Ok, back to the story, I guess I can't blame you people if you forgot the previous chapter, so instead of clicking that button and sneaking on the previous one, here's the last paragraphs. Hope it's helpful enough! 

…"Is it gone." he asked his subordinate in front of him. "…..uhm, yes….. sir." she replied with a blush.

Then they realized their positions, their distances from one another, and how Roy was holding her hand. Roy suddenly realized how cute she looked like in a near distance, and couldn't help but go nearer and nearer…

When………

"Hey there Mustang!!! I'm back with uh…" Edward Elric was shock seeing the Roy Mustang, holding Riza Hawkeye's hand and how close they were, when they suddenly went far away from each other, with a hint of pink on their faces. Were they going to do something I wasn't supposed to see?

…there… I guess that is helpful enough to refresh that memory of yours. With no more further ado, here is the update you are waiting for… Enjoy….:D

Silence fell between them all, the air getting denser as seconds passed.

Roy, was manly enough to speak first. "Full…metal. Do you need anything? Any question?

His stern voice woke Edward back to reality. He went nearer and nearer to the small guy.

"Uhm… actually. I was going to give this report about the criminal case you were talking about the last time we met, but since I guess I was disturbing, so gotta go!" his voice quickened and was ready to run out when his jacket was held tight by the flame alchemist.

"You're not going anywhere Fullmetal." He said firmly looking at him, face to face. Riza took the advantage to go out, before anything happens or any intriguing questions are about to be asked.

"Good thing you're done with your report" Roy started as he went back to his chair and sat comfy as if nothing happened, then he looked at the opposite chair, signaling Edward to sit on the chair.

"But it doesn't give you any power to go spying on people, you're not a kid anymore. Learn to respect-

"Why the hell would I spy on you, creep! I knocked tons of times but you didn't answer so I decided to leave the paper on your desk but instead, I guess you were too busy making o-"

"Why the hell would you think we were making out, Fullmetal?" his voice a bit higher, as he stood up looking at the little fellow in front.

"By the looks on your face, it looks like you were lusting for each other." Ed's eyebrow were sticking together as he stood too, trying to reach the eye level of Mustang.

Roy then sighed deeply. "You may go, for as long this won't go out of these four cornered room. Is that clear Fullmetal?" his eyes looking straight to his.

"Yeah, whatever." He said carelessly.

"Because if it does, I'm going to hit you back harder." Roy said with an evil grin.

Edward was about to go out when something ran on his mind.

"I thought you have a girlfriend? Why are you still hooking up with Lt. Hawkeye." He asked

"I'm not 'hooking' up with her Fullmetal, so get out of here." He said with his voice croaking

"I mean, aren't you satisfied with your girlfriend? You see, it seems like you're giving hope to the lieutenant, if ever she does like you. But, you do know the rules." He said as he fixed his coat.

"That is why I'm trying my best to go to the top to change the rules!" his voice went up with all his unnecessary questions, causing him to blurt out the truth. "I meant… for the better, nothing else. We are just friends, nothing else. I have no feelings for her, shorty. I guess that satisfies you," he said with his voice getting calmer.

"I do hope so…" Fullmetal grinned with the newly found info.

"Hope what?" Roy said, getting his posture back to normal.

"Hope you can change the rules, for your better life. I got my own life, and my goal." He said as he went out.

"I do hope so, kid." He murmured to himself and sat down sullenly.

"Edward Elric." Hawkeye called out and went nearer. "May we talk?"

"Oh, gee, I still have to meet someone lieutenant, maybe next-

"Now." Hawkeye pulled him dragging him quick yet silent in the nearest janitor's closet.

She sighed deeply, loud enough to be heard around the room.

"Can you promise me not to tell anyone about what you saw." She asked.

"About what? Oh, you mean about you and Mr. Sarcastic making out in his office?" he said with a smirk.

"We weren't making out, idiot!" she said with fury, took a mop, and hit him, causing a big lump on his head.

"Then why the hell were you there with him and doing something?'

"We always stay there and do something!" she said then her facial expression changed.

