Dedication

"So Fullmetal's back," Roy remarked, shedding his overcoat.

"Yeah..." Havoc didn't feel like doing anything except leaning his forehead against the window.

"Jean?" He felt Roy's hand on the back of his neck. "Oh. It's Briar, isn't it."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't still be moping about that –"

"Yes you should," Roy said firmly. "Seeing a little girl die from disease is a lot harder than seeing a fully grown man die for something he believes in." Havoc felt him press a kiss against the back of his neck. "It's admirable that you feel so responsible for her."

"She called me 'Daddy'," he said softly.

Roy's mouth stretched into a gentle smile. "And you're the ideal man for being someone's father," he agreed. "It's your loyalty and dedication, Jean..."

Thank you time!

Torii: I think you're my biggest reader! Thanks for sticking by from day one! (and no, you can't have Jean, Roy has express ownership of the man. (wah))

blackAURA;sama: You can't be corrupted into Roy/Havoc. It's just a natural occurrence. XD

Guu-sama: April Fool's wasn't supposed to be scary, it was supposed to be funny! I guess that Roy would be that kind of man, though...

DarkWarLordofDoomness: Kya! I hope I did better this time, Sensei!

sketchyheart: Thanks for your compliments. And the April Fools wasn't supposed to be like that! It was a gag! (Oh, by the way, I love Champagne Kisses!)

The Raven's Wings: See? See? I updated! Hope you like the last few!
