Algid Warmth

(because I like that word. :D DEH HEH yay for Oxymorons.)

Random Royainess! I know it probably sucks but still took me a while. By the way, Algid means cold. NOTE: Lots of contrasting between warm and cold in this fic XD random idea.


Roy frowned slightly at how cold the body he held in his arms felt. His frown faded into a smile. Remembering how some time ago he would always wonder, when he looked at his lieutenant, if her skin was really as cold as the stern look she usually wore on her face.

Obviously, he knew she wasn't a cold person. Riza Hawkeye had a gentle, tender heart. He owed everything to her, his rank, his life, his happiness, his heart. She meant everything to him.

Leaning closer, he whispered something into her ear, even though he was sure she was asleep.

"What..." She muttered without opening her eyes.

"I thought you were asleep," He replied simply wrapping his arms around her tighter.

"... I am." Riza sighed softly.

The fact that her skin felt so cold alarmed Roy, and at the same time, fascinated him. How she could look so comfortable. The feeling of touching her cool arm, the refreshingly clean scent of her hair. It felt exotic, in Mustang's opinion.

"Are you cold?" He questioned.

She turned around to face him.

"How could I?" Riza opened her eyes slowly "You're so close."

That brough a sweet grin upon Roy's lips.

"You still feel kind of chilly..." He commented.

"No, you're just too warm." She told him.

Silence Followed.

Riza was sure it was impossible to feel a greater happiness and comfort, regardless of the obstacles. Just being by his side made her feel like her heart was warm and safe, but it would sometimes skip a beat, too, even though they were comfortable being so close to each other now. Hawkeye felt like the pain and suffering were all worth it, if she could continue by his side. Even if for every happy moment there would be even more sad ones, she was willing to risk everything, to remain by him. She would be there for him, even if it was just to help him bear the suffering.. or share the happiness.

A soft sigh escaped from her lips, as she shifted a little to get comfortable in his arms, and closed her eyes again.

But that didn't last long. Her rest was once again interrupted by Roy, pressing his lips against hers. But she soon found herself kissing him back.

"Okay, now go to sleep." Riza commanded after pulling away gently.

"Just wanted to check if your lips were cold, too." Roy explained calmly and yawned.

The rolling of Riza eyes was accompanied by a smile.

Just then, she pulled him into another quick kiss.

"I'm not cold. I've never felt warmer."

THE EEEEEEEND.


Yay for my sucky writing. My attempt of writing something serious for once- Since Insanity and Hina go well together. Like Roy and Riza. And that's why the sky is infinite. OR IS IT!

Ok. I tried to work on the Cold/Warm thing a lot, which ended up making it repetitive.. I couldn't find any other good words for Cold, besides Algid. HEH XD
