He found her at the roof, looking straight at the sky.

"Ah! There you are, Ri!" Roy Mustang yelled in a sing song manner. He reached the last rung of the ladder and jumped as he stepped on the roof.

Riza Hawkeye, his teacher's daughter, glared at him in a manner that only she can. She placed her index finger to her lips to quiet him.

"Oops, sorry." The fifteen-year-old boy whispered as he tiptoed towards Riza. She rolled her eyes at him and continued staring at the sky. Roy debated whether he should lie down beside her or just sit down. He wanted badly to feel what it was like, lying down next to a girl you like. But when the girl you like is Riza Hawkeye, you will certainly have second thoughts. So he decided to sit down instead.

"It is way past your bedtime." Roy said, watching the stars on the sky mirrored on Riza's eyes.

She glared at him again. "Which is why I told you to be quiet; Father does not know I am here."

"He will, if he sees the ladder near his bedroom window." He gestured at the ladder.

She lifted her hand. Roy knew what it meant. She wanted him to be quiet. But because he was Roy Mustang, he did the opposite of what she said.

"What brings you here?"

Riza heaved a sigh, it seemed like she wouldn't get the peace and quiet she wanted. With a straight face, she asked. "Aren't they beautiful?"

Roy never tore his gaze away from her. "Yeah, you are."

She tried to contain her small laugh, but she found it hard to. "Idiot, do you even know what I am talking about?"

Roy's eyes widened as he realized what he just said. Shit. "Uh, no." He shook his head.

"You're turning red like a tomato, Roy." She laughed as she teased him, poking his stomach with a stick she found lying somewhere.

It was Roy's turn to glare back at her, but she did not notice it as she pointed to the sky. "I was talking about the stars."

He followed her gaze and gasped. It was not as beautiful as the girl he was talking to right now, but it was amazing. They glowed and twinkled in the sky, looking down at the people on earth like they deserved such thing.

"Yeah," he said. He turned his gaze to her. "They are beautiful."

Riza rolled her eyes. "Do you want to join me stargazing? You can lie down here next to me, you know."

"Sure!" Roy exclaimed right away as he did what he was told, and she laughed. He loved hearing her laugh.

The thought that he was lying down next to her was just sinking in, and suddenly he became sweaty. She began telling him all the facts she knew about stars, and he wasn't really listening to every word she said – he was listening to the sound of her voice. He kept staring at her and she still doesn't notice. He can see the wonder in her eyes. He can see galaxies in the freckles on her face.

Riza continued pointing out all the constellations she knew, not noticing the way the boy beside her swallow her whole through his eyes.

"That one is Orion, it is very easy to identify along with the Ursa Major, and that one is-"

"You really must love the topic of stars." Roy said.

Riza faced him with a small smile on her face. "Yeah. Well not just stars, Roy." She glanced back at the sky again. "I love reading about the universe as a whole."

He followed her gaze. "You mean planets, moons – stuff like those?"

"Yeah," Riza rested her head on her right hand as she looked at Roy. "You know what? I sometimes think that there are living things in other galaxies."

He noted how their faces were somehow close. "Oh really? Like an alien?" He also noted how she felt at ease with him somehow that night. She was smiling more often. Maybe it was because of their topic. But he was enjoying every minute.

"I was thinking that it could be possible that there are creatures that looked like us." She lied down again.

Roy smiled at the idea. "Imagine that there is a Riza and a Roy also looking at the sky right now, in whatever planet the live in. And that the Riza in the planet also loves stars."

"The Roy in there must be an idiot, too."

"Hey!"

She laughed as she stood up and held out her hand to him. "Let's go, Father might be wondering where we are."

He took her hand and stood up. Roy did not want to leave yet, but his hand on hers made him felt dizzy.

"Are you alright?" She asked, still not aware that they were holding hands.

He just squeezed her hand tight, and she looked at him back with the same wonder that she has when she looked at the stars.
