The celebration went on, late into the night, but it eventually ended, like anything else would. Riza paid and drove her drunk leader home, always being responsible for him. .

"Apologies, lieutenant. . " Roy mumbled under his warm breath.

"Spend your money more wisely, sir. " Riza simply responded.

Roy mumbled another thing under his breath, but it wasn't loud enough for Riza to hear. As if she wanted to. Silence lingered between them all the way back home. It was a good thing to experience silence every once in a while. Roy is the loudest boss. Ever. Today, he was unusually. .quiet.

The car rolled up to a large apartment building, easy to know that this is where private yet "rich" people live. Roy awkwardly opened the door, slightly slouching against it. He swung his legs over and let his feet touch the ground. But, it seemed like there was some hesitation in his movements.

"Is something wrong, sir?"

The mood seemed a bit off. .like passion was flying in the air. Is that correct ? Roy turned around to face Riza, his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were sparkling. Riza blinked at him, whatever was on his mind. .she worried for him.

Suddenly, he turned around fully, had his fingers wrapped around his lieutenant's wrist, and his. .lips were against her. All, just like that. Riza's eyes widened in realization. She didn't pull away for some reason. .

Roy pulled away, his gaze averted, his face even more flushed. His fingers didn't let go of Riza's wrist, he didn't want to let go yet.

"D-Do whatever you need to! Slap, shoot, kill. .!"

Roy shut his eyes out of fright, preparing himself for whatever she was going to throw at him. He was only drunk, he didn't know better. But, people said when people were drunk. .they show and say what they really feel versus when they're sober. .

Riza was flustered and purely shocked. Is this how Roy really feels about her ?

"Get out! Please. ."

Roy sighed. He let his hands slip away from her and left, just like that. No more words were spoken, no good nights, not even a little glance. . This weird feeling of disappointment and regret lingered between them.

The second Riza heard Roy's footsteps, she drove off. She didn't want to look back, she felt like. .killing him or maybe even herself.

"Why did you do that?"

"Roy Mustang."

She felt herself falling. She couldn't stop.
