help but bust out laughing at the other's idiocy.

"C-Come on." Roy chuckled, "We should take you home…I think you are actually more drunk than me."

Riza fumed a bit, "No way, Colonel." she hiccupped before momentarily losing her balance and falling out of her chair.

He stood, trying to keep from laughing, "Nah, nah." Roy replied as he stood, pulling Riza up off the ground, "I can at least walk and function without tipping over. I never knew you were such a lightweight."

"Y-You never asked me!" she replied back, struggling to put on her coat.

Mustang helped her before he put on his own. "Let's go." he smiled at her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder as he led her out into the cold snow.

Hawkeye pushed him off as she stumbled a bit. "I can walk…I can walk myself home!" she slurred.

"No, you can't." he responded, trying to wrap his arm around her once more to guide her body through the walk.

She flailed her arms at him, trying to resist his help. "N-No. I can walk on my own!"

"Okay." he replied nonchalantly as he let go of her, allowing the blonde woman to stumble out of control.

And that she did. Riza attempted walking before she fell backwards, loosing her footing.

Roy on the other hand, caught her with his arms and brought her to his chest. "Told ya you were a lightweight."

She flustered, both with irritation and embarrassment of not only having to admit he was correct, but with the way she was being held. She could feel the heat radiating off of his chest and against her, completely different from the cold snow falling on her shoulders.

They looked at each other for a moment as the snow swirled around the two. It was now becoming apparent that Roy took notice of the, well rather awkward situation that had befallen on the two as she saw his cheeks flushing more than the drunken color already placed upon them.

He cleared his throat a bit, trying to break the silence as he gently pushed her body back upright, just leaving an arm draped over her shoulders that were dampened with snow.

As they walked down the road, Roy murmured, "Where do you live?"

Riza looked at him, "Sir?"

"Where do you live?" he asked once more, this time slightly louder.

"The other side of town." she replied.

"What?!" he responded in disbelief, "Then why on Earth are you over here?!"

She stared at him for a moment before replying, "Some of the guys were talking about how you had been spending nights at the bar more recently…so I figured I would go and see what was wrong."

"Hm…I guess what they say is true…" Roy commented.

"And what is that, sir?" she asked.

"I would definitely loose my head if you weren't around to keep it screwed on." he replied with a chuckle.

Riza merely sighed as she looked ahead. Her body felt tired, like it didn't even want to move on any further. She really wanted to just sit, relax, maybe even sleep for a few minutes. Really just enough to get this drunken state out of her mind so she could feel at least like she was in her own for a moment.

"C-Can we sit?" she asked, taking note that the two were approaching a nearby park.

Roy gave her an odd look. It was freezing out coupled with the fact it was the middle of the night and the only thing lighting their path was a moon and a few street lamps. "Alright…" he replied, still slightly confused.

The two made their way over to a bench in which Riza toppled over and onto. Roy let out a small chuckle as he sat down next to her.

They each sat there, watching as the snow continued to fall lightly on the ground in front of them. Roy's eyes watched them diligently as they fluttered, focusing on each one of them as he envisioned their shapes, hitting the ground and sticking to it.

Riza on the contrary, was zoning in and out of watching the snow. Her eyes sagged as she felt sleep growing upon her. She tried to focus but noticed it was more difficult than usual. She shook her head every time she felt her body begin the rest it's self as she made the attempt to awaken her eyes.

The black haired alchemist looked at her. He watched as she made futile attempts to keep her eyes open.

As Riza closed her eyes, she sat there silently. Her back was hunched, an unusual thing for her, along with the fact her arms draped loosely atop her legs, not a bit on manors hanging within her body any longer.

Roy quietly stood, taking notice she may have finally dozed off. He slowly stepped back and away from the bench, leaving Riza to sit quietly in peace.

His feet crunched quietly in the snow once his boots came in contact with the white pillow behind him. He continued to back up as he slowly bent down, scooping up an icy cold ball into his hands and shaping it.

As he continued to fall back, he watched Riza's body grown further and further into the distance.

---

After about ten minutes, the blonde haired woman's eyes slowly began to open. She sat there, confused as she looked slowly to her sides.

"Roy?" She asked, her tone still somewhat slurred as she stood, tucking her hands into her pockets to protect them from the cold.

She looked around for the Alchemist as she sighed, "You little…of course you would just up and walk away. Probably saw some woman or something." she grumbled, chewing on her lip.

"I might as well go home…" she told herself, closing her eyes as she began to walk.

Next thing she knew, she felt something smash against her head, leaving her hair and coat covered in snow.

Riza couldn't help but scream a bit in response as she turned around, drawing a pistol from inside of her coat pocket, aiming it in the direction of where the projectile came from.

"Bulls eye!" Roy yelled, as he brought his fist down in a success-filled gesture.

Hawkeye raised a brow, lowering her gun as she asked aloud, "Colonel?"

Mustang came from behind a bush, another snow ball perched in his hand as he tried to refrain from laughing to hard at Riza's lack of guard. "I can't believe you fell for that."

Her face fumed as she watched Roy laugh. She bit her lip before throwing the gun straight at his head. "Shut up."

Roy fell back into the snow as the gun came in contact with his head, "Hey! That isn't fair!"

"All is fair in love and war." she replied simply, crossing her arms in achievement.

He stood back up, "All is fair then, huh?" Roy smirked as he held up his hand, slowly snapping as a flame ignited, several hundred feet behind Riza.

She stood with her eyes widened as she listened to the explosion. Her heart raced as she felt the heat of the fire brush past her body and melt the snow atop her clothes.

As the explosion ceased, she gave him a death glare. Her temper was as great as the explosion. "What are you trying to do?! Kill everyone in Central?!"

"You said all was fair in love and war." he shrugged, putting his hands in his pockets as he looked away, a wide and satisfactory smile upon his face.

Riza glowered at him before she stomped over into the snow, grabbing a fist full and heading over to him in a fit of rage.

She grabbed a hold of his jacket as she tugged him close to her, that victorious smile still upon his lips.

"What's the problem?" he asked in a smug tone.

She took the hand full of snow and shoved it into his mouth, "Eat that, Flame Alchemist."

He coughed out the snow as he glared at her, "What was that for?!"

"All is fair." she replied simply.

Roy gave her a glare at first before a smirk came across his face, "Fine then."

Riza looked at him rather confused.

"We are going to have a good ol' fashion snow ball fight…starting…" he leaned over and picked up a wad of snow and threw it at her, "Now."
