When I woke up it took me a while to understand my surroundings, I was on top of Roy as he was looking at me and stroking my hair.
"Good morning love, how did you sleep?" Roy asked and I felt my hart thud in my chest.
"G-good morning," I said and was embarrassed that I stammered, "I slept okay….you?"
"Great," he said and rolled on top of me, "are you nervous?"
I looked away uncomfortable, how does he do this to me? "No why would I be nervous?"
"Why would you stutter?"
"You called me love, I hope you realize I may work with guys all the time and hear them complain about their love life but I haven't had one of my own."
"I'm sorry Riza, if I never asked you to work with me…"
"I would have done it anyways, Roy it doesn't matter. I didn't really care if I was in a relationship because it would have never been with you, unless one of us sacrificed are jobs which I am completely against."
Roy smiled and stroked my cheek, "You're perfect."
"Hardly," I said and he leaned his face closer to mine and kissed my cheek, causing me to blush.
"That's so cute." Roy said wrapping his arms around me and rolling over so he was on his back again.
"Sure, are you hungry, I can make breakfast?"
"No it's okay sweetheart I'll cook." Roy said trying to get up
"Umm, no offense Roy but your cooking is crap."
"That is mean Riza, you are hurting my feelings and it has been years since you've had my cooking, I improved a lot." Roy gave me a pleading, childlike expression that he probably used on a lot of chicks to make them fall for him.
"Sorry Roy….maybe next time." I said and his eyes filled with hope making him seem more childlike.
"So for lunch I could cook," he asked excitedly.
"Well…wouldn't you want to wait until dinner, with lunch most of the time meals are considered soup, salad, or sandwiches so with dinner you'll have more cooking options and don't you want to take me on a date?" I started rambling trying to put off eating his food then realized it probably would have been better with soup, salad, or a sandwich and I knew he could even ruin that.
"That's a great idea, so where do you want to go? Do you have any favorite places you enjoy eating at?" Roy lifted me up sitting me beside him and sat up himself.
"I don't know, most of the time I cook all my meals most of the time, you can take me to whatever you think is good."
"Okay I will think about it, so what are you making for breakfast love?"
"Eggs and bacon, I don't know what do you want?"
"Eggs and bacon?" Roy asked excitedly and grabbed my arm yanking me up as he dragged me to the kitchen then let go, pecked me on the cheek, and went to my small living room. I heard Roy talking to Black Hayate but didn't feel like listening to what he was saying.

"You're an amazing cook you know that?" Roy said practically shoving the food down his throat.
"I guess but I can't tell how you'd know if my food taste good since you are inhaling it and not savoring it." After I finished saying that Roy was done and put his plate in the sink then walked over to me and waited for me to finish, making me feel uncomfortable.
"Can you not sit and stare at me?"
"Well it's only because I'm waiting till you're done eating so I can tell you something."
"And what's that?" I said putting the dish in the sink.
"That I love you with all my heart and soul." Roy said pushing me up against the counter and wrapping his arms around my waist and pushed his body closer bending his head down.
"R-Roy" I said almost breathlessly.
"Yes?" he asked then our lips met, I raked my hand threw his hair and was sad when he pulled away whishing it didn't end.
"I love you too" Roy smiled and pulled me to his body and kissed me again, letting it last longer this time.
"So Riza was I your first kiss?"
"Roy you kissed me back when my father was your teacher, the real question is was I yours?"
"Yes you were my dearest."
"Really, so even though you've had girls fawning over you your entire life you didn't kiss any of them until me? That is kind of sweet and romantic…it would be even more so if I was the only girl you ever kissed." I said happy and sad at the same time.
"I'm sorry Riza, at least all I did was kiss them, and I wanted my first kiss to be someone I cared about so I waited until I met you."
"You're amazing."
"And you even more so." Roy said smiling and nuzzled my cheek.
I smiled back, "Mind if I go take a shower?"
"Of course not…so how long am I allowed to stay here exactly?"
"For the rest of the day but you're not spending the night again."
Roy pouted, "Okay but I should probably go home to get new clothes."
"That sounds good, don't take too long."
"I won't" Roy said, hugging me and I kissed his cheek. "Bye"
"Goodbye." I said as he walked out the door.

