Envy: Yoz, Phayne! Save us, will you?

Phayne (in deep thought): Hmm…

Ed: Pretty – Pulezze…

Phayne: I will save you, if I own FMA…

Ed & Envy: Nooo… (Faints…)

To don'tbreakme: This fic is all about angst… So, if you're looking for happy endings… erm… not very applicable in this story…

To Cashmeritan: You make me happy too, with your reviews… (Smiles…)

To Shadow Dreamer 27: Yes, yes, I'm updating now… Enjoy this chapter…

To unexpection: O.o you walloped Roy! Hahah… No worries… I don't like him much anyway… (Because he always bullies Ed!) Stupid Roy! Take this! Arbish! Oh… Write longer chapters… hehehe… I got your hints… This chapter I hope it's long enough…

Phayne: Hi all, this chapter was supposed to take longer than expected, but I was free and in the mood to write, and well, here's your treat…This is dedicated to all those who were reading this fic and enjoying to see how ochibi got eaten up since Be My Shelter… (Laughing maniacally at this) Exclusively written for unexpection and don'tbreakme, thank for reviewing both stories. Shunkan belongs to Nana Kitade! And the lyrics are taken from FMA official website forum.

This chapter is in Roy's point of view.

totsuzen na atashi no ketsudan mo

(Translation: All at once I also came to a realization)

Roy Mustang's gaze lingered on the fading figure in the distance. "Riza…" he whispered softly to himself. He saw what she did in the snow. Tracing after his footprints. But that was not what he wanted for her. He wanted her to love herself, to work towards her ambitions, to live her own life. And all this will have nothing to do with the name, Roy Mustang. That was all he wanted.


anata wa honne sae kuchi ni sezu kantan ni se wo oshita
(translation: Without even revealing your true intentions, you pushed my back so easily)

Roy took the used cups to the sink and began washing it, his mind swirling in memories of the happier times in East Headquarters.

X Memories X

Riza standing at attention: "Sir, there have been reports that Edward Elric was spotted in the City of Lior… causing some major uproar with the priest.

Roy (at his desk): "That little troublemaker… Wish I can just fry him…" he then started to grin evilly.

Riza rolled her eyes and sighed, "Sir, I suggest that you keep these thoughts to yourself… Edward will protest against this…" She glanced at the Colonel, and discovered he was more engrossed in eating the chocolates she had made for him during Valentine's Day.

"Um… Delicious…" Roy smirked at his subordinate playfully while licking his finger. Riza grew red in the face and bolted out of his office. Roy then scribbled something on his notebook.

Notebook entry 156: Successful in teasing Riza today.

Roy kept his notepad in his drawer carefully and smiled to himself, his eyes focusing on his charismatic lieutenant outside the office.

X End of Recall X

mou modoru koto wa nai desho...
(Translation: There's nothing left that will return anymore...)

Roy stared at the small, tattered notebook on the table. Then he reached into the drawer under the mantelpiece and pulled out his white flame gloves. Though the gloves were yellowing with age, the maroon alchemy circle stamped brightly still stand out smartly.

Roy pulled on one of them and snapped his fingers. Flames engulfed the little notebook hungrily. His black eyes watched wearily as the book slowly turned into a pile of ashes.

ima sayonara wo kuchi ni shita shunkan kanjite shimatta

(Translation: In that moment now when I said 'Goodbye,' I finally felt it…)

Roy put his hand to his heart, where all the hidden pain was. "Forgive me, Riza."


genjitsu no daishou ni anata wo ai shita yue no itami mo

(Translation: The pain of the weight of reality from when I loved you…)

X Flashbacks from White Day X

Roy: "I'm aiming for much higher... Will you come and be my shelter?"

Riza: "Erm... I will follow you by your side..."

Roy: "But if there's a day that you will have to leave me for the higher-ups, I will let you go."

Riza: …

Roy: "I promise,"

X End of flashbacks X


kakaeru to yakusoku suru kara soko de mite ite ne
(translation: I'll carry out my promise, so just watch me from there)

Roy laid on his bed, eyes on the lightbulb that hung pathetically from the ceiling. "I promise…" He raised his hand into the air…

wasurenai...wasurenai...wasurenai
I won't forget...I won't forget...I won't forget...

And grasped the empty air by clenching his fist, "I won't forget you…"

The End – To be continued in a new story

Ed: Gluttony is drowning me in the gallons of milk he's drinking!

Envy: Too bad, ochibi! (Swims around in the milk…)

Phayne: Ok ok, I will try to save you next time…

Ed faints in the pool of milk

Phayne: Yes guys, it is the end of this story, Days of Moments. Don't worry, I will write the continuation soon, that is if the response is good of course… If not, I will just stop at this end… Ja, minna-san!
