A/N: I'm sorry that this took a really long time for this chapter to come up. I have a tumblr and there has been a lot of drama concerning Royai fan fictions and because of the drama, I have been wondering if A 'Love'lyYear was one of those kinds of fan fiction that is "terribly OOC." While I have gotten feedback from my followers on Tumblr to ignore that, I still have that feeling that this may be a OOC Team Mustang Fan fiction. And then my muse was killed and I couldn't write for awhile. But now it's back and I know what I'm writing about.

I think I consider it OOC because some of the characters are half drunk during this story...

Give me your opinion. I won't mind.

Also, Chapter 11 wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. The dates and what ever happened within the story screwed up my thinking and now I was pushing for things to happen.

So, I give to you, "Words Left Unsaid Part I, the twelfth chapter of A 'Love'lyYear!


Chapter 12: Words Left Unsaid Part I

What Havoc was thinking was suicide.

He knew that his superior officer had a thing for Lieutenant Hawkeye. There was no doubt about it. How could anyone still keep their cool when Lieutenant Hawkeye has always been in their life? How could Roy prevent feelings from budding up?

Though, thanks to the fraternization laws, those two could never hold a relationship without anyone getting in the way. Their love was never meant to be unless one of them was to retire from the military and be a citizen. And knowing those two, neither of them would be willing to do it.

How would Havoc want to die? Would he like to be burnt to a crisp or would he want to get his heart punched out Xingese style? Or how about being shot to death?

As he kept on thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that Lieutenant Hawkeye probably doesn't have any feelings for their superior officer. She was always stoic and rarely showed any emotion at work. Not only that, but she follows the code of conduct religiously, meaning that if she were to have any feelings for Colonel Mustang, it probably was eliminated by now.

He couldn't stop thinking about the possibilities and the outcomes of his sinister plan. If he were to implement his plan, he wouldn't have to kiss Dark Night and he would win 50,000 cenz. Though if he were, he faces the wrath of both the Flame Alchemist and the Dark Night Alchemist (if she were to find out.)

The only one who would join Falman in winning the challenge was Fuery. He's on the verge of asking out Megumi Mikimoto after getting clearance from her sister. Breda has given up, Mustang is still single and so is Hawkeye. Havoc thought that if he were to date Hawkeye, then it would be hitting two birds with one stone. It was perfect.

But he would have to ask her out without Mustang around.

Luckily for him, the next day, Colonel Mustang was called up to Fuhrer Grumman's office without Lieutenant Hawkeye. It was rare for those two to be separated, but Grumman insisted that she stay down in the office and as she won't be needed up stairs. Havoc quickly made his move, "So, Lieutenant, how is that challenge going?"

"It's ruining everything," she said bluntly. "I heard Rebecca broke up with you."

Havoc laughed nervously, "Yeah, that wasn't so…" He slowly recalled memories of that day. "Well, let's just say I've moved on."

She looked up at him and noticed that he was trying to win her over. Riza shook her head, returning back to her paperwork. "No, Lieutenant Havoc."

He looked at her with disbelief, "I didn't even—"

"Fraternization laws. I'm a rank above you meaning that I am also a superior officer of yours. Thus, if we were to date, it wouldn't work out. The same thing applies to me and the Colonel."

Havoc didn't want to be shot down or get killed. He has to make her say yes! "Are you dating anyone at the moment?"

"No," she lied. Ever since the incident, she has been in a relationship with Colonel Mustang. She hated that she had to lie about it to everyone and that she turned herself into a hypocrite. She knew that after the tenth of June, everything will be better and Roy can return to devoting his life to his goal: becoming Fuhrer.

Havoc sighed, "The only one who is going to win is Fuery."

"And Falman," she added.

Havoc smirked, "Y'know, if you and I were to get together, it would be getting more for your—" She grabbed her gun from her holster, clicked off the safety and pointed it at Havoc's head with one swift movement. She was still focused on the paperwork in front of her, using her right hand to sign it and holding the gun with her left hand. Havoc started to sweat.

