Chapter Text
how dare you
"Don't touch me," Riza barked, backing away from him as Roy reached out to comfort her. Or, find some comfort, some reassurance, for himself.
"Riza," he breathed, voice cracking. "Please," he begged.
"I trusted you," she stuttered quietly. "I gave you his secrets to use them for good." She covered her mouth with her hand, trying to stifle her sobs. "And look what you did."
The worst part was her voice never rose above a whisper.
"How dare you, Roy Mustang. Bastard."
Roy's body jerked upwards in bed, body drenched in sweat, heart hammering in his chest.
The bed next to him was empty. He'd reached out for some form of comfort, finding none. He was no longer in the desert. Traffic sounded from outside his bedroom window - he was back in East City.
Burying his face in his hands, Roy's body shook with silent sobs. The nightmare was a reminder of how he'd failed in her eyes. How he'd betrayed her. How he'd managed to drive away the one person who mattered most to him with his actions.
He didn't deserve her forgiveness, so wouldn't go looking for it.
