A/N: This is slightly odd, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone.

I'll take you with me
She was standing alone in front of the grave. Everyone else had left long ago, all knowing she needed time alone to deal with her own pain. The wind whipped her blonde hair across her face, which she had left down for the occasion. She knelt down by the stone, running her calloused hand across the newly carved lettering. She closed her eyes as fresh pain engulfed her once more. But she didn't cry. She couldn't. This hurt too much to be expressed by tears.
"How could you do this?" She whispered to the empty cemetery "why have you left me here alone? My life was yours, you knew that. How could you do this?" She broke off, unable to continue her body shivering even though the wind had already died down. She hugged her arms around herself, rocking back and forward slightly, attempting to hold herself in a way that he would hold her when she was upset. But it just made it worse, reminding her of the one thing in her life that was missing. Her arms dropped to her sides, her right hand brushing slightly against the cool metal of her gun that she always kept by on her. She froze. Slowly she lifted her head up to the sky, staring at the grey mass of cloud. Could she? Would she? The questions were already answered as she felt cool metal press to her temple. Her body had a habit of acting instinctively in all situations, this being no exception. She closed her eyes, a single tear rolling down her cheek as she squeezed the trigger.
"RIZA!" She sat up with a jolt breathing heavily. She lifted her head slightly to see the dark eyes of her lover staring back at her, concerning flooding his features.
"Riza, are you alright?" Roy whispered, pushing her sweat drenched bangs from her eyes. Without warning, she threw her arms around him, knocking him backwards on the bed as she hugged him closer. His eyes widened, worry flooding through his mind. Riza was hardly ever this affectionate. Even after being together for almost a year, she still kept him at a slight distance. He presumed it was caused by how little affection she had been shown as a child, and even now it was sometimes difficult for him to get through to her. She shivered in his arms slightly. He guided her face up to look at her, surprised to see tears in her eyes. Before he could ask she spoke.
"You left me." She whispered, still gazing up at him. "You died and left me by myself." She couldn't continue her statement, removing her gaze from his.
"Riza my love, look at me." She did as he asked. He lowered his face to hers and kissed her softly before continuing. "You have stood by me my entire life. Wherever I go, I'll take you with me." She sighed and kissed him once before settling down in his arms, feeling slightly more comforted by his promise.
