By: SakuraTearDrop

A/n: First and Last update of this story for the year 2008. Awesome. But not so awesome since I've been stressed out …please enjoy this chappie!

Chapter Fourteen

Leaving so soon?

A week passing by seemed like a year for the Colonel, a week ago they have been phoned by General Grumman. He ordered them to return immediately to Central and to stop 'slacking off'. Of course Roy protested to the idea but Riza…well let's just say she was glad to be back in the office.

The flame alchemist loved the fact he was just there to doze off; he slumped his back against the chair, crossed his arms and shut his eyes. He was just about to fall asleep until his first lieutenant slammed her fist on his desk.

"…Did I do something wrong?" Roy was now fully awake with his gaze affixed on his subordinate.

The blond woman shook her head, "I wanted to give you this." She took his hand and placed a white envelope on it.

"A resignation letter?" It could be evident through his deep set of onyx eyes that he was troubled.

Mustang bowed his head and clenched his fist.

"You're making a mistake. I'm not approving this,"

"It has already been approved by the General. I just thought you'd like to know."
"…Riza, don't do this." The chair screeched as the raven-haired alchemist stood.

She remained still with an unfathomable expression, "Don't be selfish …"

A pair of arms encircled around her waist; Roy was hugging her from behind. "…I just hope you know what you are doing." He whispered against her hair.

I wanted to do this because I know it's for the better. I don't know exactly how it will be better…but without me…I want you to live your life happy. I want you to find someone else." Her voice was trembling when it came to that part; she apologized before dashing out of the office, leaving him astounded. He clutched his heart as it pounded wildly, forcing him to chase after her. She ran with tears escaping her eyes not wanting to look back, he reached for her questioning her what suddenly made her say those words… He fell for her. Call it an accident. Love comes in mysterious ways, but this was not an accident. It was destiny…Why was she going to leave him all of a sudden? Has it really come to this in the end? Whatever came up, he wasn't going to let her go.

"NO! RIZAAAAAA!" His eyes grew wide-open, beads of sweat traced down his forehead. Roy blinked twice and sighted his environment, he was in the office and Riza was busy doing some work on her table.

All five off his subordinates whipped their heads towards the direction where the scream came from. Heysman quickly turned around, trying hard not to laugh but he miserably failed and joined Fury, Falman and Havoc in their snickering. The office was now filled with laughter while Mustang's cheeks turned beet red in embarrassment.

"Put a sock on it, ladies." Hawkeye's nasty glare caused the laughter to cease. Her co-officers could be a tad bit stupid sometimes especially her superior. Ever since they've gotten back to Central today all he did was snooze in his comfy chair with his legs rested on his desk. The blond rubbed her fingers against her temple when she caught a glimpse of her husband. 'Stupid colonel.' Shaking her head disapprovingly.

The flame alchemist regained his composure once he realized he only fell asleep. Thank God. With a loud yawn, he crossed his arms and slumped his back against the chair and shut his eyes. He was just about to fall asleep until his first lieutenant slammed her fist on his desk.

"…Did I do something wrong?" Roy was now fully awake with his gaze affixed on his subordinate.

The blond woman shook her head, "I wanted to give you this." She took his hand and placed a white envelope on it.

"Riza…are you sure you know what you're doing?" he gulped. Hoping, that he was still dreaming.

Her ruby eyes remained still on his, "Yes,"

Roy closed his eyes and took her words to his heart. 'This can't be happening!'

"Colonel?"

Damn it, he thought. What was he supposed to do? Was she really going to resign? He didn't want to let her go…never.

"Colonel! Are you going to take it or not?" Impatience gets her most of the time.

"Right," The raven-haired soldier took a deep breath and swiped the envelope right out of her hands. Two seconds later he snapped his fingers with his ignition gloves on and soon the envelope caught in fire. Riza's eyes widened and so did her subordinates.

"Oh no…" she gasped, cupping her mouth.

"I know what you're thinking, I'm really selfish."
"Col—"
"Don't bother interrupting me, Riza, I love you and you know that and I'm never letting you go!"

"Roy!" She hissed.

"I'm sorry. But I'm not letting you go. Selfish it may sound but I'm not going to read your resignation letter and approve of it!"

The first lieutenant didn't say anything more and watched the enveloped perish in flames. "Resignation?" she questioned him. "You idiot! I wasn't going to resign! That was an application form for the candidacy for the new fuehrer!"

"Oh." The colonel managed to say.

"Ooohhhh!" He nodded and analyzed the ashes on his table before screaming. "SHIIIT! MY FUTURE!" He pounded his desk. "There must be more application forms right?"

His subordinates shook their heads.

"Damn it! Damn it!" He cried out loud.

"This is the result of your doing…that was the last one, chief, Lieutenant Hawkeye here practically had to wrestle the crowd." Second lieutenant Havoc replied.

The silly things, he does for love. He couldn't care less if for the position as fuehrer as long as she wasn't going to leave. Besides, it wouldn't be the same without her ruling by his side. He'd rather lose his dream than lose the one he loved. Thus, there was a better future waiting for him…Riza Hawkeye.

"So you weren't going to resign?"

The blond merely raised her eyebrow at him, "No. Why would I—"

Her words were muffled when he grabbed her and wrapped his arms around her tightly. For some reason, it suddenly grew silent in the office and all eyes were on the two figures. Havoc couldn't believe what he was seeing and chuckled to himself silently.

"W-what are you doing!" she stammered as her cheeks grew red from embarrassment. The flame alchemist continued to ignore his subordinate and instead tightened his grasp on her.

"G-g-get back to work!" Riza scolded the four men staring at them in awe but to her disappointment, they didn't listen. She tried squirming in his arms but he wouldn't budge.

"I'm never letting you go, I want you to be with me until the end."

His female subordinate stopped struggling in order to reply.

"Who ever said I was going anywhere?"

Hello readers of Accidentally In Love,

I've been quite busy lately and a bit lazy. So I seek your forgiveness, had I not been slacking off, I would've updated quickly. I guess I'm not in the mood. My fangirling for this pairing is rotting like a month old apple left on the counter. So tell me, what shall I do to restore my Royai-ism? Anyone out there, please tell me so I can continuously write. I am desperate to her your suggestions and recommendations on that matter. Until then, please don't forget to drop a review! In the mean time the status of this story will be complete. Unless of course, you guys want more.

Sincerely Yours,

SakuraTeardrop
