Roy's POV
I had no choice. I had to be forceful. I pushed her off me and ran to find Riza. I couldn't find her anywhere. "Riza!" I called out. I kept on running. Damn it! I can't lose you! Not now! I kept running until I found her. She was running away. I tried catching up to her. She turned around and saw I was chasing after her. She ran faster, but I was determined to catch up. I called out for her again. "Riza wait! I can explain! Please!" I was close enough to her that I could grab her wrist. She stopped running. Surprisingly she didn't struggle to get free. She just stood there, facing away from me. "Riza. I'm sorry. I had a girl over, and I was going to tell her to leave. Then she got forceful, tried to seduce me, and I didn't want her to, I was forced. Riza. Please forgive me. I can't lose you too. I'm a mess without you. I-!" Before I could finish my sentence, Riza turned around. I felt her lips meet with mine. My eyes were wide open. Realizing what had happened I closed my eyes and kissed her back. We stood there in the rain, our lips still locked together, for a little bit longer. Our lips come apart. We look at each other. "I love you too." She said. I felt something. The fire in my heart and soul. It's coming back. I was back to normal. I didn't feel like breaking down or hurting myself. All I wanted to do was stay with Riza. She helped me go back to normal. We stood there hugging each other. We didn't care that it was raining. Even though I wasn't the biggest fan of rain, it didn't matter. All that mattered was that Riza is now mine. And I couldn't be happier. "Colonel. We should get back inside." She said. Then I realized that girl's probably still in my house. "Yeah. About that. Remember that girl you saw earlier, I doubt that she left." She gave me this evil grin. "Don't worry. I'll take care of it." We walked back to my house. Riza walked in first. The girl came up to her. "Who the hell are you? Where's Roy?" She asked. Riza pointed her gun at the woman. "I'm sorry but-" I walked in. "The colonel, is with me. So I suggest you leave, before I get the whole military involved. And trust me, they don't take things easily." Riza stated with a confident smile. The woman flinched, and ran out of the house. Riza put the gun down and came over to me. "So colonel. What now?" She asked. "Why so formal? You know you can call me Roy right?" She looked at me as if I were crazy. "I can call you that?" She asked. "Of course. We aren't at work, are we?" I asked. "I guess you're right. Well, Roy. What do we do now?" I looked at her. "Well. We could start by doing this." I pulled her close into a hug. "Then a little of this." I added, giving her a small kiss on the forehead. When I did that she smiled. She smiled the smile that I've never seen. It was pure happiness. A smile that makes me feel great. I couldn't believe that Riza was now in my arms at last. I never wanted to let go of her. I gave her another kiss, this time on the lips. We were both so happy. I knew she was the one when I first met her. I remember after the Ishvalan war, I wasn't the same, but then she fixed me. I kept going. She is the match that lights my flame. She is the light that helped me escape this dark eternity. That thought made me think, I'm so lucky to have a woman like this. She is mine. And she is irreplaceable.

Yay! Sorry for such a cheesy end. Well technically not end. Just one more chapter. I'm excited to write the next chapter. I already know what's going to happen. Sorry it's not the longest chapter in the world, but it's better than nothing. That's it. See you in the next chapter!
