WAY TOO BUSY, but I'm making some time.

Maes was walking down the hallways of headquarters, holding the vampire book close. Just earlier he was called by Hawkeye that Roy wanted to see him for an urgent matter. Thinking that it had something to do with the earlier moments, he brought along the book. He opened the door to the smaller office, greeted by Havoc and the other officers. "Hey Havoc, is Roy inside?"
The cigarette bounced as the man spoke. "Yeah, but he seemed kind of pissed off when he and Hawkeye came in today."
Oh, that's not a good sign.
"Alright thanks. I'll show you a few of my new pictures of Elysia later!" Hughes cheerfully said and bounded to Mustang's office. Havoc shuddered and groaned while the others snickered lightly.
"Hey Roy, I got the phone call. So what's the-?" Hughes stopped short after he closed the door. The blinds of the room were nearly closed leaving the entire room dark. Hawkeye stood next to Mustang's desk, facing Hughes. As for Roy...he was slumped over his desk and a string of colorful words was being grumbled out of him. Maes looked over him again before glancing at Hawkeye who merely sighed and shook her head. He cautiously walked over to the desk. "…Roy, what happened…?"
Roy finally acknowledged the presence of the spectacled man and looked up, a slight glare etched across his face. "Hughes, does it say anything about the sun's rays in that book?"
"Uh I'm not sure. Why?"
Hawkeye sighed. "While walking here, the Colonel collapsed slightly. It seems that he became very vulnerable to the sun."
"Is that why the blinds are closed?"
"Yes."
"Wow, so are you going to be carrying an umbrella everywhere you go now?"
"I am not in the mood for your stupid talk Hughes. Just tell me what else I'm 'vulnerable' too that's in the book."
"Give me a second." Maes opened the book and flipped through. His eyebrow rose as he finally found something. "Well, there are a few things."
"What are they?"
"Blood of course, silver, stake (wooden), sunlight," Hughes laughed as Roy groaned, "Rosaries and garlic."
"Why would ANYONE bring GARLIC to Headquarters?"
Hughes snickered before noticing something else. "Well, there are a few upsides. There are some skills you get once you become half or full vampire."
Roy's ear's pricked up. "Skills?"
"Yup, let's see…your strength can be much more powerful, mind control, shape shifting, more speed, and your wounds heal much faster."
Roy thought for a moment before grinning. "Shape shifting and mind control eh? It'd be nice to control a few of my subordinate's minds." He snickered.
"You probably can't shape shift or control minds, I think that's for only FULL vampires."
Roy's face fell. "Damn." He muttered.
Hughes laughed. "Well, sunlight and silver items make you weak, so you'd better stay away from anything like those."
"I can't avoid the sun Hughes, it's impossible."
"Can't help you there then."
A groan was heard.
"Are you still weak?"
"A little."
Hughes looked at Riza, who understood. He looked back at Roy, whose head was still on the desk. "Well, you should have a drink then shouldn't you?"
Roy fully understood what he meant by this. "Probably, but then I'd use it all on working on paperwork."
"Its better then dying."
"Is it?"
Hughes went around and slapped his back. "It is, anyways, I'll leave you to drink. Oh by the way, the Elric brothers are dropping by to give their reports about the You-know-what stone. They're coming up soon."
"Alright thanks Hughes."
And with that the father left. Roy sighed and stretched his arms. "Great, like I already don't have enough problems."
Hawkeye put on a small smile. "Well, maybe having new skills can be an advantage point for you. It might be easier to hunt down Reine that way."
Roy smirked. "Well, having more speed and strength does sound interesting." He stood up dizzily. "Ugh, maybe I should have a drink. Ready?"
Riza nodded, allowing Roy to pull her closer and nestling her head in the crook of his neck. He gently pushed her against the wall holding her hands up onto the wall. He didn't move, his breath tingling onto her neck. The blonde noticed this and a curious expression crossed her face. "Colonel?"
His head was above her neck. He seriously wasn't getting used to being vampire, or even half of one. Even more, he had to drink from his lieutenant. He thought again. When did he ever start caring about her like this? Or at least, when did he ever care this much? Hughes words from last night were seriously making a point. Mustang snapped back to reality when he heard the lieutenant call his name.
"Ah, sorry, just thinking about something."
"We should hurry; you never know when someone could walk in on us."
