It was Saturday morning and perhaps for the first time that ever happened, Roy was the first one to get up around 8 o'clock. Opening his eye's he saw Riza with a heavy look as if she never slept that night, she was still heavily asleep. Roy looked at her and caressing her face decided not to wake her up, it hurt him to think she had to wake up knowing how tired she was, maybe perhaps yesterday was too tiring for her after all that happened. He quietly got out of bed and headed down stairs, he was greeted by all his four sisters eating breakfast down stairs.

"Hey sleepy head, you finally up?!" yelled Jill from the bar counter.

"Morning Roy, come over here and have some breakfast." said Rachel.

Roy walked over and sat on the counter of the bar in empty chair. Eliza without saying a word got up to go grab some food and coffee for him.

"So where's Riza?" asked Eleanor

"Shes still sleeping" Roy felt very weird and amazed of the three words he just said. He never thought he would be saying those words.

"Wow, shes a heavy sleeper huh?!" Jill said.

"No..shes actually not. She just seemed very tired today for some reason." Roy replied concerned.

"Ooh really?...Maybe SOMEONE just kept her awake all night and got her tired, if you know what i mean." Jill said giving Roy a wink.

Roy playfully reached to Jill's plate as if trying to steal a piece of bacon from her plate but she quickly pulled it away from him.

"Too slow old man!" teased Jill

"Jill if your going to bother Roy as he tries to eat his breakfast then leave the table to those who wants to eat seriously." said Eliza as she came back with Roy's breakfast and a cup of coffee.

"Geez sis! Why are you always pampering him even if hes old now?! Hes not some baby ya know!" Jill complained to her older sister.

Eliza didn't bother to reply back to Jill, she simply walked over to sit next to Roy as he ate breakfast. After a couple of minutes eating Roy noticed Madam Chris was not here.

"Hey sis, where is Madam Chris?" He asked Eliza

"It seems like she fell asleep really late last night. Shes still sleeping upstairs."

Roy gave his sister a confused look, Madam Chris was also a person not to sleep in too late, it was strange and Roy couldn't help but think there was a connection perhaps with Madam Chris and Riza but having no reason to think there was he let it escape his mind.

"So are you leaving to Central Command today?" asked Rachel

"Yeah, I cant say im looking forward to that.."

"Well it wasn't all bad now was it? You got to return to Central City and see us again Right?" Eleanor responded

"I'm not sure about that" Roy teased his sister. Roy was just finishing his meal when the thought of Riza still now having breakfast came to his mind.

"Sis can I please get one more plate to take up to Riza please?" Roy asked Eleanor.

"Yes, of course" Eleanor responded getting up and walking to the kitchen to get another plate for Roy to take up.

Roy waited till Rachel returned with Riza's breakfast and took it upstairs. He opened the door and a beautiful blond still laid in his bed sound asleep. He walked to the desk in his room and laid down her plate there, he walked over to Riza and kneeled beside his bed just looking at her. Still feeling guilty to wake her up he looked at his watch, it was 9:30, it was getting late. They had to take a shower, pack everything up again and leave to Central Station by 2 o'clock to meet with the gang.

"Riza" he whispered. No response.

"Hey Riza" He said a little more loud. Still, no response.

Well he tried, but now he had an excuse to get physical with her. He got up and sat at the edge of the bed and putting one arm over her to lean as close as he could to her face. He leaned in and gave her a peck on the lips. No response. He leaned in again this time placing his lips slightly forcefully and kept it there until Riza let out a small groan. He pulled away thinking that woke her up but to his surprise, she still kept sleeping.

"Okay, here goes nothing" he thought. This time placing his other hand to cup her face he leaned in and kissed her passionately, he took in Riza's bottom lip and sucked on it gently with his mouth. Riza's body slightly jump at Roy's strong presence and instinctively put one hand on Roy's face as she opened her eye's and pulled it away from her.

"Wha..what?...Roy?...What are you doing?" She asked puzzled as the sudden way of Roy's idea to awake her startled her.

"I'm waking you up because its going to be 10 o'clock and amazingly your still asleep." Replied Roy.

