"Ah, so you did propose to the lieutenant. I wonder what made you so brave." Yeah, I wonder.

"So?" Why does Hughes sound so mischievous? Was he there? If he was …

"Three times. Head and heart. Sounds like a no to me. Do you really wanna marry her?" I bet he does, God knows how long the lieutenant started liking him. Though, it seems that he liked her starting from……that night! But that was like, 3 years ago. Ack!

3 years ago. Roy had just been promoted as a colonel. Hughes had secretly organized a get-together to celebrate his promotion. Edward had become a national alchemist then.

"Congrats, Roy. Guess we don't have to wait long for you being a Fuhrer."

"Fuhrer? I hope so. Though, it seems that the current Fuhrer won't be stepping down any sooner.

"Congratulations, Colonel Mustang." Riza stated while saluting to the now-colonel-Roy."

"Lieutenant Hawkeye, why thank you. Hughes, just how many people did you invite?"

Roy was counting the NUMEROUS numbers of people that was heading his way to congratulate him. The stream of people seemed ENDLESS.

"Oh, not much. Just maybe 20 to 50 people."

"20 to50 people? You must be joking…right?"

"Yep, actually I invited half the military people."

Upon hearing Hughes' statement, Roy almost fainted right there.

"Colonel, are you ok?" Riza was getting quite worried as Roy looked so pale.

"I'm fine. Thank you."

Then, Roy and Hughes and many other people noticed that Riza's hair was let down.

She wore an all white long sleeved dress. She looked like an angel.

"Colonel, daijoubu ka?" "Ah, daijoubu da." An angel……

"Sorry, but I have to leave because I still have work to do."

"Ah, leaving so soon, Lieutenant?" Too soon.

"Yes, I'm so sorry Colonel, Hughes. Bye."

Hughes couldn't help but notice Roy's eyes glued to the Lieutenant's slowly fading back……

Flashback end.

"Hughes, our drinks are here." Right, he was day dreaming…?

"Oh yeah, well I'll wish you all the luck in marrying the lieutenant."

"Why, are you in a rush or something?"

"Yeah, Today's Elysia's birthday."

"Tell her Uncle Roy said happy birthday."

"Sure thing."

And with that, Hughes sped home leaving Roy with a bottle of brandy and two unpaid drinks. Hughes, you are so gonna pay, somehow.

That night, Roy tossed and turned. Still, he couldn't get into sleep. He just wished that Hughes hadn't and wouldn't do anything foolish.