She was answered by sharp points on her neck. Riza was pulled closer (if it was even possible) to him as he sucked her blood and was clutched tightly.
She was like a drug to him. So addicting! He could never stop thinking about her.
As was the same thoughts going through the lieutenant's mind. She had already admitted to herself that she was in love with him and his cocky, child-like, boisterous behavior, but told herself that it wouldn't be possible. One, the fraternization law, and two, he probably didn't love her back. Her thoughts were broken as she was pulled closer, feeling his tongue slide over her neck. She shuddered slightly, moaning quietly as he continued.
Roy was about to pull away and ask what was wrong and what had made her groan, but was stopped abruptly as the door swung open and a bouncy blonde alchemist came in. "Hey Mustang, I have your stupid report do-."
Edward and Alphonse Elric froze. Who wouldn't freeze up seeing their superior's mouth on someone else's neck and blood coming from his mouth?
Roy pulled away hastily, wiping his mouth and holding the slightly exasperated lieutenant.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Ed pointed and hollered, a horrible expression masked on. At the same moment, the two brothers were shoved in the room by Maes who was panting slightly.
"Sorry Roy! I told him you were busy but he wouldn't listen!" Maes threw a slight glare at Ed as he closed the door behind him. "Ed, Al, sit down. Roy, you should lay her on the couch."
Roy nodded, lifting the lieutenant and placing her onto the bed while the two brothers sat down. After making sure she was comfortable, he himself sat down next to Riza
"So, before asking any questions let me explain everything fir-."
"Why the hell were you…EATING your lieutenant?!"
Roy sighed. "Listen first alright? You'll understand then. Hughes, help me."
Ed and Al looked at each other uneasily before settling down into their seats.
"So a vampire called Reine turned you into a vampire?"
Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Colonel Hughes explained everything about Roy's conditions and everything else that concerned them. It was 2000 hours when they had finally completed talking.
"Yes, and I have to hunt him down so I can return to normal. In the meantime," He paused, gesturing to the lieutenant that was holding a cup of coffee and sitting besides him on the couch. "In the meantime, I have to drink blood in order to not go on a rampage."
"So you forced Hawkeye to be your…food??"
"I didn't force her and she's NOT food." He snapped.
Riza placed her cup on her knees. "I told him to Edward, it was my choice."
Al's metal body shifted. "But you should be careful Lieutenant Hawkeye that man will come after you no matter what."
"Yes I am fully aware of that."
Ed suddenly snickered. "So what, you'll get all shriveled up when you see the sun now? Burned by the sun?" He snickered again.
Roy twitched. "You probably get burned up, like an SMALL ant on the sidewalk."
"Hold it in brother, hold it in." Al calmly said, holding the older brother's head back. "So how are you going to find him?"
"We're going to be heading out to the vampires hide out, which should be where he was created. Knowing him, he's probably going to get thirsty again, and go after Hawkeye."
"But what if she gets bitten?"
Roy didn't respond for a moment, before glancing at Riza who had a straight face on. "That won't happen. This is my responsibility, and I brought Hawkeye into this mess. I will protect her no matter what it takes."
Riza looked at Roy with a soft expression. "I wonder what happened to me being you aide…"
Roy chuckled. "I do hope that you will help me Hawkeye."
"Of course colonel."
Roy turned back to the boys. "Anyways, we don't want the entire military finding out of what I had become, so keep your mouths shut alright?"
Ed scoffed. "Like we care, this isn't any of our concern. It's not our fault that we happened to come and see you snacking off your lieutenant."
"I told you she isn't food!" Roy roared. Ed stopped along with Al seeing the Colonel's face.
"Whatever. We're going now. See you colonel bastard." The door shut after the two brothers left, leaving the three officers to sit there in silence.
Roy sighed, dropping his head into his hands. "I really hate this. Lieutenant, Hughes, we're going to hunt for Reine tomorrow, so get ready. We're leaving tomorrow morning."
Hughes scratched his chin. "Where to? We don't know where that vampire lives."
Roy smirked. "It seems that while being half vampire, gaining some quality skills along, like extraordinary sense of smell."
Riza looked at him confused. "So you're going to smell him out?"
"I don't have to; I already smell where his scent leads to."
"And that is…"
Roy put on a grim smile. "Riza's hometown, HennisBurg Town."
