Uhm, yeah, just another random idea. Nothing really spectacular, and if anyone's used this idea already, I'm sorry, but I had to do it. Blame the drabble bunnies.

When she was a child, Riza's grandfather had taken her outside on a warm summer night. He brought out a lit candle, and showed her the moths that came flocking to the small flame, flying so close that the fire consumed them.
She remembered asking why the moths got so close to the fire that they killed themselves. Her grandfather only smiled and told her that the creatures were attracted to the flames, and in their desire to come close to it, they ignored the heat and were burned to ashes.
At the time, she didn't understand just why those little moths loved the light so much that they would die to be near it.
Until she met Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, and fell in love.
Then she realized just how tempting fire was, and that it was worth getting burned to be close to it.
I hope that wasn't too strange…I just liked the idea and had to do something with it. Thanks to all my reviewers. I wasn't expecting to do so many chapters in this collection so quickly, and I probably wouldn't if it wasn't for you all. And to az4ever…I put Riza's grandfather in it XD