"So you admit you always make out with him?" he said as he started to chuckle.

"I said it wrong, ok! What I mean is that we do our work but we are together." Her face starting to stress.

"Is that work, as in work, or work as in other type of work?" This time, Riza through a box of floor wax on him.

"Paperwork, work." She said clearly, explaining it to him slowly.

"but really, if you don't like him, why didn't you hesitate."

"I don't know why he was going to do that. I felt like a rock, just sit there and wait."

"Don't tell me you're going to be a dog too, even in your private life." He said with an eyebrow raised.

This made her silent. She can't tell to the shorty, can she?

"Because… I wanted it too." she told him with her face on her knees and a sad expression painted on her face.

This surprised Ed so much. It wasn't that predictable that she'll love him.

"You mean you LOVE him!!!!" he said with his eyes so wide

"Do you still have to ask that?" she asked sarcastically.

This made Ed think deeper. Deep inside I know Mustang has feelings for her too. And the only thing that breaks them is because of that stupid law, fraternization.

"But if you did love him, then why didn't you kiss him?" he asked.

"Simple." She smirked. "Because you came in." she smiled sarcastically.

"Right." He said with a humiliated face.

"But even though you didn't come in, I would still stop. But if I'll stop, he might think I don't… love him. But if I continued to show what I truly feel, I'll end up… destroying his dream." she said with a confused mind.

"Destiny will guide." Ed said sympathetically.

"Why am I telling this to you? You shouldn't know about this, you're just a kid." She said with a hint of pink on the cheeks.

"I'm no kid anymore! I'm a young adult! Kids… are small!!!"

"Fine, young adult that is. But promise me not to blab about this." She said with pleading eyes.

"Of course. At least you're open enough to tell me this things. Mr. Asshole wasn't."

Then , a dust pan went flying hitting his head once more.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Mustang- I meant Lt. Hawkeye. I forgot." He said as he slowly massaged his head.

"I heard everything he told you. He… is telling the truth, alright."

"I doubt it! He does love! He said he wanted to change the rules-!"

"-because he doesn't want anymore killings, that's all."

"You are such a pessimist. Don't give up on him." He said with a cheering smile.

"I'll try to… wait, I guess." She said with an enlightened expression.

"Of course you should. But I'm telling you, Mustang's is a big chick magnet. He maybe that tempting, but let's not forget the fact that he has a girlfriend. You might just hurt yourself in the end."

These words made Riza unspoken for a while.

"He's not the only magnet around." She proclaimed with a grin.

"You mean you're a boy magnet. Please…" he said boastfully with a hint of sarcasm.

"Why, do you think I don't have the charms to deserve the title." She said with a different tone.

"I guess so, why, have you ever asked anyone out?" he said with challenge.

"No, but I made a few boys ask me out."

"Really, even in the military. Or just a few nerds before."

"Do you believe that Havoc had the guts to ask me out." This made Ed hung his lower jaw in the air.

"Believe it or not, he asked me out, as well as the whole gang. But I turned them down." She said boastfully.

"I don't believe you. The great Hawkeye, being asked out by men!"

"You want a sample, kid?" she said in a persuading tone.

"What sample? How? Who would be the hamster then?" he asked hastily.

She looked around with her index finger near her chin.

"Who else? We're just alone." She said teasingly.

His eyes went wide and narrow. This isn't the Hawkeye I know. She's so… tempting…?

Then the door open wide, that light went in too much, and by the way, there's a light in the room.

"Look who's hiding." Lt. Ross said with a wide grin.

"I NEVER expected you Lt. Hawkeye to toy around with a kid."

"I was just asking him something Lt. Ross."

"Why not outside?" she asked the other woman daringly.

"Because it was private." Her voice starting to change and irritated.

"Something like you and Lt. Colonel Mustang were doing something unimaginable?" she asked deviously.

"Why on Earth would be our topic?" asked Riza

"Because I heard everything! Which isn't my fault." She said in a joking way.

"Why the hell are you here in the first place?" Lt. Hawkeye asked.

"Because I was going to get some of my hidden reports here. I usually throw them here and pretend I lost it , so Major Armstrong would give an extension." She announced with pride.

