Riza focused hard on the target attempting to distract herself from the many thoughts running through her head. She felt strong arms wrap around her waist and she looked back into Al's golden brown eyes. His body pressed up against her making her blush even though they had been seeing each other in secret for a very long time. He brushed strands of her golden blond hair away from her shoulder letting his lips press against the sensitive flesh on her neck. "You're so tense" he whispered moving his hands up to the arm which held the gun.
"You're not helping my concentration" Riza reminded him. He began rubbing her back intent on comforting her. "I love you" Riza whispered before his mouth captured hers in a passionate kiss. Riza placed the gun on the table wrapping her arms around Al. Winry focused hard on the machinery her tongue running over her smooth lips nervously as she tightened one of the bolts. Havoc remained near trying to be of any help "I've done it!!" Winry exclaimed her eyes taking on that starry psychopath look she made a victory sign.
Meanwhile behind her the machine goes up in flames and Havoc is seen running back and forth screaming and flailing his arms. "ROCKBELL!!" Roy Shouted. Winry instantly straightened up when Roy approached. Havoc who had finally put himself out and returned to his original spot "SIR!!" Winry shouted saluting Roy and releasing the wrench she had been holding. The said object sailed through the air finally connecting with Havoc's head. Roy's right eye began to twitch and a huge sweat-drop formed on the side of his head. "Winry..." Roy began stopping mid sentence and brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
Winry blushed at the sudden touch she had just received. Roy leaned forward and Winry blushed even more as his head moved closer to her own. "Your machine is on fire" Roy told her. Winry blinked a couple of times before realization dawned upon her "OH MY GOD!!" Winry shrieked running back and forth in panic. Roy helped Havoc up a worried expression on his face. Havoc coughed black smoke seeping out of his mouth "are you ok?" Roy asked "what a woman" Havoc told him before falling over leaving Roy to sigh in exasperation.
Later that day Roy sat in his office gently tapping his fingers on the desk since he was now Fuhrer he had less time to spend with his comrades it was extremely lonely. Riza took a deep breathe before entering Roy's office. Roy Instantly straightened up pretending to do something Important "what is it Hawkeye?" Roy asked. Riza took a seat on the other side of the desk. "I need to take a leave of maternity" Riza told him. Roy looked up into her eyes. "Who is the father?" Roy asked. "How is that relevant to my request for time off?" Riza asked coldly. Roy and Riza stared at each other for awhile before Roy finally broke the silence between them "take as much time as you need" Roy replied reaching for the nearest folder.
" Thinking about Winry does not count as paper work" Riza told him on the way out. "Damn!!" Roy shouted wondering if his feelings were that obvious. Riza stepped out of the office brushing away the long strands of hair. she tried to repress the pain but it all surfaced. Riza fell to her knees clutching the fabric of her uniform. Tears ran down her cheeks and shattering into multiple drops as they hit her hand. Riza looked up to the sky "don't you feel anything for me at all?" Riza wondered.
Roy kneeled down beside Riza gently touching her shoulder "Riza? he asked softly. Riza wiped away her tears as quickly as she could. Roy pulled her into his embrace holding her tight while she cried. "You know I'll always be here when you need me" Roy whispered. Winry Finished up and headed towards her room to get ready for the farewell party.
She walked as slowly as she could hating every step that brought her closer to her room. Roy and Riza parted from the hug and instantly Roy noticed Winry watching them. "Is there something you need Rockbell?" Roy asked coldly. "No sir" Winry whispered running off and taking the steps two by two she didn't understand why she was upset she had Ed after all and he was remarkable in her eyes. Roy passed by the people in the overcrowded area eager to escape Armstrong and his stories of his family line he joined one of the groups of people eagerly talking.
Winry's long golden hair was curled and two white roses took place in the mass of curls perfectly. She was wearing a spaghetti strapped short sky blue dress and white Sandals. Winry looked up at the sky at the colorful varieties of light before her attention turned to Roy who watched her intently. Roy smirked keeping his cool while in truth his heart was beating what seemed like a thousand miles a minute this was one of the memories he would cherish forever.Winry took Ed's hand leading him onto the dance floor.
Ed pulled Winry close while they danced every movement, every touch was like fire... Passionate and meaningful. Roy watched her every movement the way she laughed and the light in her eyes it angered yet intrigued him. Ed twirled her then dipped her.
Winry looked up at him smiling he pulled her up and they separated. Roy approached her gently clearing his throat. Winry looked back at him rather coldly "May I?" Roy asked. Winry looked at Ed as if getting permission and Ed nodded. A much slower paced song began as the couple began to waltz. Both trying to keep a fair distance away from the other
"If you hurt Al I will kill you" Winry whispered to him. "Jealous Winry?" Roy asked pulling her closer to him. "I hate to burst your bubble but I would rather die first" Winry told him. "Don't deny your feelings" Roy whispered. "I'm not the one pursuing a taken woman" Winry growled "and I'm not the one who almost blew up half of central today" Roy replied. Winry pulled away from him and began to walk away but he pulled her back into his arms. they both glared at each other while they finished dancing.
