Riza awoke the next morning to discover she was quite alone. It took her a few moments to figure out where exactly she was… the room was unfamiliar, yet she felt at home. Her confusion subsided as she realized just where she was, and she smiled as she remembered why she was there. She snuggled into the blankets and sighed contentedly.

She wondered absentmindedly what had become of the Colonel, when a bouquet of roses caught her attention. She smiled as she saw her name written on the card within the flowers, and she read it quietly to herself.

Dear Riza,

Last night was… wonderful. I can't express how lucky I am to have such a strong, beautiful woman like you by my side. There are no words, really… um... anyway, I'm going over to your house to pick up Black Hayate (bet he's hungry, poor little guy…) but I'll probably be back by the time you read this. Breakfast will be served downstairs, and feel free to take a shower first, if you want to. Ah, I'll pick up some clean clothes for you from your house… I guess I'll leave them on the doorknob… Anyway, good morning, beautiful, I love you.

Yours, always,

Colonel Roy Mustang, Flame Alchemist

Riza had tears in her eyes by the time she finished reading the letter.

"Oh… Colonel…" She smiled, and tucked the note into her purse for safe keeping.

She looked up, and sure enough, hanging on the door, was a set of clean clothes for her to wear. She frowned slightly when she discovered he had found her one and only miniskirt… but she knew it would make him happy to see her wear it, so she decided to let it slide.

She got dressed and looked in the mirror. This was somewhat unusual for the Lieutenant, as her appearance was not something that she usually worried about before heading to work, but it wasn't every day that you woke up in Colonel Mustang's house… She smiled again. 'So you'd better try and look your best, missy!' she told herself, happily.

Rain was pounding on the roof as she made her way downstairs, and a delicious smell wafted to her nostrils as she drew nearer and nearer to the kitchen. Roy was standing by the stove, a tall chef's hat perched upon his silky hair, which was still dripping with rain from his previous excursion to Riza's house.

Black Hayate barked happily as he saw his mommy enter the kitchen, and Roy smiled warmly at his lovely Lieutenant… a smile which quickly became a smirk as he noticed that she had decided to don her miniskirt after all.

"Roy… that smells delicious!" Riza remarked, as she walked over to the striking man before her.

"I'm making waffles!" He cried, with exuberance that was not generally appropriate when directed towards breakfast foods, but he was in as good a mood as he had ever been, and his delight was hard for him to contain.

"And you're soaked… you should have used an umbrella…" she commented, feeling wholly responsible for this morning's dampening. She deftly removed his chef's hat, and began to rub his hair with a towel that had been conveniently draped on the oven handle.

She finished drying him off, fluffed his hair one final time and drew her forehead to his.

"You need to be more careful… we can't have our future Fuhrer catching a cold now, can we?" She smiled, and gazed into his eyes. "Maybe I should warm you up…"

She began kissing him, passionately, fervently, like her world would end if they ever broke apart, and Roy returned the sentiment gladly. She had backed him up to the kitchen table and was laying herself on top of him when Black Hayate let out a small yip.

It occurred to the two military personnel that being watched awkwardly by a dog was certainly a mood breaker, and that if he wasn't careful, Roy might burn their breakfast.

"And it's not like I usually burn my food either," he added, for good measure, "Flame Alchemist or not…" He was smiling, disappointed by his missed chance to be physically intimate with Riza, but pleased all the same that she was there with him at all.

He finished preparing breakfast, a lovely dish of Belgian waffles and berries for Riza and a bowl of leftover chicken for Black Hayate, and the two humans sat and gazed at each other as they ate their meal.

"You're quite a cook, Roy…" Riza remarked shyly as she savored her well made breakfast.

Roy smiled and looked at her. He placed his hand on hers and drew himself closer to her…

It was at that very moment that the phone began to ring. Roy decided to ignore it, but the subordinate in Riza prompted her to answer the phone to make sure that nothing was terribly amiss.

"Hello?"

Roy sulked in his chair. That was two times he and Hawkeye had been interrupted. What else could go wrong?

"…Lieutenant Hawkeye?" Kain Fuery's voice came through the receiver. "…What are you doing at the Colonel's house so early in the morning?"

"…Just checking up on him, Kain… what's going on at the office?"

"It's an emergency, Lieutenant! You and the Colonel had better get down here quick!"

"Fuery, did you say Hawkeye was at the Colonel's house?" Riza could hear Havoc's voice from within the office.

"Yeah, I couldn't believe it!" Riza sweatdropped, this wasn't going to end well…

"Haha, I knew those two would get together eventually." Said Breda, delighted at the prospect of the two being an item.

"Dammit. I was gonna ask her out, eventually! Stupid Colonel…"

"Toooo late, Havoc!" Fuery was certainly enjoying being the purveyor of news this morning.

"Kain," said Riza angrily, "I'm still on the phone. I can hear everything that you're saying. And if any of you make any trouble for us about this, I'll personally see to your deaths."

Fuery hastily apologized and hung up the phone.

Riza sighed. "Come on, sir, we'd better get to the office… Fuery says it's an emergency."

"Why'd you have to threaten them?" Roy asked, sipping his coffee.

"They… well… noticed that I was at your house…"

"Well, I'm sure they won't say anything about it. In fact, I'm sure this is the last we'll hear of it!"

Meanwhile, back in Central Headquarters:

"Hey, Falman! Is this "MUSTANG AND HAWKEYE! HAPPY FUCKING!" sign up straight?"