"Do you know I could tell that to your superior officer?" she said smartly.

Lt. Ross hushed for a while and smiled.

"Why not. Tell him, then I'll tell everyone about you and the colonel, then you and Ed staying here in the janitor's room." She informed. "But I could keep it a secret, if you'll keep this as a secret."

"fine. No one will know anything about this, ok." She said hardheartedly.

"Sure Ms. Magnet who's seducing Edward." She said as she slowly walked away.

"I was not seducing him!" she announced, but good thing break was over and everyone was back in the office.

Lt. Ross looked back and smiled.

"Then why on earth did you sound like you were seducing him."

This made Lt. Hawkeye blush a little.

"He just won't believe about it. But it's true!"

"So you showed a sample of your so called 'charms' hmmm…" she asked with an evil tone.

"Just forget about it." She walked out and went back to the colonel's office.

"Just like a kid." Lt. Ross said as she slowly departed from the area.

Ed sighed quietly and left. "I hope I'm not late."

A few minutes later, Riza Hawkeye got back safely to the office and was surprised that everyone was present, except for Havoc. She looked at the clock and saw that she was fifteen minutes late.

"Second Lt. Hawkeye, where've you been?" Fury asked as he secretly bit a cupcake on his hand while the colonel was not looking.

"Outside. Just took some air." She said as she coolly sat down, then looked at the Roy who was actually doing his work. He suddenly felt her gaze that he knew she was looking at him, so he looked at her and smiled a little.

This made her blush a bit then returned a smile and went to work fast. The pink color was still visible on her whitish cheeks, which made people wonder, while she worked.

"Uhm, Hawkeye. I took care already of Fullmetal's, report, ok." He informed her, thinking that she might still be worried about the incident.

"Fullmetal? The colonel doesn't inform her of every report he does or receive. In fact, he even hides some to escape from work. Which means…" Havoc thought as he looked at the far part of the blue sky.

"this is getting better and better." He talked to himself and smirked evilly.

"Is something disturbing you, Havoc?" Hawkeye made him snap out of his wildest imaginations.

"Nothing, nothing at all." He smirked badly, which made her more curious about this.

"why? Is something disturbing you. You look a bit blushed today. Especially when you talk to the colonel." He said teasingly to her, making her a bit redder. Therefore, she went back to what she was previously doing.

The others just giggled about Havoc's little theories.

"Go back to work." She said a bit irritated.

LuNcH tImE………………………….. 

Ed was eating with Al in the cafeteria in the ground floor. Ed was staring in space when his spaghetti in his spoon fell on his pants.

"Great." He whispered as he took a tissue and wiped it.

"Brother, is something wrong?" Al asked with concern, seeing the looks in his brother's face.

"Dumb spaghetti in my pants, that's all." He said in a childish tone. This made Al chortle a bit.

"I don't think it's the spaghetti's fault to fall. You were careless. What's wrong?" He said with more concern.

"Nothing. Just a weird day." He said looking at his plate of spaghetti.

"Did you say a weird day!" Havoc, out of nowhere, surprised him, causing every bit of spaghetti to fall on his face due to Havoc's suddenly hard thump on the table. The noodles slowly trickled down on his face after that; an angry face was visible on Ed's face.

"What the hell was that for!!!!" He stood up and screaming, blowing his head off.

"Gee kid, I'm sorry kid. I didn't mean that. Sit down." Havoc said calmly before the commotion gets bigger.

"Then why on Earth did you have to do that?" he said in a bit calmer tone.

"I said I was sorry! So sit down already!" Havoc ordered him.

"I'm not going to sit."

"Look spaghetti face, I just want to discuss an important subject ordered by the Furher, and he's around watching you, so get your butt on the sit already. That made Fullmetal sits slowly.

"So what is it all about? Is it something to do with the Philosopher's stone?"

"Slight- no…"he said.

"Then what is it?" he said with all ears."

"What did you see in the office?" he said with a bit excitement.

"Office? Office where? Whose office?" he said, trying to pretend not knowing anything.

