"Roy and Riza: Accidentally In love"
Authored By: Fallenangelescence23
Chapter 5-Immediate Confession
The train had just arrived at central train station as a blonde stood up from the bench holding a suit case containing her belongings.
"Riza!" a voice cried out.
The first lieutenant bit her lip. 'Please don't let it be…who I think it is.' She closed her eyes and slowly turned around and opened them.
There stood the flame alchemist panting. "Where the hell are you going, lieutenant?!"
"I'm being transferred to the north, sir." She looked away and he grabbed her wrist.
"Is this your way on getting away from me?"
The blonde sighed. "Yes."
"I'm sorry, if you must know Sylvia and I are—"
"Over?" she scoffed. "Oh please I knew about that since the ball, I'm even surprised that you still have the intention to get back together with her—"
"Just listen, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
Riza smiled weakly and was about to step into the train when she felt arms around her waist.
"If you leave now…I'm going to hate myself forever…" Roy grip grew tighter. "Please don't go." She felt a tear roll down her cheek. Riza knew that she could leave Roy behind but her heart wouldn't allow it.
"All aboard!" the train conductor yelled.
The blonde pulled away, "I have to go." She stated.
He pulled her right arm. "No you don't"
"Ahem…" someone cleared his throat. "Elizabeth, Roy, I'll speak with you."
"Grandfather, I can't miss the train to the North!" Riza whined.
"Don't be absurd, report to my office this instant." General Grumman retorted. "Both of you," He added.
The two co-workers exchanged glances and saluted. "Yes, Sir!"
-----------------
Central Headquarters
"Grandfather—"
"Elizabeth, where are your manners?" the general sipped from his porcelain tea cup, "Do you know why I called you here today?"
"To miss my train ride?" the lieutenant crossed her arms.
"Yes, that too, I didn't want my granddaughter to go away and seeing that she's unhappy, I've decided." The old man put down his tea cup on the saucer. He reached in his drawer and pulled out a brown envelope then he slid it across the table to the married couple.
The confused lieutenant and colonel stared at the envelope. The first lieutenant picked up the brown envelope. "Am I getting reprimanded?" she worried.
"No, dear." Her grandfather replied.
Opening the envelope carefully, she found papers that made her jaw drop. "What's the meaning of this?" she held the paper.
"Divorce papers,"
"Why?" she questioned.
"Funny, I thought you'd be happy." Grumman muttered.
"Grandfather, I don't understand, you want this marriage to work…that's why you set us up."
"I was gravely mistaken, I thought it would be best, I don't like seeing you unhappy, Riza, it's your own will to find your own happiness." The general walked near the window and stared at the surroundings.
"I have one question, general." The flame alchemist finally spoke when he scanned the paper with his onyx orbs.
"Go ahead."
"Do you have a pen?" Mustang asked.
"Yes—"Grumman searched his pockets and found a blue colored fountain pen. "Here," he handed the pen to the colonel.
"Thank you, sir." He smiled as he gratefully took the pen and signed it.
"What are you doing, Roy?" Hawkeye said in disbelief.
"If you really love someone then you must set him/her free." Roy sighed as he stood up. "I have work to do, sir." He told the general and Grumman nodded.
"See you later, lieutenant." He closed the door behind him.
"It also needs your signature, dear." Riza's grandfather reminded her.
"I-I—can I do it later?" the blonde stammered.
"I suppose." He gave her the papers.
"Grandfather—"
"Your welcome, dear." The general cut her off. Riza slightly twitched; she wasn't going to thank him for this!
She just smiled at her relative before leaving the office. As she made her way through the hallway, every military personnel stared at her. The first lieutenant reached the office in a matter of minutes since her grandfather's office was not to far way from their office.
"Lieutenant is it true?" Havoc abruptly began to ask.
'Oh God, why do they know about the divorce papers?' Riza thought.
"Is it true that you aren't going to go to North anymore?" the second lieutenant asked once again. Riza's face fell and she gave a collective sigh, she thought Roy had told them about the 'Papers'.
"No." she smiled.
"That's great to hear," Fury added and she nodded as he positioned herself on her desk which was beside Roy's.
"Lieutenant, start working." The flame alchemist ordered her.
"With what sir?" she puzzled, he tossed a folder on her desk.
"What? Since when do I do paperwork?"
"Ever since you called me colonel." He smirked slyly.
"Harsh," Jean Havoc commented.
The blonde slightly frowned. "Fine, let's have it your way, colonel."
'I can't wait to sign those divorce papers!' she angered as she placed her hand on her lap when she realized the envelope wasn't there. She gulped when she saw it in the hands of her superior.
