The Test Of Time
A/N-I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist no matter how much I want to.
Ch.4
Roy sat down at his desk and put his head in his hands, he inhaled deeply and then slowly exhaled. He looked at the pile of papers on his desk and groaned, he still had about two piles of paperwork before he could go home, and by home, he meant bar. He pulled out his pocket watch, ‘It’s only 7:42, I get out of here at 8:30, if I work hard then I can be out of here on time’ he thought to himself. He grabbed one of the papers and started reading it, it was a request for ‘casual Fridays’ he quickly dismissed it.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number, “Yes, Cynthia, please connect me to Maes Hughes in the investigations department. Yes, thank you.” He tapped his fingers impatiently as he waited for the line to connect, “Finally! I need someone to go out with tonight. Well, I would have asked Riza, but we’re kind of fighting. Yes, that means we’re going to the bar. I’ll tell you about it later. Bye” Roy hung the phone up, took one last long sigh and got back to his paperwork.
Riza was crying on the inside, but her composure never faltered from the time she left Roy’s office until she reached her dorm room. She closed the door behind her and then fell to her feet in tears. Black Hayate came over to her and barked, happy to see his master. “Hey boy” Riza said half heartedly. “Are you hungry?” The dog yipped and wagged it’s tail. Riza got up, wiped her tears away and went to the kitchen, she poured her dog some food, gave it a pat on it’s head and then went to her room and closed the door.
“Riza, you idiot!” she said out loud “Why did you tell him that? What were you thinking? Now he’s pissed off.” She got a tissue and wiped her tears away “Since when did my sex drive become more important than my love for him? I need to talk to him. I’ll call him tonight.” She decided.
Roy looked at his pocket watch ‘8:15’ he didn’t even bother reading the last six papers, he just signed them, grabbed his coat and left. He made his way to the investigations department and knocked impatiently on the door to his best friends office. Colonel Hughes looked up and noticed the outline of his friends frame from the door, “Come in Roy.” Roy opened the door and stepped in, “Are you finished yet? I need my medicine.” Maes cocked an eyebrow “Medicine? Roy nodded “Yes. Alcohol. It’s a cure-all” Maes just shook his head and grabbed his coat, “Let’s go.”
“Just like old times huh?” Maes mused while ordering Roy a whiskey and a ordered himself a glass of Wiltinger. Roy drank it down quickly and asked for another, which he quickly drank. Maes stopped him from ordering a third “Slow down, was it that bad?” Roy nodded “Yes Maes, it was. Riza cheated on me.” Maes eyes nearly bulged out of his head “Roy, that can’t be true. She loves you.” Roy nodded “That’s what I thought too, but that doesn’t change the facts.” He ordered himself another whiskey. “Roy, tell me what happened.” Roy downed his drink and explained what happened.
Maes grabbed him by the collar “Roy! What the hell did you do?! I understand you were upset, but did you have to go and do that?! You need to go over there and apologize NOW!” Maes lectured on and Roy downed another two whiskeys. Maes let out a sigh and released him. He was starting to feel the effects and Maes could tell. “Alright, maybe you should just go home and talk to her tomorrow, okay?” Not in the mood to fight, Roy slapped some money on to the counter, got up off his stool and started towards the door. Maes sighed and followed him.

Edward stopped and looked April in the eye, “April, I’m sorry for pressuring you earlier. I don’t know what came over me. Can you ever forgive me?” April leaned in and kissed him, “Yes, of course I can.” The blonde smiled “Alright let’s get going.” As they continued on towards April’s apartment they noticed an interesting sight in the street.
Roy Mustang, looking drunk as anything, stumbling around with Maes trying to get him back on the sidewalk. “Edward, isn’t that Roy?” April asked. Ed laughed, “Yes, yes it is….” “Do you think we should go help him?” she asked, a little concerned. Ed quickly shook his head “Nah, this is just too funny.”
Maes just sighed ‘Why? Why did I take him drinking?’ he thought. “Roy, can you at least pretend to be sober? People are staring.” He said in an exasperated tone. “It’s not surprising, people always stare at me, I’m sexy” Roy responded in a slurred voice. Maes shook his head “Not right now you aren’t.” “Now Maes, that’s just untrue, I’m sexy at all times, I bet I could get any girl…” he said confidently. “Well, here’s your chance” Maes said with a smile, noticing Ed and April approaching.
