#01 - Comfort
When
Riza walks into headquarters, it’s a comfort to see them all arranged in their
places, but she never really relaxes until she spots the colonel at his desk.
#02 -
Kiss
Riza
rarely thinks about kissing anyone, but, if asked, the first name that pops
into her mind is always his.
#03 -
Soft
He
notices it time and time again: how soft her hair looks, how lustrous the locks
are, shining and bright and so golden it’s like the sun, and sometimes all he
wants to do is touch it to see if it’s really as soft as he imagines.
#04 -
Pain
They’re
out in the pouring rain, and blood is on the ground, being washed away even as
they watch, and all Riza can do is hold onto her colonel and tell him the pain
will pass soon.
#05 -
Potatoes
Black
Hayate has somehow managed to dig a potato up and carries it around
headquarters proudly; although she wants to scold him, Roy laughing so hard he
nearly falls over makes her pause.
#06 -
Rain
She
shivers, cold in the light drizzle because she stupidly forgot her jacket, and
he hands her his without quite meeting her eyes.
#07 -
Chocolate
He
buys her chocolate on Valentine’s Day, just because he can and doesn’t give a
damn about military regulations.
#08 -
Happiness
Happiness
is an office is chaos, Roy roaring orders, and her standing by his side.
#09 -
Telephone
“Colonel,
please don’t abuse your phone so much,” and he tries to place the receiver down
softer next time.
#10 -
Ears
He
grins, teeth bared and all beauty, and Riza laughs as he holds her tight and
nibbles on one ear.
#11 -
Name
“Be
careful, Roy,” and it’s the first time she’s called him by his name, but it
flows off her tongue as easily as anything else, natural and beautiful and
tasting like honey.
#12 -
Sensual
He
appeals to her in all the wrong ways, although Riza will never admit it aloud.
#13 -
Death
When
she thinks he’s dead, she’s never cried so hard.
#14 -
Sex
“And
then I--” Roy says, only to stop as Riza comes into the room because it feels strange
to relate his sexual adventures when she’s around.
#15 -
Touch
His
fingers gently brush her cheek, so quickly and softly she nearly thinks it’s
her imagination, but she hopes it’s not.
#16 -
Weakness
If
anyone were to ask what her weakness is, Riza would say him, because she loves
him too much, cares for him too much, and she would break if anything were to
happen to him.
#17 -
Tears
She
sniffs and wipes the tears away, head down and shoulders shaking, and she’s
never been more vulnerable, and Roy can’t help but wonder even as he puts his
arms around her whether she’s allowed herself to cry in front of anyone else
before.
#18 -
Speed
She
screams, and he runs so fast that for a minute he thinks he flies.
#19 -
Wind
With
the breeze in her long, undone hair, ruffling the kimono he forced her to wear
for the picture (that he didn’t really want to take in the first place, but oh
well), she’s the most beautiful woman in the world.
#20 -
Freedom
Freedom
is a military that doesn’t restrict them from seeing each other; without this
freedom, they simply must become more creative.
#21 -
Life
Her
life is his to use as he wills, but Riza isn’t afraid of him abusing it.
#22 -
Jealousy
Whenever
she sees him leave with a woman on his arm, she can feel her face go a dull
red, feel the heat rise to her cheeks and boil somewhere deep in her chest even
though it’s foolish.
#23 -
Hands
His
hands are large and scarred, callouses lining the palms and fingers, and Riza
can’t help but shiver whenever they glide over her.
#24 -
Taste
She
tastes of peaches, although Roy can’t figure out how in the hell she manages it
when she hasn’t had the fruit all day.
#25 -
Devotion
Devotion
is her bringing his coffee in the morning; her silent support next to him as he
struggles through things he’s still too young to face; her smile when he does a
good job, and her gun when they’re on the front line and everyone is falling
falling but she’s there, as always, and she will never leave him.
#26 -
Forever
“No,
sir -- forever really isn’t that long at all.”
#27 -
Blood
She
calmly reloads her gun and shoots again, watching the red splatter across the
wall, and wonders if he feels this detachment too.
#28 -
Sickness
She
stares him long enough to make him uncomfortable, so he shifts from foot to
foot at the threshold of her door and holds out a container of what looks like
chicken noodle soup, saying that he thought she would like it and she had
better be back at work tomorrow; Riza knows she’ll come, even if she’s not well
enough to yet.
#29 -
Melody
He
hums a silly little song Havoc taught him under his breath, and the thought of
Colonel Mustang singing is just so hilarious that Riza bursts out laughing in
the middle of the otherwise silent room.
#30 -
Star
The
first time he kisses her, at night and against an alleyway wall, she sees stars
and can’t breathe for a full minute after he releases her.
#31 -
Home
Home
is in his arms.
#32 -
Confusion
Riza
blinks at the papers littering the floor, saying in a deadpan voice, “What did
you do this time, sir?”
#33 -
Fear
He
laughs when he learns she’s deathly afraid of bees, then kisses her and makes a
soft buzzing sound in the back of his throat (he regrets that one later).
#34 -
Lightning/Thunder
The
storm is all around them, thundering vibrating through their bones, and, when
lightning illuminates Roy’s face -- rain-streaked and solemn -- Riza knows
things are about to change.
#35 -
Bonds
The
strings between them aren’t visible to anyone else, but both can feel them when
they move and act and breathe, even; they can feel the ties that bind them
together in so many ways they can’t even name them or say it aloud.
#36 -
Market
Riza
still can’t figure it out -- the dating market is always open to him, but he
chose her instead.
#37 -
Technology
It
takes her days to learn how to set up the new phone, but only an hour to
understand how he works.
#38 -
Gift
His
gifts aren’t physical objects, but the praise he gives her, the smiles he
offers her, and the hand he holds out when she finally reaches him.
#39 -
Smile
“You
should smile more, Lieutenant,” and Riza vows to try.
#40 -
Innocence
She
isn’t innocent when she comes to him, and he is as far from pure as snow after
Hayate romps in it, but none of that really matters, not really.
#41 -
Completion
She’s
the only one he’ll (sometimes) listen to regarding his paperwork.
#42 -
Clouds
They
lay on the field, staring up at the clouds and the priceless baby-blue sky, and
for once they’re only eight years old instead of war-scarred veterans.
#43 -
Sky
It
starts to rain, and Riza hides a smile as Roy groans.
#44 -
Heaven
She
murmurs against his skin, and Roy realizes that he’s holding an angel.
#45 -
Hell
The
battlefield is quiet, shivering after the latest batch of fighting, and Riza huddles
behind the outpost buildings, eyes closed and the gun gone cold in her hands as
she waits for her colonel to tell her to get ready.
#46 -
Sun
“No, I
don’t care if I’m ‘blocking your sun’, sir.”
#47 -
Moon
Sometimes,
if he stares long enough, Roy can see the moon in her hair, lighting her up and
displaying to the world that yes, she is indeed the most exquisite creature
he’s ever seen.
#48 -
Waves
When
they take a vacation to the beach and the waves knock down the sandcastle he’d
carefully spent the last hour constructing, Riza kneels in the soft sand next
to him and helps to build a new one.
#49 -
Hair
When
Riza touches his hair, she realizes that he uses more conditioner than even she
does.
#50 -
Supernova
Everyone
always says they have such an amazing bond, even before they (secretly) start
seeing each other; they understand what the other says without words, sometimes
without even body gestures; without him, she feels so empty she could break,
and Riza knows that nothing less than a supernova could ever separate them, and
sometimes she thinks that even that would be insufficient.