"Well that was a very dangerous way of doing that." Riza replied with a slight annoyed voice and rubbing her eyes. "I could have hit you or shot you if I had my gun Roy"

"Well, maybe with enough practice you and your body can get used to it?" Roy replied wondering what he did wrong for the slight attitude in Riza's voice.

"You might end up dead before that happens" she retorted back.

"It would still be worth it" Roy replied trying to cheer her up by being sweet but Riza only stared back at him.

"Riza is something wrong?" Roy now getting serious.

"No, nothing is wrong." Riza replied as she stood up to get up from the bed .

"Are you sure? You still look really tired." Roy replied concerned.

As Roy said this everything that happened last night came to Riza's mind, she remembered the "Story" Madam Chris had told her. She kept a straight face to not let anything show and have Roy keep pressing the concern.

"Yeah I guess I just didn't feel right sleeping here." was the first excuse it came to her mind

"So you don't like being here with my family?" Roy now became slightly sad hearing those words

"No its not like that, its just I felt like I was bothering them by being here, that's all."

"That's not how they feel Riza, they are really happy that your here, and so am I."

"Yeah I know, I guess I just have to get used to it, that's all." She said giving him a small smile

"Yeah okay, look they made you breakfast, I placed it on the desk over there. Eat and ill take a shower while you do, we need to be in Central Station by 2pm."

"Yeah okay"

Roy still concerned got his Military uniform and jumped in the shower. Riza sat down on the desk and pondered about what to do with the new information she obtained last night. After thinking long she decided to keep it deep within her until she really felt it was the time to tell Roy about this, Madam Chris had trust her to do so. Hearing Roy turning off the shower and seeing that she still sat there without touching her food started to shove the food quickly in her mouth to finish her breakfast before Roy stepped out. Time passed and Roy and Riza had took a shower, packed their luggage again and went down stairs to get a cab. They had a said farewell to Roy's sister's and promised to come back again to visit before they went back to the East. Riza or Roy didn't have a chance to say anything to Madam Chris as she still laid in bed apparently with a hang over from last night and couldn't come down.

They got to Central Station by 1:00 pm. Central Station was only a couple of blocks away from Central Headquarters. They got off the cab and walked over to some benches that was not too far away from the Train that they assumed the guys would come out from if they were on time that is. They sat down without saying a word to each other being the first time in uniform again since the night that reaffirmed their relationship, it seemed nothing felt too different. Roy sat with a leg crossed and slouched back getting comfortable till his crew arrived. Riza sat professionally straight with her arms laying on her legs, she finally seemed to relax even more now with her uniform on, after 30 minutes it seemed she started to doze off again. It surprised Roy when he felt a bump on his left shoulder turning around to see Riza's head against it. It seemed there was something different after all. It astonished Roy that Riza would let her guard down like that knowing she was on uniform and not too far from Central Headquarters where soldiers might be around, not only that she was always alert around Roy making sure he was safe.

"What the Hell happened last night Riza?" Roy thought.

Roy thought about waking her up but it left as soon as it came to him, he didn't care, the odds of that happening were slim anyways. Sadly enough, those small chances did come to a soldier who had arrived two hours early to Central Station that day and had left to kill time and buy some cigarettes. Jean Havoc came in walking from the back of the station where Roy and Riza stood in front of him with their backs. He dropped his lighter trying to light up his cigarette as soon as he recognize that indeed that was his Commander and his Lieutenant sitting on the bench together with Riza's head on Roy's shoulder. He quickly grabbed his lighter and ran to hide on a dark corner. He slouched down to the ground and lit his cigarette, he felt this sharp pain in his chest and every time he would seem to glace at them it would get worse.

"This doesn't mean anything!...does it?...Shit! What the hell happened after the bar that night?! Was Breda and Fuery right about the Colonel and the Lieutenant?! Why are they here together? How long have they been here?! No this cant be!" The more Havoc thought about it the more it just seemed more likely, but this was the last thing Havoc wanted. Feeling too awkward and scared, he decided to stay in that corner until everyone arrived.