Ed resisted the urge to point and laugh, “You certainly aren’t making the military look very good, General” Ed mocked. April held back a laugh. “Shut up Fullmetal, that’s insubordination.” Roy attempted to have some semblance of composure. Ed shrugged “Does it look like I care?” Roy glared at him, but smiled at April “Don’t forget you have to come to my office tomorrow.” She nodded “I wont” Roy attempted to flash his famous smile at her “You know, you should come home with me…” Ed glared at him “If I find out that you tried *anything* tomorrow, I will personally come and kick your ass” Ed practically growled.
Maes laughed “Alright you two that’s enough. I’m taking this idiot home now. You both be good. Don’t forget to use protection.” April and Ed turned about three shades of red. “Why does everybody keep saying that?! Just because we’re dating doesn’t mean we’re…you know” Ed said angrily. “You know Fullmetal, you really should try sex sometime. I bet you’d like it. If I had a chance to have sex with you’r—“Roy was cut off by a backhand to the back of his head by Maes. Seeing the look on Ed’s face, Maes quickly took Roy away.
April laughed as Ed fumed “Don’t let him get to you, he’s drunk.” Ed muttered something April couldn’t hear, but she thought she caught an “asshole.”
Arriving at her apartment, she unlocked the door and set her purse and keys down on the table beside the door. “Edward?” April asked, pulling him close “Would you stay with me tonight?” Edward smiled, backing her into the wall and giving her a long deep kiss, leaving them both breathless “I’ll stay.” She lead him to the bedroom where they laid down and curled up in each others arms, letting sleep take them.
*********************************************************************
The next morning at the Mustang office began without the usual camaraderie that any other day would include. Mustang had obviously been drinking the night before and for whatever reason he wasn't eager to say why. Evidently he was dealing with a hell of a headache because when Furey whispered to Havoc his suspicions about Roy's night they were reprimanded by a more than agitated General, instead of the usual bullets that would have normally ensued. It was a tense day for everybody.
The only times Roy and Riza interacted were when Riza gave him papers and he gave them back to her after signing them. Roy’s other subordinates weren’t nearly stupid enough to ask what was wrong. They didn’t particularly want to be full of bullet holes or be turned into ashes.
Riza sighed inwardly ‘He really does hate me. He won’t even look at me, and he’s not complained about the paperwork at all. What the hell was I thinking? I need to find a way to make it up to him. I know he’ll forgive me if I could just explain myself.”
Roy, on the other hand, was having completely different thoughts ‘How the hell could she cheat on me? She lied to me. She said she loved me. Last I checked, you don’t go and sleep with random people when you’re in love. It’s ok though, if she can cheat so can I, but with who? Yes, Edwards girlfriend will do nicely. I’ll show her what a real man can do. I’ll show them both’
It wasn’t until 6:30 when Roy had snapped at everyone and told them to go home or he was discharging them all, that April decided to enter his office. She noticed everyone in a seeming rush to leave his office “Did I come at a bad time? I can come back tomorrow.” Roy shook his head and almost instantly changed his demeanour “No, you came at just the perfect time, have at seat” he gestured to the seat in front of his desk, flashing his infamous smile. She wasn’t sure why but she suddenly felt extremely nervous under his gaze.
“So, tell me” he started “Why should I sponsor you?” She sat up confidently “Well, I believe I could be a valuable asset to the military.” Roy raised an eyebrow “Oh? And why is this?” April smiled “Firstly, I want to make Amestris a better country. And secondly, do you really think that Edward would have spent the last two years training me if he didn’t think I was worth something?” Roy nodded “So, you have some skill in both alchemy and hand to hand combat?” April smirked “Well, from what Ed has told me, I could certainly kick your ass any given day”
Roy actually laughed “Oh really? And what did Edward say that makes you think that?” “Well,” she started “He says you’re extremely lazy and extremely arrogant, he says that you could use a good ass kicking, he’d like to do it himself but he says he’s indebted to you.” Roy held in his laughter “Well, I’m glad Fullmetal finally realizes what I’ve done for him” April rolled her eyes “Can I join or not?” Roy paused in thought for a minute “If Edward thinks you’re worth something then I guess I could sponsor you.” April stood up “Thank you! I wont let you down, I promise that I’ll study really hard for the exams”
Roy sat back in his chair and put his arms behind his head ‘Now’s your chance Roy, you have her here in the office alone, move in for the kill’
