Warnings: Language and Violence.
"Hello." Riza said as he answered the phone. Roy crept up behind him, obviously eavesdropping on his conversation. He frowned, at least she could be a little more inconspicuous.
"Ah, Lieutenant Hawkeye, I'm glad I finally got a hold of you." The deep voice on the other end of the line said. He recognized that voice and broke out into a cold sweat.
"Führer Bradley sir!" He paused. "To what do I owe this honor sir?" Riza said as he literally felt Roy's chin on his shoulder.
"I've been looking over your performance record. It's quite impressing, top marks in all inspections. Not to mention after the accident you continued to have a spotless record."
"With all due respect, what are you trying to say sir?"
A hardy laugh was the answer to his question. "Tenacious, I respect that in Captain."
"Sir?"
"Captain Hawkeye, I believe you have just been promoted. I've also decided to give you your own command, if you except it that is."
Riza felt his chest well up with pride. He looked behind him to where Roy was listening attentively on his conversation. She had to be in on this decision, it would mean leaving her command.
He sighed, grabbed Roy's hand and kissed it. She looked surprised by the sudden affectionate gesture."I'd have to ask my girlfriend how she feels about it sir." He looked at Roy, who was in obvious suprise hearing reference made to her.
"A man for only a few months and your already whipped by a woman." A pause and a laugh were heard. "I'm just kidding, please take your time on making a decision. Come to my office when you've made up your mind Captain." The phone line went dead and he hung up the phone.
"Well, what the hell was that all about." Roy asked as she pulled on his muscular arm.
"I just got promoted."
She smiled and kissed his cheek. "That's great Hawkeye! Now, I just need to make that final push for Brig. General, we'll make quite a team." Roy giggled.
He sighed and looked down at his feet. This wasn't going to be easy. "Yeah, well, Roy, I also got an offer to have my own command."
She was quiet and her smile disappeared. "You should take it." Roy said solemnly.
"Roy..."
"Riza, you've worked hard, you deserve this, I'm just worried, you've always been at my side, I don't know what I'll do without you."
Riza smiled slightly and caressed her cheek. "I will always be at your side Roy. You are still going to be führer." He picked her up and spun her around. "Well, why don't we go out and celebrate."
She made a squeak when she was suddenly lifted off the ground. "What's to celebrate, you're leaving me alone with a league of idiots." They both laughed at the truth in the joke.
"Go put on something nice and don't take an hour."
Roy snorted. "I'm not that much of a woman."
"That's wasn't the case two weeks ago." Riza murmured as Roy yelled at him for taking away the last of her manhood.
She was changing into a dress he had bought her a while back. She still felt a little awkward wearing woman's clothing. Not to mention Hawkeye's sudden rise in the ranks and power. She was suspicious, she still didn't know how to react to this. She felt a slew of emotions rush through her, she groaned. What happened to the good old days, when she could just be angry and be over with it. It would be interesting to see where this event would lead them.
Dinner had gone well, they both had a wonderful meal. Riza couldn't help but stare at Roy's cleavage eighty percent of the time. He felt like a pig, why were men so infatuated with them. Yet, that still didn't keep him from looking. He waved it off and paid half the check, she would never let him pay the whole amount. They walked out hand in hand when Riza realized he had forgotten something.
"Damn, I forgot my watch in there. I'll be right back." Riza ran inside and Roy was left alone in the dark. She felt a little nervous, their was a man staring at her. He walked over to her, he reeked of cheap cologne not like Riza.
He looked her up and down and smiled. "So, what is a pretty girl like you doing out here at night." He attempted to sneak an arm around her when she smacked it off. "Oh, feisty, I like them feisty." He grabbed her wrists and she broke into a sweat. She tired to reach into her purse to get her spark gloves. She would torch this bastard's ass so bad, he would feel like he had fell into a volcano. Before she could royally whip this guys ass Riza came out of the restaurant. His handsome face cringed into, possibly, the angriest she had ever seen him, man or woman. He ran over to the situation and grabbed the guy by his collar.
"What the fuck do you think your doing to her!" He seethed out as he threw the man on the ground.
"I was just after the same thing you are buddy, that ass." He smirked at Riza.
"You don't talk about her that way! You don't fucking talk about her that way!" He screamed in the other man's face. He felt anger and an aggressive nature course through his body. He punched the guy square in the jaw and then one more in the stomach. The man went down in pain cursing at the couple. "Come on Roy we're leaving." Riza said bluntly as he started to walk away.
Roy on the other hand had other ideas. She went up to the man who attempted to attack and kicked him in the groin, hard. He screamed out in pain and Roy smirked. "I know just how bad that hurts." He looked at her confused. "If you ever try that again, you are dead." She threatened, she pulled out her gloves and prepared to snap.
"Yo-you, you're the Flame Alchemist!" His eyes widened in fear. "I, though the flame was a man."
Roy laughed bitterly. "I was." She smacked his face with her glove and ran off to join the blond.
They were back at home, getting ready for bed. Riza wrapped his arms around Roy and kissed her neck. "I'll never let that happen again, I'll protect you." He whispered into her ear.
"I don't need to be protected." She mumbled as she pulled him down on top of her. "So..." She paused. "Why don't you make me feel like a woman stud. " She said dramatically. She laughed in her head at her little joke. But, then she was pushed into the mattress.
"You got it babe." He said huskily. He couldn't stop himself, he was getting out of control. He had never acted this way before, never delved into full manhood. It was kind of scary, he truly was a man. The phone rang and he sighed in frustration. "Damn!" Riza said, he wanted to get back to business. "What!" He answered, Fullmetal was on the other line. "Ed, Roy will talk to you tomorrow we're busy! He hung up the phone and continued what was at hand.
