Egyptian Dragoness: The HughesXRoy wasn't intentional okay? I wrote it and forgot to delete it. (glare) Your words are so hurtful. All the couples I support are good! I had fun on Wednesday!

Disclaimer: If it were mine, I'd rename it "Flame Alchemist" and focus it on a RoyXHavoc relationship and as it is not mine, this is not down.

Normal POV

It had never been Riza's thing to comfort somebody . . . to be truthful, it wasn't her forte, but this was important, her colonel needed it.

"Colonel . . . are you in there? We need to talk . . ."

There was no reply. Riza noticed the door was unlocked and opened it, finding the apartment eerily quiet. The darkness scared her. It reminded her of her visit to the Elric's house, before they burnt it down. She could almost see and smell bloodstains on the walls of Roy's little apartment, just like the ones from the failed Homoculi.

"Colonel? Are you in here? Co-?"

Depressed snoring that almost sounded like whimpers came from the couch and Riza relaxed, she looked at the sleeping man and sighed, "I told him it was cold," She put her jacket on top of him and smiled gently.

Riza was about to leave but decided to stay, as the Colonel needed all the support he could get once he wakes. She sat down on an armchair which was near the couch, hearing the colonel mumble in his sleep.

"Wait! Maes! Please don't leave! At least tell me who killed you!" Roy yelled at his friend who seemed so far away.

"Roy, I have to . . . and I can't tell you, it's something you people have to find out for yourselves." Hughes said as he slowly turned to face his friend for many years.

"You're a liar Hughes! You said you'd support me from below, but you got a double promotion! Plus, you promised you'd be there for me when I confessed to her!" Roy said forcefully, tears blurring his vision. When he was replied with silence, Roy continued, "And your family! Gracia is now widowed and despairing! And Elizia! You'll never see her grow up! She misses you!!! How are you gonna protect her from all the boys that swarm around her now?"

Hughes gave a little smile before he turned his back towards Roy, "My family knows I love them, I also made sure that everyone else knew as well," The man with the glasses smirked , "I know you'll make it to Fuhrer one day Roy, you have the potential. As for the confession? You can do that yourself."

Hughes began walking away when Roy shouted after him, "HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT MAES? WALK UP TO HER AND GO 'RIZA, I LOVE YOU!'? SHE'LL SHOOT ME IF ANYTHING!"

Hawkeye stared, amazed at what the colonel had mumbled out loud, "Riza, I love you."

Roy woke up, blinking around, "Huh? 1st Lieutenant? What are you doing here?"

Riza hugged the one she wanted to protect so badly, "I was scared of what you'd do to yourself, Colonel, so I came to check up on you."

Roy gave into the woman's embrace, "I'm not weak, Lieutenant Hawkeye."

Riza closed her eyes, "I know but I was so worried. Hughes was your closest friend . . . I wanted to be there as your support, I love you Colonel."

Roy's eyes widened at the possibility that he might have spoken in his sleep. It might've been humiliating, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was that Riza had just confessed her love for him.

"Then stay with me here and drop the formalities, call me Roy."

Riza stared at Roy, "Only if it's during time off."

Roy chuckled, "Okay, that's fine, I'm good with that."

Again, Roy went on with "patriotic" talks.

Riza loaded her gun patiently, waiting for him to say the wrong thing.

". . . All the women in the military shall wear miniskirts!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"U . . . Uh, please 1st Lieutenant, this is the workplace, please don't kill the Colonel in here . . ." An obviously nervous Fury asked the woman politely.

"I'm sorry Sergeant. Oh, and can you please look after Black Hayate tonight? I've got plans." Riza smiled at the short man.

"Ah, sure thing!" Fury smiled happily.

"No naming sense." Havoc whispered to Falman.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Fury approached the traumatised 2nd Lieutenant, "Looks like the 1st Lieutenant and the Colonel aren't together yet."

Havoc shook his head, "How unobservant Fury, have you not noticed the changes?"

Fury looked confused, "What changes?"

Havoc shrugged, "It's not something I can explain easily but I can assure you, the reason you're looking after my dog stir-fry tonight is because of Hawkeye and Mustang's date."

"Really? Hey . . . wait! Dog stir-fry?" Fury ran away from Havoc wailing something out, carrying the Black Hayate away.

Havoc just stared after Fury with a humungous sweatdrop on his head, cigarette falling from his mouth, "I was just kidding!"

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed it. I typed until midnight writing this so some of it doesn't make sense. Anyway, please R/R and I'll see you all next time! Oh, and please no Flames! (trying to shove Havoc and Mustang into a closet)