"Lieutenant Havoc, the answer is no and get back to work before I shoot you," she grumbled as Havoc took a step back and started to head back to his desk. "If I were to offer you a piece of advice: fix up your relationship with Rebecca first. She's still complaining about it since you two broke up."

Havoc slowly sat in his desk, pulling out a piece of paper that had Rebecca's phone number. He just looked at it as his heart started to sink. He loved Rebecca—there was no doubt about it, and he was willing to date her for more than a month or two. He wasn't going to break up with her unless something serious happened where he needed to break up with her. He had thought of the future with her and everything. Now, he was left with nothing. Why couldn't Havoc just get up and move? He felt like he was paralyzed again—useless and unsure about what to do.

Since Rebecca, he has looked at women much more differently. He likes the natural types—not the pretty fake ones that he had been courting around and that Mustang eventually stole from him. Why couldn't he find the courage to ask Rebecca for forgiveness?

Right, because Havoc was on the verge of becoming infertile by what she had done to him at the breakup.


June 9, 1916 6:45 PM

Roy Mustang slammed the last piece of paperwork down on the outbox sitting at the corner of his desk. He smiled widely, capping his pen and turning off the desk light. Once again, he had succeeded in finishing his paperwork in record time. His reasons were fair and simple: he wanted to impress Lieutenant Hawkeye so that the two of them could meet out tonight. Havoc was on the verge of finishing the paper work when Roy finished his; and now he was struggling to get the last paragraphs read before signing it. The last time Havoc rushed himself into doing this, he accidentally agreed to training the cadets. It turned out to be a pain in the ass. All of the cadets' shots were scattered across the field. Then when they went through the obstacle course, the men were worst than Havoc in a wheelchair. Never again has Havoc not read all of the terms and agreements.

Roy had his jacket on, strolling across the office. Riza closed her book in a nonchalant way, standing up and looking at her superior officer with a cold look. "A new record isn't it, Lieutenant?" Roy asked, almost brimming with happiness.

She nodded as she grabbed her jacket from the coat rack. "How about you Lieutenant Havoc?"

He didn't answer her. He kept his eyes moving across the page until he understand every last word. Finally, he took out his pen and signed his name across the bottom. He too slammed the paper on the outbox in front of him, putting his pen back in the drawer and exchanging it for his cigarettes. He decided to head out fast enough so he could get to the bar and snatch a couple of girls. This was his last resort. Any girl to stay with him for more than a month wins. "See you later, Chief," he called out as he stormed through.

Roy watched his Lieutenant move quickly. He looked back at Riza, "Do you know where he's going?"

"No sir," she stated, walking next to him. She was ready to escort him home, as usual, but this time, Roy had something else on his mind.

"Why don't we go out for a drink tonight, Lieutenant? We've been working so hard lately and…" his voice started to trail off. He couldn't find the perfect way to ask Riza out on dates any more. There was always something about the situation that bothered him, and he knew that it wasn't because of the deal he struck with her. It was more than just that.

"Sir, if we go out for a drink, you're going to get drunk, and knowing what has been going on in the last month, I don't think it would be a bright idea for you to go drinking," Riza stated bluntly. Roy didn't catch anything about the deal and put his focus on what has been going on in Ishval. Things were starting to change for the better, but there were now a group of rebels that were willing to attack if anything didn't go their way. While the military has been exigent about the changes, the rebels have not seen eye to eye with the popular opinion. In any case, Roy and Riza would need to head down to Ishval more often than before. It would be easier for them if they were in Eastern Command, but until their transfer, they would call Central home.

Roy huffed, "Fine, then I'll take you out for a simple dinner. Nothing fancy; just a diner in town."

Riza slowly looked up at him. It didn't sound like a bad idea. They used to do these kinds of get-togethers when Roy just entered the military and came to visit Riza in her hometown. They would often hit diners and share their stories over cups of coffee or hot chocolate. "Sure, why not?"

