How it all Began

Chapter 4

Roy gently knocked on the door as he cracked it open. Riza was sitting in her bed reading a book. He smiled as he shut the door behind him. "Leave it open" She demanded not looking away from her book.

"Of course" he muttered opening the door all the way. He walked around her bed and into the open door on the other side of the room. He glanced around her bathroom looking for her medicine. He opened each carbonate until he finally found the bottle. He opened it and shook two into his hand before filling a glass with water.

He walked back into her bedroom and turned to her bed. He sat down on the side next to her and handed her the pills. She looked them over then took the glass from his hand. "It must be amazing to live here," he muttered looking around her extravagant room. She snorted.

He looked back to her as she put the glass back on the table. "If you like having maids fretting over every little thing about you. Entering your room at any moment they want, going threw your things while they clean, thinking you've been kidnapped when you step a foot outside without telling them, trying to help you get dressed even" she grumbled.

"What's the matter of letting someone take care of you?" he asked. "I can take care of myself, it just gets annoying, feeling trapped behind these large gates..." she muttered looking out her window from her position on the bed. "Well you seem to get out anyway don't you? I heard you got this sick from being locked out in the rain" he smirked.

Riza rolled her eyes. "I went to see my boyfriend...well my ex boyfriend now but...anyway, we met in a field near by. When I returned they had already turned on the alarm and the rain made it so I couldn't climb up the gutter I slid down to get out..." She muttered.

"Well what about the dogs? Part of your security is dogs on the premises at night isn't it?" He asked. "Well yeah but...they recognized me so they didn't bark." She muttered. Roy sighed. "So you two broke up then?" He asked. She nodded "We just…weren't right…" she muttered then looked to his face.

"So what about you?" She asked. He raised an eyebrow. "Me?"

"Well it would suck to leave a girlfriend behind while you live here and train" she muttered. He nodded. "Naw, I didn't have anyone like that,…" he muttered. She stared at him and he sighed giving in. "Alright I didn't have any one person" he muttered. She smiled. "I knew it," she muttered.

"You did did you" He smirked. She nodded with a smirk of her own.

"That's right, because when you're eighteen, don't have maids tracking your every move, you can have a real relationship." She muttered setting her head down into the feather pillow.

"What makes my multiple flings any less of a relationship than yours and whatever his name way?" he asked. She sighed. "We weren't intimate at all. When we went out I had a man on me the entire time because my father was scared of some letter he had received about kidnapping me or something like that…anyway even when we were alone we didn't act like we were dating" she muttered.

"Well, that's not how a boyfriend should act." Roy began in a suave voice. He inwardly screamed at himself to stop. He knew himself way to well. Next he would lean down and show her how a boyfriend would act. But this wasn't just another one of his flings. This was a girl he was supposed to be gaining the trust of.

She sighed. "Nope, But unfortunately with my life you don't get much free time for boyfriends." She muttered. "I can't imagine that…" he muttered. "It's not to bad I mean I was with him for a year and we're good friends, just not boyfriend girlfriend material" she added.

Roy moved to say something but there was a knock on her bedroom door. They turned their heads and saw a group of women pulling a rack of dresses and tuxes. Riza sighed and moved to sit up. "Do you really have to do this now? You're sick" Roy muttered.

"The banquet is in two days, you both must be perfect," Said a man as he walked threw the door. Riza smiled. "Hey Joe!" She said happily. Roy looked the man over. He looked to be in his early twenties, with long brown hair that fell into his dark eyes, he wore a tight black t-shirt and Jeans with rips and tares.

"Riz, Darling!" He said in a high-pitched voice. Roy closed one eye as the pitch assaulted his ears. It was definite, He was her gay stylist. Riza climbed out of bed much to the disappointment of Roy, and hugged Joe.

"And who is this beautiful boy?" He asked. Riza laughed. "This is Roy Mustang, he's going to be an amazing alchemist!" She promoted. Roy stood and took a deep breath as before he knew it Joe was measuring him around the chest and waist with a white measuring tape.

"Gorgeous. So you must be the new apprentice! What kind of alchemy do you study?" He asked." All my alchemy has to do with fire," he said and Joe smirked. "Well, it's defiantly getting hot in here" He giggled then in a flash he spun and was pulling dresses off the rack then pushing Riza inside her closet. He then turned and smirked, leaning into Roy. "You can dress out here…" He whispered svavely. Roy leaned back and gulped. "Riza! Hurry in there!" He called before glancing back to Joe's mischievous smile.
