A/N: Here is an update! Enjoy!

"Ha, ha! You should have seen the look on your faces. Well actually you Colonel," Havoc laughed. So did everybody else. Mustang gave them an angry look, but it didn't stop Havoc from laughing. "I mean you were so in shock you pulled the lieutenant's arm up and forgetting she was hand cuffed too!" The four men continued to laugh some more. The laughing stopped when Lieutenant Hawkeye shot her gun over Havoc's head. Everyone was silent and in relief. They were relieved that he didn't shot Havoc's head by mistake since her strong hand; her right hand was cuffed to Mustang's left. Roy too was relieved. He didn't want to arrest his lieutenant or clean up the blood.

The look on her superior's face made it obvious that he didn't what to clean up Havoc's blood if she didn't shot Havoc mistakenly. 'Lazy bum,' she thought to herself. "Can you unhand cuff us now? We have a lot of work to finish," the lieutenant said sternly.

"Alright, alright, we were just having a little fun," Breda responded and shoved his hands in his pocket looking for the key. "Where did that key go?" he muttered. His superior looked annoyed. "Sorry Colonel, Lieutenant, I can't find the key."

"Stop with the joking around and unhand cuff us!" Roy demanded.

"Sorry sir, I really did lose the key," Breda assured. That made Mustang furious. He walked over to Breda still forgetting the Riza was cuffed to him. Hawkeye groaned from the second time. He dragged her with him. He grabbed Breda on his military jacket with his right hand and tried to his left fist in his face but couldn't. He felt something heavy holding him down. Roy looked over to see his lieutenant in pain and she was on her heels hanging. He didn't realize that he had dragged her because of his anger.

He quickly lowered her down and so she was sitting on the floor against the wall. He kneeled down next to her and said, "I'm sorry lieutenant. I didn't mean to hurt you." He tone was soft like he actually cared about her. She rubbed her arm.

Roy didn't mean to hurt her. His rage just got the best of him. He was ashamed; she was the last person he wanted to hurt. She was the only person he really cared about.

"It is ok sir," she said. "Your rage just got the best of you." How does she know what he was thinking? Was she physic or is his face that readable?

The colonel turned to Breda. "How are we going to get free?" he asked.

Breda shrugged, "Maybe you could use your alchemy to melt it, sir." Roy pulled out his gloves and was about to snap but Havoc stopped him.

"Sir you can't do that. It won't work. Those hand cuffs are flame resistant and they can't be cut since they are titanium," Havoc stated.

"So how are the lieutenant and I supposed to get freed?" Roy roared. His anger had crept up again and almost made him want to stand up and beat Havoc up but he didn't want to hurt Riza. So he sat down impatiently for an answer from any of the men.

"Why don't we go ask another alchemist that doesn't specialize in flame alchemy," Fuery suggested.

"Are you calling me useless?!" Mustang yelled in his seat on the floor. He suddenly realized that he was screaming right in Hawkeye's ear. "Sorry Lieutenant, I didn't mean to yell in your ear," he apologized. "Anyway, I'm the only person that specialize in flame that is still alive," the colonel added. His alchemy teacher, Riza's father was skilled in flame alchemy too but never showed him until he died. He told him that she daughter had his notes. At first Roy didn't get it until Riza decided to shown him her father's notes. He remembered that so clearly, from her father's death to her showing him the notes, especially when she had showed him the notes.

----Flashback----

They were in her father's study. Roy was waiting anxiously to see what her father's greatest work was. It was the most useful and deadly alchemy. That was all he knew. He looked over at Riza closing the curtains shut and turning and turned on the dim light. He could hardly see her clearly.

"Why did you close the curtains? I can hardly see you," Roy said.

"That's good," she responded. The response was not what he had expected. Why would see want him not to see her clearly? He just wanted to see the notes.

"Can I see the notes now Riza?" he asked feeling he was going to see more than he wanted.

