Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, nor do I own the series "Full Metal Alchemist." I am making no profit from my story.

Warning: Well, actually, I have no warning except for "Don't read if you're afraid of kissing."

Authors Note: It seems, by accident, I used a plot method that was already in use by another member. Credit for this plot method goes to Mr Scarface. I did not use his method on purpose, nor did I profit from it. The method used can be seen in chapter one of this story. It was the way Roy asked Riza to lunch, and what they had for a meal. To see the story this came from, search the title A Roy and Riza Story. Again, the author was Mr Scarface, who actually alerted me to my mistake.

Roy could not get a single wink of sleep that night. Little did he know, neither could Riza. Riza tossed and turned all night, and so did Roy. Riza, not be able to sleep, decided to call Roy. Roy answered on the first ring.

"Hello?" Riza said this with surprise.

"Riza?" Roy replied.

"Roy, what are you doing awake? It's 11:00."

"Well, I couldn't sleep. I was just sitting here, tossing and turning."

"Well, actually, the same goes for me. I couldn't sleep at all."

"Do you know why?"

"Well, if truth be told, I was thinking of you."

"Are you serious? The reason I couldn't sleep was because I was thinking of you."

"Well, Roy, do you want to come over here for the night? Maybe we both can get some sleep. How does that sound?"

"I'll be there in ten minutes."

"I'll be waiting for you, honey."

Roy goes to Riza's house. When he arrived, she opened the door before he even had time to knock. As soon as she opened the door, Riza threw her arms around Roy, and kissed him deeply. Roy, shocked, but enjoying, kissed Riza back. Riza pulled Roy into the house, and offered him a seat on the couch. After he took his seat, Riza offered Roy a drink. Tomorrow being Saturday, Roy decided that he and Riza could stay up and talk, if she was ok with it. He told her anything was fine, and so she brought him a cup of coffee.

Roy brought up the stay-up-and-talk plan he had. Riza said she was fine with that. They started talking about the past, and pretty much anything. Both felt so special to be allowed in the others presence. They knew they would last as a couple. They shared a love so strong, nothing could come between them. Riza told Roy that she planned on seeing Edward and Alphonse Elric in their hometown the next day.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Roy asked Riza.

"I'd love it if you accompanied me there, if that's what you're asking," Riza replied. "I am sorry for the short notice Roy, but I just got my ticket today."

"It's no problem, Riza. I'd love to go. Besides, I haven't had the pleasure of teasing Edward in about two months. That's a little too long for me. Wouldn't you say so?"

"Well, Roy, I know you love to tease Edward. You know, it's just going to get him excited and angry."

"I know, but it's Ed. What's he going to do to me?"

"Roy, you'd be surprised with what that boy can do."

"I know. Edward has some amazing talents, and he could be a very good fighter when he puts his mind to it. I like to give that boy credit, although it never seems it. There's only one thing wrong with him."

"What's wrong with him, Roy?"

"His lack of respect for authority, and blindly rushing into whatever he feels is right. It'll get him killed one day."

"You're right, Roy. Well, I'm tired. Do you want to go to bed?"

"Sure. I'm tired as well."

Roy and Riza go to Riza's room, and get in bed. Roy feels safe when he is with Riza, and decides to get closer to her. At this point, she smiles, knowing nothing can get her when she is with Roy. Roy places his chin upon Riza's shoulder, and kisses her cheek. He then whispers in her ear "I love you," and falls asleep. Riza's smile widens, and she falls asleep too, with a hint of a tear of happiness in her eye.

Riza dreams about many things that night, including a honeymoon with Roy. Riza could not tell where they went, but it was somewhere nice. An island scene in her dream, where no one, save the couple, was anywhere to be seen, and there was a beautiful coast line, with an awesome beach. Looking into the horizon, you could see nothing but water. The scene was very peaceful, and Hawkeye and Mustang were both there. Not only were they visiting there, but they were actually living there. The house, it was enormous, and the couple was secluded, as they wished to be, from the world.

