"I'm going to marry you, you know that?"
The girl in his arms shifted slightly. "Mhmm."
"I mean it."
"I know, Roy."
"You'll have me, won't you?"
"Of course." Though she didn't see why he always wanted to talk after they… were intimate. All that she wanted to do was cuddle up close to him and fall asleep listening to his heart beating.
"I'm going to propose to you after you graduate high school. But we won't get married until after you graduate college. I don't know, maybe I'll go for my master's in the meantime."
He probably had their entire future mapped out, knowing Roy. He'd probably even picked out their first house.
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
"I mean it, Riza. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life without you."
"Mmm."
His gaze fell upon her face, and a blush slowly found its way onto his cheeks. "Right. I always forget that you'd rather talk in the morning."
"'S fine," Riza mumbled as she pulled herself closer to him, resting her head on his chest, though she knew too well that she'd wake up to find Roy spooning her.
He began playing with her golden-blonde hair. "You're beautiful."
Riza mumbled something that was either a variation of "thank you" or a variation of "shut up, Roy".
He smiled. "I'll try to go to sleep now."
In response, Riza nuzzled in closer to him.
"Goodnight, sweetheart."
Note: Roy's girlfriend that he talked about in chapter eight? Of course it was Riza, who else would it be? We wanted to get this up before the new year, but chapters eleven and twelve are not fully finished as of yet, so there may be a bit of a wait. That being said, we know this is a very short chapter and kind of angsty, and we intend to make it up to you.
