I couldn't believe I was doing this. Me, Riza Hawkeye the perfect little soldier, was fraternizing with my commanding officer! Oh the embarrassment if anybody ever found out. I looked up at the clock, lunch time was approaching fast. "What are you thinking you enjoyed last night didn't you?", a voice in my head said. "Yes. Well I mean—", "cut the crap little lady your falling in love with the man. Deal with it", I was about to answer when I realized that I had said that out loud. "You say something Lt.?", Mustang asked me. "No", I said shaking my head. He stared at me questioningly and then went back to his work. "Don't stare Riza. Don't stare", I kept telling myself. "Oh but he's sooo sexy", the voice in my head said.
After a torturous half an hour it was finally time for lunch. "Well I'm ready", Roy said standing up and walking towards the door. "Ok Riza. You can do this, just act normal", I thought has I got up and followed Roy out the door. "Going to lunch sir?", Falman asked. "I have some people to meet with", Roy answered. Though I could tell by the look on Falmans face he was thinking 'they're dating finally'. I tried to stop blushing but I failed luckily for me Falman had his back turned. We walked in silence until we were finally out of the building. "So what kinds of food does this café serve?", I asked breaking the silence. "Mostly American food", Roy answered, "the owner moved her from America with his daughter so he could be with her while she was at college". "Is he a friend of yours?", I asked. "You could say that", Roy replied and I noticed that we'd reached the café. The sign read Eddies Café.
"Ladies first", Roy said opening the door and grinning. I felt my lips form a smile even though I didn't want them to. "Your usual seat Roy?", a voice asked. I turned in the direction it had come from and saw someone, obviously the owner. "Yes, and how's Mary doing with her studies?", he asked. "Just great", came the reply has we walked over to a booth. "What'll it be to drink?", Eddy asked. "I'll just have a milkshake", Roy answered. "Milkshake? Who would've thought that the great Flame Alchemist would order one of those", I thought to myself. "And what will this lovely little lady have?", Eddy asked me and I felt my cheeks blush. I had never been called anything like that before. "I'll have the same", I replied. There was an uncomfortable silence between us until Roy broke it. "So, have you ever dated before?", he asked me. "Yes, a few times", I answered. "What went wrong?", he asked again and our drinks arrived. "Now what can I get you two lovebirds to eat?", Eddy asked again making me blush. "I'll have the usual", Roy said. "And what about you?", he asked me. I hadn't really looked at the menu so I just ordered what Roy did. "You haven't answered my question", Roy said. "It just didn't work out with any of them. After I joined the military I just gave up dating", I answered. "It would seem that your back in the habit", Roy said putting his hand on mine. Instantly I felt the same warmth I had felt the night before whenever he touched or kissed me. I suddenly needed to feel his lips against mine. "Here you go", Eddy said placing two plates in front of us. They were sandwiches, with a side of fries. "Its called a hamburger, try it its very good", Roy said taking a bite. "Besides, its better than the food that you get at HQ", he said. I decided to just try it anyway. I took a bite of it, it tasted pretty good. "Not hungry?", Roy asked. "No, I'm just not big on foreign food", I replied. "You get used to it", he said sticking a fry into his mouth. I took another bite of my burger and felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked at Roy and our gazes met. If we weren't in a public place I'd kiss him like there was no tomorrow and I had a feeling he felt the same way.
After lunch we headed back to HQ. "Thanks for lunch", I said along the way. "Don't mention it. I enjoy spending time with you", Roy answered. "Why don't we take a shortcut through the park?", I said to Roy. It would take longer but lunch hadn't lasted has long has I'd expected and we still had time to kill. It was a nice day and there were lots of people at the park. Children playing, old people sitting on park benches and young couples all enjoying the parks scenery. We sat down a bench and took it all in. I put my head on his shoulder and he put his arm around me. "What a beautiful day", I said softly. "Not has beautiful has the woman in my arms", Roy said placing a kiss on my forehead. "Roy…", I moaned. I felt his lips against mine and I returned his kiss. He pulled me closer to him and I felt his tongue in my mouth exploring it. When we finally broke apart it was only to breathe. "I need you", I moaned kissing him again. I had no idea a bliss like this existed. I moaned into his mouth and he broke the kiss. "Not here", he said panting. "It's too close to HQ someone might see us", he said getting up. Reluctantly I followed him. "But", he said. "It's Friday and I usually don't do much but tonight I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining me for dinner?". "I can't believe it. He asked me out!". "I'd love to", I answered. I suddenly realized that we were walking up the steps to the building. "I'll pick you up around eight", he said holding the door open for me. I nodded and stepped through the doors, "see you then", I said. "All right we're back at the office. Don't act strange around Roy and you should be ok", I thought to myself.
