Stags
Roy had the feeling that this was one of the mildest bachelor parties that there had been in a long time. They had the pub to themselves, and no one had bothered to hire a stripper or anything of the sort. Quite honestly, that suited him just fine. He really wasn't in the mood for a night of drunken revelry and scantily clad girls who weren't Riza. But a stag party was traditional, and Roy was enjoying spending some time with the guys. Having everyone here like this hadn't happened in awhile.
Both Ed and Alphonse were looking good. Alphonse had just recently returned from Xing along with Mei and had plenty of stories to tell from his trip. Edward himself was a little mellower these days. Winry was most likely the reason for that. Marriage suited the older Elric brother quite well. And while Roy did get to see Fuery, Breda, and Falman on a regular basis, it was nice to spend time with them that wasn't work related. Havoc too was here, showing off just how well he'd recovered. The fact that he had recovered the use of his legs had always been a relief to Roy.
Fuhrur Grumman was here as well. It might be his granddaughter who was getting married, but he'd been something of an uncle figure for Roy as well. They had even managed to pry Ling away from his bodyguard for the evening. In truth, the only person who was really missing was Maes. He would have absolutely loved this. He had wanted to see Roy and Riza married for years even though he'd known exactly why it wasn't likely to happen. Maes would have wanted Roy to enjoy his wedding, and Roy would, but it was a little bittersweet all the same. Edward would be his best man instead of Maes. But there was too much joy in this event for grief to completely overshadow. After all, he was marrying Riza in just a few days.
