The class room had turned cold and so did the blood within Riza's body, she was staring at the pink rose held between his fingers holding out to her. What just happened? Riza gulped as smoothly as she could however she could not, her heart was beating far too quickly now. Roy was staring at her smiling gently but still as serious, this is wrong, I don't know this person. He raised a hand and scratched the top of his black and messy hair making it unkempt but charming, it is just like that person I saw, and he too had messy dark hair. It was becoming clearer to her, that tall person was in a blue uniform and so was she, there was two file in her hands. She could see the name of each folders; someone called Edward and Alphonse Elric. The red seal of the King was imprinted on the Edward file, she watched as the person in front of her waving his arms around apparently pissed. "Why do I have to baby sit that brat?" he said angrily but she understood he wasn't. She just knew…
"What do you say?" Roy asked again though it was in a soft whisper, he had stopped the action of rubbing his head and was awaiting her answer patiently. Those names are not the same as the Ed and AL from our class, their sir name weren't Elric; it was Von. Riza was about to shake her head when she realized that Roy was not behind her any longer but was in front of her, he seemed to have ran out of patience. Roy placed a hand on Riza head. Strangely, Riza could not move, she could just stare. In her mind, she had flown to another scene. That familiar room, a hospital room which she was in before; the person she had watched before was sitting next to the woman on the bed. He had his hand on her forehead as well, patting on it and nuzzling it with his own head. She could feel a strong gravity in his heart, unspoken sadness. He was thinking of something in his mind; he needed her…
Riza felt a sudden force in front of her; she broke away from her hallucination. The whole situation was very strange, they were not in the class room any longer; instead they were in a smaller room with wooden walls and Riza was pressed to the wall behind her, Roy had pinned her, with his arms gripping her shoulders rather painfully. She thought both her collar bone could have snapped into many pieces. She threw her glance everywhere else besides her attackers face, they were in a house of some sort, there was a bed in the middle and the pink color rose from before was laying on the sheets, though now its petals was turned into a dark shade of red. The light that was shining in was also blood red, nothing here made sense; the bell should have ringed a long time ago. Where were her friends? And the next teacher that was taking the next class? Someone please help her. Ever since being pinned, she hadn't been able to move an inch or say a single word.
She could feel his warm breath on her neck; it was as though she was having a fever, and everything was going warmer and warmer. Where his hands were all impropriate, and she does not like this, Roy wouldn't such a thing to her. Tears were flowing from her eyes, not because of her situation; it was due to sudden realization of where she was and who that tall person in pain caring for the sick woman sleeping peacefully was. The kind person whom she knows that had the same name as this boy attacking her, Roy mustang. Flashes of memories came running into her frozen brain; she was the Hawkeye where in the desert she was the sniper whom had to kill the people with red eyes and brown skin; she did not like the bloodshed however her soul was stained, that war had brought her ideals to the ground. However in her tower, she had shot one of those people from attacking two officers on the ground. One of which that she knew very well, the person will black hair and the secrets; that she trusted him with. After the war, she joined the military to be at this person side, he had his own goals and his promise to her was too rebuild a fallen desert country and re-do the policies of the existing one. His heart was pure and did his best to protect her. Therefore…therefore…Riza felt a kiss on her neck and the hands which was groping everywhere else.
"STOP IT!" her voice had finally returned to her being, Roy jumped away surprised that she could still speak. Riza had opened her eyes to her immediate problem; her body was shaking as though an earthquake had erupted within her. She glared at the boy who stood up; his expression unreadable. "You still believe in him?" he asked her. Riza buttoned her shirt right back, though she was having some trouble as her hands were still trembling. She stared at his question, "Yes" she had always believed in him, no matter how silly he was or how he procrastinate work to his subordinates. He was the hope she had, more than that…he was also an important person to her…
The Roy nodded slowly though scowling at her answer, "We are disappearing…" he said as he peered himself in the mirror nearby, true enough, parts of himself was fading.
Riza stood up while she supported herself with the wall behind her; she was still afraid however there were still unanswered questions. "Why?"
Roy shook his head and shrugged, he held out a hand beckoning her to hold it back. But she held back, he walked to the door and opened it. Riza had to squint as bright light shone in; even covering her eyes did not help much. She felt it pulling her in, fearing that it was pulling her away to somewhere that she could not return. Riza refused to let go of the window grill. "Don't worry, hold my hand." She heard him shout, Roy was next to her holding out his own hand. Should she take it? Deciding to trust him, she placed her own in his. Roy squeezed it, the light was getting stronger. Where are they going? Everything in the room had disappeared; the two figures were in a limbo of some type. It was a long and colorful tube, and they were flying through. Roy taking the lead while Riza grasped his hand fearing to let go, soon they came to a distorted window. He opened the grill and gestured Riza to go through even though she afraid and apprehensive, she listened to him.
