*Roy's POV*
I sat there tied to the chair awaiting whatever they had for me next. I was tired and sore, any information I was unwilling to give was beaten out of me yet they still didn't find out anything new. It appeared I knew just as much as they did, and they weren't buying it.
"Father, I'm so sorry. I've failed." Envy walked in with his head lowered.
"Failed how?" He deepened the seemingly permanent scowl that was etched onto his face.
"Riza, she- she got away." He slightly raised his head and a red electric bolt shot out of Father's hand into Envy, sending him flying backward. He screamed out in pain.
That was definitely alchemy.
I smiled to myself, proud of my beloved fiancée for getting away from that monster.
For the next 5 minutes I had to listen to Envy cry and plead for mercy while Father killed him over and over.
"How did she get away?" He growled.
"She ran away from me and jumped off of the roof! She just kept running then out of nowhere the Fullmetal Pipsqueak showed up and I was ordered not to hurt him so I'm sure you know how that went." He hugged his knees to his chest and snarled at me.
I felt proud of the boy for taking care of Riza, but I was still pissed that this asshat might've hurt her.
"Did you hurt her?" I couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't see a reason not to." He smirked. "After all, she's set to marry you. That on its own is a pretty good reason."
"What did you do to her?" I clenched my teeth.
"Silence." Father held up a hand. "You were very unuseful, Mustang. I'm disappointed with the results I got, especially for all the trouble I went through to get them." He cut the rope off of my wrists and ankles with his alchemy and looked to Envy.
"Escort him out, if you get him killed or mess this up in any way I will dispose of you myself, that's a promise." He said in his usual monotone voice.
"Yes, Father." Envy slightly tilted his head down and I followed him out.

*Riza's POV*
I woke up due to Edward's loud snoring and frowned as the realization that I wasn't at home kicked in. When I sat up Alphonse looked over at me and whispered, "Good morning."
"Good morning, Al." I stretched and rubbed my eyes then stood up from the lumpy couch, looking at the clock. 7:58.
"I don't want to wake up Edward so just let him know I went home, okay? Thank you for letting me stay."
"Are you sure? It could still be dangerous." He said in a concerned tone.
"No, you boys have done enough, I'll get out of your hair." I gave him a warm smile and started heading out.
"Just be careful, okay?" He said.
"I will. You too." I shut the door behind me, then made my way outside and back home.
I opened the door and sighed, walked upstairs then got in the shower. Afterwards, upon entering my bedroom, I gasped as I saw Roy sleeping in our bed.
He stirred in his sleep then slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. His eyes went wide and he shot up from his spot on the bed, taking me into his arms.
"Roy, baby. I missed you." I held him close and ran my hands through his soft hair. He smelled fresh so he must've showered when he got back from wherever he was. I knew it was him for sure because his cheek had a slight purple tint to it, and homunculi don't bruise, obviously.
"I missed you too. I heard you were with Edward?" He asked slightly pulling away.
"Yes, he insisted I stay with him and Al to make sure it was safe." I looked up at him and he smiled.
"I'm glad he showed up." He kissed me on the forehead and I shivered, still being wet and only a towel.
"Let me get dressed and brush my hair real quick." I quickly pecked his cheek and dug through my drawer looking for something comfortable.
When I was ready I walked back into our room and joined him on the bed.
"I was so worried about you." I sighed and wrapped my arms around him once again.
"I'm fine I just got a scratch. I was worried when Envy was sent out to 'keep you company'. I thought I might never see you again." He stroked my cheek and I shook my head.
"He didn't hurt me much-"
"What did he do?" He scowled.
"He just threw me around a bit." I said quietly and shrugged.
He clenched his jaw and scoffed. "His master or whatever didn't send him there to hurt you."
"That's not what he said."
"What did he say?" He raised his eyebrows.
"He said he was sent there to kill me, and I-" I paused and took a shaky breath. "I was scared. I didn't think I would see you ever again, so I ran."
He softly pressed his lips to mine and hugged me close to his body, leaving no space in between. "I... Love... You." He said in between kisses.
I pulled away and stared intently into his eyes, and then to his face, examining his every feature. "I love you too." I looked back down at his plump lips as he pressed them back against mine.
"I never want to lose you." I mumbled.
"I'll never let you go." He paused and ran his thumb delicately over my bottom lip, catching his breath.
"You're really beautiful, you know that?" He tilted his head and I giggled placing my hand down on his thigh.
"I didn't until I fell in love with you."
"Why not before?" His lips slightly curved downward.
"Because I didn't have somebody as sweet as you to remind me all the time." I smiled and he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I'll spend the rest of my life reminding you if you let me." He held onto my hands and I bit down on my bottom lip.
"I couldn't possibly say no." I said, tracing patterns on the back of his hand and looking down at my ring.
"I'll do my best to keep you thinking that way."
