Gomenasai gomenasai gomenasaiiiiiii! (I turn into Ritsu Sohma when I apologize.) I've had final exams and preparing for graduation and prom so I've been busy. Plus my writers block returned.

I advertised ScarXLust so here it (finally) is!

Disclaimer-If I owned FMA I would have A LOT of money. Right now I have about $10 in my wallet. You tell me if I own it.

Chapter 10-Meanwhile…

Here's a basic summary of the story thus far: Central city is in lockdown because Scar has been spotted. Though he has only murdered State Alchemists the entire city is in lockdown just in case. Inside headquarters, there is a lot of drama happening. Havoc is in love Fuery but is afraid to admit his feelings for fear of being rejected; Fuery is too shy to tell Havoc how he feels; Roy flirts with Riza but doesn't think it will get him anywhere; Riza doesn't want to have a relationship with someone she works with but she is in love with Roy; Ed is freaked out by the fact that his enemy, Envy, has a crush on him and is now in the building; Envy wants to make Ed his boyfriend; and Al is blissfully unaware of everything.

Got that? 'Cuz I'm not repeating it.

Meanwhile, outside of headquarters…

Save for several soldiers scattered in different areas, the streets of Central City were empty.

Or so it seemed.

In fact, two people were watching them, taking great precaution to avoid being caught. It was Scar and Lust, who didn't want to cause trouble but somehow had caused the entire city to go into lockdown.

To make a long story short they were dating. Love makes people do crazy things. It makes people sing gushy love songs to the one they care about. It makes people distracted and spacey as they are constantly thinking about their special person. It makes them forget that they are wanted by the military and go out on a date in a restaurant in Central. Love is not only blind, it's also forgetful.

Scar was recognized by one of the waiters. A lot of screaming ensued and before the two lovers could escape from the city the soldiers had arrived. They'd managed to run off before the soldiers saw them and were now hiding in a dark alley along with a sleeping hobo.

"I can't say I'm sorry enough." Scar said through gritted teeth as he held Lust's hand. "It's my entire fault that we're in this stupid lockdown."

"I have blame to share too," Lust said. "I was the one who suggested going out to dinner in Central. I forgot you're wanted by the military."

"You'd think someone wouldn't forget something like that." Scar scratched the back of his head.

Lust smiled. "Well this is definitely one of the more exciting dates I've ever been on."

Scar frowned. "Exciting? I'm causing you nothing but trouble."

"You call this trouble?! Do you know the things I've done?" Lust said, looking straight into his eyes. "The pain I put people through? I've caused much more suffering than you have." She looked down, tears streaming down her eyes. "I hate myself. I'm a horrible person."

Scar put his hand on her cheek, wiping her tears away. "You aren't." he said softly. "A horrible person wouldn't feel guilty for their actions. They don't care about anyone else, only themselves. Look at you; you're crying for those people you hurt. You care about other people. I love that you are so caring."

Lust half smiled and chuckled. "What you love about me is what I love about you."

"Oi; Get a room, will 'ya?" the sleeping hobo mumbled.

Unlike Havoc and Fuery/Roy and Riza, they decided to listen to this piece of advice and sneak into a motel. Because you should always listen to the advice of hobos. They are quite smart. Then again, wouldn't it be smarter to try to escape first? Oh well. As I said; love makes people do crazy things.

To be continued…

Whoa; they are seriously out of character! I warned you that they would be in the first chapter. I wouldn't mind flames; I think I went too OOC.
