"I always want to be this happy with him but... Something in me is screaming, that this isn't going to last long enough..."

  ''Edward, you look happy for once.'' Havoc commented the morning after when seeing the small alchemist with a smile as he spoke to the suit of armor,  ''Hmm?'' Making Edward turn to see Havoc, ''I'm always happy.'' He commented back. ''Right.... But more so than usual.'' He added seeing the blonde make a face seeing his cheeks get flustered, ''Oh? I get it now. You got some from the Chief didn't you~'' He said with grin that made Al question what was going on. ''Is that why I didn't find you yesterday Brother?'', ''Be quiet!'' The small alchemist said red in the face, ''If you have time to tease him, than you have to work.'' Roy cut in making all three jump up, ''C-Chief.". ''He's right.'' Riza added stepping out from behind the Flame Alchemist and towards the group, ''You should be actually working now that recall...'', ''W-Will do Lieutenant!'' Havoc quickly said as he left with Riza going over to Edward. ''Edward....'', ''Y-Yes?...'', ''Come here for a second.'' Riza said gesturing Edward away from Al and Roy, ''How's the Colonel treating you?'' She asked grabbing his face leaning it a bit when seeing a small hickey on his neck. ''He's treating me good.'', ''Really?... I can see that here but... I mean in general... Is he treating you right? No arguments, nothing?'' She questioned since Edward was often jumpy when the Flame Alchemist rose his voice at him. ''Nothing.'', ''...Has he a ever rose a hand to you?... Because I know he has a temper so...'', ''Never!'', ''...That's great to hear... I just want to make sure things are good, since a relationship is a lot of work.'' Riza said in a motherly tone. ''I guess I have nothing to worry about. But if you ever want to talk about it just come to me or Havoc, alright?'' She said hugging the small alchemist before pulling away and walking off, ''Actually Lieutenant there is something I want to say... I need help...''. ''Hmm?'' Riza paused turning to Edward again, ''Help me...'', ''Of course I can help you... What's wrong...'', ''The Colonel um... Never mind.'' Edward quickly said when feeling Roy's dark eyes on him, ''Alright... If you want to talk about it later just drop by okay?'', ''Okay...'' Edward said getting a bad feeling in his chest.
