Chapter Four

The next morning when I woke up the first thing that I noticed was that Riza wasn't in bed. I got up and found a note on the dresser.

Dear Roy,

I didn't want to wake you so I left you some food downstairs. If you're reading this then I'm already at work. I enjoyed last night so I'll give a light workload just this once.

Riza

I chuckled has I put the note back on the dresser and noticed that Riza had gotten out one of my uniforms. "How did she get one of my uniforms?", I thought to myself has I put it on. I walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. Sure enough, Riza had left out some coffee and toast. After eating my quick but filling breakfast I left for work.

"Hey colonel have a nice night?", Havoc asked grinning.

"I'm sure it was better than yours Havoc", I said walking into my office.

When I got in my office Riza had her back turned to me. She was stacking files on my desk and it looked like it would take hours to get it all done. I walked up behind her and put my hands on her shoulders.

"I thought you said you were giving me a light load", I said to her. She tensed slightly when she felt my breath on her neck. She turned around to face me.

"Why sir, this is a light workload", she said. Behind her emotionless gaze that I had grown so accustomed to, I could see a hint of something. And I suspected that she was laughing at me inside.

"You're playful today", I said to her.

I kissed her lightly on the lips. The kiss was intended to be short but she held on. Like this would be the last time that I would ever kiss her again. When we pulled apart Riza nuzzled her face in my chest and hugged me. A little surprised, I returned her embrace.

"Riza", I said to her, "is something wrong?".

A tear formed in her eye and I wiped it away.

"Roy", she began, "I—".

Before she could finish the door opened and Fullmetal entered the room. "Great timing Ed", I thought to myself. Ed took one look at the scene in front of him and left the room. I turned back to Riza.

"What is it?", I asked her again.

"Nothing", she said quickly. "I just wasn't feeling well that's all", she said.

Though I didn't believer her I let her go get back to work. I sat down behind my desk and got to work. Though I couldn't help but think that there was something Riza wasn't telling me.

Surprisingly the day went by pretty quick. After work I offered to drive Riza home but she declined. So I walked home to my mansion. My dark, lonely mansion. Has soon has I got home I went upstairs to my room. I went to my nightstand and opened one of the drawers. I pulled out a black velvet box that had been my mothers. Riza was the woman for me, I knew it. Out of all the women that I had had, Riza was the only one that I truly cared for. "Who cares if I get kicked out of the military. Has long as I have her", I thought to myself.

--- --- ---

Every thing was packed and ready to go. This was the saddest moment of my life. I hated leaving Roy but I had to. Roy's ultimate goal was to become Fuhrer, I couldn't get in the way of that.

"Come on Hayate", I said to the dog has I got into the taxi.

The taxi drove to the train station, and Riza got out. She hadn't told Roy but she was leaving Central and transferring to Eastern. Luckily for her Roy didn't know about Riza's family. Hawkeye wasn't even her real last name. It had been her mothers maiden name. My father was a general. And I hadn't told Roy a thing about him so he couldn't find me.

When I boarded the train I almost broke into tears. I would probably never see Roy again. And if I did, his feelings for me would probably have changed and he'd be sleeping with some other girl. In the seat next to me was a young couple. They appeared to be very in love with each other. Suddenly I wished that I was back at home with Roy. I longed for the feel of his lips against mine, and knew that I was going to miss him greatly. "Roy", I thought to myself, "I love you".


Ok, maybe some of you who've been reading this thought that Riza was going to tell Roy. WRONG ANSWER! Now, Riza is on a train to Eastern away from Roy. All part of a diabolical scheme to piss off readers like you –laughs maniacally-. Ok but seriously, if you thoroughly read the summary it said that Riza leaves, then in the story she gets pregnant. What did you think was going to happen? –sighs-, whatever. Just yell at me in your reviews.
