* * *

Roy had more secrets than any one man should. His heritage was an enigma even to him, though he suspected his foster mother knew. Chris Mustang was the only mother Roy had ever known but he had to keep her identity deeply hidden from everyone. As Madame Christmas, she taught him and his 'siblings' how to deal in secrets from childhood, impressing on him the power of such knowledge.

His master taught him secrets, taking the biggest of them to his grave. Roy learned that one from Master Hawkeye's beautiful daughter. To his horror, she followed him to war and their true history had to be concealed. Later, their clandestine love bore sharp edges that could destroy them. Public denial was their only recourse but their actions always gave them away. They couldn't live without each other and people had heard them admit it.

His surreptitious role in covering up the Elric brothers' mistake could cost him everything. He lied to the Fuhrer for the boys, enlisted Edward under false pretenses. They could destroy him if they were less than furtive and he could do the same to them. Homunculi, the military's secret plans, Roy knew he had too many secrets but tonight he was sneaking off to an inn to spend the weekend with his love and let the secrets keep themselves.
