Hey gang! Sorry it's been a while, I didn't really know how I wanted this chapter to start, but then I thought, hey! Edward! So yeah, here's chapter 7, hope you enjoy it.

Ps. When in the last chappie when Mustang says "I'm making waffles!" I imagined it in his "I LOVE DOGS" speech voice. Haha yay!

Edward Elric walked miserably down the marble hallway as he made his way towards the Colonel's office. He knew what was waiting for him, mockeries and ridicule at his expense, and at least one prod at his somewhat lowly stature. He wasn't expecting a fulfilling meeting, and he certainly wasn't expecting the sight he was greeted with.

A great banner spread across the office, and the four officers who Mustang employed were busying themselves throughout the room. Breda and Falman were showering the room with confetti, flower petals, and pictures of Mustang and Hawkeye, Havoc was calling all of the girls Roy had stolen from him and proudly informing them that their beloved Mustang was no longer available, and Fuery was icing RxR cupcakes.

"Wh…what the hell is going on?" Edward asked, as he had taken in the scene.

"Fuery called the Colonel's house and Lieutenant Hawkeye picked up," Havoc replied. "We put two and two together…" "

"And decided to have some fun!" Breda finished happily.

"Aren't you worried that they'll… I dunno, KILL YOU?"

The four men stopped moving. They had never even stopped to consider this possibility. The manic, driven alchemist with control over his own personal raging inferno, and a crazed expert marksman who had a terrible inclination towards firing endlessly at the innocent… this wasn't going to end well. The men were contemplating removing the decorations as the doorknob slowly began to turn…

The walk to work had been quite pleasant for Roy and Riza. Though it was raining, they had taken the scenic route through the park. Roy had brought his great black umbrella, and they snuggled up against one another as they shared it. Their fingers were entwined around the umbrella's handle for the duration of the stroll, and Riza looked into the face of her commander and blushed at the simple beauty within his face. He was hers. She could not believe that such a thing could ever occur, and she felt as though she were the luckiest woman in the world.

They broke apart as they approached central Head Quarters, not wanting to be discovered. Something seemed amiss as they made their way to the office. A number of officers winked at Roy, or nudged him with their elbows. Others were looking at Riza like a piece of meat, some even going as far as to whistle at her as she walked past them. Roy was used to this kind of attention, but Riza was mortified. She was beet red and somewhat confused as to why so many people in the office were acting like they knew about last nights escapades. Roy seemed indifferent to the unwavering gazes of the men at the office as they gawked at his Lieutenant, keeping his eyes forward as he silently approached his destination.

Roy turned the doorknob to see a tiny alchemist and four terrified subordinates. His eyes took in the banner, and he angrily got his hands into snapping position. Edward, sensing dangers, quickly sprang into action.

"Damn Colonel! You and the Lieutenant!" Edward smiled and walked over to Mustang, he placed a hand on his shoulder. "Nice going! You look great together!"

Roy was taken aback, and Breda used this opportunity as his cue. "Yeah, seriously! Hawkeye's a classy lady! Good job!"

Riza's eyes went around the room. Roy was surrounded by his underlings, and no one had even noticed that she was even in the room. She saw the smirks, she say the decorations… and finally she saw the banner…

MUSTANG AND HAWKEYE! HAPPY FUCKING!

Her face turned red and she stared at the ground. She was taking all of this in… she felt dirty and cheap. The men in the office couldn't possibly respect her now… how could they?

She heard Havoc's voice above her own shame.

"So Colonel, how is Hawkeye… where it counts?"

Riza's eyes widened and she could hear the laughter. She clenched her fists and tears sprang to her eyes as she spoke.

"Stop it, Havoc." Her voice was trembling, but it was so cold, and so angry that the entire room fell silent.

"Stop it, and shut the hell up, all of you." Tears were running down her face. She looked up at Roy.

"...I can't do this." She said, simply.

She turned and bolted out of the room, leaving the six bewildered men alone.

It only took a moment for Roy to collect himself.

"Just what the hell did you idiots do?" He bellowed, as the five other people in the room shrank into a corner. "Didn't you realize how much trouble we could get into?"

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't think—"

"Damn right you didn't think! You want the two of us to get separated? You want me to get a demotion? It's not just MY paychecks that'll get docked, you stupid morons!" He was shaking with anger, this was absolutely the worst thing that his subordinates could have done.

"Clean all of this stupid garbage up NOW!" he ordered, trying to get his thoughts together. "I have to find Riza."

He marched out the door, and his subordinates breathed a huge sigh of relief. Suddenly the door burst open again.

Roy's head poked around the door.

"Oh that's right, Fullmetal, you and I have a meeting later, don't we?" Ed nodded.

"Well, help clean this mess up; I'll come talk to you in a bit. Oh and one more thing…" he took out his gloves and pointed his fingers straight at Havoc.

The second Lieutenant yelped and shut his eyes as he heard the terrifying snap of the Colonel's fingers, but was pleased to find himself quite un-singed. He looked above him and saw the great banner burning violently.

"If anything like this EVER happens again, I'll burn all of you along with your stupid ideas." Roy turned, and briskly ran into the hallway.

He went out into the streets, and was frustrated to find that it was still raining. But he couldn't worry about that for now, finding Riza was his top priority...

Riza had run out of the office. Ignoring the stares and calls from the other officers, she began her unsavory walk home, through the rain, without a coat or an umbrella. She braced herself against the cold, and dreaded the inevitable moment when she would have to face Roy again…

Her tears were disguised by the rain as both poured freely down her face. She trudged forwards, she felt that her world of happiness coming to a close, and she couldn't bear it.

Roy was running down the streets of central. He had to think quickly: which way would Riza have gone? He assumed that she would head for her own house, and he hurried straight towards it.

Riza was could feel herself weakening. She was cold and covered in rain, and she knew that this might be the last day that she and Mustang could ever be together as a couple… Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't notice the set of blaring headlights that were speeding dangerously towards her…

Oh no! a cliffie! I suck! Hahaha um……… well, yeah, review away people. I didn't realize I hadn't been allowing anonymous viewers to review my story, but I've enabled that now. Um, I also realized that when I advertised my other story last time, the link didn't show up? (that's for you! Sillyface)

Anyway, it's pretty good, if you wanna read it, click on my user name (gretchen8642) and it should be in my authored stories as "everything"

p.s.! I'm thinking of doing a yaoi fic? But I don't know which charming couple to do it about. So I'm taking a poll.

Roy/Maes

Roy/Ed

Roy/Jean

Haha hot.

One day I shall do a non Roy Mustang fic. But not today. Not today.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.

KISSES

Emma.
