A/N: Despite posting some Royai yesterday, I found out about Royai week just afterwards. Since I didn't know far enough in advance to write some longer stories, I decided that I would just contribute with a drabble collection with one drabble for each day/prompt. This one is for the prompt, 'Dreams'. I'll most likely be posting these mini additions once or twice a day everyday this week.

Enjoy!


Ever since Roy was a child, he had dreamt of his future. And not only in the metaphorical sense, but also in the literal one. His sleep was full of them.

First, they were little things, like wishing that the neighbors would one day invite him over to play. Eventually, as he grew, his ambitions grew. He wanted to master flame alchemy, he wanted to join the military and serve his country, he wanted to be promoted to a higher rank, and finally, he wanted to become the president, the most powerful person in all of Amestris.

But lately, his dreams had been evolving to include something, or rather, someone new.

Riza Hawkeye appeared in his dreams every so often. He figured that she was there to assist him in his journey, but then, why weren't all of his subordinates there too?

Eventually, she became a permanent addition to his nightly routine. Gradually, he realized that he actually preferred it this way. Now, he knew that there was no way that his dreams could come true if she wasn't with him.
