Chapter 4

Roy's Feelings

Disclaimer: Don't and, sadly, never will own Fullmetal Alchemist!

Thanks for all the reviews, I can't believe I already reached 34 reviews and I have yet to post 4 chapters! And I would like to say that I attempted to add some Riza in this chapter for AvaEobane and since eventually I would like to have Roy and Riza marry each other I made the parts with Riza into Royai.

'Hmm. I may need some backup in order to discipline Ed. Well I guess I should call Hawkeye. Well at least I will have an excuse to see her outside of work, and out of uniform. And maybe I should ask her out sometimes, because knowing Ed, I will need all the help I can get, and luckily the woman I love is also strict enough to handle Ed. Yeah, this will work out perfectly for me. Wait, what was I doing? Oh, yeah punishing Ed, double now though.' (Note: For anyone who doesn't remember, Ed will get double the punishment now because of running away the first time, and spilling milk on Roy) Roy called Riza and told her what happened and how he needs help. She told him to wait five minutes and she will be there and he hung up. While he waited, Mustang decided to see what Ed was doing, since he was being to quiet for Roy's taste.

When he came to Ed's room he opened the door and saw that Ed wasn't there. "EDWARD!" Roy yelled, angry that Ed used alchemy on the window so that he could escape.

Just as Roy yelled, Riza knocked on the door. Roy went to answer it and told her what happened. Then, surprisingly, he showed his weak side to Riza by saying, "Riza, I can't bear to lose him! I love Edward as if he was my flesh and blood son, not my adopted one! I'm so worried, even though he is strong and has alchemy!" Roy exclaimed.

"I know how you feel, believe me, I feel the same way. Also, when we find him and I get my hands on him, he'll wish he never made us worry like this. But, then again knowing the kind of kid he is, this won't be the last time he will make us worry, don't you think?" Riza said, trying to cheer Roy up.

"Yeah, you're right. But still, he isn't going to get by lightly after doing this twice, and pouring milk on me. Oh, no, now he is getting triple the punishment, including what I already told him his punishment is. Maybe he will learn at least something from them, like maybe that we care about him," Roy declared, "Oh, and Riza, would you care to join me for dinner at my house sometimes? I feel much stronger and confident with you by my side, and not to mention that you understand how I feel about Edward," Roy casually asked.

"Yes, I think that I would like that Roy, because I feel very safe around you, and you give me inspiration like no one else does, and I always feel like I can do anything while I'm with you. But, now isn't the time for sweet talk, we have a little alchemist brat that we need to find, and scold," Riza replied.

"You're definitely right about that, and I have a feeling where he would be," Mustang stated.

"Where?" Riza questioned.

"Well, since he is the Hero of Amestris and The People's Alchemist, not to mention that now he is the Fuhrer's son, even without a pocket watch he would be granted access to the Restricted Sections in the Central Library whenever he wants. And as to how I know he would be in the library, it's just a feeling I have since he loves to read, especially about alchemy," Roy explained.

"Yeah, you're probably right. Well, let's go than," Riza said.

"Yeah, I can't wait to see the look on his face when we find him there. He probably forgot that I am the Fuhrer and have more authority than I ever did, and no matter how big the library is he can't hide from me," Roy said.

When they reached the Central Library Roy asked the guards at the gate if the former Fullmetal Alchemist was seen going into the library. The guards said that he was and that he hasn't come out since. Roy and Riza both just smiled and thanked the guards as they entered the library. Roy yelled for everyone to clear the library, using his commanding Fuhrer voice. Everyone except for one person sitting in a chair bolted out of the library. Roy and Riza both walked over to the young blonde boy sitting and reading a book and at the same time Riza closed the book and Roy picked him up and started carrying him out of the library, Riza following close behind.

"You know, Ed, you really had me worrying when you ran away before. You worried me so much that I decided to call Riza, as you see," Roy said with a smirk, as Ed's face turned into one of pure horror.

"Yes, Edward, and after Roy told me what happened I became worried as well," Riza smiled dangerously.

"Oh, crap, I'm in so much trouble, now, I can just imagine," Ed whined.

"Oh believe me, Ed, what we have in store for you, you can't imagine," Roy stated.

Ed gulped loudly and started to pout, "Let me down so that I can walk, it's not like I'm going to run away again and get into even more trouble than I'm in now."

"I don't think so, Ed, you will be carried, since it seems that it bothers you somehow. Now you can see how it feels when someone does something that bothers you," Roy replied.

"Fuhrer Bastard!" Ed yelled, but just as he yelled that he felt and heard a smack. "Did you just spank me?" he yelled at Mustang and felt and heard another smack.

"Yes, disrespectful children need to be taught to be respectful, especially towards their parents," Roy replied seriously. "Now I believe I heard you wrong, what did you call me?" he asked Ed.

"I meant Roy," Ed said, pouting once again seeing that right now Roy wasn't in the mood for any games and that he was extremely serious and angry with him now.

"This is going to be fun, don't you think Riza?" Mustang asked.

"Yes, I think I might stick around a while, if you don't mind, Roy," Riza replied.

"Not at all, I would love you company and help!" Roy happily exclaimed.

"Uhhh, this is going to be really bad, I just know it!" Ed whined, while Roy and Riza just laughed happy that Ed was back with them.

Please review, and sorry if the Royai moments weren't good, I am trying to somehow have Roy and Riza get married later on in the story, so I'm trying to build up to that moment.
