AN: This is a 17th b-day request fic for Doctor Kiba. Happy Birthday! The request was a fic where Roy was already established as fuehrer. An idea then came to me instantly, which rarely happens. Hope you like it Kiba!

New Duties For Hawkeye

Roy stood there in his house, his new Fuehrer's mansion, to be exact. He looked around and realized that he felt like a fish out of water. He felt so small in the large house and the realization of his position hit him.

He'd been calm through his acceptance speech and at the party afterward, and while driving here in the car with Hawkeye. Now he wanted to scream, how could someone like him run an entire country? He never thought that of all the feelings he would be feeling during the night he became fuehrer that panic would be the most dominate one of the bunch.

He stood still in the middle of the room until he heard footsteps approach. He turned to see Hawkeye looking at him strangely. He would have laughed at himself if he weren't so terrified.

"I should be going sir," Riza said. "Your security details are all. . ."

"What do you mean go? You can't leave," he said quickly.

"What do you mean I can't go? Is there something I forgot to do? Is there something you need sir?"

"You," he said before he knew what exactly he said.

"Pardon?" Riza said, not thinking that she'd heard him correctly.

For a moment, Roy could hardly believe that he'd said that, but realized that he was telling the truth. She had been behind him all these year, she'd been standing behind him during his acceptance speech, sat beside him at the party, and drove here in the care with him. It was only when she left him that his thoughts and doubts crept in.

"You," he said. "I need you here."

"Sir, you have a busy day tomorrow you should get to bed . . ."

"Only if you stay," he replied. Riza blinked. She was surprised at the request and apparently, Roy saw that surprise. He walked over to her, his own dress shoes tapping against the marble floors and echoing. She had a position in the military it was true but unofficially she also filled another position that was very important and he knew that no one else would ever fit in better in his eyes than the woman before him.

"You are a general now," he stated, as if she didn't know about the huge promotion he was going to bestow upon her. "But I have another duty that I want you to fill. You've already done it unofficially today so I figured that I should add it to your official duties. If that's all right with you?"

"Certainly sir, what is it?"

"First Lady of Amestris," he said.

To say she was shocked would have been an understatement. That duty was huge, and unmarried fuehrers didn't often bestow that on someone that wasn't related to them. She then realized that he said official. . .

"What do you mean by official exactly?"

He grabbed her hand and held it. "You and Hayate move in here, you wear a huge diamond ring on this finger right here for a while and after a while, another band joins it. Maybe we can hear a few little feet patter across these floors someday."

Riza's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what Roy was doing. She'd always hoped he cared for her that way but even if he had confessed, she'd never imagined he would do this.

"Well?" he asked.

"It is a big house and I couldn't possibly refuse my duties could I?"

He smiled and kissed her.

"You're staying?" he asked when he pulled away.

"I'm staying."
