"Oh, um Thank You, Sir. Please come in, make yourself at home."
"I'm sorry that I'm early, I had a few problems at home, and didn't check the time."
"Don't worry about it, Sir. But I need to finish getting ready, I don't think I'll be going to the party like this." As Riza was closing her bedroom door, Roy muttered
"I wouldn't mind."
Roy was messing around with a photo of Riza sitting on her father's lap at a young age."Roy if you dropped that I'll shoot your balls off!"
As Roy was turning around he said "Well if you wouldn't scare me like that then maybe I wouldn't" Roy stopped dead in his tracks as he saw Riza. She was wearing a red strapless dress that ended just a little bit above her knees and fit her body perfectly, her hair was left down and she had just a little bit of make-up on.
"Wow, Riza you look amazing!"
"Ah, Thank You, Sir." She said with a blush across her face. "We should get going."
"Yeah as long as you don't call me 'Sir' I do have a name Riza."
"Yeah I know, but old habits die hard. Lets get going, Roy.
When Roy and Riza walked in, they spotted the guys huddled around a table, and decided to sit with them for a while. When they finally sat down Havoc was the first one to open his mouth and knowing him it was going to be something stupid.
"Hey Chief, are you sure this is Hawkeye, I mean it doesn't look like her."
"Havoc you better keep your mouth shut or-" Roy was too last though, because there was a all too familiar sound of a safety on a gun being turn off, and with that all the guys took there dates out on the dance floor.
"You brought your gun to a Valentines Day party?"
"Yes Roy, I always have a gun with me, you should know that by now." Roy took his gloves out, and was fiddling with them thinking of how to start a conversation when Riza ask "You brought your gloves to a Valentines Day party?" They both started to burst out in laughter until a man interrupted both of them." Riza is that you?" Roy and Riza both looked up at the man about Riza's age. He was a little bit taller than Roy, he had dirty blonde hair that didn't look like he brushed yet today at least that's what Roy thought.
"Yes, and who are you?" Riza said trying to remember if she knew this man.
"I'm not surprised you don't remember me it's been years. I'm Ben, Ben Steller. Your father's best friend's son." Ben said as he sat down across from Riza glaring at Roy.
"Oh, yeah I remember you now, but what are you doing here you have to be military to get in?" Riza informed him
"I just got into the investigation unit, I'm under command of a Brigadier General Hugh I think, I just got in yesterday I'm trying to get familiar with names and ranks."
"Hughes. Maes Hughes, Brigadier General Maes Hughes, Yes I remember now he did mention getting a new officer under his command." Roy said
"Who are you? And how do you know the Brigadier General, I mean you don't look that capable of handling a investigation?" Ben said in a trying to be polite voice, but had a grin on his face the whole time while saying it." This isn't looking good. Ben just insulted Roy!" Riza thought
"Roy, General Roy Mustang, The Flame Alchemist, I'm sure you've heard of me. As for your second question Hughes is my best friend besides Colonel Hawkeye here." Roy was getting up and was about to head over to the bar after he added "Oh, and I'd watch when insulting an officer that's a higher rank than you, and one that's a Flame Alchemist at that." As Roy was leaving he heard Ben ask Riza if she'd like to dance and hear her accept, Roy was furious that Ben just ask his, his date to dance, but decided to drink it off.
After 3 or 4 song, Roy couldn't remember, Riza came back over and sat next to him on a stool and asked for a drink."So are you just going to drink all night until you're to drunk to walk?" Riza asked
"I don't know, and as matter of fact, I really don't care." Roy replied.
"Well I do, because then I'll have to drive your drunken ass home." Riza said, Roy just laughed
"I can have Hughes take me home, if you don't want to." He said refilling his cup with more alcohol.
"I swear you're going to die by drinking that stuff one day." Riza informed him and she gives him memories of Ishbal and he says
"I won't mind, at least I can forget what happened at Ishbal, and maybe be able to rest once since then."
"Well I don't think the guys and Hughes would mind if you died, now would they? And I wouldn't either, so don't bring it up again."
"Ok Hawkeye, what ever you say." After a few minutes of silence Riza got tried of it and ask "You wanna dance?"
"What about Ben." Roy said with jealousy in his voice.
"Ben not my date, now is he? And it sounds a awfully lot like you're jealous of him, Roy. Are you?" Riza asked
"I don't get jealous Hawkeye." Roy said knowing full well he was jealous of Ben. Hell he got jealous when a man other than him sat beside her at lunch break.
"Ok what ever you say, Mr. I-Don't-Get-Jealous, Are you dancing are not?:" Riza asked
"Yeah sure, Let's go before I'm too drunk to dance." He said smiling. When they got out on the dance floor, Ben was dancing with someone that looks very familiar to Roy. Ben saw that he was dancing with Riza and glared at Roy, Roy just grinned and started dancing with Riza. They were dancing to a slow song when Roy asked "Do you like Ben?" afraid of her answer he closed his eyes and waited.
"No" Roy was the happiest man alive right now. Roy and Riza were looking into each others eyes, Riza closed her eyes when she saw that Roy was about to kiss her. They were so close to kissing each other when...
Haha, Sorry for the cliffy, I'll update soon.
