Hello!

A really short one-shot, written back in 2015. It takes place at the end of the fight against Lust.

I hope you'll like it, and I've got more to come! Just wait for me to translate it!

Enjoy!


Relief


«You have to get a doctor… for Havoc too," Roy said with pain in the voice.

The wound on his left side was too painful for him to speak clearly. Alphonse said he would go and asked Riza to take care of the Colonel. Then, he left the vast room where Lust had been killed. Roy's head turned to Riza, whose tears were still flowing on her cheeks. He rose a hand and swept the tears away from her face. Riza gripped his hand. She didn't want to see the man she loved for so long be gone, she didn't want him to die. "I couldn't live without you", she whispered, in a low voice, too low for him to hear.

"I'm glad you're alive. I'm glad to see you well", Roy said in a breath. "I don't want anything to happen to you. I wouldn't bear it."

"I told you to think about you first!" She managed to say despite her tears. "My condition will…"

She couldn't finish her sentence. Roy had risen a bit with his right arm, and with his left one on her cheek, he pulled her to him and kissed her. The kiss was light at first, then became more passionate. Her lips tasted like salt, because of her tears. But when they parted, she was smiling. She feared for her superior's health, but somehow, she was happy. A heavy weight had been lifted from her heart.

"It wasn't only to shut you up", the flame alchemist declared. "But it's what I feel for you. It's only a small part of all the things I would like to do with you, to share with you, since the day you came in my office that day. This was the day I acknowledged my feelings for you. This kiss is the only thing I can do at the moment."

"You'll have to wait to be well to do it, my Colonel", Riza replied, possessively. "You will have to wait some time for the rest but be assured I'll work beside you to make it happen."

When Al came back in the room, he said that help was on its way to here and had already taken care of Havoc. Then, he saw the officers as he had left them; one on the floor, the other kneeling beside him. However, there was something more. Her hand was in his, and they were looking at each other tenderly, like nothing else mattered. Something had happened between them, he knew. Smiling to himself, Al decided to keep it secret until it wouldn't be anymore.