Inside the house, there were many precious items from when the two worked in the military. Awards for everything, including accuracy, speed, stealth, and others for Hawkeye, and valor, honor, and courage for Roy covered the walls. Many other items, such as pictures taken with high up men and women in the military were also on the walls. The couple had everything they needed, and more, just being together. In comparison to their beauty as a couple, the awards were nothing special at all.

In Riza's mind, she could see having Edward, Alphonse, and Winry, as well as many members from their group when they were in the military, joining them for a dinner that she prepared. She could imagine joking, and reminiscing about former military life with Breda, Falman, Fury, and Havoc, as well as Ed's current life in the military. Edward and Winry was a couple as well, or at least they were in Riza's dream. Alphonse, always being the most polite person you could meet, had no girlfriend, but he had his body. Also, Alphonse was happy seeing his brother happy. As long as Ed had Winry, and Roy had Riza, everything was fine, and could be nothing but fine.

The perfect harmony in Riza's dream seemed like it would last forever, but then, out of nowhere, a noise interrupts Riza's dream. That noise, as Riza discovered, was the alarm clock, and that dream, she discovered was only a dream. It could be nothing more than a dream, or a trick of the imagination, at least for now, because Roy and Riza were only boyfriend and girlfriend, although Riza was sure it would become more, one day.

She shuts her alarm clock off, and looks at Roy, who was still sleeping. She didn't want to wake him up, but he wanted to go with her to see Edward, Alphonse, and Winry. She decided that Roy could sleep more on the train. Riza woke up Roy with a kiss, and whispered to him, "Wake up honey. We'll miss the train if you don't."

At this, Roy was instantly awake. He heard the voice of his young lover call to him, and that was all he needed to get ready for the day. Roy jumped out of bed, and asked Hawkeye how long it would be before the train left.

"It will be about thirty-five to fourty minutes, Roy."

"Do you think I'd have time to go home, and take a quick shower before we leave?"

"Yes, I do believe you'd have time."

"Well then, Riza, I'll be back in twenty-five minutes."

"Ok, and then we can leave right for the train station."

"That sounds like a plan to me."

Roy rushed home, and took a quick shower. He threw on some casual clothes, and prepared for a long train ride to the Rockbell's, where Edward and Alphonse Elric were staying. At the same time, Riza was already getting out of the shower, feeling rejuvenated, and ready for life. No sooner than she got dressed did she hear a knock on her door. She opened it to see none other than Roy Mustang, leaning on the rail that leads up the steps.

"You ready?" Roy asked Riza with a cheery voice.

"Yes, I am. Are you as well?"

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

"Well then, let's go."

Roy opened Hawkeye's door, and then his own. He climbed into his car, and drove to the train station. He got his ticket, and got on the train with Hawkeye. About five minutes after they boarded, the train left, heading to the location of both the Rockbells and Elrics.

Riza fell asleep, and laid her head on Roy's shoulder. Roy took this opportunity to rest his head on Riza's. He smelled her hair, and loved the scent. It was intriguing to him that a woman could smell so fresh, and so invigorating. He fell asleep leaned over on Hawkeye. They awoke to a very loud train whistle in their ears.

"Well, we must be here," Hawkeye stated.

"Yes, it seems that we are," Roy replied. "I remember the first time I was here. The night Edward and Alphonse performed 'Human transmutation.' What a horrid sight Edward was. His body was mangled, and he was missing both his right arm, and his left leg. Such memories bring back fondness and hate for such the life I lead."

"Roy, you should forget about the past."

"You should tell Edward the same thing. If you open his pocket watch, you'll understand what I mean. If you ever see inside it, tell me, please."

"Of course, I will, Roy."

"Thank you. Now, shall we depart?"

"Yes, for I am quite eager to see the group of three," Hawkeye said fondly.

"So am I," Roy agreed.

As they left heading towards the house of Pinako Rockbell, they took the time to enjoy the sights of the country-side. Riza loved how it was out here, with the many fields of grass, and groves of trees visible for miles. Soon, the house they were visiting came into view, and the two lovers quickened their pace. What they would find would surprise them.
