Time skip... I know, what's with the time skips, it makes sense for it since nothing much really happens soo xD

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

((Y/n)'s POV)

I walked into my office that all state alchemists get. It's been two years since my fathers death, and 2 years since I moved in with Roy. I haven't been sleeping well these last few days because of the nightmares I've been having. I sat down at my desk and started on my paperwork when there was a knock at my door.

"Who is it?" I yelled through the door

"Open it (Y/n), who else could it be?" a familiar man's voice said

"Shouldn't you be doing paperwork sir?"

"I came to drop papers off for you,"

"Alright, come in," I sighed

Mustang walked in and dropped a stack of papers on my desk

"Don't wanna do it eh Mu-" 

"Hey! Roy my boy! What's up" another cheerful voice came in

Roy and I looked at each other and had the same reaction. We both groaned as Hughes walked in the door

 "Wanna guess what my little Elicia and Gracia did for me yesterday?"

"Erm... no thanks... I have a ton of paperwork to do, plus look over the papers that Mustang just gave me..." I sigh and then whisper to Roy "Maybe if we just ignore him, he'll go away?"

"I tried that, it just made it worse," Roy whispered back

"Oh alright, maybe next time!" Maes left "Hey Havoc! Wanna hear what my family did for me last night?"

"No thanks sir, I'm busy," we heard a man say and then we heard 2 pairs of footsteps running 

Mustang and I look back at each other and laugh our heads off at what we just heard

"Alright, I'm almost done my paperwork, I'll look over the papers in about 5 minutes, you can come back then sir," I say

"I'm finished mine so I might as well stay here," he said, sitting down on the nearby couch "I'll just take a 5 minute nap, wake me up when you're done and are looking over the papers,"

"Alright,"

5 minutes go by and I stand up and walk over to Mustang. How did I end up being friends with this guy? I must be lucky to be a close friend of my supioer I thought to myself, gently placing a hand on his shoulder and gently shook him awake. That didn't work, and I sigh alright Mustang, wanna play that game eh? I stand up straight and kick the couch real hard, it must have moved about an inch

"What in the! Who's there!?"

"Calm down, thats what you get for not waking up right away when I shook you. Anyways, I'm about to go over the papers you gave me,"

I walk back over to my desk as Mustang starts to lecture me on not doing that. I blocked it out, as per usual when getting lectured, a bad habit of mine, and starts to look the papers over

"Alright, so what page are you on now? Probably the fir-" Mustang asked

"The last page," I cut him off

"How did you do that?"

"I went over it when you were talking,"

"Oh for the love of God (N/n), were you paying attention,"

"No, and don't give me a lecture on paying attention because I just don't, I block it out,"

"Well then, go on, read the last page,"

As I read the paper it says

As per request of  Corporal Roy Mustang, The Flame Alchemist, Private (Y/n) (Y/l) will be assigned to his team. She will receive more missions and will work with other people. There will be less paperwork for her to do as well as be able to go on missions with her team to stop criminals and protect her country. If she is to accept this position, Mustang will be promoted to Colonel, and (Y/l) will be promoted to Lt.Colonel and will become Mustang personal assistant.

Sincerly,

The Fuhrer

Bradley

"Woa woa woa wait a minute. Hold on, let me get this straight, you want me to join your team?" I asked making sure I got this all right

"Yes, I think it would be good for you,"

"Can't argue with that then, I'll join, let me just sign the papers," I shrug, picking up a pen while Mustang grabs one out of his pocket

I sign and hand him the papers, to which he also signed off on, no idea why but alright

"Great, my team room is right across the hall from mine, I expect to see you there in half an hour," he commanded

"Yes sir, I'll be there waiting on you to come back," 

Mustang left and I was getting tired. I laid down on the couch and fell asleep

(Time skip)

(Roy's POV)

I was walking back to my team's room to announce that we would be getting a new recruit in our team. I walked past (Y/n)'s office when I heard moans and groans, and it sounded like she was talking to someone.

Who is she talking to? It sounds like she's talking to herself... say... she hasn't been sleeping well

I quietly opened the door to see (Y/n) on the couch, moaning and groaning saying things like; No, please, I'm sorry! Don't leave me! or Please! You can't go, you promised me and other phrases like that. I closed the door and sat down near her legs and shook her awake. She looked at me confused and then clung on to me like the day her father was murdered. She was a complete mess.

"Shhh... (N/n), whats wrong? You're crying like that day..." I asked while I hugged her back

I rubbed her back as she cried even more, and rested my head on top of hers

"It's all my fault," was all she could say, she just repeated that over and over again

"(Y/n), look at me," I pulled her away and she looked suprised, she tensed and started to blush and looked away from me, I sighed "(N/n) look at me, his death wasn't your fault, your mother leaving you wasn't your fault, none of it was your fault. Stop blaming yourself for that, you'll wear yourself out thinking about it, please! Its not your fault,"

((Y/n)'s POV)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Roy's right, it isn't my fault... but it feels like it is, if I was just there, if I never became a state alchemist, he might still be alive...

"Y-you're right, i-it's not my fault, b-but it f-feels like it is," I told him

"Do you want to talk about it? I know even if I just talk to myself about it, it feels better,"

"A-alright,"

Roy pulled me into another hug and my head landed on his chest

"It starts out as me watching my mom walk out the front door to walking into my old apartment and find my dad, only he wasn't there but I was the one dead. I then would see him grieving. I would wake up and fall asleep, in the dream, then it would be me running to our apartment and me being killed on your doorstep, and you finding me. I would be able to see through your eyes and see my body lying there, the child would then kill you as well. I would wake up then and not be able to fall asleep again,"

"That's why you haven't been sleeping well,"

I nod quickly and he takes a tissue from the box on the table and wipes my tears away

"It'll be okay (N/n), I'll protect you, nothing is your fault,"

"Thank you, Roy,"
