Disclaimer- no I don't own full metal alchemist, but I do own a huge poster of the sexy flame alchemist, and there's nothing you can do to change that! Ha!

Oh, and I don't know if you figured this out already, but what I meant by "the bullet that was meant for Maes" was the bullet that killed him in the series. And envy got away, but Maes is safe.

Yeah, I'm sure you didn't really care but now you know!

Riza had been sitting by Roy's bed for almost three hours now, ever since he had confessed his love to her and passed out.

"Ma'am? Visiting hours are over and he needs his treatments so,"

"yes, I'll leave, thank you for taking care of him." Riza said to the nurse, then picked up her bag and walked out, stealing one last look at 'the sexy flame alchemist' as he put it.

She got a cab ride to her house, and went straight to bed.

It had been a week since Roy was shot, and everyone in the military was anxious for his return. Maes went to pick him up at the hospital, and Riza had joined him.

"we've come to pick up Roy Mustang, I believe he was in room 207."

"sure, but I must warn you, the medicine he is taking might make him a little…weird."

Riza shrugged. He was always weird, how much worse could it get? She walked briskly to his room, Maes trailing behind. They found him sitting on his freshly made bed, wearing a black t-shirt and his military pants. They had to throw away his other shirt, it had a hole in the middle and it was covered in blood.

"Hello sir." Riza said, hiding a blush.

"Hello, how are you today?" He responded. The nurse was right, he was never this formal.

"Are you ready to go?"

"go where?"

"back to the office, everyone is waiting for you, they even set up a welcome back party for you."

"office? I have an office? And who is everyone?"

"sir, are you sure you're healthy enough to leave?" Riza said, placing a hand against his forehead.

"I guess, but why do you keep calling me sir? My name is Roy."

Riza rolled her eyes. "okay Roy, come on." she held out a hand. He took it and she pulled him off the bed.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourselves before you take me to this 'office' you speak of?"

that's when it hit Riza, like a ton of bricks.

"Roy, you don't remember me? What about Maes?" she said almost frantically, waving a hand in his direction.

"No, is that your boyfriend?"

Riza's eyes got big. "no! he's married you idiot! Wait, did you forget.. Snap your fingers."

"what? Why?"

"just do it."

He snapped his gloved fingers. Nothing happened.

It has to be the medicine, I'm sure its just temporary. I mean, Maes is his best friend, and alchemy is something he's known forever!

"hey Riza, maybe he needs something to jog his memory." Maes suggested.

Riza did the first thing she could think of. Pull out her faithful gun. She pointed the gun at his head, and instead of withering to a lump on the floor or begging for forgiveness like he usually did, Roy ducked and slid to the side, then grabbed her arm and pinned it to her back.

"why on earth did you try to shoot me? Riza flicked her thumb so it opened the gun, and a round full of blanks spilled out.

"I didn't have any real bullets, they're in my other gun. wouldn't shoot you."

He released her arm and gathered up the blanks, then handed them to her.

"well, maybe if we take him to see everybody, he will remember."

They agreed and went to the car and drove him to the office.

"SURPRISE!" everyone yelled when they came in the door. Roy just stood there dumbfounded.

"before you start talking to the colonel, there is something you need to know." Riza said. Nobody was listing so she pulled out her gun and fired a blank at the ceiling. "LISTEN TO ME WHEN I'M TALKING!" She yelled. "now, the medicine he has been taking has given him temporary amnesia. So he doesn't know any of you right now. don't overwhelm him."

She stayed for the first ten minutes or so, then excused herself and left. She walked down the sidewalk buzzing with people and to the café where se always went. She ordered the usual, coffee and a small apple turnover, and sat at her table in the corner, next to a window. The waitress didn't take long and soon enough she found herself staring into her coffee. good thing this is only temporary, I don't know what I would do if he never remembered all the things that had happened, all the fun we had with those idiots I work with. every time the bell on the café door chimed, Riza looked up out of habit, thinking it would be Roy. Before he was shot, every Saturday Riza would come down to this café and order the same thing. When she was on her second cup of coffee and halfway through her apple turnover, Roy would show up, and sit at her table. They would talk while Roy drank cup after cup of coffee, and Riza watched him. Then she would finish her snack and get up to leave, and Roy would jump up to try and stop her. He would offer to buy her another cup of coffee, or anything to keep her around. She would roll her eyes, smile and decline the offer, then leave poor Roy to drown himself in coffee.

"are you okay ma'am?" someone said.

Riza looked up from her coffee and saw a young man, one of the waiters, sitting across from her, in what she had come to know as Roy's seat. "yes, I'm fine."

"oh, I was just wondering, you were staring into your drink for some time. Are you waiting for your date?"

Her date? Is that what he was? She guessed she could call him that, her date that never failed to be late. "No, I'm just here to pass time." She took a few sips of her coffee and looked up at him again.

He stuck his hand out, with a cheesy grin on his face. A grin that Roy was famous for. "The name is Piro. You?"

Riza took his hand and shook it. "Riza." she took a few more sips of her coffee and got up. "I should be going, I have things to do."

"okay, see you next time?"

"sure" she smiled and left, walking to the bookstore to see if the sequel to a book she liked was out yet.
