Chapter 14: Guns and Flames


(A/N- ok like I promised in the last chapter I'd summarize what happened for those who took the warning. if u read until the second warning. Wind basically trapped Roy into the green room then threw her self on him and had her own romance moment with him ;) after he broke loose from it he got him self out of the room and went on looking for Riza. It turns out that wind possessed Riza during the dance before, and also has Alchemic powers. That's basically it like I said in the previous chapter the rest of the chapters should be pretty much ok and rated t. sry if I scar anyone's eyes form reading the last chapter. Also I'd like to say probably around the end of this chapter I started to go OOC because I couldn't resist.)


Once leaving the green room Roy entered the main hall again. At the same time he was entering the main hall Havoc and the maid Sadie were also entering the hall.

"Oh, Sir, wow… you're a mess" Havoc said looking over at Roy.

-Pulse mark- "don't go there Havoc, did you find her?"

"Well you see about that…" Havoc started beating around the bush.

"Never mind I'll go find her my self, I assume you didn't go out side?" Roy said looking over at the maid.

"Well… umm…"

Roy rolled his eyes and headed for the door where he was about to go through in the beginning before Wind stopped him.

Stepping outside and feeling the cold chill on top of his heated skin his damp hair gave Roy a little more of a chill and he was getting worried on where Riza went, he looked down and saw her footprints. (Is she crazy? it's almost –20 out here?) Roy thought to himself and followed the footprints. The footprints went far finally he came across the prints turning around a few pine trees, there Roy finally found a Riza. The snow was falling just like on the night they arrived. Taking breath of relieve Roy walked up to Riza and placed his hands on her shoulders and quickly spun her around then wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. Pressing her against his chest he finally sighed in relief that he finally found her. The real her.

"Colonel?"

"Next time don't walk out on your commanding officer when I call for you." Roy said tightening his grip on Riza, refusing to let her see him. He felt much better that it was Riza in his arms not Wind. As his grip kept getting tighter he hoped that Riza would have forgotten why they were in a fight in the first place.

"You didn't care," Riza pushed herself away.

"Riza, "

"I know it sounds crazy, but she possessed my body."

"I believe you but what did wind say to you" Roy said watching Riza shivering.

"She told me that she was the one who called the Fuhrer. also how if I were to get close to you she will call him again"

"That's not what she said"

"I'll let you figure out who is lying and who is telling the truth because I had enough for today"

(That means… Shit...) Roy thought to himself. He knew that Wind would call the Fuhrer up now and Riza would be taken away even if they went together that night. The Fuhrer wouldn't believe any of the guys because Roy is a commanding officer. He could order them to stay quiet, there was no real proof that Riza was possessed. So there was no way to doge this.

"Damn it!" Roy yelled.

With this Riza looked over at Roy in concern.

"It can't be. There has to be a way around this!" Roy said in an angry yet low tone

Riza was confused and stood with her arms crossed. Roy turned around to look at Riza and realized how blue her lips were and how white her skin was. The snow was still falling and when he gazed upon Riza, to him, it made her look like a glass doll, Fragile to the touch. Roy walked up to Riza and took off his jacket. He carefully placed it around her arms then back away again.

"Sir?" Riza said softly.

In frustration Roy tried to stay calm and put his back to Riza then walked a few steps away form Riza with his fingers brushing through his black hair in an attempt not to make her worry. He needed proof that this was Riza and not wind. There was only one way to find out.

"Screw the Fuhrer" Roy said out loud in an act of rage and walked over to Riza.

Riza, who still had Roy's jacket draped over her shoulders, was confused on what Roy was upset about. Roy looked at Riza deeply her red fire eyes. He closed his eyes and sighed, with a step forward Roy grabbed the back of Riza's head and thrusted it up to his. Placing a heavy yet deep kiss on to her lips just as Wind did when she kissed him before. Roy was relieved that it was Riza's lips he was kissing. He didn't want anyone else's but hers. With this moment Roy knew that it was Riza and not wind also that he wanted Riza for him self and he didn't want to let that go. He finally had something to protect with everything he had. After a moment Roy quickly hesitated and broke up the kiss. Regretting every second of stopping it.

Roy put his back to Riza and walked a few steps away again "I'm Sorry, You didn't have to go through that Riza" Roy let out in a whisper.

" No…" Riza said while taking a deep breath in and walked closer to him so her head was resting on his back. "I wanted it to," Riza whispered. Riza rested her head at the base of Roy's neck and let her hands rest on his arms.

Roy had the look of concern on what he just did. She was already gone so why did this bother him?

"I can't let you go, but I don't know how to keep you if I can't show any kind of emotion to you. I'm not going to start pretending like your nothing"

"I know."

"No, you don't know" Roy said an angered voice while turning around and placing his head onto hers.

"Your already take away from me"

"What?" Riza looked up.

"Wind… lets say I've upset her and I didn't know she was the one calling the Fuhrer"

Riza looked away trying to hold back all emotions.

"Riza, Look at me"

Riza hesitated then looked at Roy with her red eyes starting to water.

"You won't leave. I'll be the one to"

"You cant. I can't run under…" Riza cut Roy off with desperation.

"Either way we're both going to have a new subordinate."

"There isn't a way for you to leave your team Sir, you hand picked them. They would feel back stabbed if you left. What did you do to Wind? "

With this question Roy went back to his old self and looked away from Riza. Riza placed her hands on his pale face and turned it to hers. With concern red eyes staring him down Roy tried to avoid them.

"Please, Roy"

Roy opened his eyes at Riza when he heard her call his name.

"Don't ask me Riza"

"I'm asking"

Roy put his hands on Riza's and pushed them down from where she placed them on his arms. Still holding on to them he'd hope that she wouldn't be able to get her gun to kill him after he was finished.

