Since before the great Ishval war, two soldiers have never been so close as commanding officer and subordinate, Co. Roy Mustang and Lt. Riza Hawkeye...
--- She's A Cowboy -
It was a hundred and seven, we were heading to town; She had her sleeves rolled up and the windows rolled down: Ooh, that girl is a cowboy. At age fifteen and seventeen, two kids walked the streets of Central City from a night of ice skating with their high school. Neither had dates for the school event so they took each other. Laughing at all the times he fell, they continued to make their long way home. She smiled as she friendly bumped into him to knock him off his balance. He caught his balance and pulled her down next to him as they rolled in a snow banks. Adults walked by and shook their heads at the children. But they would never know how wrong they were about the relationship between the two. Robert Earl was singing out the "Buckin' Song," With every word that keen was bringing, she was singing along: Ooh, that girl is a cowboy. Those same two children grew up and remained by each other's sides through training and military. One long cold night in the middle of a desert, the boy now a man sat peeking out of his tent into the clear desert night sky while beside him was the girl now turned woman cleaning a gun. Silence filled the air as the two remained quite listening to the night. The seriousness of the situation was very tense you could slice it with a knife. But still, the boy found a way to make her smile. Using a stick, he drew in the sand a game board and there they played tic-tac-toe until dawn. An' sometimes the best cowboys ain't cowboys at all. She's got my back even when it's against the wall. When I need a friend, well, she's the guy I call: 'Cause sometimes the best cowboys ain't cowboys at all. After the harder times were though, dreams and ambitions came forth. He wanted to rule, to lead and take control. She wanted him to do this and she helped him achieve even more. The day of the announcement he waited patently in his office pacing the floor. She watched from a corner as he bore a rut into the carpet. Smiling, she tossed a wad of paper at the back of his head, only to have it burst into flames. Tossing another and another until it began a game to see how many he could ignite at once. The stress was long gone. So I took her out to show her how to rope and ride; I can't believe that is was me that wound up broke an' tied: Ooh, that girl is a cowboy. After hard times and troubles, they still pulled through; now older and wiser. That boy named Mustang was due to be married in just a day. With little time left for preparations, he made sure he had his best man by his side. Some found it strange that the best man was a girl, but she was the only one he could see giving him friendly advice. Just years down the road, that girl named Hawkeye was married in a small town chapel. Formalities and traditions remained the same as the best man of her happy day kissed her check for luck. He would always be by her side and she would always have his back. Nothing could change that. So that night, well, I decided we should paint the town. I made it home although I really don't remember how: Ooh, that girl is a cowboy. And thats the way it will always be... Friend forever! 'Cause there's just something that a cowgirl has, Ain't no cowboys got.
Man, she's something when she's one of the boys, But something else anytime she's not.
A/N - I go this idea from my current situation with a boy I've known since high school. We're close, but not boyfriend-girlfriend (or at least not yet) I know he likes me and I him, but I'm just not sure how much we like each other since I don't think he knows I like him. But I digress... And yes my loyal readers... I went against my own belief of Royai love and made a Royai non-romance. Forgive me?
A/N - My FMA songfictions were all deleted off-line by FFN due to the fact that one had the lyrics completely typed out at the bottom of the fiction.
Please review. No FLAMES (Thats Roy's job only). Please look in my profile for all my other stories and updates. And again, thanks for reading.