Sadly enough it was only 20 minutes more that they were able to share together when Roy saw the Train arrive from far away . Taking one last look at his beautiful and most precious subordinate he slightly shook his shoulder so Riza would feel the movement and said

"Heads up Lieutenant, the rest of the group is here" In a strict loud tone that Riza quickly reacted to

"My apologies Colonel" Riza said as she woke up

"There is nothing for you to apologize for lieutenant"

As the train came to a hauling stop and a minute after the doors opened and everyone came out, Havoc decided to use that opportunity to make it seem like he came in that train and lost himself in the crowd of people around the station. He slowly approached Roy and Riza and gave them a wave since he had his cigarette in his mouth but at the same time relieved to not see them acting affectionate with each other.

"Hey chief, sup lieutenant" Havoc greeted as he took his cigarette out of his mouth.

"Good to see you made it Havoc. I didn't expect to see you first really" replied Roy

"Oh? Were you expecting me to not show up chief?"

"Oh I was, two or four more hours later on today. " Roy teased back

"Ill have to remember that next time I could sleep in longer" replied Havoc turning to Riza as he expected a comment from her. She wasn't paying attention, she seemed to stare into the crowd blankly without looking for anything.

The strange way Riza was acting made Havoc's stomach drop to the floor as it only confirmed that indeed something perhaps happened these last two days.

"Hey chief, is everything alright with the lieutenant?" asked Havoc worried.

"She's just...She seems to be tired from the trip that's all" Roy correcting himself

Hearing her mentioned brought Riza's attention back to Roy and Havoc, she simply lifted and eyebrow and with a strict tone said

"Is there something you want to say to me second lieutenant?"

"No Ma'am!" quickly replied Havoc.

After a couple of minutes later Breda, Fuery and Falman came together walking towards them, Roy and Riza stood up to greet them and everyone together walked to Central Headquarters. As they walked into Central and towards the information desk, most soldiers would turn around to see them and whispered to each other. It would seem Roy's platoon was famous after all for many reasons. All the female soldiers would gasp and get excited to see Roy in Central again since he wasn't there very often. It always puzzled Havoc what was the big deal about Roy. Havoc was just as good looking, Taller and didn't think he had a horrible personality at all, so what was it? He wondered.

"Shit, why always all the girls?! Even took the ones I was interested in!" Havoc thought. He found himself feeling angered and jealous at his commander. Havoc caught himself and before his feeling got worse he stopped it cold at its track. He completely trusted his commander, he even felt like if they would actually talk more and hang out would become really good friends, perhaps deep down he knew that he wouldn't forgive him if he was playing around and hurting Riza.

As Havoc looked around to see all the people stare at them he notice almost every men would keep their eyes on Riza. As they gossip away Havoc knew exactly what they would be saying about her. Some would talk about her very strict personality, about how beautiful she was, how an amazing marksmanship she is and also about being Roy's personal female bodyguard. That was the part he couldn't stand to hear about his lieutenant. He knew everyone of them was just a jealous bastard who talked trash about how she always is with Roy and assumed she also gave him "Special" care to him. It amazed Havoc how Riza and Roy could easily ignore all the gossip and rumors and never seemed to care one bit.

Roy approached the desk to find a beautiful clerk sitting behind it.

"Colonel Roy Mustang! Its a pleasure to see you in Central again sir" she said trying to stay composed.

"Thank you private. I assume you are aware that me and my platoon are visiting Central for the week?"

"Yes of course, the Fuhrer has arrange everything for you. You have a private room as does the First Lieutenant and two room for the rest of your squad. The Fuhrer has address for you to get settle in today and tomorrow at his office to meet with him at Noon, that is all."

"Until tomorrow huh?" He thought. "Thank you very much pretty lady" Roy replied giving her a wink.

"Your welcome" the beautiful clerk responded melting to Roy's words.

Roy turned around to face his platoon. "You are to check into your dorms and meet at the Fuhrer office tomorrow at Noon, you have the rest of the day to do as you please, enjoy your last day of vacation gentlemen" Roy said with a smirk on his face.

"Well common guys, lets make the best of it." said Breda looking at everyone.

"See you tomorrow Colonel, Lieutenant." said Falman

"Ill guess ill see you guys later" said Havoc giving one more glance at them before leaving with the guys.

"Shell we Lieutenant?" Roy said as if he was escorting her to her room.