"You know what I mean? In the colonel's office." He said with a sly smirk while he repeatedly elbowed him.

"Huh? I don't know what you're saying second Lt.? Maybe they were just bad rumors."

"Please..!!! I'm not going to tell anyone…" he said with puppy eyes.

"Yeah brother. What is it? You said we won't be hiding anything to each other." Al butts in.

"Trust me. I don't know what the hell he's saying." He convincingly said.

Okay then. You want it the hard way… Havoc thought.

"You know, I was out a while ago, during break, I was late because I had to buy something near the coffee shop" Havoc shared to him. Ed suddenly choked in his own saliva.

"So… I really don't care much." He said confidently.

"Then I was walking, suddenly, my eyes were caught by two young fellow, sitting together, happily drinking cof-

"Okay that's enough. You got me there." Ed said, a bit pissed.

"So you're gonna share it or should I continue my story" Havoc said with twinkling eyes.

"I'll tell it to you, okay." Ed said.

"I was going to the colonel's office." He started, while the two listened attentively.

"Then, I knocked, and waited so long." He continued, and then he bit his lips.

"But I got pissed so I entered…" he sighed deeply.

"Then? Then? Then? Then what?"

"I saw them together. That's all." He finally ended, not completing the whole scene.

"They're always together. Come on Ed, I know there's something in there else. I want details!" Havoc begged.

"That's all. And I'm not good in detailing." He looked away.

"Oh… well, if that's really all, then I guess I'm going to share my story, with complete details." He smirked

"Oh come on Lt.! I told you what you're supposed to know!" Ed exclaimed.

"Why Ed? Do you think my story will affect you, especially when your brother is listening?" he asked.

"Stop hiding secrets from me!" Al cried out. (Not really, cry- cry you know)

"Alright! So they were together in the office!" Ed thumped.

"And I saw them really close…" he stopped.

"They were going to kiss, I guess. Because with the looks on their face, as if the colonel wanted her for so long, while Lt. Hawkeye just looked the same…" Ed said in a passionate way. Havoc was all tears in the news.

"But then, I came in… and they went away from one another." He sorrowfully announced.

"Why the hell did you come in?! They should be making out right now!" he said with a punch on the head.

"I said I was sorry." Ed said with childish tears.

"So is that good news or a bad news?" asked Al

"No" said Ed. "Yes!" said Havoc. They both said it in unison.

"Yes! Because this means that they love each other."

"No! Because Mustang might just be playing with the Lt.'s heart! Don't you see he's a flirt?" Ed said.

"Chief is not playing with the Lt.'s heart!"

"Yes he could be! He has a girlfriend!"

"Fine you want to bet?!" Havoc told him proudly. One way to earn money.

" Why not, Second Lt. Havoc" Ed said in a arrogant way.

"I bet she'll wear a miniskirt!" Havoc bet

Ed just fell from his chair.

"What on Earth does that have to do with our subject?" Ed asked.

"If she wears, Mustang loves her, and I win." Havoc informed.

"but if she doesn't wear, he doesn't, and I win." Ed said.

"Whoever loses, must hit Hawkeye on her rear." He said with a wide grin.

"what the hell! You're such a pervert! You know I could lose my certification if I did that." He said frantically.

"Fine. 10 box." Havoc offered. This is when Ed agreed, than to hit her, which is very risky.

"So where do we place this?" asked Havoc, holding the money. Both of them had the strangest idea, but since they agreed on it seeing the looks on their faces, they placed it in Al's body.

"It feels so creepy…" al informed.

It's going to be alright Al, no harm. Come on, let's go" Ed said as he looked at his pocket watch.

"Gotta go kiddo. Don't touch that money." Havoc warned and left.

Meanwhile… Roy and Riza decided to eat lunch together.

They sat opposite each other, with nearly the same kind of food on both plates.

"so colonel…." She said

Roy raised his head from eating his spaghetti and smiled.

"Yes?" he replied

"do you think Edward would-"

"I believe he won't, because I talked to him already. Besides, because if he does, let's consider it as rumors."