I got dressed and brushed my hair then went into the living room and sat with Black Hayate. I pet the small dog waiting 15 minutes till Mustang got here, knocking on the door. I got up and opened it Roy was wearing a dark blue button down shirt, black pants and a black coat.
"Hey love, hope I didn't take too long." Roy said causing my heart to thud when he said love.
"You did but it's okay, as they say absence makes the heart grow fonder."
"Well if that's the case I should have taken longer, maybe I should leave and come back later."
I smiled, "And torture me testing my patience? How could you be so cruel?"
"You're amazing," Roy said, holding me and closing the distance, putting his lips to mine. His lips were forceful but loving against mine and inside I was warm and had a buzz of energy making my lips a little harsher against his. Roy pulled away but still held me close to him, "So do you want to go out?"
"Are you asking me to go out with you or to go outside?"
"Well now that you mention it both"
"Yes for both," I said and Roy opened the door and held it open for me, I walked out, "Thank you." I said somewhat uncomfortable about him opening the door for me, it's going to take a while for me being use to dating. Roy nodded and smiled, taking my hand and walking slowly again.
Roy and I walked around town for a while before we decided to stop at a café and order lunch.
"Anything you would like to drink?" asked a tall brunet waitress with hazel eyes asked looking at Roy and upsetting me.
"Lemonade," Roy said, the waitress smiled at him nodding causing me to roll my eyes.
"And you?" The waitress said looking at me in a not so kind fashion, I instantly thought of something mean to say and bit my tongue.
"Iced tea."
"Okay I will have it right away." She said and walked away, I studied the menu looking for something that sounded good.
"See anything you like yet?" Roy asked kindly, I felt kind of pressured and felt bad that he was using his money for my lunch.
I looked for the cheapest thing on the menu. Soup of the day, 3.59 "The soup of the day."
"Riza you don't even know what the soup of the day is, you have to ask the waiter. Don't choose something you don't want because it's cheap, ignore the prices and pick something you think you will like."
"I'm sorry," I said frowning and felt worse.
Roy sighed, "Want me to pick for you?"
"Yes please." I said with a sheepish smile.
"I love you." Roy said and my heart skipped several beats and blood rushed to my face.
"Uh…Roy I love you to." I said, uncomfortable voicing the words I have known where true for years now.

"So what exactly are you making?" I said to Roy who was in the kitchen making dinner.
"You will find out when I am cooking."
"But Roy," I said pleadingly
"Don't 'but Roy' me; you really need to work on your patience skills."
"This coming from the guy who drunk and surrounded himself with chicks because he was afraid he hold himself back from me."
"Yes but I did wait and now we are together."
I looked around Roy's house, "You are kind of proving my point." I said staring at a picture of Roy and Hughes.
"Frankly sweetheart I don't really care."
"Hey man!"
"Well that's adorable." Roy said standing in the threshold of the living room now, he walked up and pecked my cheek.
"You seem to love kissing me." I stated, Roy laughed.
"That is because I am making up for all the time I kissed girls that weren't you but should have been."
"You're really sweet sometimes."
"Sometimes?"
"Most of the time." I said he nodded and walked back into the kitchen.

"This is surprisingly okay." I said taking a bite of the pasta
"Okay?"
"It would taste better if I was eating it with a fork instead of a spoon," I teased and Roy raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe you are just too untalented to eat with a spoon."
"Well then I take that as a challenge, I finish first you owe me 20 dollars, you win..."
"I get to second base."
"What!" I said shocked, which I'm not sure if I should have been or not.
"You heard me lovely." Roy said with a smile on his face.
"I change mine then, I win you don't get to do anything but kiss me until we are married."
"I thought you didn't believe in marriage." Roy said shocked.
"Things change…and we aren't getting married until you are fuhrer I refuse to until then."
"Fine, ready set go!" Roy said and we both piled our food into our mouths. It took a while and I was really afraid Roy was going to win because I have always been a slower eater than him.

"Good night Riza, sleep well."
"Good night Roy." I said back to him, Roy kissed my cheek and hugged me goodbye before I walked back into my apartment and went to bed. As I slept instead of remembering Ishval I dreamt of Roy.
Disclaimer: I forgot to mention in last chapter that I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, although I wish I did.
Also I messed up in the last chapter, Roy is a Brigidar General and Riza a Major, Riza isn't a General or else she would have surpassed Roy so I apologize. I may take a while to upload another chapter because I have been very busy with school and have no idea what I want to happen in the next chapter the only thing I really have planned is the ending plus I am starting another story and this one is about Gaara from Naruto. I had a beta reader but I am really impatient and just decided to publish this without their help so I apologize for any errors I made. In my defense even people who make a living out of writing make errors on stories and I am pretty sure you don't go onto their sites and email them that they made an error in their book. I don't mean that to be rude I am just saying this because it's true and because I kind of feel bad when you comment about it, I do try to put the commas in when I'm writing but I don't proofread the story to make sure it's correct.