Both Roy and Riza landed to a place where Riza had been hallucinating previously, the hospital. She let go of their joined hands and walked towards the bed, currently there was no one in the room besides them and the woman in the bed. She approached the bed, somewhere in her heart she knew who the person was sleeping so soundly. It was her, Riza Hawkeye. "Colonel! Get out of the way!" she shouted at the man standing defenselessly in the open. A large rock which was from the explosion earlier came crashing down. The man was not moving, Riza moved quickly through the other fallen rubble and shoved the stunned person out of harm way. –How could you have given this easily, it is not like you…-.
The door behind them opened, Riza turned around and saw him entering. Why are you in a mess, colonel? And you didn't shave today… She watched as her disheveled superior, flame alchemist Roy mustang walk through her striding pass her towards her sleeping self. "We do not exist in this time flow." She heard Roy answering her unspoken question; she was something similar to a ghost huh? She sat on the chair opposite where the colonel had decided to seat, Roy, her oddball of a classmate was standing behind her. She heard what the colonel had to say, about the eraser. Can't believe he went to dig a bin just to find that thing to keep it, about the ring. About his recklessness, Glad you know, sir…she whispered to herself, smirking at the same time.
The colonel paused in his words; he was about to say something important. She can tell, but before she could listen further. Riza felt a tug on her sleeves, she glanced to her side, only to see Hayate, her sister looking at her. "Onee-chan…please don't go, don't leave us. You can stay with all of us forever and ever. Why do you want to go?" she asked half sobbing, Riza heart ached a little before sighing. "I am sorry, Hayate. I love to be with you and live a peaceful life too however that can only be a dream. You aren't real and I can't stay."
"Even not with your mother?" Riza was not surprised at the new figure that appeared next to her sister. Again, she shook her head. "I have always wanted you to return after you abandoned both father and myself, however when six years had passed; I realized that I could survive even without you by my side. In my memories though, you will always still be living right here" she spoke placing her hand at her heart "We can never be living together, that was just all a dream. I am needed here in my own world" unknown to Riza, her mother was smiling gently, I am very proud of you, my dear. Her mother faded away slowly.
"Onee-chan…" her sister had her head down though Riza could tell that she was still sobbing, she had to say something to assure her but Riza had no idea what to say, the next few words that she said though made Riza eyes burn.
"If there was a choice, I want to be your sister once again…I love you…" A few drops of tears slide down Riza cheeks and fell to the floor, she glanced side ways to see that her sister was fading away. No, wait. She was a made believed sister but there was a relationship between the two of them, it may be fake but the ache in her heart existed. "Wait!" Riza cried, she had her arms around the fading figure. Trying to hold her, but there was nothing left. Riza recoiled slightly, Hayate…
"Have you made your choice?" Roy asked her, she looked up and saw that Roy was not behind her any longer and was a couple of feet away from her. He was fading as well; several other silhouettes of people were standing next to him. Riza breathed deeply and nodded. She stood up and approached the group of fading people standing there; she faced Roy but addressed all of them.
"Thank you, all of you. It was the most beautiful dream I ever had…but it is just a dream, I am not staying. He needs me. More like she needed him." She said with immense gratitude and turned away from them, Riza approached her own sleeping body, and her body had been calling her back all this while. She must return. "Good luck, Onee-chan!" the last of the silhouettes disappeared.
Riza felt light, she was upset too but she knew that it was for the best. A dream will forever to be a dream, reality and the people who were waiting for her were more important. She woke a moment later peering into darkness, actually not really. She had been pressed into his chest as he hugged her tightly; they are so going to be court marshaled. "Give me a chance to show you with the rest of my life, they I can let you be truly happy!" She heard him shout above her head. Her heart was grinning even though her face could not.
"Why don't you start by doing your work on time?" she replied him weakly, she felt the pressure against her head release slightly. She glanced up words, was the room this bright? Riza saw vaguely the upset colonel face re written with a new emotion; relieved. She tried to beam at him in an attempt to assure him but her facial muscles seemed to have hardened, but without warning she felt his warm lips make contact with hers. The shock to feeling something this human sent tingling sensations down her spine, however she felt even more droplets of tears falling from his eyes to her cheeks. Her own eyes were however already dry, dried away during her trip back to her own body.
This was the Roy Mustang that she knew, gentle and prone to over worrying. She had feared that she would not be able to see him again, feelings that she had tried to hid over such long years surfaced. Why was it so true, when only you are facing death that you realize what was truly important to you.
"It is not good to cry this much, Roy." She finished and wiped away his streaks of tears. There was nothing to lie or hide about. She Loved him, that was the truth and It was her feelings towards him that made her discover that the dream was not real.
She watched sleepily as the colonel bounced away to the door, telling her that he would inform the rest that she had awakened. He asks her to rest a while and disappeared through the door, she stared at the ceiling. She was not sleepy, probably due to the fact she had slept too long already. Something too was weighing heavily in her mind… Hayate-chan… Did she really want a sister therefore she existed in her dream appearing to her as one. And her mother too… maybe it was time to visit her grave…
Riza stifled a yawn and glanced at the door, when is he coming back?
The bright blue glow from the moon lighted her room from the windows; Riza breathed deeply and smelled strong disinfectant. Oh my, this was surely the real world...she grinned to herself, the dream world seemed to have none.
