Chapter 1

At the Backstage door

"She looked like Nancy Spungen... a classic punk rock chick."

"Hot in a sub pop rock god sort of way"

- What Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love said about each other when they met


At a concert in a small town in the eastern area of Amestris called Aberdeen. A new band was about to play a show to get a Record deal with Soap Box Records. It was a band of 3 young boys who were all 19. They were backstage and were getting everything ready for the show. These three young men were very popular in their small hometown. With many fan girls cheering for them. One of them had short blonde hair and had blue eyes, He was smoking a Cigarette while laying back on the sofa, Playing bass, His name was Jean Havoc. One of the band members was talking to a girl he met two days ago, He had short black hair with a strand of hair in front of his face, He was wearing glasses, His Name was Maes Hughes. And the leader of the band was chilling at the sofa, Waiting to get on stage. He was the most popular of all the band members and the fan girls most favorite. He had Black messy hair and Onyx eyes, His name was Roy Mustang.

"Hey Roy" Said Jean

"Yeah Havoc"

"Be on your best behavior tonight"

"My best Behavior" Roy said laughing "Alright sure"

"Hey! Listen man, I don't like it as much as you, But we have to tonight"

"Who said we have to?"

"Look we don't have any more stuff for us to smash, We got to take it easy tonight and impress the Label"

"Jean... If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen"

"Dude..."

"Look Havoc when we agreed to make this band, We said we would do whatever we want and not follow anyone rules"

"I Know Roy... I just want us to get a deal and make big money"

"Well I don't care if we are big are not. I didn't care about that when I was living with the old man and my mother, Before they broke up and I don't care about where the band is heading. As long as we do whatever we do, Sing whatever we fucking want to sing, And life the way we choose to live, Then everything is right with the world."

They sat there silent until someone backstage came in. "Five Minutes" The stage hand said

"Thank you" Roy and Jean said in unison

Hughes came in while Roy and Havoc picked up their instruments. They all were trying to remember the songs they were gonna play before heading to the stage. "Okay we are ready" Roy said, As they headed to the stage.


The band that was performing just got out of the stage after an awesome performance with all four of them celebrating. The Bass player earned praised from all the members. She was a 16 year old who was very smart and graduated in top of her high school. She had short Blonde hair and Amber eyes, Her name was Riza Hawkeye.

"Yeah they really loved us" Said Riza

They got out of the stage, Heading into backstage when Riza stayed back just to check on her Guitar, Untill someone bumped into her.

"OW!" Yelled Riza. It was Havoc who bumped into her, He kept running towards the stage, While giving a quick sorry. She tried to get up when someone took her hand and help her up.

"Are you alright?" Said Roy

"Yeah I'm Oka-" Riza Stopped when she saw Roy face. They both looked at each other stunned, Riza couldn't say anything, She was completely stunned by Roy's good looks. Most of her brain told her to kiss him, But she was too shy and it might turn awkward. After a few seconds Roy snapped back to Reality and remembered he has to go to the stage quick.

"Um... Okay bye" Roy said, Running to the stage

"Wa... Wait" Said Riza, But he was already gone. She stood there wondering who he was and she wanted to know badly. She walked to the stage to see his band perform.


As Roy band was called to the stage he walked up to the mic and looked around the whole sea of fans cheering. He was happy to see that everyone in his hometown came to see them perform. He looked around some more to find the heads of the label.

"Hello Aberdeen!' Roy Said, While people cheered "We are Inferno and we came here to fuck shit up!"

The music started playing and already people were starting to bounce. The Heads of the label were impressed on how pumped up the crowd was by Mustang. It was like he can connect with the fans. Already it seemed like Inferno was gonna be huge stars. Riza saw and was amaze on Roy's energy. Everything was going good, Then Jean got nervous when Roy was taking off the guitar while playing. That means that Roy was about to trash the Instruments. Maes was playing the drums faster and louder to pump up the crowd, For the Instrument smashing, While Jean (Trying to look cool) hopped to Roy, Trying to stop him from smashing the Instruments, But Roy ignored Jean then threw his guitar up to the air and smashed to pieces as it hit the ground. The heads were alarmed at first, But seeing that the crowd cheered it made be something huge for the label, Already they decided Inferno would be perfect for Soap Box Records. Riza saw how Roy and his band were destroying equipment. Shocked but amaze on how Roy brought the crowd to an uproar. She was mesmerized on how bad he was, Heck he was a true rebel.


After the show Maes and Jean were already out of the town, Celebrating about their record deal, While Roy was still backstage packing things up, Until he heard a knock. He want and opened the door, It was Riza.

"Hey" Roy said

"Um... Hey" Riza Said, Trying to come up what to say

"You're that girl from before"

"Yeah I am"

"Oh hey sorry about that are you okay?"

"Yeah don't sweat it"

"Cool um... Come in"

She was blushing on what he just said. She went in and sat on the sofa, With Roy sitting next to her.

"So anyway" Said Roy "You're a member of that band that performed before us right?"

"Yeah I'm the bass guitarist, We are named Hole"

"Oh... So what you came over for"

"Oh! I-I Just wanted to say you were very awesome" Riza Said, Blushing. She never blushed this much in fact never even blushed. "And that I like your band"

A smirk was across his lips, He can read her like a book "Oh" Roy said "Really you like my band"

"Ummm... Yeah I liked your music"

She looked away from his face just to relax herself, Until Roy arms was wrapped around her waist and then Roy kissed Riza. She was Blushing like crazy and her heart beat was faster than normal. It made her day a thousand times better. She wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes, Then all of the sudden Roy put his tongue into her mouth. She blushed and pulled away.

"Yo-You just put your tongue!"

Roy looked at her confused

"What You wanted to"

"How would you know!" She said blushing

"You made two mistakes honey"

Riza looked at him in shock

"First you came in without an excuse thought up and second you said you liked my band, Many girls who like me always say that"

Riza was embarrassed, He really could read her like a book.

"And judging from your reaction from me sticking my tongue in your mouth, You not really a bad chick, But you want to be one"

"Oh god" Riza said in embarrassment "You really found me out"

"Hey it's alright" He leaned in closer to whisper in his ear "I like you too"

She blushed again, He really knew how to make blush and it kept making her more attracted to him. They kissed again with Riza being a little relax, Even with his tongue in his mouth. Both of them were in there having fun in the moment.


Sorry for it being kinda short. The next chapter will take you back into Roy and Riza's Childhood back in Aberdeen in order to understand their character in the story. Since it's Spring Break I won't be writing much, But please be patient. At least read my two other fan fics I made.
