Hey, I really like this chapter :) It's so gentle and fluffy

The game had gone on for hours until it had finally come to a stand still, caused by Breda nearly rolling down a hill and into a bog, late in the night. There had been plenty of swearing as dark figures had crept through the trees only to grab you by the waist, only to realise it was actual Fuery who to be honest was far from scary in any aspect.

Now, the group of friends were sat around a small fire, made by Roy of course, on the shore of the lake. They had quickly run up to the cabin and grabbed extra clothes as the night had began to set in leaving them shivering from their lack of coverage.

Roy had to admit Riza looked quite cute in a large jumper, clutching a cup of hot chocolate to her chest. He paused for a moment and stared into the flames. He wondered how he should tell her, should it be one of those whirlwind romances where he sweeps her off her feet, kisses her with such passion that fireworks appear behind them and they're married the next day.

It was then Roy remembered Riza hated romances and despite the fact he knew, once in a while, she liked to be spoiled she had always been more of a simplistic woman. Her blonde hair was fluttering about her shoulders in the gentle breeze.

The firelight was catching her face in such a way that every time her eyes opened they would look like pools of fire just burning away they always had been. Roy had always thought she had possessed a certain beauty quality and although when they had first met he hadn't been physically attracted to her it was her enigmatic personality that made him intrigued but not she had grown up he had grown to love both sides of her.

She caught his eyes, sensing the depth of his thoughts and stood up. She set down her drink and sidled over, sitting down on the log next to him.

"Hey," She said quietly. Roy noticed she had moved her hand onto his leg and he smiled softly and rested his own large hand on top of hers. She entwined her fingers with his and lent her head on his broad shoulder. "Thank you for bringing me here," she whispered. Roy could see the firelight dancing in her eyes.

"Thank you for coming," He said. His voice was quiet and deep and it washed over her like the lake over the bank. If she listened hard enough she could hear a gentle whoosh as the water connected with land, they would always meet but never remain together for more than a few seconds before they would meet again.

Riza's mind had been very full lately and she couldn't help but wonder if Roy's had too, given his current state of staring half heatedly into the flames licking at the dark sky. She could hear a gentle murmur nearby as Rebecca and Jean spoke. Although she could not catch their words she could tell they were meaningful, partially because they were not yelling but also because she'd never seen Rebecca so relaxed in the time she had known her.

"I wanna see the stars Riza," Roy admitted, his black eyes shimmering as they bore into hers.

"Come on," She whispered and stood up. He hesitated then copied the action, his eyebrows quirking in enquiry. "I found somewhere in the woods earlier that I want to show you, I think you might like it,"

"Alright, lead the way," He said quietly and brushed her cheek.

Riza's footfalls were quiet compared to Roy's. The darkness of the forest was looming on her but she didn't care because she had Roy at her side. She could hear his gentle breathing a step behind her and almost feel the concentration he was exerting.

She stopped and looked around, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness before finally picking a route leading slightly uphill. The bracken had become thicker and Roy was almost considering burning it but he knew Riza would probably be mad. He followed her idly, not caring for where they were going or why, he just wanted to be at her side right now.

She disappeared for a moment and he thought she'd fallen until he saw her standing on a large jutting rock ahead. The forest had cleared and in its place a crag stood proudly, looming out across the lake. Riza was standing at its edge, her hair dancing about her face. She turned and smiled softly, the left side of her face was shaded with moonlight while the right was bright and welcoming.

He took a few steps forward, the cold air hit him once again but he didn't feel it. His steps were silent as he walked closer to her and stopped at her side. As he looked up he saw the sky. The moon was the closest he'd ever seen it and he was sure if he reached for long enough he could touch it. Stars were glistening above them, some duller than others but each a star that would begin its life then fade to nothing or become a consumer of all life.

The sky, for Roy, had always been a refuge to the pair of them and Roy remembered clearly the summer night spent back in the Hawkeye manor in which Riza would lead him up to the roof. There they would lie on the tiles and watch the stars until the morning arrived and took them away.

Riza seemed to be thinking the same thing as a smile crept onto her lips.

"Just like back then," She whispered and tilted her head up. It was the most beautiful thing Roy had ever seen. The sight of Riza Hawkeye standing there, her blonde hair dancing on the wind bathed in silver moonlight while her jumper blew about her body leaving her face to etch into a look of pure contentment.

Roy watched her until his eyes hurt and he swore if she'd have had her eyes open she would have caught him staring. He finally looked away and sat down. She watched him with interest then did the same then layed back, gazing upwards. He did not move for a few moments merely taking in the bright beautiful star and the ones in the sky of course. He moved his hand towards hers and laced their fingers.

"What would you say if I told you I liked, liked, liked you?" He asked, feeling like a child again.

"Then I'd tell you I like, like, like, liked you back," She chuckled and turned her head to look at him. Her smile was beautiful; it was not her usual firm smile but one that showed great happiness. Her eyes were shimmering brightly and Roy wasn't sure whether it was the fresh open air or the fact she was there in front of him but he felt happy like nothing could hurt him.
