Damn this writer's block. The chapters always end up sounding stupid. So… I will finish this, then I will start on a new idea for another story until inspiration hits me.


"Lieutenant?" Roy said, kneeling down beside Riza's curled up form on the bathroom floor. "Riza, look at me." He tried again.

Finally, after many tries, Riza lifted her head from her knees.

"What do you want?" she whispered. Her voice was meant to sound strong and bitter, but it was soft and sad, almost girlish.

At first, he said nothing. There was just silence. Then, arms wrapped themselves around her, and he pulled her onto his lap. Roy rested his chin on her shoulder, still looking at her face.

"Do you remember when I was eighteen and you were sixteen, and it was the day I left for the military?" Roy asked.

"Of course I remember. It's a day I will likely never forget."

"I remember saying to you that I would come back, and I would take your hand in marriage. I even gave you a ring. Do you still have it?"

Riza reached into her shirt and pulled out her dog tags. One had her name, and the other had Roy's. They had swapped tags one frightful night in Ishval, right before the final mission. On the silver chain, was a simple ring. It was gold with a blue sapphire imbedded in it.

"I always wear it, though I can never wear it on my hand. I did for a long time, but I had to take it off for the job I upheld. I put it on a chain around my neck, and then I joined the military. I asked one of my roommates if I could wear it, but she said not unless I wanted people asking questions, so I slipped it on my dog tags. I looked at it every night, praying you would stay safe." Riza gave a sad smile. "It worked."

"Te amo."

"What?"

" I said, te amo, Riza. I love you. I promised I would marry you, and I will. Grumman revoked the frat laws you know. Said something about wanting his beautiful granddaughter to be happy." He smiled. "Riza Hawkeye, will you give me the pleasure of taking your hand in marriage? I couldn't imagine not being with you, and I want to kiss you good morning every day, and come to work with you, and do things married couples do, because I love you." Roy was looking her straight in the eye, telling her things he didn't speak out loud, and she understood.

"You should know, I said yes the first time, so you really didn't need to ask again, but I'm glad you did."

"Was that a yes?"

Riza laughed.

"Duh," she whispered and kissed him soundly. They sat there, sitting on the floor of a public bathroom in a strip club on a Friday night, just relaxing in each other's arms. Then Riza had a realization.

"We're sitting on the floor of a public strip club bathroom," she stated.

"Uh, yeah maybe we should get up." Roy laughed and stood, holding Riza then putting her gently on her feet.

"We should, uh, go tell the guys and get out of here," Riza said with a laugh.

"Agreed."

And with that, the two walked out of the bathroom and to the table, where their subordinates were anxiously waiting.

"Hey guys," Riza said nervously.

"Hello Lieutenant. Feeling better?" Falman asked politely.

Riza smiled and laughed.

"I'm getting married."

Havoc and Fuery choked on their drink, and Breda and Falman appeared to be in a state of shock.

"T-to who?" Havoc choked out.

"To who else? Me of course!" Roy said laughing.

The men were put into a comatose state. They couldn't believe a playboy like Mustang would ever settle down. Then, once they got married, there would be two Mustangs!

"You did it lover boy!" Lynn said, walking up behind them. "I'm gonna be the maid of honor, right Ri?"

Riza laughed.

"Whatever you say Lynn."

"Hey! Where's the ring?" Lynn asked.

"Right here," Riza said, holding up her dog tags.

Lynn examined the ring.

"Very nice! Put it on! I remember you wore that thing religiously. I just thought it was to get guys off your back!"

Roy and Riza both laughed, and she slipped the ring off the chain and handed it to Roy.

"Will you do the honors?" she asked.

"Of course." Roy said, and slipped the ring on the third finger on her left hand.

"Now I can say my best friend got engaged at a strip club!" Lynn exclaimed.

Everyone laughed.

"God I hope no one asks," Riza says as Roy slips his arms around her shoulders.

"Te amo, Riza."

"Te amo, Roy."


That was Latin. ^_^ I hope you guys liked it! Thanks for reading!
