Disclaimer: Don'cha get it by now?

a/n: this chapter contains a bit of RoyRiza, which qualifies it to be a RoyAi. Ehh... i knew that this day would come!

I always thought that Roy's eyes may have been full of life before Ishbal, but after the war he became secluded, snapping his fingers at the smallest noise. His eyes became sunken and lifless, like someone pulled the plug out of his life. But then, he found that life was worth living when he discovered his friends and loved ones were still there. The light flowed back into his eyes and slowly, when the real Roy Mustang shines through, you can see it in his eyes. If only just a little. I realized that on the day I met him, and the day that I fell in love with him. Both the same day, right there on the front lines of Ishbal.
