A/N: Sorry for the cliffhanger! How was it? Does it explain everything! Waha, I just thought of that, for maybe..a minute..whatever pops into my head.. I write it in a fic! Waha.. anyway..here's the next chap!
"Riza!" Ed said, almost bumping the woman.
"Oh, Edward Elric, Al hi! So were you from Mustang? So how was it? Did you have other leads on the Philosopher's Stone?" Riza asked.
"Uh, no.. but Roy didn't mind. I don't know why, anyway Riza did you get a letter for me inviting you and Roy to have a date?" Ed said.
"Yeah, don't tell Roy but I was really surprised about you Ed, of all people bringing us two together! I know you don't like Mustang that much, but… thanks!" Riza said with a covered face so that her blushing madly won't be seen. (is it OOC sorry!wahaha..)
"Oh thanks, but where exactly did you find my letter huh Ms. Hawkeye?" Ed asked. "Wait, did you just thank me, for hooking you up with Mustang?" Ed continued in absolute alarm.
"Uh.. yeah, I thanked you, I've been single all my life and well…except for one person that doesn't matter anymore. Anyway uhm.. everyone in the military has been wanting to do the same for us but, nothing worked, we were both very busy, but I was surprised, both of us have time tomorrow. Roy may be annoying sometimes and stupid in his actions at times too, but I'm still a woman and I need to find other guys. I won't stop only because of that one happening" Riza said smiling. (Really? Joke!) "But Ed, would you help me with the date? I don't know what to do! Would you spy on us? Please, it's been years since I've been to one of these things. You two Al! You can help too!" Riza continued.
"Uh, okay fine, so where's the venue, I forgot what I wrote to you.. and Mustang" Ed said with a sweatdrop.
Hawkeye wrote the time and place for the 2 and they went on their separate ways for the moment, at least until the "date".
"Why'd you not tell her that you didn't give her that letter!" Al said. "Lying is bad brother! One way or another they'll find out that you didn't put them up to this!" Al continued.
"Al please understand, I did it for them, I want them to be happy, and this is the first time I saw Ms. Hawkeye smile, a real smile! Roy looked happy too. Both of them are always busy and stressed out and need time to enjoy life. Well if I told them the truth, do you think they'll enjoy themselves tomorrow?" Ed said without hesitation.
"I guess so brother. You do have a point there. Okay I'll help you. I do want them happy." Al agreed upon to.
Now, it's the next day, and Roy wore a black suit, the best he has (actually he only has one for special occasions such as this, this was special for him alright!). He also had a black necktie around his neck. He combed his hair well, but tried not to overdo it, he just made it all shiny and all that jazz. While Riza dressed in a red dressed that made her look very sexy. The dress wasn't over decorative but it was so elegant that would make any guy drool.. (lucky Roy, nobody saw Riza like this ever, except her ex..) She had some slits on her dress, which made her look even sexier and beautiful, with a red rose on her left too! Her hair was put down in a straight manner, with a few curls in the end. She had the a beautiful bracelet on with her as well, that was given to her by Roy when they went shopping with the other militarists.
Flashback
They were looking for somebody, tracking him off since that person did something bad. They were in a department store then, and Riza fell in love with the bracelet she saw there. Roy called her, but when he noticed she was staring on the bracelet, she bought it for her.. His reason was so that they could have a move on already.
Back to reality
"Wow Riza, you look exactly stunning and is that the bracelet I gave to you years ago?" Roy asked with a slight blush.
"Uh, yeah it is. I just thought it'll be the best opportunity to wear it, since we're not aloud to wear these kind of stuff while in the military. So, let's go in the restaurant?" Riza asked with also a slight blush. "By the way, you look stunning in your suit too, with your hair all shiny like that! It suits you!" Riza continued with a giggle.
"Okay, thanks." Roy said and held her hand.
