Author's note: This is my first Roy/Riza story, it is a one shot, and I think they make the cutest couple!
In a small town, an 18-year old boy, with black hair was lying peacefully under a tree. Even in this peaceful state of mind, the boy had a good sense of awareness.
"Hey, Riza," the raven-haired boy greeted, not even bothering to open his eyes.
"…You could at least look at me, Roy," the girl with her blonde hair in a bun said.
"Sorry," Roy said, and motioned for the 18-year old girl to sit next to him.
"Are you still planning on going to the military?" Riza asked.
"Yea, I'm going to be a State Alchemist, and I'm gonna make my way to the top. Then, one day… I'll be the Fuhrer!" Roy exclaimed.
"I've decided that I'm going with you. You need someone to watch over you," Riza said.
"Fuhrer Mustang, I like the sound of…wait, WHAT?" Roy yelled, jumping up!
"You can't join the military!"
"My suggestion for you would be to change your mind," Riza calmly said.
"Why the hell should I?" Roy snapped.
"Because I can shoot you, if you don't," Riza stated pulling out a gun from the holster hooked to her pants.
"Uh…Why do you have a gun with you?" Roy asked, backing up from Riza.
"Because I knew how you would react," Riza explained, her gun still pointed at the 18-year old Roy Mustang.
"You wouldn't survive in the military, Riza…" Roy tried to explain.
"Try me, I'm an expert with a gun!" Riza objected, "So, it's settled, I'm joining with you."
3 Years later
"Colonel, are you finished with your paperwork?" a blonde-haired woman, dressed in a military uniform asked.
"Hello, first lieutenant," the colonel, Roy Mustang greeted a guilty smile on his face.
"…No, you haven't," the first lieutenant rolled her eyes.
Hey, Roy, there's the guy we've been looking for close to headquarters, come on!" a guy, wearing glasses and holding a picture of a little girl barged in.
"Okay, we're coming, Hughes!" Roy said, getting up from his seat.
"Let's go, Riza," Roy said, once Maes Hughes was out of earshot.
"I know, Roy, I'm right behind you," the first lieutenant, Riza Hawkeye smiled, following the colonel out of the room.
…
"WHO DO YOU FOOLS THINK YOU ARE?" IF YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!" a big guy, with a long, braid yelled.
"I'm the Flame Alchemist, and I'm gonna…" Roy started.
"Watch out, colonel, you're useless in the rain, and he has a gun," Riza said moving to stand in front of Roy.
"HEY…" Roy started to object.
"She has a point, colonel," the blonde guy, with a cigarette in his mouth said.
"Havoc, be quiet!" Roy snapped.
"FOOLS! YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A WOMAN TRY TO…" the old hijacker laughed, when a gunshot was heard, and the hijacker's eyes went wide.
"…" Everyone looked at the gun-wielding woman, with fear in their eyes.
"I told you, you needed someone to protect you in the military, colonel, and I'm perfect for the job!" Riza said, and walked past Roy Mustang, a small smile crossing her features.
