Chapter 2: The Confession

"Sir...you know that I…" she tried to say it, but before she could, Roy interrupted her by hugging her back. He ran his hand through her soft blonde hair.

"You…what?" he asked.

"You know...I've always kept secrets to myself, I never trust anyone because I know that other people will know sooner or later…and I just want the person the secret is about to know what the secret is."

"What are you talking about, Riza?"

"I just want to tell you that… I….; I was always too scared to tell you; I just didn't want you to know because you always had a date or a girlfriend. It was just too risky for me, I want to stay with you for a month, or even longer to take care of you, I want to be there for you." She started to cry. He was quiet and he didn't know what to do or to say, he knew what she was talking about…she loved him. It felt like they were just staying there hugging each other while Riza cried on his shoulder. She loved the warmth that Roy passed on to her and Roy loved the same.

"Ever since I joined the military—" Riza started,

"I've worked my way up to work just with you, I've been so in love with you, but I was just…too scared, too scared that you would reject me" she stopped and sobbed some more, she finally quieted down and fell asleep.

Roy gently put her on her bed in the guest room and Roy just kept thinking about what she said, she said something that Roy himself would never say. (Why didn't I return her feelings, why didn't I tell her that I loved her too?). He brought a cold glass of water into her room hoping she would wake up soon and have a drink and he left two small capsules for her to take when she wakes up, if she sleeps like that she should feel dizzy. Roy loved her too, but he didn't know how to say it.

Roy made dinner that night and left Riza's dinner inside the microwave for her to warm and eat when she wakes up. He fed Hayate and took another shower; he got dirty from his day in the park with Hayate. He kept thinking and cursing to himself. He hated himself since he didn't return his love to Riza.

Riza woke up when Roy was sound asleep. She felt so dizzy and found the water and capsules Roy left for her. She ate and took a shower; she was quite relieved now that she thinks that Roy knows she loves him. She just wished he would tell her the same, if he loved her as much. She got out and went out in a towel forgetting that she was in Roy's only bathroom, with a shower, in his room. Roy looked at her; he was sitting at his desk signing some papers that Riza would bring to his office tomorrow. Riza looked at him and just screamed and ran back to her room to get dressed. Roy was surprised and didn't know anyone was in there, so he just finished his papers and left it on the table with a note telling Riza that they were done and she wouldn't have anything to do that day so she could stay at home after dropping them off. Roy would never do that, but he did it for her. He wanted to talk to her the next morning, so he wanted all the papers sent to his house. He wasn't allowed to go to work until he was well anyways.

The next day Riza cooked breakfast after her morning shower. She got some tea ready for herself and coffee ready for Roy. She knew what he liked and which kind he liked so she got it done perfectly. He walked out after his shower and looked at Riza.

"Good morning, Riza." He told her.

"Oh, good morning Roy!" she replied happily.

(How can she act like nothing ever happened?) Roy thought. Riza brought out his breakfast and coffee and she brought out her breakfast and tea.

"Riza…" he said.

"Yes sir?" she replied

"I…love you too" they blushed and didn't say a word after that, she just finished her breakfast and left to drop off the papers. Roy was angry with himself; he thought that after he didn't return his feeling for her, she didn't love him anymore.
(Damn it, I can't do anything right! I just lost my love and now I probably can't do anything about it).
---
Two hours have passed and Roy was worried, he didn't know that

Then Riza walked back in and hugged Roy,

"I'm back, Roy" she whispered in his ear and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"I love you" she said sitting on his lap.

"I love you too. If I didn't why would you still be here?" Roy loved the way Riza acted when they were alone and he hoped it would last.