Roy smiled as he offered his arm for Riza to hold. Like a magnet, she came to him, wrapping her fingers around his bicep. He smiled at her as they walked out of Central Command. Maybe this could last more than one day.

The moment Havoc stepped outside, he stuck a cigarette in his mouth. He really needed to smoke this day out; Fuery was telling all the things that happened over the phone with Megumi as if he was a teenage girl while Breda was on the verge of wringing the young soldier's shoulder in jealousy. There were days like this when Havoc really missed Falman. He missed picking on someone who was as inexperienced as Falman. Fuery was in the same boat at him, but after awhile, Fuery started to get sassy with it and the fun was gone. And since the break up with Rebecca, Havoc has been irritable. He hasn't gone down to the gun range since that day even though that would release the majority of his anger. Instead, he has been taking it out on Fuery.

Breda decided to ask something from Fuery, "How are things going with the young Mikimoto?" It seemed that since Megumi was introduced to the team, they distinguished 'young Mikimoto' as her and Dark Night or the Major as Ayame.

Havoc grumbled, "I bet it's fucking fantastic, isn't it Fuery?"

Fuery blushed, looking down at his hands on his lap, "W-Well… s-she was kind of happy to see me last night."

"And what did you do? Fuck her up yet?" Havoc grumbled.

Fuery flicked his head up, "N-No! G-God, no! S-She's like sixteen, isn't she?"

"You're kind of 'raiding the cradle' there, Fuery," he retorted.

"It's only a couple of years," Fuery complained. It went on like this for a couple of hours until Riza decided to pull her gun and tell them to get back to work. Fuery pushed his glasses up his nose and began to work, but Havoc still lazed around, glaring at the young sergeant. It wasn't very long until Riza shot him and Havoc snapped straight back to work.

Now he was smoking out his problems. Every now and then, a drink would accompany him as he sat in Central City Park with a bottle of whiskey that he had. He was out of his military uniform, but he was still pretty recognizable from the streetlights. He took a big swig from the bottle before lighting up another cigarette. He forgot about his initial plan to go drinking and find any girl that he could at the bar. In the eyes of any one, the way Havoc was acting was almost childish (to an extent, of course) and in order for him to get a girl, he should clean up his act.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could make out two shadows in the distance. One was a lean girl, the other was a man. The girl was shorter than the man and her hair was almost the same length. However, Havoc was half sober enough to see a blur around her face. He yelled out, "Rebecca! Oh shit, no that's you Lieutenant Hawkeye! Hey, why the heck are you with Fuery?"

Havoc was correct that the other man was Fuery, but the girl that he thought was Riza was actually Megumi. She was pulled in very close to Fuery with his black over jacket on her shoulders. She looked into the darkness to see a man smoking and drinking on the bench. Clutching on to Fuery's jacket lapel, she murmured, "Who's over there?"

Fuery groaned, "Its just Havoc. He hasn't been… the greatest since Lieutenant Catalina and him broke up."

"Poor fellow," Megumi murmured, looking up to him, "Though, we could offer them some help. It happened to us as well." She knew that Rebecca and Havoc ended over the argument about the challenge. Fuery had told her about it on their date tonight, including the clause about the losers having to kiss her sister. Megumi promised to keep that a secret, but she planned to invest some money into a camera and take a picture of the ordeal.

"I-I don't think you should risk it, Meg," Fuery muttered back.

"Hey! Hey! Fuuuuerrry!" Havoc shouted, "Get your ass over here!"

Fuery whispered into her ear, "Havoc isn't the best person to come across when he's drunk. Let's just get you back home, okay?" Megumi nodded slowly as he put his arm around her waist and they started walking away. Havoc kept on calling Fuery to come by him, but the whole time, he had his head down and pressed up against Megumi's soft brown hair. After their shadows left his view, Havoc groaned, "Goddammit, why does every woman hate me so much?"

Roy and Riza were coming towards the park when they heard Havoc. Black Hayate barked a couple of times in the direction of the sound and almost ran after it if it wasn't for his master to pull back on the leash and keep him a safe distance away from the sound. "Havoc," Riza whispered.

