How It all Began
Chapter 9
Riza whispered into her pillow as Roy laughed his way up the marble steps. He walked into her room and had to bite hard down on the inside of his cheek to stop himself from laughing at the girl.
"Shut up!" she whined. He smiled. "Come on lets get you tucked in" He said and pulled the blankets back so she could climb in. She walked over to the bathroom and pulled her hair up into a sloppy bun so she could wash her face.
"So Roy, do you miss your family?" She asked from the bathroom. He appeared in the doorway. "Some days. But Im eighteen, I would have been moving out soon anyway. And truth be told…I wouldn't rather be anywhere else. I get to learn what I've always wanted to from a master, I get to live in a gorgeous house, with maids, and personal cooks, and everyday I get to watch over a beautiful girl." He said happily. "This is the life my love" he teased.
She only rolled her eyes as she continued to wash her face.
"I'm sorry about my father," She sighed. He smirked "Yeah, what's giving him these ideas anyway?" He asked.
"Probably the maids, they giggle and gossip about any boy who enters my room" She sighed then added "Im pretty sure one is paid to dish out every information she can get on my relationships"
Roy laughed and moved behind her, he let her hair loose as she padded her face dry with a cloth. She stared at him in the mirror as he stood behind her and ran his fingers threw her hair.
He smiled. "So soft. You should wear your hair down more often" he suggested as he picked up a brush and began to comb it threw her hair; gently working out any tangles he came across.
"You…you think so?" She asked, she suddenly felt like it was 100 degrees in her bathroom. He glanced at the mirror smiling as she stared blankly down at the counter top, her hands laced together in front of her and her cheeks tinted pink.
"Ohh yeah," he said his hands sliding down and placing the brush on the counter. He set his hands on her hips and gripped her baggy pajama pants. His other hand came to her side and clutched her tank top in his hand. "To that think in two days, you could wear it down, cascading over a backless black halter, with a slid down the side to reveal your left leg…hmmm…that would look gorgeous on you." He smirked as he made sure to let his warm breath on the back of her neck as he 'hmmed'.
She shivered. "Yes, if only I wore backless outfits" She muttered. That wasn't the comment he expected. He raised an eyebrow and looked down at her tank top, it covered her back fully, and had thick two-inch straps to it. Apparently she doesn't wear backless outfits not even a little bit.
"Why don't you?" He asked and she sighed and put on a fake smile.
"It's not for people to see," She simply said. "Your back?" He repeated raising an eyebrow in confusion. He followed her from the bathroom and into her room again.
"I understand not wearing V necks and short cut dresses, but not showing your back at all? Not even a little bit?" He asked as she turned off the water. "Nope, not until my father finds someone he can trust with it" she said. If possible his eyebrow rose even higher in even greater confusion.
"Whaa?" He asked. She sighed. "Never mind Roy, I'm not that tired so I'm going to read for a bit okay" She said as she wiped her hands on the towel. She stepped forward and squeaked tripping over the one on the floor and falling forward. Roy sprinted forward, but the force of the fall caused him to fall back as well.
A loud thud resounded from the room, and Riza feared opening her eyes. She could feel his arms protectively around her waist, and his chest rise and fall with every breath underneath hers. Gathering the courage to open her left eye, she stared down into his dark orbs. There were seconds of silence until he chuckled and pressed his forehead against hers.
"You're such a klutz," He laughed. Her face puckered and she smacked him in the shoulder lightly. "I just tripped!" She whined. "Klutz" he taunted.
Her face puckered once again and he laughed. "You look like a five year old who didn't get her way," He laughed. She faked hurt and sat up on his hips holding her hand to her chest.
He smirked. "Ohh did I hurt your feelings?" He asked in a baby voice. She turned her head, and placed her hands on her hips stubbornly. He smirked. "Ohh I get it," he said as he reached up and attacked her ribs. She squeaked and tried to grab his wrists to stop him. Her thighs tightened around his hips as she pulled backwards laughing.
'Man she's got some strong thighs, that can be very useful…No! Okay I've got to keep this clean…think of something not sexy… Ohh my god her butt just rubbed against Roy Jr. alright I've got to move her before her wiggling sends me over the edge' he thought, and flipped them. She laughed as she was now pined underneath him, her legs still wrapped and crossed at the ankle around his hips.
He tickled her, his hands found there way underneath her shirt, and were just below the swell of her chest. She huffed and as his hand traveled closer, she began to raise her knee between his legs.
Eye's widening, he slid his hand back down and held them up as a peace offering. She smirked and shook her head as she lifted her leg faster. He instinctually slid down onto her hips, her now propped up knee resting against her back.
"Ohh she wants to play dirty hu!" He gasped then smirked. "Alright with me" he added in a perverted voice. She squeaked and twisted underneath him, clawing on the wooden floor to escape. He chuckled. "Ahh ahh little girl, you aren't pulling that and getting away unpunished." He said as he set his hand on her shoulder blades, pinning her to the floor.
She squeaked in laughter struggling to no avail to get free. "So what? You're going to discipline me now?" She asked in a low purr. He smirked and looked her over. She was trapped underneath him, her chest pressed against the wooden floor, her back to him, her bottom up and wiggling, he was in heaven. He sighed, deciding to taunt her a little bit more.
