Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Love and War ❯ As Fate Would Have It ( Chapter 1 )

 

He was cold. His body seemed like it couldn't hurt anymore and she was feared dead, how did his life turn out like this? He the Flame Alchemist, the famous soldier who endured the Ishvallin Rebellion, was going to die here on the battle field? Just before he lost conciseness he saw a familiar face, then he was lost in the sea of darkness…..

 

Three years and four months earlier….

 

 

Colonel Roy Mustang was sitting at his desk looking over some paperwork when his phone wrung. He retch over his documents and picked up the receiver.

 

“Colonel Mustang,” He answered.

 

“Um, hello Colonel, you don't know me but I'm Maes sister, I know about you because Aniki[1] talked about you all the time, I was wondering if you had seen him, he didn't come and visit me at East Headquarters like he said he would.” Roy was quiet for a while as he fought back tears.

 

“I'm sorry to tell you this Miss Hughes, but you brother died last week.” Silence. He could hear the phone drop.

 

“Miss Hughes?”

 

“Sorry about that colonel,” He heard her suck in her breath, “Colonel, please call me Melanie,” He heard her curse then say `why didn't they tell me?'

 

“I'm sorry Colonel I didn't know, um, I'm transferring to Central in a few days and I was going to tell him, well good-bye Colonel.” Then the phone went dead.

 

 

A few weeks later…

 

 

Roy was sitting at his desk pretending to listen to The Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric. Edward was going on and on about how Roy should have known there were pitfall traps that he and his brother The Armored Alchemist Alphonse Elric almost fell into. All the while Alphonse stood as still as steel. There was a light knock on the door and First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye walked in with papers under her arms.

 

“Sir, there is someone here to see you; I told her that you were in a meeting with Fullmetal, so she is waiting outside.” Riza said as she dropped the paperwork on Roy's desk.

 

“She?” Roy asked. He hoped it wasn't Miranda, their date didn't go to well and he wasn't happy with her stalking him at the moment.

 

“She didn't say who she was, but she's a State Alchemist, sir.” Riza said as she walked out the door.

 

“Fullmetal, are you done shouting at me now?” Roy asked him and Edward gritted his teeth.

 

“Colonel Bastard.” He growled through gritted teeth. “Come on Al.” He growled as he stormed out of Roy's office Al right behind him. There was a slamming door in his wake. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.

 

“Come in.” Roy said as he tried to look like he was busy.

 

“Hello Colonel, It's nice to finally meet you,” It was Melanie Hughes. Roy stood up then she walked over to his desk and they shook hands.

 

Roy Mustang sure does live up to his second name, the Flame Alchemist, He's hot! Melanie thought to herself.

 

“Yes it's nice to meet you too; you sure do look a lot like your brother.” Roy told her. She had long black hair and hazel green eyes. She was wearing rectangular glasses just like her brother did. She blushed at his comment and pushed her glasses up from habit. Then her face went serious.

 

“I've come to ask you a favor.” She said as she looked him straight in the eye.

 

“I want to lead the Investigations Department, and I know you're just the man I'm looking for.” She told him. Roy's eyes narrowed then he smirked.

 

“Well, that's a big request, I'm sure we can work something out.” Roy had a look on his face that Melanie didn't like.

 

“And what would that be sir?” She asked him. She folded her arms and glared at him.

 

“I'm not sleeping with you Colonel. Oh yes I know about your `conquests'. Aniki told me, or more like warned me.” Melanie told him. Roy chuckled.

 

“He did, did he? No, not that. But while were on this topic I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date with me.” Colonel asked her and she turned beet red.

 

“Didn't we just discuss this?” Melanie growled and Roy laughed.

 

“Fine then, I'll have you put under my command.” He told her. She saluted him and walked out the door.
