AN: Here is part two for you guys! Keep sending me reivews and I'll write more, but I'm also out of ideas for this and I had only intended it to be a couple of chapters, but if I get a really good idea... well I may add just one more.

TWO

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!" Roy burst out of his quarters and about tripped over a dazed Riza who had come to and was sitting with her back against the door. She rotated slowly on the spot and then as fast as she could she got to her feet and threw herself at Roy. He stepped back to balance himself as he held her off the ground tightly.

"Oh, Roy… Roy… it was horrible… oh God you're alright… oh don't… oh Roy, my Roy…" Riza gasped, looking up at him with tear stained eyes filled with shock and relief as her hands ran over his face quickly as if checking to make sure he was real. Roy held her even closer as she muttered and rocked her gently, he didn't know what else to do. He had no clue why she was so terrified; she was too tough to be afraid of anything, except… no that couldn't be it.

"Lieutenant… Hawkeye… RIZA! Calm down! You're shaking like an earthquake, and you're covered in sweat not to mention… just come inside alright." Roy didn't continue based on the several half dressed officers standing in the hall. He pulled her inside and closing the door and locking it he let go of Riza. She still clung to him like if she let go he would disappear. He pried her gently off of him; it was starting to hurt, and guided her to sit on the bed. Roy sat next to her before he spoke.

"Talk to me Hawkeye. What's got you so frightened? Is it Scar? Is it Edward and Alphonze?" To each of his questions Riza shook her head in the negative. Then she brought a shaking hand to run through his hair.

"You're… all wet… were you out in the rain?" She sniffled.

"No I just got out of the shower, I think there's still soap in it but when I heard that scream, which I assume was you I got out as fast as I could. Wait! You're avoiding the subject. Damn it, tell me what is going on Lieutenant!" He demanded standing up and putting his hand's on his hips. Riza turned away and shook her head.

"It's nothing sir."

"You screaming at my door, and when I open it latching onto me like a child and sobbing, whimpering, and shaking isn't nothing! You aren't leaving until you tell me!" Roy grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him and then kneeled in front of her. Riza took a deep breath.

"I know that it shouldn't have, but I was so scared… I was afraid… and then heard…" Riza looked over her shoulder and away from him.

"Hawkeye! You're not making any sense! Snap out of it!" Roy's hands were on either side of her trembling face and forcing her to look at him. Riza closed her eyes and then spoke softly.

"No, it's nothing, nothing at all. I just got carried away." Roy resisted the strong urge to slap Riza, but he knew that if he raised his hand he could never get it that far, so he sighed.

"Why don't you start from the beginning? What did you do when you walked into your quarters?"

"I took off my uniform and shot the sash to nothing."

"Okay, then what did you do?"

"I laid down and fell asleep."

"Alright, so you fell asleep did you have a dream?"

"Yes."

"What did you see?" Roy was starting to lose his patience now. Riza had started to shake a little again.

"I was at a funeral, it was just like at Hughes, but, but it wasn't Hughes."

"Who was it?"

"There was a little boy. He called me 'mommy'. He protested and said that… show him something new." Riza's head was in her hands so Roy didn't hear who it was.

"Who was it? Riza you have think like an officer now!"

"Then I jumped into the burial pit and I heard you, pleading telling me to look away from something and not to stop you… I woke up. I know about Ishbal and then…"

"Slow down! Okay so are you saying that I was the one who was dead?"

"Uh huh." Riza's eyes were misting over. She looked around and then stood up suddenly and walked over to his table and picked the gun up off of it's polished surface. Roy stood and came to her.

"I see. This is what you were afraid of? That I might…"

"Did you?"

"No."

"You're lying sir! I know you are!"

"Fine! Yes I did, but I didn't! Look at me Riza! I'm standing right here! I couldn't do it! I couldn't ever do it! Maybe I'm too much of a damn coward or…" Roy grabbed the gun and flung it out of her hands to where it bounced off the wall and clattered to the floor.

"Or?" She questioned coming a step closer to him, so they were only inches apart.

"Or, maybe I couldn't stand to know that if I did it you would look like Grace did today."

"What do you mean by that?"

"She looked like her whole world fell apart, like there was nothing for her to hold onto except for Alicia and you don't have… I just didn't ever want to see it, but I just did." Roy couldn't stop the sobs that overcame him and he grabbed Riza and pulled her to him so tightly. So tightly it was like she would just blend into him.

"I love you Riza, I can't let you suffer like that, I wouldn't be able to stand it. Call me selfish, call me…"

"Roy, sir…" Riza gasped and wiggled away from him a little. She placed a hand on the side of his face.

"I love you Roy… I don't care what you are, I love you always." Roy leaned his forehead down to rest on Riza's.

"This can't change a thing, you know that. It would hurt too much."

"I know. It won't change… a single thing." Riza kissed him softly. Roy wasn't surprised and he didn't flinch. He welcomed it, he wanted this so badly. He needed her warm lips on his to comfort him, to show him that there was something left in the world to live for other then being Furhur. Riza was that something, Mustang confirmed as he deepened the kiss. Riza felt Mustang's hands slide under her slip and she reached back and stopped them from going any further. She pulled back, even though she didn't want to. She wanted more of this, but it didn't fit it wasn't right, not this soon.

"Riza…" Roy groaned.

"I'm sorry, I can't. I don't want this to be a mistake. We're both too vulnerable now."

"Hmm. You don't have to do a single thing, I'll…" Roy nuzzled her neck and she shrugged him off and walked over to sit on the edge of his bed with her arms crossed across her chest. Roy just stood there looking down at her unsure of what to do.

"I understand, we can't get carried away, so I'll get out of this towel, I think that will help a lot." Mustang backed into the bathroom and closed the door tightly. Hawkeye fell back on the bed with a groan.

Who was she kidding? There was no way in hell this could be a mistake! She was so stupid around him sometimes and definitely too careless. She scooted up and grabbed one of the pillows and hugged it tightly. It was so wonderful to know that Roy was all right and loved her. For the first time she had been truly scared even though dreams weren't real, it was so real to her and then when she had heard the thunder… Riza let out an involuntary shiver at the thought.

Mustang walked out to see Hawkeye curled up in the center of his bed clutching a pillow. He stood at the foot of the bed and waited for her to acknowledge him and finally after five minutes she did.

"You know you said it would rain today, and it still is. When I heard that thunder when I was at your door do you know what I thought it was?"

"A gun shot."

"Correct Colonel."

"Well I am a high ranking officer."

"I'm glad to see you're back to normal and the skirt chaser as always."

"You don't wear a skirt." Mustang tried to lighten the mood and to his surprise Hawkeye smiled a little and laughed.

"I don't. You remember that." She stopped laughing and sat silently, Mustang offered suddenly.

"Uh, I'll just sleep on the couch here if you want me to. I won't move I…" He stopped, when Riza grabbed his hand and pulled him down on the bed, next to her. She moved his hands to encircle her waist and she snuggled up next to him.

"Stay right here. The whole night, right here and don't leave me ever not for a second, we'll never be alone, never."

"Of course Lieutenant. It will just keep raining and we'll stay right here."

"Roy? What did Hughes say to you on the phone at East that made you so angry?"

"He said when I got to Central I'd need an ally someone I could trust and find myself a good wife. I didn't realize what he was suggesting until now."

"And what was he suggesting?"

"I need a) an ally, b) someone I trust, and c) a good wife. I think I just found her." Roy kissed the top of her head and then reaching over he turned off the bedside lamp and the two lay in the darkness listening to the rain.