"Alright Roy," she said as she unbuttoned her shirt. She back was facing him. Roy didn't notice at first until she started to pull her shirt down. He was in shock. He never liked her that way. Does she think that he like her or something and this whole thing was for her to sleep with him?

"Riza please don't…" he started to yell but stopped. On her back was an array. It was the strangest thing e had ever seen. Riza used her shirt to cover her breast.

"Here are my father's notes Roy," she murmured. Riza was embarrassed to show Roy bare back and having to cover the front of her with her shirt.

"Riza… Did your father do that to you?" Roy worried. 'Well that was an obvious question,' he scolded himself.

"Yes he did," she told him. Roy could hear the pain in her voice. It must have really hurt to get tattoo but even more by her father unwillingly.

"I see," Roy said. He ran his hands down her back which gave chills down her back. "You don't have to show me the notes if you feel embarrassed."

"I know but I think my father would want you to know." Riza turned and faced him with her shirt still covering her breast. He could see the tears running down her eyes. It was too painful for her. Her father did this to her and now he's dead. This was all she really had to remember her father.

Roy walked forward and hugged Riza. "I don't think your father would want you in not feeling pain more than showing me his notes," he calmed her down. He felt her warm soft skin as he was hugging her. 'She really is a beautiful woman,' Roy thought. 'Too bad I have to leave her tomorrow for the military.' Roy knew it might be the last time he would see her again so he wanted to cherish every moment of her in his arms.

Riza pushed from his arm. "There is another reason I want to show you. I'll just have to ignore the pain," her voice cracked. He knew she was serious.

"What is the reason then," he asked.

"You'll just have to wait until I feel like telling you," she replied and turned her back to him to let him study the notes. They had spent hours in the small room together but not talking. Roy was thinking about what she had said.

----End-of-Flashback----

He was a fool back then. Roy knew he could never be away from Riza forever, and now they are even closer then ever. But thinking of that made him think more about what she had said back then. Even now he doesn't even know.

"Colonel?" a female voice broke through his thoughts.

"Huh… What is it lieutenant?" the colonel turned his head to his lieutenant.

"Do you have any ideas how to unhand cuff us?" asked her superior.

"Why don't we get an alchemist to do it?" he responded.

Havoc shook his head, "Sorry that can't happen today. All the State Alchemists of Central are on important missions."

"Ok… Hey wait a minute! How come I wasn't put on an important mission?" Roy argued.

"Well they needed a State Alchemist to judge the State Alchemist Exams and it is raining outside," Havoc explained. It was true, outside it was pouring. He really is unless in the rain his thought.

"I guess that was the reason why Armstrong lied to me that he had to go do some errands. He was going on a mission and didn't want me to go," Mustang said feeling disappointed at himself. Someone patted his back. Roy looked over to see it was his lieutenant and laid his head on her chest like a child running sleeping on his mother during a long car ride or a guy feeling happy to be near a woman he loves.

Hawkeye's face looked shocked. It felt uncomfortable so she said, "Get off of me sir. We have lots of work to finish."

"Sorry Hawkeye, I'm hand cuffed to you so I can't do my work today," Roy made an excuse and gave her a smirk.

"Sir you can do your work today because your right hand is not the one that got cuffed," Riza out smarted him. "As for me on the other hand, I can't do any work today since my right hand is the one that is cuffed." She gave him a smirk back.

"But-but…" he foundered and knew that she had out smarted him. "Fine," he gave up.

The rest of the day went by quickly. Roy complained most of the time about having to do work and he kept pulling Riza around. When it was finally time to leave, Roy jumped out of his seat and rush out the door, again forgetting that she was hand cuffed to him. 'He doesn't care for me. He forgot I was hand cuffed to him still,' Riza complained to herself.

"Um… Sir, where are we staying at?" she asked. That statement stopped Roy in his tracks. He forgot that she was going to be hand cuffed to him for another day. So that meant they have to live together for a day. And sleep together.

"How about my place?" he suggested.

Riza thought about it and said, "I don't think I can, I have Black Hayate to feed."

"Alright then… we'll go to your place," he agreed.
