Chapter Thirteen
Retreating in my little Sanctuary
As the Illusion Alchemist strode out of the general's office, his heart pounded with anxiety. Was he really going to be expelled from the military just because of that insignificant incident? To him, nothing mattered except his position as a state alchemist. It was more to it than having that shiny pocket watch and crisp blue military uniform—it was his position in the military as lieutenant colonel!
"Damn that Grumman…who does that think he is? So what if I played with Riza's emotions? So what if I made her dead daughter appear in the middle of the road! I didn't ask her to throw herself in the middle of the road!" Sean muttered something that seemed to be profanity. "Damn it!" He slammed his fist against the wall.
"That might cause an ugly dent on the wall…" Second lieutenant Havoc warned, his voice was somewhat muffled with the lit cigarette hanging on the corner of his mouth. "Not only are you going to be fired but you're also going to be sued." He laughed heartlessly.
The alchemist glared at the inferior officer beside him, "Smoking inside the head quarters is prohibited, Mister Havoc." He put emphasis on the word prohibited.
"You're no longer the boss of me Willis." Havoc waved a hand in front of Sean's pale face.
"And what makes you think I'm getting fired, lieutenant?" The cobalt-haired alchemist suppressed a smile, desperately maintaining his cool.
"Well for one, when you came out of the office you looked constipated…" The dirty- blonde burst out laughing. "Instead of coming out of an office you looked like you just came from the men's room…" he paused then again chuckled, his lit cigarette fell from the side of his mouth and unto the cold marble floor. The cigarette then burned itself to ashes and caused a mess on the floor.
"Right," Willis rolled his eyes at Havoc's stupidity and left without any further word to the idiot.

Roy's eyes immediately opened his eyes upon smelling something so heavenly. What was that aroma that led him to awaken? He excitedly hopped out of bed and ascended briskly down the stairs then into the kitchen where he saw his lieutenant mixing a substance in a pot.
In the corner of her eye she spotted him with his mouth watering and smiled. "I never imagined you as an early bird."
"What's cooking?" the raven-haired alchemist asked with his onyx eyes glinting. Eying the stew or whatever it was.
"Oh it's some ingredients I found in dad's rotting fridge."
The smile on his eager face disappeared and was replaced with a frown of disgust. "….Riza…."
The blonde started laughing her heart out. "I was kidding. You didn't expect me to go on a vacation without food in hand would you?"
"Oh." She could've sworn his face turned scarlet at that time.
"This house brings so much memories." The first lieutenant took a bowl from the cupboard---which she had washed at first. After taking the bowl she lifted up the ladle that carried an affixed amount of soup and poured it on the glass bowl and handed it to her husband.
"Thanks." Mustang peered at the soup; he seemed a bit hesitant to chug down the contents.
"It's safe,"
"Yeah." Roy nodded and sipped the hot steaming soup. "Aren't you eating?" he looked up.
"No, I'm good…" The blonde woman replied as she switched off the gas stove. "I…I…" Her vision was suddenly becoming blurry…then right before she was about to fall she heard glass shattering. In a swift movement, Roy caught her in his arms. "Riza! Are you alright."
"I feel so sleepy, Roy…" she muttered.
"That's because you exhaust yourself to much." His tone was full of worry; he lifted her off the ground and cradled her like an infant.
He carried her to the bedroom and lay her on the bed, she seemed to have fallen asleep because her eyes shut tight and she lay there peacefully, unmoving. Roy admired her beauty and just stood there for a few minutes, he bent down and brushed a stray hair on her face and stood up again. He stopped when he felt her grab his hand.
"I'm sorry." She apologized.
"For what?" The flame alchemist sat on the soft cushion. "Whatever it is I'm sure it's---"
"I was prepared to die…When I realized that it really wasn't Emily standing there in the middle of the road. I just wanted to die. I would give my life up---my mind went blank I forgot about everyone and only thought of my welfare..." Hawkeye trailed off.
"Anyone would've done that." The colonel reached for her hand and gripped on it tightly.
"…Roy, I promise not to leave you ever…I swear…I love you…" she gripped his hand tighter then her eyes shut and her grip loosened.
He leaned in and kissed her forehead and whispered against her cheek. "Sleep well, Riza, when you wake up, I'll still be here."
It wasn't long when Roy felt his thoughts clouded and soon fell into deep slumber beside his love.
