Chapter Twelve
Home and a confrontation
"Illusion Alchemist," the raven haired colonel placed his hand under his chin and scoffed. "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, since that bastard is here, I'll just have to take Riza elsewhere, somewhere where no one can hurt her again."
"Will she agree on this?" Hughes cocked his eyebrow.
"…I don't know." Roy replied, honestly. "It's worth a shot."
The kitchen door suddenly swung open and a certain blonde first lieutenant made her way in the living room, her hands trembled, as the two mugs of coffee followed her movement. She settled the mugs on the mahogany coffee table.
"Thank you, Riza." The colonel smiled at his wife and sipped the hot cup.
"Thanks for having me over at a time like this, lieutenant; I hope I'm not causing any trouble for you." Maes watched the blonde sit beside her husband on the fluffy yellow couch.
"Its fine, Maes really, a friend of Roy's is always welcome." she told the lieutenant colonel.
"…I…uh…Riza, I was wondering if…" Mustang began.
"If what?" the blonde woman's gaze immediately focused on her beloved.
"If you'd like to go on a vacation." He continued.
"Certainly not, I have to finish my paperwork and—"
"I asked permission from the authorities, they allowed my request. " Roy cut in.
"What? Why would you do that?" the first lieutenant confused.
"We need to get away from Central."
"Why? I can't just leave this city."
Hughes smirked and watched the couple in amusement as he picked up his mug and gulped the content.
"In this city, we can't do anything, there's not enough 'we' time here, Riza, there's no you and me. It's all business. I—just please, Central is bullshit. Let's take a vacation, you and me, no subordinates, no paperwork no grandfather telling you what to do, what do you say?" Roy gripped on her hand as she longingly stared at his onyx orbs.
She didn't know whether it was herself or her heart in control. She nodded.
"You—will? Yes! Thank you, Riza, you won't regret it." He hugged his wife as a smiled formed over her lips. The lieutenant colonel brought out his camera and captured the moment.
It wasn't long when Roy and Riza found themselves in a very long train ride that was two hours long and the flame alchemist leaned on his subordinate's shoulder and feel asleep. She sighed. Sometimes the colonel will never ever grow up. By the time they reached their destination, the blonde shook her husband in order to wake him. "Roy, wake up we're here."
"mmm…make me sleep a little longer…mommy." He muttered. The colonel felt his eyes flutter open and stretched his arms.
"Where are we?" Riza had a strange feeling about the place they were in; it felt so…familiar…
"I'm surprised you couldn't tell." He grabbed the luggage underneath the train seats and briskly walked out of the train followed by his lieutenant.
The first lieutenant's eyes blinked and suddenly memories of her childhood flashed before her eyes, Memories of her father and memories of her deceased mother. It was the place she grew up, the place she left years ago and the place where she met the love of her life.
They stopped in front of an old cottage; it was empty and looked like it had been abandoned for quite sometime.
"What's the matter? You don't seem happy like I had expected you to be." Roy frowned as he dropped the luggage in front of the doorstep.
"…Of all the places, you had to pick this." Riza shook her head as her bangs covered her eyes that were filled of regret and loneliness.
"A little girl once told me that this was her home that she'd never leave. She was a flame alchemist's daughter,"
"That little girl you speak of is no longer existent." She painfully replied. "Home is a word full of crap, home is where I felt alone, home is where I lost mom and dad. You can never bring them back if that's what you want to prove."
"I know I can never bring Hawkeye-sensei and his wife back, but that wasn't the reason I brought you here." Colonel Mustang said. "This place means a lot to you and me, you know it." He placed his hand on her shoulder. "Think about it." Roy went past his wife, leaving her some time to herself.

Central Head Quarters
Inside the building, a group of children crowded around the famous Illusion alchemist. He was performing tricks like pulling a white rabbit out of his hat or pulling a long handkerchief out of his sleeve. The children were amazed and watched him in awe.
"Hey mister, that's a pretty cool trick, where'd you learn to do that? Magic is so cool!" a brown haired kid asked.
"It's not magic, dear child, its alchemy." Willis answered with a smug grin.
"Alchemy? Wow! So what kind of alchemist are you, Mister?"
"Illusion alchemist is what they call me I believe." Sean Willis answered conceitedly.
"So you know the flame alchemist? I think he's real cool!"
"You mean colonel Mustang? Pssh, I kick his ass all the time!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Willis, the General calls you in his office." A soldier saluted.
"Thank you, sergeant." The blue haired-alchemist grinned and trailed behind the sergeant who led him to General Grumman's office.
The soldier opened the door for him as the Illusion alchemist entered. "Sir, I heard you called for me."
"Yes," Grumman turned his swivel chair. "I wanted to congratulate you for passing the alchemic exams."
"Thank you, General."
"So I heard the commotion at the cafeteria with my granddaughter's husband." The old man cocked his eyebrow.
"You're Miss Riza's grandfather?" Sean smirked.
"That is precise, on to the subject, young man, the cafeteria?" the general crossed his arms and redundantly stared at the new recruit.
"Ah yes, of course sir."

The colonel leaned against the tree his eyes were about to shut until his subordinate stood before him.
"I have thought about what you said." She muttered. "The place does seem a lot to me."
Roy stood on his feet. "…I knew sooner or late you would say that, lieutenant."
"Let's go home, Roy." The blonde smiled as she extended her hand. (A/n: she's referring to the cottage.)
"…Will do," He happily took her hand; they were going home, to a place called home.
