Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ The Life of a Military Dog ❯ Robertino's ( Chapter 6 )

A/N: Hello! This is Yuko again, with another installment of fluff and craziness. Thank you so much for the reviews! I wasn't expecting so many, but thank you very much, and I'll try to organize my story better, though it's difficult to even make my stories readable to other people, I'm not good with grammar. Also, this chapter may be a little weird, as I am sick. I just had a huge painting job, and it wore me out, so I think I overexerted myself, and now have a cold. In any case, I just chugged some Nyquil, and it's making me feel a bit loopy, so if there's some weird comments on watermelons, or excessive swearing, blame the Nyquil, not me. Well, on with the fic!

 

Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. Though I do own all of your souls! Mwahahahaha… and many, many wonderful watermelons.

 

Riza took a sip of wine, as she looked over the menu. `Hmm… I can't decide between the Ravioli or the Noodles Alfredo,' Riza thought, looking up. Roy and her were at an Italian restaurant bearing the name Robertino's. It was a grand restaurant, gold leafing encrusting the walls, the seats covered in red velvet. Waiters flounced about, offering fine wines and Champaign. It was a restaurant only people with a fair amount of money could afford to go to, or in this case, Mustang.

 

Roy was casually looking over his menu, and, seeming to have decided, closed it and looked up. “Have you chosen something to eat yet?” he asked casually, as if he came here every day.

 

“Ah, yes, the noodles alfredo,” Riza replied hurriedly. Roy nodded, then calling over a waiter, relayed this information to him. “Riza, you look uncomfortable, is something the matter?” Mustang questioned, looking into her eyes. “Oh, I'm just not used to going to places this fancy to eat colonel- I mean Roy,” she said, smiling uneasily.

 

“Uh, I have to use the restroom, be right back,” Riza said, getting up and walking away. Walking towards the bathrooms, she bumped into a short blond woman in a loose fitting scarlet dress, wearing a wide brimming white silk hat that hid most of her features. “Oh, sorry about that,” She said, `I really don't fit in a place like this' she thought to herself, walking into the restroom.

 

“I need to get a grip,” she told herself, washing her face with cold water. “Okay, just relax, and enjoy the night with Roy,” Riza said, taking a towel and drying herself off before walking back to her table. Their dinners had already arrived by the time Riza got back, and she sat down. Taking a mouthful of noodles, Riza looked up and noticed, sitting behind Roy at the next table over, the same woman she had bumped into earlier.

 

`I had better say sorry before we leave,' Riza thought to her self, munching on garlic bread. “You sure have a big appetite,” Roy said, looking over from his half eaten spaghetti, as Riza finished her noodles, and ate a couple rolls.

 

“Hmm? Well, I'm always on the go, so I don't get this good a meal too often, these noodles are really great,” Riza replied, blushing slightly. As Mustang finished his dinner a few minuets later, they ordered dessert. “What is it you keep looking at?” Mustang asked, as Riza looked over his shoulder to see the girl in the red dress and her date.

 

“Oh, it's that woman behind you, I accidentally bumped into her on the way to the bathroom, and I really should apologize, they've been here ever since we came,” Riza said, her face flushed with embarrassment.

 

Roy looked behind him to see the couple sitting there, hidden behind their menus. `Isn't that the same dress Hughes's wife wore last time I saw her?' he thought, absentmindedly, before brushing it out of his mind.

 

The desserts arrived soon after, and Riza started eating her chocolate mousse. It had a thick creamy flavor, and she swirled it around her mouth. It tasted wonderful, though not as good as her kiss with Roy. `Wait, no- stop thinking dirty thoughts' Riza thought to herself, before snapping back to reality.

 

“So, Roy, any luck with finding that serial killer?” Riza questioned, as he seemed to just be coming back from la la land himself. “Oh, not yet. The deaths all seem random, no one can find any relations between them, so we're at a loss,” he said exasperatedly. “Hmm, that's got to be tough,” she replied, waving her hand to the side to reach for her glass of wine. In doing so, she managed to knock over her mouse, getting it all over her silken blouse.

 

“Oh shit!” she said, picking up the mousse, and frantically wiping her shirt. “Excuse me,” she said, her face once again flushed with embarrassment. She began walking to the restroom, when she thought of something.

 

“Miss, I have to apologize for bumping into you earlier, I'm very sorry,” She said, stopping at the blond woman's table. “Oh, uh, that's okay, it was no problem at all. By the way, are you on a, er, date with that man over there?” the woman said in a muffled high pitch voice, looking at her lap.

 

“Oh yes, we are going out. Your voice, is it all right? Here, take a cough drop, as an apology,” Riza said, handing her a cough drop from her purse. The woman finally looked up just long enough to take the pill, and then went back to searching the dessert menu. Her face from what Riza could tell, was very pretty, with an even coat of makeup on, quite a lot, but looking professional applied and quite lovely.

 

Riza shrugged, then continued walking to the bathroom. “I told you so, that's them,” the woman whispered to the man next to her. “Wow, I never would have thought it true,” the man whispered back.

 

“Never knew you were in the cross dressing business Ed, why are you so good at putting makeup on?” Mustang asked, turning around in his chair to face them.

A/N Bwahahaha! I love cliffhangers. And watermelons. Am I making the characters a bit ooc? I could never really tell this stuff, but I always worry about it. Hope I get better in time for kendo tomorrow, wish me luck. I love watermelons. Give me watermelons and reviews, and I'll update faster, though I'm pretty swamped right now. Till next chapter! I'm going to sleep. Sorry about the Nyquil, I hope I didn't write anything to stupid.
