Ch.6

Once Riza reached her bedroom she sank down on her bed and finally let her tears flow freely "How the hell can this be happening?" she asked herself. "Last week I had thoughts of us living a happy life together. And now… now this happened. I don't know if I even have a right to be angry or not. It's my fault. This entire ordeal is my fault…" She punched her pillow "Even if it is my fault, that doest mean he had a right to do that! What was he thinking? Not only is our relationship being hurt by this, he probably destroyed April’s relationship with Ed." Riza let out a long sigh and lay back on her bed.


'You know you're just going to forgive him anyways, why not just get it over with?' her conscience asked. She turned onto her side, "I can't forgive him that easily. He’ll think that I don't care and so he can do it again. I'll just wait. I'll just wait to see if he comes to me. I'll give him three days. If he doesn’t at least call me by then, I'll know he doesn't care." Satisfied with her conclusion, she fell into a restless sleep.


Meanwhile, April was also having an internal debate on her way home from HQ. 'He said that nothing leaves the office…but, I'm not part of the office yet and I can't lie to Edward about something like this… Or could I? I could just not tell him’ she contemplated for a moment. ‘But, Edward is smart, he would figure it out." She sighed as she pulled out her keys "I have to tell him. I can only hope he'll forgive me. I doubt it though." She opened the door and walked in, giving a half-hearted smile to Ed who embraced her.


"How did it go? Did the bastard say yes? Or do I need to kick his ass?" the blonde asked, pulling her onto the couch. "Are you joking? Of course he said yes. After all, you were my teacher, the great hero of the people." she responded playfully. Edward grinned "Well, you were a really good student" he said, kissing her neck. April pulled away, feeling increasingly guilty. "Edward…I...I need to tell you something."


Ed only smiled "I know. You don't want to have sex, that's ok. But, I think we should celebrate a little bit." She shook her head "No, that's not it." He kissed her neck "Then it's not important right now." April sighed in frustration "Edward, it is important please listen to me." Ignoring her request, he continued what he was doing, until she was completely beneath him and he was straddling her. The blonde toyed with the buttons on her shirt "You don't really want me to stop now do you?" he asked teasingly. Noting her lack of response as she stopped protesting his advances he grinned and began to unbutton the top button of her shirt and kiss the exposed flesh.


It was at this point where she couldn't take it anymore "Edward! I kissed him…." April spurted out. Ed stopped and blinked a few times "You kissed him?” Ed asked incredulously “Is that it?" She nodded "That's all we did…but…we had planned on going farther." Ed moved off of her and sat on the opposite side of the couch, allowing her to sit up "What stopped you?" he asked. April kept her eyes fixed on the ground “Colonel Hawkeye interrupted us…." Ed slowly nodded taking it all in. He looked over to her and his breaking heart stirred for her and the pain she seemed to be in. He moved to her side and lifted her chin so she had to look at him "Tell me exactly what happened and don't spare me any details."

"I'm going to kill that bastard. I am going to castrate him" Ed growled with a positively virulent look in his eyes, after April had finished the story. "Edward, where are you going?" she asked, noticing him putting on his red coat. He whipped around "I told you. I'm going to kill him." April decided against getting up from the couch, Ed was scaring her. "Come on Ed, Colonel Hawkeye probably shot him after I left." April attempted to get him to stay.

"I don't care." Ed responded, opening the door "That bastard deserves to die twice." April sighed "Forget Roy. What about us? Is it over?” ‘Please say it isn't’ she pleaded. He shook his head "No. It isn't over. But that doesn't mean I forgive you." He said almost bitterly. "It's not over?! I'm not complaining…but why?" April asked in shock. "Because," Ed said taking a step out of the door "Because, I love you April." Having said that, he closed the door behind him. April just stared at the door in shock "He loves me?..."

Ed kicked the wall in the hallway on his way out 'Good job. Dumbass. So much for a romantic dinner tonight. This is all that bastard Mustang's fault. Him and his damn charm. I swear, I'm going to castrate him, then I'm going to make him eat it.' He smirked at the thought. 'I REALLY hope that Riza didn't shoot him.' Such thoughts kept a smile, albeit a malicious one, on Ed's face as he walked up the steps to HQ.

Ed glared at the door that had the words "Br. Gen. Mustang" written on it. "Alright, jackass, what the HELL we're you thinking?!" Ed growled, literally kicking in the door. "What made you think that you could seduce April? You bastard, you killed the perfect nigh-" Ed raised an eyebrow in confusion after realizing the office was empty. He looked at his pocket watch "The bastard still has another three hours to be here. I'll bet he's hiding from me because he knew I was going to kick his ass. I'll wait for him. He's not getting off the hook that easily." Having said that, Ed took a seat on the couch and waited.

Roy picked up the phone for the fourth time "Alright Roy, you can do it, just dial the numbers…246...” he hung up again, wondering if Riza was able to shoot a bullet through the telephone line. 'Maybe I should just go over there and beg forgiveness. She'll forgive me. She loves me.' He reasoned to himself. 'Yeah right she'll let me beg forgiveness and then shoot me anyways. I can just see the headlines now 'Brigadier General Roy Mustang, shot in the head and penis multiple times by girlfriend Colonel Riza Hawkeye'' he shuddered at the thought.

'I really fucked up' he concluded, turning to go up the steps to his office ‘Maybe I should just let Riza shoot me, at least then I wont be able to hurt her anymore.' He shook his head from those thoughts. Feeling bad about himself wouldn't bring Riza back to him. "I'll leave her alone for tonight,” he concluded. “But I'm going over there first thing tomorrow morning, and I'm not leaving until she forgives me… or she kills me."

Roy rounded the corner and noticed that the door to his office was missing "What the--?" he scanned the room and saw Ed giving him a look that made him take a step back. "Fullmetal?" he questioned.
