A/N: Second to last one! Ha ha… wow. This pairing scares me. Thing is, I picked the pairing myself, instead of getting a request… lol. Anyway, yeah, I picked it because I've read Scar x Ed and Scar x Al, but no Scar x Roy! So… here it is. Scar x Roy plus some Roy x Riza thrown in too. Please review!

49. Scar x Roy – Let You Go

"Sir? You're going home?"

Roy nodded to Riza Hawkeye in reply, pulling his sleeves through his black overcoat. It was Monday, not a terribly busy day at the office. Nobody had tried to attack anybody, and nobody had died, so the day was calm by military standards.

Riza's fingers fidgeted, and she whispered, "Would you like me to escort you, sir? It's dangerous outside with the Alchemist Killer on the loose, and I'd feel better if someone… like me… went with you."

Roy smiled. "No, it's okay. I'll be fine. No one messes with the Flame Alchemist," he added boastfully, giving Riza a squeeze on the shoulder. "Good night, Lieutenant."

"Good night, sir."

Roy was smiling the entire way home. Even during the dark days of serial murder, the colonel found it in himself to grin happily at his lieutenant's obvious care for him. Hawkeye… you're truly a wonderful woman…

But his thoughts were interrupted as a dark hand shot out of nowhere and clamped itself over Roy's face. The colonel was then forced into an alleyway, his body shoved up against cold concrete. He grimaced and growled, trying to pry off the thick, muscular arm holding his head in place.

The hand lowered down around his throat, and Roy's eyes could see the tanned, Ishbalan skin of the alchemist killer, the one known as Scar. A sinking feeling like a rock dropped into an ocean distorted his stomach. "The Alchemist Killer," Roy spat, sparing Scar from an introduction.

Scar lifted his powerful, judging hand from Roy's neck and forcefully pressed his lips against the colonel. Speaking gutturally, the Ishbalan whispered, "I'm sparing you, Roy, because you're beautiful, and I can't bring myself to kill a person I love." He kissed Roy again, harder and biting on the colonel's lower lip this time. "But this doesn't mean that my alchemist killing days are over. You people are a sin in God's good world, and in His name, I must eradicate the alchemists. Except for you, Roy…" Roy's ebony hair was tousled, and his cheeks flushed. "I'm letting you go now. And I trust you to do the same for me."

Scar disappeared, and Roy blinked. His lip was still bleeding. He touched it, dazed, and walked home in silence.

Reviewer Responses!

Blackrose Kitsune: Yes, silly Brosh, trying too hard… And definitely good for Ross that she's intelligent! She's my favorite female character. :-P Thanks for the review!

Sika Kuriyama: No problem for reviewing late. I don't mind. Hippie!Havoc just makes me smile… Glad you liked the drabbles! Thanks for the review!

Kiyuu-chan: Sorry for the wait! But yep, I said I'd do one, and I did. n.n Glad you liked it! Yeah, I really haven't seen too many fireplace romance scenes… Usually all that's out there is sex on desks, in offices, and in trash bins. Okay, well, the one about the trash bin was one I wrote (but never posted thank God)… but you get my point. ;) Thanks for the review!

K. A. Maples: Me too, I like Brosh x Ross… but I like Ross x Ed more… :giggles: Guilty passion #1946532094639467985! n.n' Thanks for the review!

inu's gothic ravyn: The hippie drabble was an AU, so Havoc and Fuery aren't old. n.n; But that's cool, a hippie town… You'll have to tell me what that's like. Thanks for the review!

MetalWing Alchemist: I haven't read A LOT of obscure pairings (usually I'm the one writing them), but every now and then I stumble across some really intereting ones! And then there's the really scarring ones like Armstrong x Pinako… :twitch: Scar x Ed I can handle even though it's spooky, but… Armstrong x Pinako is just wrong. SICK AND WRONG! L, anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (must resist urge to tell you "congratulations" three times…) w00t, I am honored to be the first FF author to be read on your new computer. :gloats: Yay! Thanks for the review!