"Why not, I am in charge of you you know… I'm here to make sure you don't be naughty." He whispered sexily into her ear as he leaned down, his chest against her back. "Well then, I guess you have your work cut out for you" she muttered and twisted around, his hand going from her back to her chest. He was caught off guard at the change from her flat back, to her supple chest, and became dazed as she forcefully rolled him, so once again he was pinned to the floor.
"Who's on top now?" She teased. His scenes returning to him, he smirked, and it came out before he could stop himself "You like it on top babe?"
As soon as the words left his mouth he cursed himself, here he was playfully wrestling with a girl who had been raped and probably hated men; …but on the other hand, she wasn't fighting against this too productively. She blushed "Depends, are you man enough to be under a woman?" She asked.
He raised an eyebrow. "I'm looking forward to the experience" he smirked. She blushed as her attempt to out whit him in their little game backfired.
She opened her mouth to say something when the door opened. They whipped their heads to the side as a maid gasped and looked at the floor away from them. "I'm so sorry, Miss Hawkeye, Excuse me for interrupting but your father wishes to speak with you and Mr. Mustang." She said blushing at the floor. Riza immediately jumped off of him and nodded. "Thank you Yuki. Tell him we'll be down in a moment." She said. The maid bowed and glanced at Roy, still lying on the the floor with a depressed look on his face.

Riza stood in her fathers room next to Roy. They watched him pack as he ranted on and on about the idiots back in the eastern division.
"I'm sorry kids, I left the eastern head quarters and apparently that caused everyone's IQ's to drop ten points, I should be back sometime later this week. The maid's will have the time off since I'm really the only messy one around here, but the cook will be staying here just to make sure you to eat and are situated. I'm really sorry about this." He said.
"It's fine, we'll manage." Riza said. "I'm glad, while I talk to Roy why don't you get ready for bed." He suggested.
"Alright, see you soon father" she said and smiled as he kissed her cheek and watched her leave. Roy stood alone now, waiting for him to say something.
"So, you'll be okay with just Riza for a week or so right?" He asked. Roy nodded. "Yes of course sir, Riza and I have gotten to bond. I'm hoping she trusts me more now" He said.
"Well I'm sure she does if she's wrestling with you and rolling around the floor." He said. Roy stood silent,
'the maid told him'.
The man laughed at his shocked and scared face. "It's alright boy, the maid came back to me flushed and giggling as Im sure Riza's told you the maids gossip." He said as he closed his suitcase and zipped it.
"You're not upset sir?" He asked causously.
He lifted it from the bed and stood straight and still as though he were thinking it over. "No, but if you hurt her, you're dead." He said as he walked to the doorway. Roy immediately followed.
"I will not hurt your daughter. She's already been threw enough trauma." He said harshly as if offended by the implication that he might.
He stopped, and turned to face the young adult whose face was serious and stern. He chuckled. "I certainly hope not son, take care of her when I'm gone, and keep an eye on her, she may seem well behaved but you never know what days she'll decided to rebel. We'll continue to train when I return." He said and ruffled Roy's hair before walking down the stairs.

Roy leaned against the doorframe as he watched her. She was lying in bed, the soft warm blanket pulled up to her chest as she propped up her head and was reading a book. The bedside lamp shown a golden yellow against her, illuminating her face and book in the darkness.
She suddenly felt someone staring at her, and lifted her head.
She smiled as she saw him. "Hey how was your talk with dad?" She asked.
He just nodded his head as he stared down at the floor ahead of him.
"Does your father leave like that a lot?" He asked. She shrugged. "Some times, once he was transformed to the east and he was gone for a couple months.
"And you stayed here?" He asked looking shocked. "Well yeah, I had school, I didn't want to leave my friends, my boyfriend." She muttered. "Who looked after you?" He asked. "What do you mean?" She asked.
He narrowed his eyes. "Who took care of you, who was here to make sure you weren't sick, or sad, to be with you?" he asked.
"Well My grandfather came over some days, but that's about it" she muttered. Roy stayed quiet, gently shaking his head at the floor.
"What?" she asked. "I just can't imagine that, I would never leave my kid to take care of herself. My parents never left for a months time" he answered.
"Yeah well your parents weren't part of the military" she replied in a low murmur and went back to her book. He sighed and walked slowly to the bed.
"When I get into the military, and when I have children, I'm not going to leave them. I'm going to be home every night to kiss them goodnight and make sure their safely tucked in bed. and kiss my wife hello after along days work" he smirked closing his eyes at the picture.
"And who says she wont work to?" Riza asked. He opened his eyes and stared at her. "My kids will not be raised by a nanny," he said sternly. "Just because you are a man doesn't mean you get to take away your wife's right to work" she argued. "Well what you want to work even when you have children?" He asked. "Me! Hold the phone, I'm not having your children!" She squeaked. His once serious face turned teasing as he saw her reaction.
"Ahh why not! You'll certainly get all the perks," he said proudly. "Why not? Because any woman would be damned if she brought another Roy Mustang to this world, and what perks?" She half yelled.
