Losing her was unacceptable. A Royai fanfic
chapter 3 chapter 2 chapter 1
It was a lovely night, the sky was clear and the stars were able to shine through. It reminded Roy of the night where he and Riza would stay at work far too late to the point where they were both exhausted and he would purposely take his time walking to the car with her, caught up in the thought of walking beside her on a moonlit night, regardless of the circumstance.
During the months that Erika had been working for him, the two had become close. She was like a beam of sunshine and proved herself to be one of the most compassionate people Mustang had ever met. He confided in her his frustrations about the military, his fear of failing as fuhrer, and how jealous he was that Havoc was spending most of his free time with Rebecca Catalina since they had started dating. But he never expressed to her the kind of feelings he had in moments like these.
She knew he missed Riza, but she didn’t know how deep it really went. She didn’t know how he felt about nights like these. Roy hated to admit it, but he didn’t entirely dislike Erika. She was very warm, always going out of her way to say hello to him and ask him about his day. She loved his sense of humor and filled the office with laughter. She was especially patient with Mustang, for she sensed his hesitation around her, but she was determined to not only be a good assistant but to be a good friend to him.
The two of them were walking back from a meeting with some volunteers in the Ishval rebuilding, a meeting which had ran very late. Roy was walking unusually fast, surprisingly not tired after having been working a full day and then some, and Erika struggled to keep up with his fast pace in her skirt and high heels.
“Sir, if you could just slow down a little bit, I’d really appreciate it,” she said with a chuckle.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” he said. “It’s just that I’m usually home by now to take Black Hayate for his walk. It’s later than I thought it’d be and we still have those clearance forms to look over before tomorrow.”
“Black Hayate… that was Captain Hawkeye’s dog, wasn’t it?”
