Chapter 40: Proposal
Very shortly after the death of Maes Hughes, Roy Mustang became hyper aware of the things he couldn't live without. It amazed him when he realized how much influence one woman had on his very existence. The thought of lossing Riza without being able to hear her laugh, make her smile, or hold her in his arms as much as he could was unbearable and he knew what he needed to do.
It wasn't much of a suprise to Riza when Roy pulled out a ring and asked her to marry him, but it was a very big suprise to Roy when she said no.
"Am I missing something?" he asked looking confused and slightly angry.
"Maybe I should rephrase that."she said with a small smile. "I will marry you Roy, I would love to marry you, just not now."
"Then when?" he asked calmly.
"When this country is a democracy ." she answered.
"That's your only condition?" he asked with a confident smirk.
"Just think of it as a reason for you to stop putting your work off."
"I don't know." he said, leaning in for a kiss. "Having my beautiful fiance around may be a bit of a distraction."

Yes, I know it has been too long since I last updated. This was a play off of the scene in the manga where Ed is saying when he'll repay Roy the money he owes him.