Hawkeye just gave a gentle smile and continued eating. Mustang continued too and they chatted as well.

Suddenly, Riza accidentally let go off her fork.

"Sheeesh, I'm sorry." She said as she slowly was about to pick it up.

"Here. I'll get one for you." Roy offered as she took the dirty spoon and went to get another.

"That was unexpected. What was that for?" she asked herself and smile inwardly.

While Mustang was taking one fork from the canteen….

"I heard that Edward Elric was seen with Hawkeye in the Janitor's room." A man said.

"No way! The first Lt. Hawkeye, and the Fullmetal?" the other man said.

"Yes. Straight from the source. She told me that she saw them in there, and Hawkeye was like flirting with Edward Elric" the first man said.

What the hell… Roy thought.

"Then, she told me that Ed was talking to her, giving some sort of advice to her."

"Really?"

"Yeah. He was even concerned about something top secret that Ross won't tell me."

Roy already had enough pain in the head for the day so he shook his head and went back to the table.

Why on Earth would EDWARD do that… and Riza… flirting!!!

"Here's your fork Riza." He said and gave it to her gently.

"Thank you very much sir, but I don't see the reason why you had to do that." She said.

"My own instincts." He answered with a warm smile.

After eating, they went back to the office and Roy Mustang summoned Fullmetal.

"You called for me?"

"Oh yes, if you won't mind. Let's have a talk outside." He said as he dragged him outside, ;eaving the whole gang and Riza hanging.

"Another top secret?" Ed asked.

"Nope." Roy answered with his arms crossed.

"Philosopher stone?" Ed asked again

"Try again." He said

"Report?"

"Nuh uh…" he said.

"Is this a guessing game or what? Is something wrong?"

"Bingo!" he said.

"It's a guessing game…"

"no, something's wrong." He said.

"What? I don't find anything wrong?"

"But I do. I heard a rumor…." Roy began.

"About the Philosopher's Stone?"

"No. I heard that you and Hawkeye were seen in the janitor's room."

This made Edward a bit blushed.

"Yes we were…" he honestly answered.

"Something happened with you and my Riza?" he said with narrow eyes on him.

"Of course not!!! I'm not a pervert like you!" he confirmed.

" But why was she flirting you? And why were you concerned about our little secret?" he said

"She was not flirting me. It can't be avoided to be concerned about someone"

"So they weren't true?" he said with a stern voice.

"No, and by the way, did you say MY RIZA?" he asked with a wide beam.

He became quiet for a while. "No, you're just hallucinating." He said.

"Fine she's YOUR RIZA! YOUR RIZA! YOUR RIZA!" he kept teasing.

"Will you be quiet?" he got angry.

"She is yours. And by the way, you're not just friends…"

Mustang looked back and raised an eyebrow.

"There are some things you still don't know about her. For her, you're not just a commanding officer, nor just a friend." He said as he walked away. Roy just stood out there.

What was that suppose to mean?

After their discussion, Roy went back to his room…

"What was that all about?" Riza asked as she went near him to give her finished report.

"Just talked to Edward about a rumor?" he said serenely.

"What rumor?" she asked hastily.

"About Edward and you staying together in the janitor's room." He smiled.

She paused and she can feel a bit shy to him, knowing where they talked.

"Is it true?" he asked mildly.

"Yes sir. But I assure you nothing happened. His like, ten years younger than I do. I won't do any-

"I know Riza, I trust you." He smiled solemnly.

Soon they went home together, and Roy dropped her off in her house.

"Riza…" he said.

"About what happened a while ago…" he said.

"Yes sir,"

"There.. could.. be always a .. second chance, right?" he said to her with a flirty smirk and an unusual tone.

"huh.." was all she replied.

"good night." He said and left.

"A second chance?" she asked her self. Then she realized, a if he wanted to make an attempt once more.

Is he crazy? Next time? Maybe another human might see us again… But I wouldn't mind.

She told herself and smiled with the thought…

That really took me time typing! What a pain! So how is it? Comments? Suggestions or any violent reactions are accepted. But don't be that harsh… I also took effort on this…
