Disclaimer: I own Fullmetal Alchemist. I enjoy putting Roy and Riza in extremely life threatening situations and making them miserable…Man I would give a limb if I could do that. Unfortunately I can only borrow them for a short while and give them a break.
A/N: Well this is going to be my first multi-chapter story so…yay for me! Sorry if anything is wrong or if Riza and Roy are ooc. Now here's my gift to you.
It's Strange
It's strange. I knew what I wanted and then I saw him in Ishbal. Suddenly my world was thrown upside down. I was confused and hurt. Eventually, things settled down, though.
He became a war hero and got assigned an office instead of adventure. He got to handpick his subordinates and suddenly I found myself under his command. Once again it took a while for things to quiet.
Then I found a rhythm; get up, get to work, threaten the Colonel, eat lunch, threaten the Colonel again, go home. I was relatively happy, I had a job and a home nothing to complain about.
And I learned more and more about him. He was a playboy- popular with all the ladies. Personally it disgusted me when the swooned over him but now that I'm used to it I can stop the gag reflex.
He was a war hero- great and terrible the mighty Flame Alchemist. He had medals all over his walls and an ego to match.
But he wasn't happy. I could see that every time I looked into his eyes. He harbored some sadness, maybe from the war, maybe some other personal tradgity. And it wasn't until one night he offered to walk me home that I knew his dreams.
He told me he wanted to become Furher to fix this corrupt government. I was in awe to say the least, the way he announced it to me, the way his eyes lit up… That's when I knew I would help and protect him no matter what.
And so we continued our routine, him barely getting anything done at all and me watching out for him. Then Fullmetal came, a little blond alchemist.
I was extremely surprised that he passed the test to become a state alchemist. Nevertheless he did and Edward Elric joined our group, bringing along his brother in a suit of armor. They were and still are searching for the Philosopher's Stone, a myth to most. It's their hope and the reason Ed joined the military. I admire them, they have the courage to chase their dreams and make them reality.
Ed is like the Colonel in some ways, too. They're both smart and reckless. Both are headstrong and foolish at times.
It's strange when I think about it. But when I do I realize that for all his negative qualities I have fallen completely head-over-heels in love with Colonel Roy Mustang.
