Out of little Black eyes

Chapter 9: Late night matters and an unexpected visit

And another day ended with no news of the Elrice brothers.

Well, the day almost ended. Roy was having a hard time to sleep. All of the sudden his worries and fears all came up. When is Full Metal going to be back? What will Riza think if she finds out who I am/was. What was this emergency for what Riza was called in? I couldn't hear anything …

I hope Riza won't get sent on a dangerous mission. I am not able to protect her, so she could be hurt … or killed he gulped at this thought. But at last he found sleep but not a nice dream:

---dream---

Riza struggled she couldn't loosen the grasp of her opponent.

"Please, don't … "she rasped (?) for air.

"I have to kill all militaries. Filth" Scar said.

Roy was only able to watch how the arm glowed and Riza died. Her blood was everywhere. Roy looked down to avoid the gruesome scene in front of him. But he was also covered in her blood He looked at scar.

"Now it is your turn. Lt. Colonel Roy Mustang"

"How … how did you know?" Roy stammered in fear.

"I can see your sins." The red eyes pierced through the dark. The ishbalian came closer.

He came closer and closer. Roy only reviewed Riza's death over and over again. Now the hand closed over his head everything went black.

---dream---

Ryan woke up with a scream. His whole body was covers in sweat, his pyjama stuck to skin. A nightmare …

Riza came running out of her room; her eyes were full of worries. As Roy saw her he just had to cry.

She hugged the boy and cooed "What's wrong Ryan? Are you alright?"

He sobbed into her shirt.

"I had a nightmare … a very terrible nightmare. You were killed, and I couldn't protect you, it was my fault you died" His sobs got harder.

"You are drenched. But its ok it was only a dream, nothing more. I am ok. Come with me."

She picked up the boy and carried him into her room. She set him on her bed and she took out another pair of pyjamas.

"Here, change into something dry before you catch a cold. And then we will go back to sleep."

He did as he said, still sniffling. As he was finished she patted the spot next to her.

"Today you will sleep with me. There will be no more bad dreams, I promise," she pointed onto a dream catcher over her bed, "this will catch all the nightmares."

Roy crawled into the bed next to her. He couldn't believe that he was going to sleep next to HIS Riza.

It was like a dream come true. He lay down; he felt how Riza protectively put an arm around him. She kissed his back head and said goodnight.

Her soft and even breathing then finally made Roy sleepy and he also could at last sleep peacefully without any nightmares.

(Changed it a little but credits to FeartheFluff smile)

Roy woke up to the movement next to him. Riza was slowly stretching, a big yawn escaping.

She turned to Roy seeing that he was looking at her.

"Oh, sorry Ryan did I wake you?"

He shook his head and snuggled against Riza's warm body. She chuckled. Then a loud knock was heard. Riza got up and put on a morning coat. She went to answer the door, little Roy walking behind her still rubbing the sand out of his eyes,

A strong, man voice boomed. "Riza my daughter how are you." Then some female person talked. Suddenly a big man, a smaller woman a pretty young woman and a tall young man came walking into the apartment.

It was the Hawkey Family.

The all turned to Roy and looked stunned.

Her father turned to her and held her by the arms. "Riza why did you keep a secret of being mother? Who is the father?"

Roy recognized the man; he was some high animal in the military. Actually almost the whole family was in the military except Rizas mother and sister.

Her mother came racing to him. She hugged him so tightly he struggled for air. The rest of the family followed. He was given around to adore, look at and being hugged. Riza still stood startled at the door.

"He isn't mine. I am just watching him"

Her brother said "Oh Riza you can't hide it anymore, so you got the Lt. Colonel Mustang? He sure looks a lot like him"

They all gave a toothy grin.

Roy only stared at them.

"And what is your name, little guy? I am Sara" the sister smiled.

"My name is … Ryan" he sweat dropped (anime style)

"And this is our brother Kouchi, mother Hana and the boss Chou" By mentioning the name they waved their hand.

"I'll change and make some tea, and then I can explain everything. Pleas wait" She took Ryan by his hand and returned back to the bedroom. She closed the door and sighed.

She gave Roy black pants and a red and white long sleeved shirt as she put on tight jeans and top with a fitting jacket in purple.

She left the room, Roy peering shy out of the Room, Riza put on an Apron as her family discussed the situation in the living room how do I get into the kitchen without being seen by the Hawkes, and hugged to death. But his rescue came.

Riza's voice came out of the kitchen: "Ryan, could you help me a sec?" He raced out of the bedroom into the kitchen out of air when he arrived.

"You look like you ran for your life. Oh come on my family isn't that bad." She chuckled as she saw the cute pouting face of a five year old looking up to her.

"Could you carry this bowl of salad into the living room" He did as told and came back as soon as he put the plate on the living room table. Riza just had to chuckle.

She finished her cooking and went to her family. There they all sat, and waited for her explanation.

"Well, why do you deny your own son?" her mother asked sipping a cup of tea.

"He isn't my son, I am just watching a relative of Lt. Colonel Mustang."

Roy tried to crawl into Rizas lap; he was very interested what Riza thought of him.

"Oh that is a pity and I thought I would be aunt." Sara made a fake frown.

"But you wished he was yours and that Mustangs kid, don't you" her brother had a knowing look on his face.

Roy looked at her a mischievous smile on his face. "What does he mean Riza? Do you like Unkel Roy"

Riza was startled now 'Ryan' was doing the same. "Well, I … Hey, that is none of your business" She looked down on him and just saw this mischievous smile on him. He looks like the Colonel

The family laughed. They saw that Ryan was not Riza's child but she was feeling like a mother. She would be a great mother and they all just hoped that she will get the right guy, even when it would be Lt. Colonel Roy Mustang.

It was a nice day after all, even when the first impression of Riza's family was scary. It was only that they were all happy.

Later that evening:

"Riza could I sleep with you again?" Ok that sounded perverted; maybe she will understand the right thing

"Sure little man, still scared of those nightmares of yours?"

He nodded. And again Roy could cuddle against his beloved subordinate.

"Riza do you like Roy?" He tried again maybe she would tell him when they are alone"

She just smile at the boy, gave him a kiss on the forehead.

He blushed 10 shades of red.

"Goodnight Ryan. Sleep tight" And with that she began to sleep. (Credits to beautifly92)