"You know you want me," he said in a low voice as she continued bantering.
"What perks?" She echoed choosing to ignore his comment. "Hu? What do you have that could possibly want your wife to consider her the luckiest person in the world? Hu?" She asked.
"Well there's the fact that you would never not be satisfied." He began. She rolled her eyes. "Don't roll your eyes, I happen to know that any girlfriend I have had has never left unfulfilled. I keep my sex life alive. I would come home, kiss you, send the kids outside to play and take you in the kitchen, how does that sound? Hu?" He said and nodded his head, very proud of himself.
"Nice to know your wife will be satisfied in various rooms in your home," She grumbled. "I think so. Marriages need spice, there are so many people who don't even sleep in the same room as their spouses anymore, its sad." He said. Rolling her eyes again, she laughed as she set her book down on the bedside table.
"Oh not to mention you would be known as the lucky girl married to fuehrer Roy Mustang." He added. "Fuehrer hu…" she asked with a raised eyebrow. "That's right I'm going to make my way up to the top, it's the only thing for me to do," He said.
"Hmm, well I completely support you" she said. He smiled "Just not enough to want to be the lucky woman who marries me" he teased. "I don't think I could stand you as a husband" she teased right back.
He faked hurt, but she only laughed and swatted his chest. He smirked then something hit him. He looked down, then back up at her with a questioning look.
"Do you think you could stand me as a boy friend?" He asked. She turned to face him slowly. "Depends," she muttered after a while. He raised an eyebrow. "On what?" He asked.
She smirked. "On weather you can make putting up with all the rest of your crap worth it" she said and quirked an eyebrow.
Smirking he leaned forward, his lips barely inches from hers as he muttered, "ohh, Ill make it worth it all right" he muttered against her lips. She smirked and leaned forward, closing the gap between them, and pressing her lips against his. He kept the kiss as chaste as she began, but as she began to press into him, he set his hand on her neck, and began to kiss deeper.
She moaned, he pushed her back so she was lying against the pillow again. He slid closer to her, his lips never leaving hers. She bent her leg and wrapped it around his, one of his hands sliding down her side and settling down on her bottom where it stayed, rubbing, and groping.
She moaned as he ran his tongue over her bottom lip, casually nipping and sucking on it. His free hand traveled down her side, and gently rubbed his thumb against the side of her breast. She opened her mouth in shock, giving him the room to sneak his tongue inside. She smirked nipping at it.
Pulling back he stared down at her, "feisty" he muttered.
She smirked. "So, well worth it hu?" He asked. She shrugged. "Ahh, I don't know," she taunted. He raised an eyebrow. "Oh really" he said narrowing his eyes at her. "Well then, I guess Ill just have to convince you"

Roy sighed as he lay in bed reading a book Riza's father had given him to study. He had left Riza's room hours ago, after a kiss goodnight, and a swat to her bottom for playing dirty earlier and almost kneeing him between the legs. He's got to protect all his future children after all.
He sighed as he forced himself to focus on the words in the book other than his reminisces of her soft kisses and rock hard ass. He sighed. "I'm in trouble," he murmured, his eyes closing as he rested against his pillow.
He heard the door slid open, and opened his eyes to see Riza's standing in the doorway. "Hey you, why aren't you asleep?" He asked.
She looked at him longingly. "Can't sleep," she muttered. He stared at her for a moment, and then motioned with his head for her to come stay with him. She did happily, bouncing to his bed and sliding underneath the covers.
"What are you reading?" she asked as she pressed herself against his side. "Your father told me to read this and the next issue." He said, not taking his eyes from the book. She sighed. "Oh" she tangled her leg between his, pressing she against his side.
He took a deep breath, looked from the ceiling to the book and back before he closed it and tossed it on the bedside table.
"Why'd you stop?" She asked looking up at him. "Because I have to concentrate, and I can't concentrate with you lying next to me" he said and wrapped an arm around her waist. "I'm sorry, do you want me to go?" she asked. He shook his head. "You think I'd rather be reading an alchemy book then entertaining a beautiful woman next to me?" He asked as if it were the stupidest question in the world.
She smiled and kissed him. He kissed back then reached over and turned out the light. "I thought we were going to talk or something." She muttered. "You need sleep you're sick" he said. "I'm getting better, now that I have you throwing the medication down my throat" she grumbled.
"That's the only bad thing about always having someone home to care for you, you get caught, punished, and you always end up taking your medicine," he laughed. "Im guessing that's you from now on?" she asked.
He rubbed her arm and smiled at the ceiling. "Pretty much." He sighed. She rolled her eyes. He smirked and turned towards her. "But hey, there are also a lot of perks about having someone to depend on, someone with you." He said as he stared into her hazel eyes, She turned to face him and smiled. He leaned forward, pressing his lips against hers. He pulled away, only far enough to say "Well there's that" he began and she interrupted him with a kiss, then "that's all I need" He smiled and kissed her lovingly.
She kissed back, and then set her head on his shoulder. He brushed his fingers threw her blonde locks as she fell asleep next to him.
