A distant train horn can be heard throughout the city, it was just now becoming dawn. A perfect time, it's not too bright nor dark nor gloomy. A light cool breeze blows through the two inch gap opening of the window, causing the curtains to sway gently.

There's a bit of wrestling before a soft sigh. Warm bodies press against each other, creating comfort and security between them.

Roy Mustang's chest is pressed against Riza Hawkeye's back, his arms wrapped around her waist, and nuzzled in the crook of her neck. While Riza is hugging her fluffy feathery pillow and nuzzling into the softness.

The cool breeze cascaded across Roy's naked arm, stirring him awake. He opens his dark eyes and stares out the window, seeing birds fly by and hearing the distant train. He shifts a bit and leans into the blonde beneath him, kissing her soft skin ever so softly, causing her to stir awake.

Brown eyes look over into gray eyes, both holding strong contact before Roy is the one to break it by a big goofy smile. “You're so pretty in the morning~” He compliments and leans over, kissing her lips gently. Riza turns around and wraps her arms around the man's neck as they continue to kiss. Though, she was the first to pull away.

“Why are you up so early? It's our day off,” Riza spoke quiet and gentle, “You usually complain about being up early.” She chuckles and nuzzles her cheek against his.

“I am tired but I wanted a bit of attention,” Roy says and tightens his arms around Riza's a bit more. “Also I like this time of day,” He explains, “Everything is so quiet. No one walking around the street being a disturbance, no police whistle, no children screaming as they play down the streets. The only thing that's hearable is the breeze, trains miles away and few wind chimes.” He smiles and looks at his beautiful wife. “And there's you,” He kisses her forehead, “My beautiful wife, who sticks up with my bullshit, oh how I love you so much.”

Riza's smile grew as Roy talks, love hearing about what he thinks. She leans forward and kisses her husband, staying close for a bit before pulling away. “I love you too, Roy. I love you from now and forever.” She says.

Roy hums happily and kisses her forehead before nuzzling into her soft blonde hair as she nuzzles into his neck. Soft breathing can be heard before it shifts into heavier breathing as their bodies relaxes; indicating they’re asleep, once again.

Note: Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! I woke this in the middle of the night and falling asleep as I did it lol

Roy and Riza has become my beloved husband and wife and I love them dearly! Lol

---------------

Despite the circumstances, Riza had to admit she was amused.

Without fail, at least one day of the late summer festival the town held was rained out. There wasn't a year in living memory that it hadn't happened; everyone just accepted it as a given.

As such, it hadn't occurred to her to warn Roy that this was an eventuality for which he would need to prepare.

It had taken mere minutes for the clouds to roll in.

At first, Roy had been confused by Riza's urging that they head home. After all, a little rain never hurt anyone, he'd said.

The second thing Riza had neglected to mention was that it was never just a little rain. While there was rarely lightning or thunder, the rain was absolutely torrential, sending anyone unlucky to be stuck out in it scrambling for cover. They'd been able to use their jackets as makeshift umbrellas until they'd found a tree to shelter underneath, but they'd practically had to wring them out as they'd waited for the squall to pass.

Roy was insisting it had. Riza was insisting it hadn't.

"I've lived here all my life and this happens every year. You don't have to believe me, but I hope you're a fast runner," she advised.

"The rain's let up! I can see the edge of the cloud over there!" Roy pointed.

"So just wait the ten minutes it'll take for it to reach us and then we can be on our way!" Riza told him.

"Are you always this stubborn?" Roy asked.

Riza smirked. "Only when I'm right."

"Look—" Roy marched out from under the tree. "—it's barely sprinkling. I'll just stand out here and wai—"

The rain picked back up so fast it surprised even Riza. She stared in shock as Roy became drenched in seconds. Unable to help it, she began to laugh.

"I know... I shouldn't say I told you so," she gasped.

"Then don't," Roy groused.

"And where would the fun be in that?" Riza wanted to know.

Roy wasted no time. He stepped forward, took Riza's hand, and pulled her out into the rain and to him, his lips meeting hers before she could protest. Despite the weather, he was warm and, she was discovering, rather good at kissing. She was happy to remain where she was.