"I can't believe you chickened out—"Roy smirked as he saw Riza signature not present. He turned to see she was staring at him blushing from embarrassment.
"Are you lusting over me, lieutenant?" he cocked his eyebrow.
The flushed lieutenant grabbed the paper back from him. "I wasn't lusting over you!"
"Good Morning!!!" A happy lieutenant colonel barged in with a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Ooh, what's this?" out of curiosity, Hughes grabbed the paper from Riza's slim hands.
"Give that back!" the first lieutenant tried to get the paper but Hughes kept swinging the paper up and down.
Maes' eyes widened. "A DIVORCE!"
The blonde slapped her forehead. All Mustang's subordinates turned to Hughes' attention with their mouths gaped open.
"Yes…" Riza cleared her throat and grabbed the paper back.
"You can't be serious!" the lieutenant colonel told the lieutenant.
"Well grandfather is anyway." She replied.
"You mean Grumman did this? Why? He set the two of you up in the first place…"
The flame alchemist scoffed and everyone turned their heads to him. "He said he didn't like his granddaughter 'unhappy'."
"I see so it's your fault." The chain-smoking lieutenant blurted. Roy twitched.
"Yeah it probably is." Fury nodded in agreement.
"The colonel is always messing things up." Breda concluded. The colonel twitched even more.
"IT ISN'T MY FAULT!" Roy pounded his fist on the desk.
"How isn't it your fault? You must've called her the 'ugliest bitch' in the world and you wanted her grandfather's fortune." Hughes told his best friend.
"Yes. His ex-girlfriend told me." The blonde explained. "I despise gold diggers…" she threw a death glare at her spouse.
"I am not a gold-digger—before I was but then a realized something else…I wanted something even more."
"You want my grandfather's position?" Hawkeye spat.
He shook his head. "I wanted to win your heart."
"Too bad you've already lost it." She retorted.
"Why are you so cold to me?!" Roy questioned her.
"It's because I LOVE YOU! If only you hadn't said that—If only I hadn't met you then I would be happy!" tears fell from her amber orbs, she covered her mouth and ran out of the office.
Riza ran past the people in the hallway until she reached the outside and leaned against the tree crying uncontrollably.
"…whoa." The cigarette fell out of Havoc's mouth.
Roy felt a hand on his shoulder. "Go after her, cowboy." Maes patted his shoulder and left the office.
----------
The first lieutenant was accompanied by her Shiba Inu outside the headquarters, the little pup looked at his mistress whose eyes were red and puffy.
"It's going to rain, you better get inside…" a voice muttered.
"What are you doing here?" droplets of water fell on her face as the heavens grew dark, covering the gold of the sun. She knew he hated rain very much since he was more compatible with fire because it was his element.
The State Alchemist sat down beside Riza, the rain poured hard; the blonde's hair grew damp as his raven hair bathed with rain.
"Roy. Get inside." She ordered him.
"Last time I checked I was your superior." The rain grew stronger and the two were really wet this time, black Hayate ran inside the headquarters for shelter. The tree they were under in was no good, its branches were to thin and the leaves weren't visible since it wasn't the time of season.
The lieutenant's barrette slipped off her damp hair, her locks fell on her shoulders as the rain poured. She looked over at Roy who seemed to have no worries, he looked very relaxed.
"Seriously, go inside before you get sick." Riza told her superior.
"I won't unless you forgive me and throw those divorce papers away." The raven haired colonel responded.
"There's no way I'm going to—"
"Did you know alchemists die when they get exposed to their weakness?"
Riza bit her lip. 'Is he really going to die?' she worried as she shook her head. "You can't die from that!"
"Oww…the pain…" he wheezed while he coughed and fell to the ground.
"Roy!" she shook his body. "Roy don't do this to me!! I forgive you, I'll even throw the papers away my self! See?" The first lieutenant tore the wet paper into pieces.
"Please don't do this to me!!"
Mustang rose from the ground. "Okay you since you forgive me."
"But I thought you said you'd die when you're exposed to—" The blonde said. "YOU'RE SUCH A BASTARD!!" she slapped him on the shoulder and he laughed.
"You know you're really cute that way…all angry…" he cupped her chin as she flushed red. He firmly pressed his lips against hers causing her to flinch a bit. Her heart raced and her mind went completely blank, her anger towards him disappeared , she snaked her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
----------------
"Sweet." Havoc smirked as he spotted the two sharing a kiss under the rain from the second-story window in the office.
"I better get my camera!" Maes' smiled evilly as he took several shots of the two making out.
--------------
"So does this mean I'm forgiven?" he pulled away and smirked.
"But that doesn't change the fact that you are a bastard." She breathed heavily.
"Yeah I know I'm a real bastard." Roy pressed his lips against hers again.
