Flamed Out (Roy Mustang X Oc)

Chapter 59 (edited)

(Ngl this ones kinda boring lololol)

(Roy's POV)

Someone walked in. "Falman?"

"It's me."

"How is she?"

He paused. "Ah, she's okay. She's visiting Armstrong."

"So you'll lie for her now?" I followed his footsteps. "When did you two get so close?"

He scoffed. "It's not a lie!"

I sighed. "Come on, Armstrong has never drank tea with her."

He was quiet. "You don't know what happened on the gate.."

My chest ached after hearing that reminder. "Yeah, I know. No one's told me."

"From what I hear, Devlin relied a lot on Buccaneer." He finished.

"Yeah.. he got her through a lot.. and they talked often." He meant a lot to her.

"I've got plenty of fight left in me." He spoke absentmindedly.

Breda chuckled. "What?" There was silence, I assumed Falman dismissed him.

I smiled.

From what I was told, you put up a pretty good fight too.

Though, it hurts that you went to Falman instead of me... I guess there are some things I can't help you with.

(Hunter's POV)

I walked back to Roy's room after visiting Al and Ed for an hour.

I couldn't go back right away since I made such a dumb excuse. Armstrong has never drank tea with me..

Ed and Al laughed at me. Which made me feel even more embarrassed. I fumbled with the doorknob before opening the door, and walking in.

"How was 'tea'?" Breda put his book down.

"Fine." I sat down in the chair next to Roy.

"So is it true?"

I looked at Fury.

"That you blew up Bradley's train car?" He asked.

"Oh." I laughed. "Yeah." That's one of my proudest moments.

"Of course she did." Roy spoke.

"What about you guys? What did you do on the promised day?" I looked around the room.

"We were at the radio station with Mrs Bradley." Breda gestured to himself and Fury.

"The Colonel and I were under Central."

"Ah, you already knew where Falman and I were." I crossed my arms.

"How were you out there?" Roy turned to me. "You were on the frontlines against Central soldiers. Were you okay?"

Falman and I shared a look before I answered. "Fine." I kept my gaze fixed. I would not be going into detail, not today.

The room fell quiet.

"Well, I think that's enough for today Colonel." Breda and Fury stood up, putting aside their books.

"I have to be somewhere." Breda walked to the door.

"Ah." Roy nodded.

I watched Fury and Falman also get up and walked to the door.

"You too?" I looked at both of them.