"Yes sir"

They walked outside of Headquarters and walked a couple of blocks where private dorms usually for high ranking officers stayed and walked inside. They walked to the reception desk and checked in. Roy was on the third floor while Riza on the second. They walked through the hallway and up the stairs, when they got to the second floor Riza found her room and stood in front of it.

"Ill see you tomorrow Sir." she said saluting Roy, she opened her door with the key and started heading inside.

"Lieutenant!"

She stopped and turned around. "Yes Sir?"

"I..uh was wondering what were you thinking of doing after this?"

"After this?"

"Yes...I uh...was wondering if you were hungry if its okay for you to join me later on tonight?"

Riza stood there and pondered about what to answer. This was still central and everything they did had a risk. Too many eyes were on them here.

"I don't think that would be a good idea Colonel."

"It's not a date Lieutenant. We will have company"

"Sir?" Riza was now confused.

"Will 8 o'clock be okay for you Lieutenant?"

Riza didn't know what Roy was talking about, but she knew that she trusted him completely.

"Yes Sir, that's fine ill see you here at that time."

"Ill see you then Lieutenant...oh ..and wear normal clothing"

And with that Roy turned around to go find his room on the third floor and Riza still very confused went in to set her things in and relax before meeting up with Roy later on that day.

Meanwhile back with the rest of the guys...

Unfortunately Breda, Fuery, Havoc and Falman's temporary stay was more than a couple of blocks away. They had to take a Taxi to their dorms. They walked in the dorm and checked in, both rooms were on the first floor and right across from each other. Havoc and Fuery shared a room while Breda and Falman shared the other. As they settle in an hour later there was someone knocking on Havoc's and Fuery's door, Havoc opened the door to see Breda standing.

"Yo whats up man, where's Falman?" He asked

"He decided to stay in the room and take a nap"

"Man that guy is so boring, his whole youth is just going to pass him by!" said Havoc sarcastically

"Wait, it didn't already? Isn't he older than us? He has kids right?" Breda asked now realizing how little he really did know about him.

"I don't have the slightest idea..." said Havoc realizing the same thing. "Hurry up and get your ass in here".

"So what are we up to tonight?" asked Breda.

"I don't have the slightest clue. Does anybody know a good place in Central?" asked Fuery

"Has that ever stopped us? If we don't well find one man." Havoc replied

"Yeah that's true...hey Havoc how come we didn't see you at the train today? I walked through the whole damn train and only found Breda and Falman."

Havoc's mind had finally forgotten about what he saw today at Central Station, Until right now that Fuery reminded him.

"Oh I came on a earlier one and got here early" Havoc lied.

"Oh so you came with the Colonel and the Lieutenant?" asked Fuery knowing that they weren't in that train as well.

"Yeah, maybe I did, I don't know. I didn't go around like you trying to find them bro common." Havoc replied mocking Fuery.

"Soorry, I was just asking man sheesh." replied Fuery.

"Were the Colonel and Lieutenant together when you found them Havoc?" asked Breda

"Yeah, why?" asked Havoc but he knew what he was hinting at.

"Oh..Nothing." said Breda.

Nobody said anything but were thinking the same thing, everyone knew that most likely they came together.

"Oh common guys!nothing unusual! The higher ups just happen to do some things together like we do that's all, right?" Havoc burst out.

"Uh...not really. The Lieutenant and the Colonel aren't really like that, I know that their ranks have nothing to do with that. I don't feel weird being around them or doing things with them. Like I said, I wish they would open up and do more things with us together." Breda said.

"Yeah guys I think we should really just accept that. I don't think we are all ever going to be close to them like that." said Fuery sad now realizing the truth.

"Yeah I guess so... but its okay. I don't think ill ever be more happier to be under someone working and trusting my life to them like Colonel Mustang and the Lieutenant." said Breda

"Yeah...no matter what happens ill always support and trust them completely no matter what." agreed Fuery.

They all stood there in silence accepting the fact and coming to terms with it. They seemed to accept how it would always be between them, everyone except one person.

"No..."... Havoc said softly but loud enough for everyone to hear because of the silence.