"After you ran off, I tried to go after you. Wind stopped me and we went to the green room" Roy was trying to keep it short as possible but was nervous on how he would tell Riza what Wind and Him done.

Roy kept stalling and she finally laced her fingers through his and continued to listen to him.

"She kissed me…" Roy looked away.

"That's it?" Riza said confused.

"No, its what 'we' did is the hard part to tell you " Roy closed his eyes and refused to look at Riza. Riza knew perfectly well on what he was getting at.

"I cant believe you Colonel" Riza said trying to let go of his hands.

"Please, me go Sir" Riza said trying to get away form him.

"I cant" Roy said still not looking at Riza.

He kept holding onto her hands because he didn't want to get her go. In an act of sad and rage on what he had done Roy quickly let go of Riza's hands and wrapped his arms around her shoulder blades and pulled her close. Riza tried to fight him off with a few blows in his ribs. He took them trying to hold in the pain that she was enforcing on him. She then finally started to hit softly till at last all she could do was stand there. She wrapped her arms around his back and dug her head into his shoulder. He could smell, hear and feel that Riza was crying.

"I'm sorry Riza,"

"I can't believe you, I knew you were a ladies man but… she is married!"

"Please Riza, you don't understand"

"I had enough, let me go" Riza tried to struggle out.

"No"

"Roy, Please!" Riza put her hands on his chest and tried to push herself away.

Roy refused to let her go and tightened his grip. With out them noticing Fury Falman and Havoc were watching from behind the trees.

"I cant believe he would do that to her" Fury whispered

I can't blame Riza for trying to get away from him, should we?" Havoc questioned.

"No, let them sort it out" Falman whispered

"I don't know look at her hand" Havoc said pointing out Riza's free hand

Riza reached down her thigh to pull out her FN Model 1910, finally got free she placed her gun at Roy's head. With her Right shaking tears started to flood her eyes, Roy's Eyes Narrowed and placed his arms to his side.

"I'd never think of holding a gun to your Head Sir, I had more Respect then point a gun at you." Riza said coldly.

"Gun's and Flame's" Roy realized he was still wearing his gloves and raised his hand up to the same height as Riza's arm.

"I can't believe you, I gave myself to you!" Riza started to squeeze the trigger a little more.

"Riza, that was a matter of life and death" Roy placed his middle finger onto of his thumb.

"Did any of that mean anything to you?" Riza questioned in a yell

Roy stood quiet.

"So, what will hit first. Your Bullet…"

"Or your Flames?" Riza finished off.

Roy looked down and away from Riza. He lowered his hand and took a step forward to the gun. Now having the barrel placed against his head. As he looked down with a look' just shoot', it stabbed through Riza's heart like a blade piercing her skin. Riza squeezed her eyes shut allowing 2 tears to fall.

"Go ahead First Lieutenant. I deserve it in your Books"

"Just walk away, were through here." Riza pressed the safety off to show she was being serious and didn't know why Roy would do an act like this.

"When she kissed me the first time, I could tell it wasn't you. When she forced me to be in that situation all I could think of is how the hell am I going to get back to you? You mean everything to me. If I didn't care, I would still be with her right now!" Roy called out to Riza.

Riza, Still with tears falling down quietly said. " You were my everything. I decided your not going to die at my hands." Riza pressed the safety back to on.

"I don't want to have anything do with you right now Colonel Mustang, as far as I know, Only fools fall in love" Riza dropped her gun in front of Roy. In the military when a soldier drops their gun in front of another soldier, it finalizes the war between two soldiers. Colonel and Lieutenant, it doesn't matter. Riza left the gun on the ground and took off the jacket Roy placed on her shoulders. Wiping a way tears form her eyes Riza started to head back to the mansion.

Roy stood in place for a moment looking at the gun in the snow. After he picked up his jacket he started to walk back to the house when he stopped between the trees and the path Riza took. He didn't look but he said out loud. "Have a good show boys?"

"Oh Sir, there you are umm Breda and me have some info to share with you about Wind!" Fury tried to cover them selves up as if they just got there.

"Tell me later, I'm not in the mood" Roy continued on his way.

"Serves you right to lose her. After what you did" Havoc stood up and said.

Roy stood quiet in place.

"She did everything for you and this is how you pay her back?"

"Incase you went death around the end I told her that…" Roy started then was cut off by Havoc again

"Yeah I herd it Sir. But I bet it killed her to hear that you slept with Wind when She was the very girl who tried to kill Riza this morning!"

"What?" Falman questioned.

"Yeah, Wind is the ghost we're chasing, the colonel found that out a while ago. She tried to kill Riza and Riza went Straight to you. You pushed her away before and she came back. Seriously sir, when will you grow up and see that she is your match?" Havoc said sounded more mature then usual.

Roy just continued on his way leaving the Dropped gun Riza left for him. Usually he would be shouting back at havoc for saying that, when Havoc is the one going from girl to girl. But right now Roy had no energy to do it, and felt too much like a good for nothing dog of the military that didn't deserve to be Fuhrer. After making it back into the Mansion, Roy just didn't care anymore he decided that he would drink away his sorrows. As he dowsed his way up the stairs he finally turned into the hall where his room way. Half way through there was a few girls who were giggling and checking Roy out as they walked pass. Roy couldn't care. He didn't acknowledge them just kept heading for his room. When he finally made it to his room he unlocked the door and light a few candles around his room with his flames. He then decided to pour him self one of the strongest drinks he had in the room. Planting himself on one of the chairs in the room and had the bottle in his hand and continued to drink away as he did when Maes died.
