It's been quiet a while since I last updated…Sorry about the wait.

I've changed the "outlining" of the story. All things that take place in the "Past" will be in italics.

Chapter 8: Unintentional

The girls were the only ones still at Hawkeye later on the afternoon. They were all dying to ask her the same question.

"Are you out of your mind!" Sciezska asked. "You'll be lucky if he lives long enough to make it on that date."

"Did you see the look on Roy's face?" Was the real question they all wanted to know the answer to.

"Yeah," Hawkeye said. "I warned him, But he said he wasn't afraid."

"He's bullshitting," Winry said. "Hell even we're afraid and we aren't the ones trying to get in your pants."

"Winry!" Sciezska scolded her love.

"I just saying…" Winry blushed.

"You should call it off," Gracia said. "When you find his scorched body in an ally you'll have wished you had.

"I'm not to concerned," Hawkeye responded. "Roy knows I'd never forgive him if he ever really tried anything."

"Sure he does," Gracia said. "But he also knows that no matter what you're his best friend."

"A small kill in his mind won't do to much damage." Winry added.

Hawkeye was actually becoming a little worried for her future date. Especially since she noticed all of her guys were gone. She was starting to get a little suspicious.

"Roy what are you doing?" Hughes asked as Roy searched through their records.

"I want the file on that jerk." Mustang replied. "I'm not letting him ten paces to Riza without doing a through check on this guy."

"Are we going to threaten him?" Fuery asked excitedly. "You know just to run the point across."

"Don't give him any idea's," Hughes said.

"Oh don't worry about giving him idea's," Havoc said taking a drag of his cigarette. "He's had the idea since before we left the house."

"Damn straight Jean," Roy said. Flipping through the impeccable file. This guy was a solider prodigy, nearly perfect marks in everything. His ranking was number to when it came to arms precision."

"Isn't Wasserman underneath Hawkeye by six points in the range?" Fuery asked. "I remember seeing him there one day trying to beat her score."

"No one will ever beat it," Roy said. "She has a perfect score."

"well of course no one can go higher but I saw some pretty fantastic shots that I just knew would move him up. But the instructor insisted he still wasn't perfect."

"That's because Roy has that place rigged." Alex said. "No one moves up, high enough to match Hawkeye."

"Damn right" Mustang growled. "He can keep his lowly, grungy, good for nothing, satanic hands off of her."

"Don't you think you're over reacting?" Hughes asked.

"What?" Mustang asked looking at Hughes dangerously. "Don't you care?"

"Of course I care," He remarked. "but it's just a date."

"I say we rough him up!" Fuery said. Balding up his fist and colliding it with his hands a few times.

"Shut up," Havoc said hitting his smaller friend over the head.

"That's why I like you Kain," Roy said with a dark gleam in his eye. "You're a good guy with a level head on your shoulders."

"Well someone has to have on around you," Alex said.

--

"I don't believe he'd really do anything that…" Hawkeye said trailing off.

"Don't you remember when we were seventeen?" Gracia asked.

Riza's back was turned to Roy as he rounded the corner. The young raven haired man easily spotted his young beauty but growled. There standing with her was an unknown "male".

"Don't do it," Maes said. "she'll never forgive you."

"I don't know what you're talking about," Roy answered his friends.

All the guys knew that look. It was the exact same he had given to each of them the first time he spotted them talking to their only female friend.

"I know it's a territorial thing but she's going up Roy," Gracia said coming to join them. "She needs to get away from you guys and have her own space."

"But she's like our baby sister," Alex complained.

"Exactly," Fuery added even though he was younger than Riza.

"And we'll smash his face in if he tried anything," Havoc promised.

They all watched intently as Riza laughed quietly. She seemed to be getting on well with this new guy, much to their dismay, but soon the small crowd staring at the two gained some attention. Especially with the way Roy kept cracking his knuckles.

The young man looked their way and said something to Riza who turned, But she only caught a glimpse of her friends as they scattered. There was only one left by the time she had turn around fully, He hadn't moved.

"You're going to die," Fuery said walking up behind the new guy.

"What?" He asked.

"You're going to die," He repeated. "Do you see that look."

The older guy laughed and turned to face Roy.

"He doesn't scare me." He responded.

"He's like dominate male," Fuery said. "You're imposing on his pack."

"You guys are weird," He said.

"Don't listen to him," Riza reassured him. "This is Kain."

"Let me guess," Said the guy. "and that's the almighty Roy Mustang yeah?"

"That's the grim reaper Roy Mustang," Fuery whispered.

"Stop it!" Riza growled. "If you going to act like that go stand back over there next to Roy."

Fuery threw his hands into the air in defeat, and ran off. He turned around halfway down the hall and laughed.

"he's watching you!" Before cracking up and making his way to his own locker.

"You hang out with those guys on the daily?" the tall guy asked.

Riza nodded. "they're like my older brothers."

"That Mustang guy doesn't seem like a brother to me," He said.

"Don't worry about Roy," Riza told him.

He nodded. "So how about that pizza after school?"

"I'll be there." She smiled lightly.

"Good," He said "I'm looking forward to it."

"I bet you are," Roy said from over her shoulder as he walked away.

"what the hell was that about?" She asked annoyed.

"Pizza better be the only thing he's eating after school to." Roy said.

"Huh?" Riza asked before shuddering at him underlying intentions. "That's disgusting Roy."

"Whatever," He answered. "I'm watching him."

"When aren't you watching?" Riza asked.

"What's his name?"

"David," She answered.

"Never heard of him." Roy said. "you be careful around him."

"Roy I'm not four," She replied. "I can handle myself."

"You better shoot that asshole if he tries anything." He warned. "I'll be watching, and if you don't shoot him I'll bloody him up."

"Roy!"

"I'm serious." Roy warned. "I'm poised and ready."
