The Engagement

She is surprised. Flabbergasted. Dumfounded. She didn't expect him to do what he did. Propose to her. Especially after a romantic evening of a dinner at his house and a short walk with Black Hayate in the park.

She blinks. Her vocal cords won't work; her mouth won't form words.

In his extended hand is a ring placed daintily in a black ring box. It's beautiful. A simple white gold band with a small diamond flanked by two equally small blue sapphires shimmered in the moonlight of the bedroom.

"Riza?" Roy asks hesitantly.

"Roy… you know we can't – can't get married. What if the military finds out?" She somehow manages to find her voice.

"Damn the military," Roy states angrily, "Riza I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Roy urges.

"Is it that you don't want to marry me? Because if it is it's ok. As long as you're happy." Roy spills.

Riza throws her hands up in defense.

"NO! No Roy, it's not that I don't want to marry you; in all honesty I would love to, it's just… the military…" she trails off.

"But you do want to marry me?" Roy asks somewhat cautiously. Riza smiles and cuddles up towards his toned body. Nodding in answer to his question, she pecks his lips lightly and whispers in his ear, "Yes."

He can't help but smile to the ceiling as Riza buries her face into his neck. He wraps his arms around her as she is draped half on half off of him. Her hair is drenched in moonlight from the window behind her and she looks like a heavenly being. He notices a ring is formed around her head and an idea pops into his head.

Roy takes the ring from its case.

"Riza, let me see your military tags." Riza lifts her head and looks at him funny.

"Why?" she asks.

"Because." Is only his answer. Compliantly, Riza unhooks her tags from her neck and hands him the necklace.

Slipping the engagement ring onto the collar he replaces it around her neck. She leans back to admire it.

"So you'll always have it with you." Roy merely shrugs.

"Thank you." Riza smiles and kisses him again. He loops his arms around her holding her tight to his body.

"You're welcome." He whispers to her hair.

A/N: Well what did ya'll think? There will be a sequel to this. I had thought about combining the two but it just didn't seem right. I've been such a horrible writer and forgot to thank everyone for reviewing or at least reading this fic. I know I've told some of you on individual basis but I wanted to make it clear to EVERYONE that I REALLY appreciate your reviews. Thank you everyone!
