Colonel Roy Mustang sat next to his subordinate, Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. She had been by his side for as long as he can remember, and since Maes died, she is the only one left that he could really trust. He knew that the military was corrupt, but he didn't know that the Fuhrer of all people was one of the ones behind it. While everyone was in Lior fighting the battle, Roy and Riza snuck away and got on a train back to Central. What was going to happen when they reached Central was a complete mystery.

"What is going to happen when we get there, Sir?" Riza asked her superior.

"I have no idea, but I do know that I'm going to stop the Fuhrer." He answered. "Even if I, myself have to die in the process."

"You shouldn't speak of dying just yet, Sir." She told him. "We're both going to make it out of there alive."

Now it was Mustang's turn to ask a question. "What makes you so sure about that?"

"Because I have faith in you, and so does Havoc, Fury, Breda, and Falman." She said. Then paused for a moment. "Brigadier General Hughes also believes in you. He may no longer be apart of this world with us, but he is still watching from wherever he is."

Roy looked at her. Then said, "I'm a failure at whatever I do. Why would anyone have faith in me? It may look like I've accomplished a lot, but it was because Maes was there to help me get there. Now that he is gone, you're the one that's been helping me out. How can anyone have faith in a man that can't even stand on his own two feet?"

"Forgive me for doing this, Sir." Riza said. Then she slapped Roy straight across the face. "How could you think so lowly of yourself? Do you know why so many people in the military don't like you?"

"Because they all think that I only care about getting promoted." He answered.

"Wrong!" She told him, causing Roy to look at her weird. "It's because they are all afraid of you. They know that if you make it to the top, you'll change the State for the better. Everyone is used to the way things are now that the wrong doings and corruption doesn't even bother them. These are the men that can't stand on their own two feet because they could do whatever they wanted."

"Wow. I never thought of it that way." He said. "But do you think that the women would mind a change in the uniform to SHORT MINI SKIRTS!" Then he did one of his dramatic poses.

"Sir, I have two loaded guns, and I planned on using them against the enemy. Don't make me want to change my mind." Riza said with an eye twitch.

After that, the two really didn't say anything to each other for a little while. Roy was thinking of a plan for when the get to Central, and Riza was thinking that Roy better not is thinking about mini skirts. After thinking of a plan, Roy was now thinking that he might die without having a girlfriend. Then he looked over at the Lieutenant.

"What's wrong, Sir?" She asked when she saw him staring at her.

"It's nothing really. Just thinking about how beautiful you are." Roy said with one of his smirks he was famous for.

"Sir! That is totally inappropriate to think of, let alone say." She almost yelled.

"Does it really matter? Like you said, people do whatever they want anyway." He argued back.

"But Sir, you're supposed to change the military, not go along with the corruption." Riza shot back.

"Oh come on Lieutenant, you know that you feel the same way about me." He told her.

Riza turned away to look out the window. She never gave him a response. This made Roy believe that what he said was correct. Riza knew that if she looked over at him, he would see the blush that came across her face. She couldn't believe it. No man in her entire life could make her blush the way he did just now. Sure, Hawkeye was one tough person when it came to serving the military, but she was just an ordinary woman on the inside.

"Look." Roy said breaking the silence. "I'm sorry if I said something offensive. Just forget I even said anything. Let's just worry about what lies ahead."

"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have flipped out on you like that." She told him.

"Does that mean you're returning the feelings that I have for you?" He asked.

"What am I supposed to say?" She whispered.

"Just say yes." Roy said as he slowly leaned in to kiss her.

Riza didn't know what to do, or think. She never really felt this way about anyone. She always had feelings for the Colonel, but it wasn't allowed because she was his subordinate. Not to mention she ever thought that he would feel the same about her. He always joked around, but she would always brush it off because he was just that type of guy. Plus he said that about all women. But before she could complete her thoughts, she felt his lips against hers. It didn't last long because Riza practically shoved Roy off her.

"I'm sorry Sir, but I just can't." She quickly said. "But I really wanted to."

"Why doesn't she want me?" Roy thought to himself. "Look Riza, you don't have to keep calling me Sir. AS far as I'm concerned this is not a military mission, so that means we're really not on duty."

"Oh…" Riza said quietly. Then a thought came to her mind. "If we're not on duty, and no one knows or finds out. Then I guess it's ok." "Sir…I mean Roy, you can kiss me again if you want."

"Promise you won't try and shove me again?" He asked with a smile. Then he leaned over and kissed her. But this time she didn't push away, or pull off.

They kissed for like five minutes. It was like a hidden love just discovered. Neither said anything for a little while afterwards.

"What do you thinks going to happen when we get there?" Riza asked.

"I don't know," He answered. "We'll just have to wait and find out.

They rode the rest of the train ride in silence. Just enjoying what little time they had together. Hoping that they would both make it out of there alive. When they got off the train, they headed for the Fuhrer's house. Roy told Riza to make a scene so that he could sneak in the house. She did as she was told, but ended up being taken away by the guards.

Roy, on the other hand, was inside fighting the Fuhrer. It wasn't going to well because he was getting pretty beat up. Then he thought about what happened on the train. He remembered what Hawkeye said about all those people believing in him. He was in pretty bad shape, but he ended up killing pride, AKA the Fuhrer by sealing his soul into a skull. When he came out he fell to the ground from loss of blood.

Hawkeye had escaped from the guards, so she went back to the house only to see Roy lying on the ground outside. She ran over to him thinking that he was dead. She began to cry for one of the only times in her life. Hearing her cry caused Roy to look up.

"What are you crying for Lieutenant?" He asked weakly.

She looked down at him feeling happy. "I thought that you were dead."

"But aren't you the one that said to have faith? That you and all those people believed in me?" He asked.

"I'm sorry Roy. I can't believe that I thought you were dead." She apologized.

He smiled then said, "I'll forgive you if you give me a kiss."

"How typical." She said. Then she leaned down and kissed him.

Later, Roy was taken to the hospital. The doctors told Riza that he was going to make a full recovery, but it was going to take time. She didn't mind as long as he was alive.