"Have a nice time with the Colonel?", Breda asked. I simply stared and said, "whatever do you mean?". "You know what I'm talking about. I mean, you were both in the office last night", he said grinning. "You have quite an imagination", I said walking back into Roys office. Has soon has I shut the door I walked straight into Roy. "So eager to see me?", he said grinning. "It would seem that your subordinates are spreading rumors about us", I said looking up at him smiling. He put his hands on my waist and put his head next to my ear, "I could burn them if you like". I chuckled and pecked him on the lips, "come on. Its time to get back to work", I said. Instead of letting me go he pulled me closer. "Not until you give me a kiss", he said smiling. "I just did", I said trying to get away. "No, I mean a real kiss", he said lowering his hands to my rear. "Oh God can't you just wait until tonight!", I said almost yelling. "This answer your question?", he said pressing his body against mine so I could feel his erection. "Fine", I said wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling his face towards mine nearly yanking his head off. The kiss was intense, and filled with passion. He licked my lower lip and I opened my mouth granting him entrance and our tongues fought for dominance. I felt his hands slide under my shirt and I broke the kiss. "Just remember, I owe you tonight", I said to him pecking him on the lips. "Now sit down and do your work", I said going back to my desk and sitting down. "I still don't know why I listen to you", he said starting with his paperwork. "Well sir, if you didn't you'd never get anything done around here for one", I said to him. "Sure I would", he said confidently, "just not has fast". "Liar. Without my constant nagging you wouldn't get a thing done around here", I said teasingly. He didn't say anything else. He knew he'd been beaten, again.
The warmth of the shower water flowed over my body. My thoughts drifted to the night that me and Roy had shared in the office. It had been my first time though I didn't tell him. It had been wonderful, a physical euphoria that I never knew existed. I turned the shower off and stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around myself. I looked at myself in the mirror, I had never cared how I looked until now. I put some lipstick on along with some eye shadow. "It's been a long time since I used this stuff", I thought has I applied blush to my cheeks. I looked at my reflection. "Perfect", I thought to myself has I walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. The dress I had rented for the night was lying on the bed. "I hope Roy enjoys this", I said aloud has I put the dress on. It was a sky blue dress with a V-neck and spaghetti straps and it showed off much of my back. The dress stopped at my ankles and had a tear that went up to my knee. I looked at the clock, it read 7:58. "Roy will be here any minute", I thought to myself, "just act normal". I didn't even know why I was doing this. Putting my career at stake just to be with him. It occurred to me that I could've been a colonel a long time ago but I refused my promotions. "Did I do that just to stay with Roy?", I thought to myself again. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Coming!", I called. I took one last look in the mirror and then went to the front door. I opened it and there stood Roy wearing a suit and holding a bouquet of flowers. "These are for you", he said handing me the flowers. "Thank you", I said smiling at him. "I'm just going to put these in some water and then we can go", I said going back inside. "Nice place you got here", I heard him say has I went into the kitchen. I got out a vase, filled it with water, and put the flowers in them.
"Ok, I'm ready", I said coming back into the living room. Roy turned around from the wall he had been looking at. "You never told me you had family in the military", Roy said putting his arm around my waist. "It never came up", I replied nervously. Family was a touchy subject with me. "So where are we going?", I asked has Roy led me to his car. "Someplace you'll like", he replied opening the door for me. I got into the car and Roy got in on the other side and we drove away. "That's a nice dress", Roy said to me putting his hand on my leg. "Not has nice has miniskirt but—", I slapped his hand away. "I don't think I'll give you the pleasure of seeing me in a miniskirt…yet", I replied. "So I will get to see you in a miniskirt?", "eventually", I replied smiling at him. "You should smile more often, you look pretty when you do", he said to me. I felt my cheeks blush at this and I bit my lip. "We're here", he said. The name of the place was Palmero's Italian Restaurant. We got out and walked into the restaurant.