The rain was letting up again anyway. Maybe this year, it really wasn't so bad.

Chapters: 1/4 Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga Rating: Mature (mostly teen but the very end gets a little extra content) Warnings: None Relationships: Riza Hawkeye/Roy Mustang Additional Tags: Teasing, Very light smut, Temptation, Emotionally Repressed, Jealousy Summary:

“Is that who I think it is?” Riza spun in her stool to see Maes Hughes towering over them with an obnoxious smile. “Didn’t you have a birthday party to attend? Is this the lucky birthday boy?” To her horror, Ian stood from his chair to greet Maes with a handshake. “Not exactly. Major Ian Davies, friend of the birthday girl.” Riza slid from her seat to stand beside Ian. “Is the rest of the unit here?” “They left around 1:30. Roy stayed out with me.” He looked smug. Ian looked interested to hear that. “Colonel Roy Mustang?” “In the flesh,” responded her Colonel as he came up behind Hughes. Riza made eye contact with him. He looked stunned to see her standing beside the Major. It was clear he hadn’t seen her through the crowd. His jaw ticked slightly when he processed the image standing in front of him. NOTE: This fic is on the line between teen & mature but I chose to rate it mature to be on the safe side.

overcome - snippet #4 [countdown to october 3rd]

overcome, chapter fourteen:

"If someone sees, then I'd offer to burn their eyeballs out," He murmured in her ear, the corner of his lip upturned in a crooked smile. “But that'll create so much paperwork. Any other ideas?”  He was clearly joking, and trying to distract her. His words were so utterly absurd that Riza laughed weakly in surprise, which came out as nothing more than a hitching hiccup in her current state. She relaxed further in his embrace, feeling the responding, rumbling chuckle in his chest.  He was so warm, pliant but firm against her, and so comforting. His hand was stroking along the bare skin of the back of her neck, from the ends of her short hair and down her spine over her t-shirt, his touch light but soothing. She wasn't even sure if he was aware he was doing it, but fuck if it wasn't the most comforting gesture she'd ever felt in her entire life. When was the last time someone had comforted her like this? The memories were foggy, likely stemming far back from childhood when her mother was still alive.  She'd been so accustomed to self-soothing that she'd forgotten how good it felt, to be wrapped in someone else's arms, to lean on someone else. To not be in control, for once.

never thought we’d ever have to go without (viii)

summary: 

Their breakup was amicable. They were both going in two different directions with their lives and where Roy was going - the military and the numerous off the grid sites for weeks or sometimes months on end – he wouldn’t ask her to wait for him. She deserved to live her own life, not wait around for him and his ambitions.

When a tragedy befalls their child, Roy and Riza are left devastated. They come together to work through it while waiting for her to wake from her injuries

“Okay, little love?” He immediately sat on the edge of her bed and ran a thumb over her forehead. Mia’s fringe was brushed off her face and Dad cupped her cheek as he smiled down at her. Mia felt so loved and cared for. She felt safe. And she was so pleased he was still there, with them. Just like she’d always silently hoped he would be, one day. “Yeah, Dad.” He pressed a kiss against her forehead. “Sleep well. And if you need anything, just give us a shout, all right?” He rose to stand beside Mum, slipping his hand into hers. “Are you going to be staying with us, Dad?” Apparently, her tiredness had caused a burst of courage and boldness. But Mia didn’t miss how Mum and Dad shared a soft look. Dad tried to remain casual and neutral – but failed. He immediately looked to Riza, expectantly.

Teaser for my Royai WIP

So, I dusted off this baby. I left off a couple years ago and it was 9k of Roy being an ass in denial throughout canon. It's all very, "We are just friends! Why does everyone think we're together?"

Then Riza loses it because she thinks Roy was killed.

"Wait a second. Wait. Does...Hawkeye have feelings for me?"

"Nah. No way. She's too smart for that."

Then she's taken as a hostage under Bradley and Roy is like, "Okay. Fuck. Why does it feel like someone has carved my heart out of my chest? Why do I miss her so much? WTF!"