"He's drunk in public again," Roy sighed, knowing that if any one would find Havoc, they would file a report that would look bad on Roy's record. They decided to head over to him to help as much as they can. Though, with a drunk Havoc in their hands, it was unpredictable. It was because of Havoc that Riza was involved in the challenge and that they were all fearful of losing because of the clause.

When they came up to him, they noticed the smell of alcohol and cigarettes burnt on his clothes and skin. If Havoc had let his facial hair grow again and done this again, he would look like a poor bum sitting out on the streets of Central. He smiled when he saw Riza, "Hey Lieutenant Hawkeye," he slurred.

"Lieutenant Havoc," she said, looking at him with an ice-cold glare as Black Hayate started barking.

Havoc's eyebrow furled, "Shaddup Hayate!" He was about to kick the dog in the chest, but Hayate took a step away from the drunk Lieutenant and made his way to his master's side. Havoc looked at Roy and Riza. They weren't showing any signs of their relationship, but as Havoc was full out drunk, he could only think that they were. His vision was blurred and Roy was standing close enough to Riza where it looked like their hands met. His eyes widened a little bit, "You goddamn hypocrite!"

His words caught Riza as she stared at him. Any more insults and he would be dead. "Excuse me, Lieutenant Havoc?"

He gritted his teeth, "You. Goddamn. Hypocrite! You said that you wouldn't date anyone who was your superior or who you would be the superior of! That's what you told me a couple days ago." It was surprising to Roy and Riza that Havoc could remember that in his drunken state. "A-And look at that," he started to laugh hysterically, "how long has this been happening, Chief? How long have you stolen my Lieutenant from me?"

Roy could not believe what Havoc was saying. He knew that Havoc didn't have any feelings for Riza. The two of them acted like brother and sister! There was just no way! "Excuse me? Your Lieutenant? Havoc, I allowed you to take my ex-girlfriends for six months now, but this one," He put his hand on Riza's shoulder, "you can't take."

Riza rolled her eyes, "So I'm just one of your girls for the game? We're you…?" She started to think rationally. She didn't believe that Roy was using her for the challenge. In fact, they were both using each other for the challenge so that they could complete it. That was the initial plan that she agreed to. Breaking up with Roy with the same reason that Rebecca broke up with Havoc wasn't right or logical because of their own plan. She muttered, "You men are monsters."

"Aw, c'mon, Riza," Havoc was just wishing to be killed today, wasn't he? "Why don't you come here and see who's the real man?" She lost it. She went up to Havoc as if she was going to give him a kiss, but instead, she slapped him square in the face. "Ow… What the hell Lieutenant?"

She pouted, "This challenge has turned you two into monsters; I didn't even want to be in this damned challenge when it was done in the beginning of the year, but no. I didn't even have a choice to say yes or no. I was put in immediately. And does any one give a fuck?" Roy tried to reach out for her, but she turned away, "No. No. I don't care what happens at the end of the year anymore. What matters is that you," she pointed to Roy, "become Fuhrer for this country and you," she pointed at Havoc, "Get your game straight!" She stormed off with Black Hayate following behind her.

"Wait, Riza!" Roy shouted as he started to chase after her.

"Good luck with her, sir!" Havoc laughed as he got up from his bench and started to waddle to his house. Roy wanted to get her back; he really did have feelings for her and all, but explaining would be hard. He really wanted the relationship to last more than one month. Hell, he wanted it to last forever. Though now he was on the verge of losing her.

Riza knew that he was coming by and immediately said, "No. We're done. I won't help you win the challenge any more. I'm withdrawing." And then she started to walk away. Roy stood there, watching his Lieutenant leaving him. He looked down at the ground.

Roy Mustang failed.


A/N: I find funny how "Apologize" by OneRepublic started playing when Roy and Riza went up to Havoc and when Riza broke up with Roy, "The Day the Sun Disappeared" from the FMAB OST started playing.
