As the Rain Falls
Today was like any other day, the sun was slowly setting on Central Headquarters as the two usual people left for their daily stroll through the city.
"So lieutenant, where should we go this time?" A mans voice said in a casual tone.
"Sir, I told you, you can call me Riza." A women's voice replied, slightly annoyed. He just ignored her, as usual. The man was tall, with short jet-black hair, and Japanese-style coal colored eyes, his relatives were from Xing after all. He was wearing a blue military uniform decorated with many shiny badges, that showed his achievements. Under his jacket, he had on a white dress shirt. She was also tall, but a little shorter than her partner. She had dark bronze eyes and long blond hair thrown up in a pin behind her head, and was wearing her normal black turtle-neck t-shirt with blue military pants and a pair of shiny combat boots.(Remember, no coat!)
"Well," The woman named Riza began, finally answering his question. "the cafe looks deserted, so lets try there."
"Yes, it seems so". Said the man as they walked over and sat down in the table nearest the door after walking through the threshold.
"Ah, if it isn't Colonel Roy Mustang and Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. What can I get for you two today?" said the waiter, who seemed to know them.
"I'll have a cup of black coffee and she'll have the Green Tea." Said Mustang. He was well aware of her usual order.
"Excellent! Your orders will be here shortly."Said the waiter, smiling as he walked away. Riza wasn't really surprised that he ordered for her, this was their usual routine after all. It started ever since they got together for various reasons such as work, and soon it became a daily part of each other's schedules. But she was happy anyway, because she got to spend time with the one she wanted to protect. She knew that she had feelings for him, but she never told anybody. Not even him. Roy didn't mind either. Mostly because he, like Riza, had feelings for his partner as well. But, he never showed a loving gesture towards her. At least, none that would give him away. Knowing that if anything happened between the two of them, it would just cause trouble for them both back at Headquarters, so he too kept it a secret.
After a few minutes and a long, awkward silence between the two, their drinks arrived.
"Okay, lets see here, one coffee and one Green Tea." The waiter said, placing the drinks in front of them. "You folks have a good night now, okay?"
The two said their thank-yous and sipped their drinks until they were done.
It started raining a little as it grew later into the night. By the time the two got outside, it was pouring. Riza was almost soaked to the bone, unlike Roy, who wore his jacket. He decided not to be a jerk and draped his coat around her so she was covered as well.
Riza was surprised when she felt the warmth of Mustang's body. She looked at him with generous eyes, thanking him. Surprisingly, she was enjoying every minute of it, knowing that he cared. Taking the moment to her advantage, she wrapped her arms around him, and they walked like that, all the way to headquarters.
Roy was shocked by her decision, but stopped himself from breaking his calm exterior as they headed towards Headquarters.
Soon they arrived at the gates. Riza thanked him for his generous favor. She then started towards the gates until she heard him say something.
"Riza, wait!" Roy yelled. Wait, did he just call her? He saw her turn to face him.
"What sir?" Riza questioned. Roy was thinking as the rain fell softer. Now was his chance.
Riza was thinking What could he possibly want after everything he-her thoughts were cut off when she felt his lips crash into hers. When she finally came to her senses, all she saw was Mustang, walking away as if nothing happened. She too walked away, and followed her Colonels example.
