A/N: Hello there! And now I updated again! I just don't want you guys to wait longer. Well, here's chapter six. This mainly focuses on Havoc's emotions. And I just involved him in the trouble now. If you don't care about Havoc and you always wanted to dump him then I suggest you should just read the last part down there after the flashback. But if you love Havoc, or if you just really want to know what's happening to him then take time to read the whole chapter. By the way, thanks to those who reviewed!!! Keep on submitting your reviews!!! Thanks...!!!
Well, here's chapter six. Sorry if there are grammatical errors or typos.
Disclaimer: I don't own Havoc... and FMA...

Jean lit up a cigarette and planted it in his mouth. It was normal to smoke for him, but Roy got pissed off with the smokes.
"Jean, will you please stop smoking. You're distracting me." Roy requested as he stopped scribbling on the paper.
"But... I'm bored. Besides, I'm already done with my reports." Jean remarked.
"Huh? You're already done? Why didn't you say so? Okay you're dismissed." Roy said as he went back to work.
Jean stood and looked at him. "But sir, Lieutenant Hawkeye isn't here. I'm worried if you'll be skipping you're work again."
Maes tapped his shoulders and smiled. "Don't worry, Jean. As long as I'm here he won't be slacking off on his work." He assured.
"Uhhh... Okay." Jean immediately went out of the office. But instead of going home he decided to stay at the park to smoke. He sat on a bench under a tree and lit up a cigarette. He observed everything from left to right. "It's been three years since I first stayed here. But still, nothing has changed." He thought.
Flashback: Jean's POV---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A/N: For the first time in this fic... We're on someone's POV now... lolz... sorry for interrupting)
Three years ago, it was a good morning. I was promoted and transferred to Central by Colonel Mustang. Thanks to that guy, he chose me as one of his subordinates though I'm not as smart as anyone else.
I saw a vacant bench under a tree and decided to take a seat. This place is very cool, and I have a good view of Central Headquarters. I took a cigarette and stuck it in my mouth. It was really vexing to know that I'm smoking in a very clean area, but decided to continue what I wanted to do. And thanks to the cigarette, I first met her.
A short-haired blonde woman walked towards me. She's cute, I thought. One thing I immediately noticed was that she's wearing a blue uniform like mine. A female soldier? I was confused. She doesn't look like she had surpassed those military trainings. She stopped in front of me and saluted. I stood and did the same.
"Good morning." She greeted. "I'm second Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. You must be Second Lieutenant Jean Havoc." She assumed.
I was puzzled. How did she know? I'm sure this was the first time I saw her. Finally I asked her. "Oh... Yes... How did you know?"
"On the order they gave me it was stated that I'll be joining you, together with some other soldiers under Colonel Mustang's command." She explained. "And I searched for information and found out that you can be easily recognized by that cigarette stuck in your mouth." She pointed on the stick and I nearly dropped it.
I was impressed. Surely, there are a lot of soldiers who smoke. But how did she figure out my identity that easy? I never really thought about my new co-workers after knowing I was promoted. But Riza, she even knew my description. That's really impressive. "So... Uhhh... It seems like you know a lot about me."
"Not really that much. Just you're profile and educational background. And I also know the profiles of our other new co-workers." She looked at her watch. "Oh, I need to go. I still have to introduce myself to Colonel Mustang. See you later." She released a lovely smile before she walked away.
That smile was the sweetest smile I've ever seen. So innocent, so calm, I can't even believe I saw that from a soldier's face. I was lucky to be the one who first saw her smile here at Central. I wish I brought my camera at that time, because I didn't know I will never witness that very relaxing smile again.
Months later and I noticed she started letting her hair grow. That just made her more beautiful, though I had rarely seen her without her hair clip. Another thing I noticed was that, Riza and Roy started showing some feelings for each other. Whenever she's not looking, I stole some glances, only to find out that she's staring at him. And there are times when I caught him staring at her while she's doing her paperwork. It surely hurt me, but I thought I have to endure it, and respect her feelings.
And that day when Envy put her life in danger, it happened just at this park, at the front of this bench where I sat. I couldn't do anything; even Roy couldn't do anything to save her. Luckily, there's Winry to help. She was safe, and then Roy proposed. She didn't even hesitate to confess her feelings. And when she kissed him, I felt a real pain inside me. I wanted to scream her name and say "I love you" but I couldn't. I wanted to pull her away from his embrace and remove that ring on her finger, but I didn't let my emotion carry me. I knew I don't own her, I never did. I was just standing there, with the crowd, watching them enjoying their precious moment.
End of flashback-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jean was pulled out from his thought by a dog's bark. He looked down and saw Black Hayate happily barking at him while wagging its tail. He lifted and placed him on his lap. "You're here. Does that mean..." He then heard her voice.
"Jean!" She called. She was wearing an off-shoulder, long sleeved, blue cotton dress (or maybe an oversized shirt that fits her body) and the length was just two inches below her knee, and a pair of white shoes. As usual, she let her hair down. She immediately ran towards him.
"She's very attractive... Oh no what am I thinking?! She's already taken!" He thought. "Hi! What are you doing here?" He asked as he motioned her to sit beside him.
"I took Black Hayate for a walk and he suddenly ran away. He might have smelled you here." She explained.
He smiled. "This park... A lot of things had happened here." He simply said.
She instantly remembered Roy. "Yeah... I wish I could just go back to those memories and stay there forever."
He looked at her as she frowned. "Riza, is there something wrong?" Jean worriedly asked.
"I really want to pretend there's nothing wrong... But I don't want to fool myself anymore." She admitted.
"Do you want to talk about this? I think it will make you feel better, at least." He said as he patted Black Hayate's head.
"We can't talk about this here, Jean. I might get very emotional."
"Uhhh... Why don't we just talk about this in my house? It's just a five minute walk from here." He suggested.
She nodded. "That would be better."
Black Hayate jumped to the ground as they both strolled to his house. They're completely unaware that a pair of eyes was watching them.