Riza's POV
"He held my hand? What should I do? Go along with it, or get my gun that's just under this dress and put it near his face and threaten him? But that would be rude. We're on a date, why would I do that to him, it's only a hand, not as if he kissed me. Oh man, why am I thinking of such things. Oh man, I'm really nervous, I should just try to go with the flow. Nothing bad will happen to me when I'm with Roy" she thought.
End of POV
"Hey, look! Roy's made a move! Let's go in as well!" a big tin kid (he is okay!) behind the buildings said.
"Okay, let's go!" a short pipsqueak said. (I'm so mean to Ed! I live to torture him!bwahahaha…)
inside
"So, Hawkeye what would you want to have?" Roy asked.
"A crab, I love crabs.." Riza said as she smiled, the way she did yesterday.
"Crab it is then! Oh, I love crabs too, it's my favorite seafood!" Roy said trembling because he couldn't think of another thing to say. He doesn't know what topic to bring up so he panicked. (it was sooo obvious!)
In somewhere inside the restaurant were the brothers, when they saw Roy; they knew they had to help him. So they dressed up as waiters and brought the crabs to the two dating.
"Uh.. You're order madam, sir!" Ed said, trying to push his moustache up because it was falling and at the same time serve the food.
It was obvious to both Riza and Ed on who they were. They just played with it.
"Sir, why don't you be a gentleman and give a taste of your crab this beautiful girl over here?" Al suggested. (he's more obvious because you'll never ever find another guy like him!)
By this, Roy fed Riza a bite of his crab, and the same was with Riza to return the compliment/favor.
After eating, they had a long pause. The two fixed the dishes and suggested "Why don't you two try to dance there! Many people are enjoying themselves in the dancefloor!" they said in unison.
They still played with it and danced. In the crowded dance floor, the two felt happy. They had never enjoyed a normal like this since they entered the military.
"Hey Roy!" Riza said.
"Yeah? What is it?" Roy asked.
"Are you enjoying this?" Riza asked shyly.
"Of course.. I would never want to spend this date with anyone else but you." Roy slipped and said his true feelings.. (typical for Roy, he doesn't think think before he acts!) "Uh what I mean is.." Roy continued blushing in a shade of red that was a bright pink but was suddenly cut off when Riza hugged her (it was a slow dance already, so it's okay!)
"No need to explain, I feel the same way, let's just dance. Do you know I love dancing! It makes me free. I loved to dance before, but since I entered the military, I didn't have the time to do this. Thanks a lot Roy for sharing this important day with me!" Riza said with a lighter blush than Roy. (Is it OOC? Sorry!)
Roy said no other word and just continued to dance with the girl of her dreams, that he didn't have the courage to tell his true feelings too. At least, he spent this "date" with her, gripping her in his arms, and dancing with her. Having this day to spend with this certain strict blonde girl of the military, made him realize of what she really was. She wasn't just an adviser for him; she was someone that was dear to him. By years working with her made him realize that he needs her. Without her, he would have died already. She saved his life a million times, and didn't even have the opportunity to repay her hard work. He never really knew why she always looked out for him. At first he thought he was just like a mother to everybody, but slowly he realized, she's most like that to him. He feels she has the same feelings too and is afraid to show it.
In the distance, the two brothers were happy to see the sight of these "lovebirds" (wahaha…)
"One of them has to say "the three words!"" one silver armor suggested.
"Yeah, but knowing those two, they won't say it now, let's just watch them. Surely, one day, one of them will confess, I don't know which one it'll be, but I'm sure." Ed said stating it as if it was a matter of a fact.
"How are you so sure?" Al asked.
"Because I know Mustang and Hawkeye that much already. You may not have noticed but they're like our parents already and we should be happy if they're happy. And as us, like their kids, we should know what the future has in store for them. My guts are telling me this, and I'm just so sure of it, so don't worry, they'll be okay!" Ed said again, stating it as a fact. (he's getting to proud of himself these days…nah…just joking!)
After that day in the restaurant, the two bid their farewells.
"Bye Roy"
"Bye Riza"
Then, they went separate paths, walking in the rain.