I love to torture Roy and I don't know why.

Untitled WIP snippet

Roy knew from a young age what type of woman he liked—the beautiful girls who worked for his aunt. Willowy and soft, or with plentiful curves in the right places. They had long hair and painted their lips. They wore flowery perfumes.

As an apprentice to Berthold Hawkeye, teenage Roy spent much of his limited free time chasing the experienced village girls who liked the idea of fooling around with an aspiring alchemist.

Riza Hawkeye, boyish in both looks and demeanor, plus much too young for him, wasn’t on his radar. And he wasn’t on her radar at all. When she was fourteen, she accidentally walked out the door right when he was kissing his girlfriend on the doorstep.

Riza turned bright red and immediately retreated back into the safety of the house. She had recovered by the time Roy bumped into her in the kitchen.

“Sorry about that,” he said, scratching the back of his head nervously. He didn’t want to get in trouble with Master Hawkeye for traumatizing his innocent child. “I didn’t mean to give you a terrible memory.”

“Yes, it was kind of terrible. I don’t think you’re supposed to suck both lips into your mouth.”

“Apology rescinded,” he said, tossing a bread roll at her head which she easily dodged. Riza so rarely insulted him, but when she did, she didn’t hold back.

She could tear a man down with just a few words. Roy preferred girls who showered him with flirtatious praise. Maybe it was because Master Hawkeye was constantly dragging Roy’s ego through the mud, but he craved even the shallowest praise from his girlfriends.

Riza clearly took after her father with her barbs.

Royai Scene 129

Small idea I've had on the back burner for awhile. But one I like nonetheless.

Enjoy!

.....................................

(It's a few days after the incident with Scar. Roy is sitting at his desk ignoring the paperwork he has to do, mostly because he's holding his lower back and groaning.)

H: Still feeling sore, Colonel?

(He sees Riza placing some more paperwork for him to look over.)

M: No, Lieutenant. I just like groaning while holding my back.

H: Well, you can't be that bad of if you can make jokes. I'll be right back.

(She leaves the office. Roy watches her leave and can't help smirking; if he knows his Lieutenant as well as he thinks he does? She probably went off to find some painkillers and an ice pack for him.)

[booklovingturtle]

I love this take,

but I think that I always just interpreted his “slacker” facade is more of an exaggeration of his personal convictions. Roy doesn’t do his work and/or get behind on paperwork because he doesn’t care but more because he would much rather do literally any other part of his job than sitting at a desk doing what I assume he perceives to be “busy work”

Roy is a dedicated, hard-working man otherwise he wouldn’t be as skilled of an alchemist as he is. He also wouldn’t be able to overthrow the government or function as an effective leader (both for the unit and the country later on) if he wasn’t all of those things, so yeah, his slacker personality is definitely a façade (and I wish more writers approached his character from that lens) but I also think that it is an exaggeration of how he can sometimes prioritize his personal aspirations over the day-to-day tasks of his job.

I could be wrong in my interpretation, but from my perspective, it always seems like the problem wasn’t that he didn’t care, but he cares a lot more about other things, so Riza doesn’t babysitting him (even though that is the facade that they put on for the sake of public) instead she helps him manage his focus on what still needs to be done as a part of their traditional roles.

This is one of those things that shows how Royai balances each other out in way that a healthy (work/platonic/romantic) partnership has the potential to. I think my interpretation of them presents Roy as seeing the forest and Riza more the trees.

Hope that makes sense

every time i see fic where mustang procrastinates on paperwork and riza has to scold/nag/threaten him into doing it i have to click away immediately. like, either tag your 03 works correctly, or watch brotherhood/the manga again. mustang’s procrastination is very clearly shown to be a facade. hawkeye being his babysitter is very clearly shown to be a facade. in fact i want to point out this brilliant moment in episode 31, after the team is reassigned and riza comes to his office to pick up some books. they banter about their very macabre secret promise like dweebs, and then riza opens the door before turning to tease roy about his paperwork. even at this point, they’re keeping up the facade for the benefit of anyone else listening.