"Havoc?" Fuery surprised to hear those words

"I said no. I am not going to give up that easily! We risk our lives together! We are brother's in arms, we spill blood together! How can we not be close?!" Havoc said determined.

Everyone just looked at him silently, they didn't know that to say. They never saw Havoc so worked up before and surprised about being because of this. Deep down inside the truth was that Havoc wanted his relationship to change with one person. He now knew that it would sacrifice the relationship perhaps of the other one, Roy, but he was now fine with that. He no longer could contain the burning desire of what his heart wanted most. He was not going to give up.

"Lets get the hell out of here and get some drinks!" Havoc said killing the silence and having everyone get up and head out.

7:55 P.M...

Riza stood facing a dressing mirror as she checked herself one last time before Roy came to meet her. She wore a black turtle neck shirt with a white coat and black jeans with black high heels. She wasn't sure if she was dressed correctly for the occasion or not because she wasn't sure where they were going. She walked to a bed side table where she had her perfume and put some on, as she did she heard a knock on the door, it was Roy. Grabbing her white purse she walked to the door and opened it, her face didn't show anything but she was taken by Roy who looked really handsome. Roy had slicked his hair back with only some few bangs in front of his face, he wore a black shirt with a Grey sweater on top and black dress pants and shoes. She was really trying to hide how much she liked his looks and hope her cheeks weren't red.

"Good evening Lieutenant, im here to pick you up." He said with a dashing smile.

"It would be a better evening Colonel if I knew where we were going" she replied back trying to keep her stick demeanor

"I thought you promised me to follow me anywhere Lieutenant"

"Yes I did sir, but my instincts and body tells me im not going to like it."

"You promised to follow me to a battlefield or to even hell itself Lieutenant, what worse could there be?"

Riza just looked at him and gave him a frown indicating that perhaps there could be a place worse than that.

"Lets go Lieutenant" Roy simply said as he gave up

Riza closed the door and walked closely by Roy. As they made their way down the stairs and into the street's they passed by some soldiers off duty. Everyone just looked at them suspiciously but with out saying a word, Roy and Riza did not give a single glance to anyone and walked by them as if they weren't there. There was a taxi waiting for them that Roy had called before to take them to their destination. He opened the door for Riza and they went inside, Roy gave the taxi driver a little note to let him know where they were heading, he simply took the small note an nodded.

As they were on their way, Riza couldn't help but steal some small glances at Roy, he was also wearing some soft cologne that had a really good smell.

"Is there something on my face Lieutenant?" Roy asked as he felt Riza's eyes on him constantly

"No sir, just thinking you should be more careful"

"About what?" Roy asked confused

"About your reputation sir. I believed by tomorrow you will make all the ladies in Central cry when they think we went on a date."

Roy laughed. "Yes and all the men jealous"

"Isn't that going to hurt your pride Sir?"

"Hurt it? Impossible Lieutenant, Never when it comes to you."

She had to admit, she was touched by that statement.

"So I guess the same rumors about us then." Riza said

"Like always, nothing new about that. In fact, I think its more convenient for us right now." As Roy said that he reached to grab Riza's hand secretly and intertwine it with hers, they held hands until the taxi stopped in front of a house. They got off and Riza once again walked close to Roy as they approached the front door. Roy rang the bell.

After a couple of seconds there was a voice calling out in response coming to open the door. When the door opened there was a beautiful woman with brown hair, blue eyes and with a kind warm smile.

"Hello, its been a while, perhaps you don't remember me but im a friend of your husband." Roy said to the kind lady.

"Oh mister mustang! Of course I remember you! How have you been?" the beautiful lady responded.

"I been good thank you, This is Riza Hawkeye"

"Its a pleasure to meet you Ma'am." Riza said as she took a step forward to introduce herself.

"Its my pleasure. Please come inside! Ill tell my husband that you are here." She said as they walked in and sat on a couch on the living room.

Not a single minute passed by and out of the kitchen passage came out a man that Roy knew very well, as a matter a fact Riza knew him as well, she met him on the horrible battlefield In Ishval the day she found Roy.

"Its been a while since I actually saw you in person Roy."

There stood Roy's best friend, Maes Hughes.