"Good evening. Do you have reservations?", the host asked us. "Yes, under Mustang", Roy said. The host checked his schedule and then looked back up at us, " This way Colonel", he said and we followed him to our table. Inside the restaurant people were talking and eating. A band was playing music while people danced. "A waiter will be by shortly to take your drink orders. Have a nice evening", the host said walking off. I looked at the menu and found that it was in Italian. "The only Italian food I know is spaghetti", I thought to myself. "Having trouble with the menu?", Roy asked. "They don't teach you other languages in the military", I replied putting the menu down. "Let me help you", he said picking up the menu. "Do you like any Italian food?", he asked me. "Some", I replied, "I like chicken alfredo". "Hello my name is Tony and what can I get you to drink?", he asked. "I'll have the red wine", Roy said. The waiter turned his gaze to me, "and you ma'am?", "I'll have the same". "And would you like to order now or do you need a few minutes?", Tony asked. "Do you want to wait to order or not?", Roy asked me. "Let's go ahead", I answered. "And what would you like miss?", Tony asked me. "I'll have the chicken alfredo", I said. "I'll have spaghetti with meat sauce", Roy said handing the waiter the menus. "Ok we'll be back shortly with your orders", he said walking off. "Do you come here often?", I asked him. "Only when I'm entertaining 'special' friends", he replied giving me his trademark smirk that I'd grown to love so much. "So does that mean I'm special?", "maybe". "How long has it been?", Roy asked. "How long has what been?", I replied. Roy put his hand on mine and squeezed it lightly, "how long has it been since I met you?". "At least…five years", I answered. "Yes I remember. You were the prettiest new recruit I had ever seen. And the best shot". I blushed and Roy kept on going, "I remember the first time I asked you on a date with me you rejected me before I could even finish", he said laughing. I laughed at the memory has well and remembered the shock I felt when I'd been assigned has his aid. He had only been a Major at the time but he was still the same cocky womanizer. "Foods here", Roy said looking behind me.
After we had eaten our fill Roy asked me if I'd like to dance. "I'd love to", I answered. Roy took my hand and led me on to the dance floor. "Have you ever dance much?", he asked me. "Only at the military balls and that wasn't very much", I replied shaking my head. It occurred to me that I almost only danced with Roy at those balls. A slow song came on and I put my head on Roy's shoulder. Suddenly me and Roy were the only people in the world. I smiled has the memory of our first meeting came to me.
Flashback
It had been during the Ishbal war. I was seventeen and I had just joined the military. I was scared but I didn't show it. I had been cleaning my guns when somebody had walked into my tent and told me that I was wanted at the command tent.
When I got there a young major with dark black hair had his back turned to me. "Private Riza Hawkeye reporting for duty sir", I said standing at attention. "At ease", he said turning to face me and I saw how handsome he was. "I assume your wondering why you're here Private", he said sitting down behind a desk. "Yes sir", I replied. "Well, Central command has decided that I've spent enough time here and has decided to transfer me to Eastern", he began. "Sir, with all due respect what does this have to do with me?". "It would seem that my aid has gotten himself killed. And I've been looking for a replacement". I suddenly knew where this was going. "I've watched you Private. Your no frontline soldier, even if you are the best shot around", he said leaning back in his chair. Inside I was relieved that I would be leaving Ishbal, "no more hiding in trenches", I thought to myself. "I can understand if you don't want to accept my offer so I'll give you some time to think about it. You have until 0900 tomorrow to make up your mind".
The next morning I showed up at the command tent ready to leave for Eastern. I didn't know why but I felt drawn to Roy. After that we were inseparable He took me everywhere he went and our relationship grew deeper.
End Flashback
"I had a wonderful time Roy", I said when Roy dropped me off. Roy smirked his trademark smirk and stepped closer to me, "I seem to be remembering a certain promise you made me", he said bringing his face closer to mine.
Mr. Scarface: -sniff-sniff-What's that I smell? Why it must be lemon!
Roy: Shut up Scarface and hurry up with the last chapter me and Riza want to have sex.
Riza: You mean 'Roy' wants to have sex. The first time was almost torture for me. Didn't your mother ever teach you how to please a woman
Mr. Scarface: Girls, calm down. And to all you readers don't worry I'll update soon or else these two will kill me. Peace up.
Mr. Scarface
