Disclaimer: I still do own the "Full Metal Alchemist" characters, or story, although I'd love to. This story is entirely fictional, except for the characters, and again, I'm making no money from this story.

Warning: The following chapter contains some romance, but not in the form of love-making. But, if you're afraid of kissing (You pansy), stay away from this story. Again, don't steal my story. Write your own, and get your own credit.

Authors note: In this chapter, Roy and Riza will get a little romantic with each other. Nothing bad. Remember, this is the "Safe, clean" story, and I will have a sequel. In that sequel, the first two chapters will be the same, but the third will be entirely different. So, if you want to read that, it will be called "Roy and Riza, Together ForeverB" I'll be sure to Email you when it comes out. Email me and tell me you wish to be notified.

As they got in the car, and drove away, the rallying points set up by Maes, Havoc, Fury, Breda, and Falman proved to be quite useful to them. They didn't have any real blind spots. Until the time Roy pulled into his driveway, and exited the car, at least one of his subordinates could see him.

Roy and Riza walked into Roy's house. After they entered, Roy offered Riza something to drink. She said she'd like some strawberry milk, and so Roy made two glasses of it.

"Here you go," Roy said, offering Riza a glass of milk.

"Thank you," she replied. "Roy, do you want to go to bed?"

"Well, I am tired, and it seems you are too."

"Yes, I am."

"Do you want some pajamas? I have a pair that should fit you."

"Yes, please, that would be great."

"Ok, I'll be right back."

Upon his return, Roy gave Riza a pair of pajamas. Riza went into the bathroom to change into them, while Roy went into his room to get ready for bed. When Riza returned, Roy was waiting for her. He kissed her on the cheek, and she kissed him back. Slowly, but sensually, he made his way to her lips. They kissed for about 5 minutes before the two climbed into bed. Roy and Riza slept side by side, with Roy's arm around Riza's waist. This was the relationship Hawkeye and Mustang both had always dreamed about. Finally, they had each other.

The next day, when going to the office, Roy and Riza both looked happier than ever. They often smiled to one another, and the office was actually an enjoyable place. Roy got more work than ever done, and Riza was not as hard on him. The both just thought of each other, and that gave them the strength to carry on. Roy let his men have pretty much total free will that day, so they talked about how happy they were that the two were together. They wondered if Mustang and Hawkeye ever planned on telling them about their relationship, or if they were going to hide it forever. They just decided to try to keep it a secret from everyone but themselves, because if the military found out, both would be dishonorably discharged, and shamed among the military.

"Lieutenant," Roy said calmly. "Would you like to take the rest of the day as a calm day, and discuss matters with the others?"

"Well, sir, I think it would be fair of us to tell them, although they probably already know."

"How could they know?"

"Well, sir, Lieutenant Colonel Hughes is head of the investigations department, and he could easily have found out by now."

"Well, knowing Hughes, he'd keep it to himself, especially about me."

"Sir, you know Hughes would be more likely to tell them since it is about you, and me, and well, us."

"Maybe you're right. Should we tell them now, or later, or at all?"

"Well, I'm fine with now if you are, sir."

"Then let's go."

Roy and Riza walked into the hall. Roy went to the lounge where he saw each of his subordinates sitting, talking and laughing. Roy wondered what they were talking about, and so did Riza.

"Well, what's so funny?" Roy asked, clearing his throat afterwards. "Someone like me would think you men have work to do…Especially you, Hughes."

"Well, Roy," Hughes began. "I have been working, but I decided it was time for a break. Naturally, I came to the break room, and saw these fine men sitting here. We started a conversation, and we'd like to finish now, and go back to work. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, sir," said Warrant Officer Falman.

"You men, including you, Hughes, are relieved from your duties until further notice," Hawkeye said. "Colonel Mustang and I have important news to tell you."

"Thank you, lieutenant," Roy said. "I can take it from here if you want."

"That's fine with me, sir," Hawkeye replied.

"Well, Riza and I are dating," Roy said casually.

"We know," replied all of the men in the room.

Roy had a confused look on his face. He was wondering how all of them could have known they were going out. Riza was right when she thought Hughes had his information correct.

"I didn't tell them a thing, Roy," Hughes said.

"I didn't think you would, Hughes," Mustang replied.

At that point, everyone started talking about how they learned that the two were dating, and no one could hear anyone else talk. Roy, wanting to take control of the situation, snapped his fingers, and made a ball of fire in the middle of the room. Everyone feel silent.

"Here's what we're going to do," Roy said angrily. "One at a time, you are going to tell me how you learned of this. Falman, you tell me your side first."

"Well, sir, I saw you smiling yesterday, and you had a carefree expression. You didn't say anything, and you were humming to yourself. I never thought anything, or anyone could make you as happy as dating Lieutenant Hawkeye, so I assumed. That's how I learned, sir."

"I see. Thank you," Roy said to Falman. "Well, we know how Falman learned. Breda, you tell me your side now."

Breda said frantically, "Well, sir, the same story goes for me and Falman pretty much the same. You see, we were together, in our office, and the door was open. You walked by, and I saw about the same as Falman, and knowing your feelings for First Lieutenant Hawkeye, I thought it over for a while, and decided that was the only possible thing to have happened."

At this, Hawkeye started to smile. It seemed everyone in the office, save herself, knew that Roy loved her. She was quite pleased with Roy, and a little ashamed of herself. She knew that Roy always flirted with other girls, and thought that he never had serious feelings for anyone.

"Thank you Breda. Fury, you're up."

"Well, sir, I just learned about it now, from Havoc, Breda, Falman, and Hughes."

"I see. Well, Havoc, how'd you learn?"

"Sir, I've known you far too long to not know. When you're with someone, you tend to be easier on me, and the rest of us here in the office. Sir, if the truth be told, you're cockier when you have a date planned. Although I happen to know that Lieutenant Hawkeye has been your first date, I knew. I just know you too well, sir." Havoc had said this smoothly and easily, as if he has rehearsed it.

Roy blushed when Havoc had said his little bit about "Hawkeye has been your first date." He did this, because it was true, and he knew it. Only Havoc knew that until now. Riza felt a little bit calmer now, because she thought Roy had experience, and she didn't. It turns out, as she just learned, that neither of them had any dating experience. This pleased her, because she knew Roy and she were playing on the same level.

The time was 5:00, and Roy had a little work to finish. He planned on finishing by 6:00, and going home to cook dinner. Riza had other plans however. She was going to go home, make sure Hayate was fine, as she did every night, and take a shower. Then, after that, she'd probably get takeout.

As 6:00 came around, Roy had finished his work, as did Riza. On the way out of the office, Roy kissed Riza's cheek, and held the door open for her. They got to cars, and drove their separate ways. Tomorrow would be a new day, and they would see each other again. They knew it.
