Chapter 3: Dreams

Roy was having a great time he was sleeping till late and was covered with quilts, when some crazy people was out there freezing he was so happy. He started thinking:

What was Riza thinking while calling my name in her sleep? Sure she was having dreams with me. But since when? And most of all… Why?

Roy kept with his thoughts until certain puppy was pulling the quilts in sign to take him out of bed.

Roy was certainly not very interested in coming out of bed, since out there was cold but he any ways had to because he was getting hungry.

He made his way to the kitchen and opened the door of the fridge. He served himself some waffles and gave Hayate the half of one.

As he ate with his look lost in nothing but a wall, he was really thinking of what had happened this morning.

Havoc came that morning out of the office and asked for the colonel she said he was sick, he just made a good-luck look as he left to were ever he was heading.

She just frowned in ´why? way, and entered the office. Almost immediately she understood Havoc's look, when she saw the mounds of paper work on Roy's desk.She just entered and started with her small non accumulated mound of paperwork and then started with Roy's.

After almost eight hours or so she gave up the colonels work .

He must be feeling better, hes going to make his own paperwork this time. She though as she left.

When she got to the apartment she opened her door, and Roy immediately turned to her, she had been there a bit early, not too much. Like half an hour.

She closed the door behind her as she took of her jacket;. Roy followed her process of making herself comfortable with his eyes; since he was playing with Hayate when she entered the door. He followed her with his gaze while he kept Hayates paws on his hands. Hayate was staring too, when she stopped herself in front of a couch and threw herself with no energy left. She looked back at them; they both popped their eyebrow up in strangeness.

"What's wrong? "He asked. Leaving Hayate to play alone.

"It's nothing. Ill prepare supper" she answered by making herself useful.

Roy helped out with the rest like putting the table and drying the dishes.

After dinner they made themselves comfortable in the couch in front of the fire, with a pair of hot tea mugs.

They looked at the fire and said nothing.

Suddenly Roy felt her head drop on his shoulder, he didn't really matter she might have been tired after a long day of work.

After a few moments she started talking in her sleep again.

"Roy … don't leave me…"

Roy looked down at her. She looked so sweet with nothing but the light of the fire illuminating her face. She suddenly woke up when she felt Hayate pulling her pants, she immediately lifted her head from his shoulder, and looked down. But as she felt his stare, she lifted her sigh, just to see the nicest smile heed ever given her, she lowered her head again.

But she felt his finger gently on her shoulder, and she lifted her gaze to his.

"Riza…? "He said.

"Yes?"She answered. Still a bit red.

"What where you dreaming with?" He asked

She immediately blushed too and looked down again.

"Why do you ask?" She said curiosly

"Well... Umm…?"

"You were...umm... well… talking, in your sleep "

Riza had an astonished look, while Roy looked like he really wanted to know. She then looked down and blushed a bit more.

"Well… um … What was I saying?" She asked. Not turning to see him.

"Ahh yes… umm …that… well…you were… calling my name? Asking me not too leave you?"

"Really?" she knew what she was dreaming with but she didn't want to tell him.

Flashback

"Roy? … Were are you? " She asked.

She was dusty and her face was bloody over her forehead and her arm had a hole in it.

"Roy !" as she saw Roys body in the floor. She ran to him to see the Homonculi had been exterminated but Roy was injured too.Very injured.

She knelt beside him and put his head over her lap. He was terribly wounded but he was alive.He opened his eyes to see another pair of amber ones.

"Hey… How are you?"

"You ask me? Look at you"

" Hey there might be some broken ribs but that's not enough to kill the flame alchemist" He said chukling a bit, but it hurted to much so he stopped.

"You shouldn't move at all you know"

"You know what?"

"What?"

"I ...love You Riza" He said as he smiled.She smiled back

"And guess what?"

"What?"

"I love you too Roy" As she leaned down to kiss him.

End of Flashback

"What?" He had been asking like 15 minutes ago.

Riza came out of her trance.

"What were you dreaming with?"

"It's alright if you don't want to tell me"

"Really?" she asked.

He thought that like anyone else she would've said No it's okay… ill tell you. But she didn't, that's what made her different from the rest.

"Yeah well… it's okay for me if you don't want to tell"

They stood silent for what seemed to be hours. Until she broke the silence.

"I was dreaming with you"

"Huh?"

"I was dreaming that you were injured ,by the Homonculi… even though you had destroyed them you were badly injured

"Really?"

"Yes" she ansewerd coldly

"I had failled to protect you, and you were dying"

"I had broken my promise"

"Oh" He said sadly.

"Dont be sorry" she said with teary eyes.

"It was just a dream wasnt it"

"You sholud go to bed, its getting late"

"Umm... ok" He answered as he wraped a quilt around himself.

She left to change to her baby blue pijamas, brush her teeth and everithing. And when she came back he was already fast asleep. So she sat in the couch too and started playing with his strands of black hair.But when he felt a womens touch his instinct made him move over her and he placed his head on her lap. In a normal situation she wouldve blown his head off. But for this time she will let it pass.

They where woken up by a door slam at her apartment. Both at the same time.

Riza lifted her head, and saw an astonished Maes he was standing strait with his mouth wide open.

"What's wrong?"

That was all she could say after seeing that Maes was surely staring at her.

He just smiled. "Nothing" and ran away like a thunder.

Roy was surely awake but was making himself the sleepy boy.

When he opened his eyes … just a bit all he saw was a beautiful long blonde hair.

When Riza finished her wake-up process without moving she remembered Maes terrible smile.

"Oh, no…." She said. As she sat strait in Roy's legs.

"What?" Roy asked still having that sleepy face of his.

"He ... You ….Me ….We" She babbled

Riza kept explaining what she saw about Maes. But Roy was to busy thinking. He had never seen his lieutenant babble or freak out, she was always straight and serious. His face couldn't contain a smile. He had fallen in love with Riza Hawkeye.

"So… Did you hear me?" she looked at him like if he was an inhuman experiment.

"What?"…oh um. Sorry... you say something?. She rolled her eyes.

"Arrrgh! you never hear anything" She exclaimed.

"Forget it" and started to dress herself.
