Chibi Kain as Kain, Maes and Roy.
Jean's Envy as Jean and Ed.
The scene: The next morning, Kain's house.
Kain: -Wakes up warm and content. He nuzzles against the warm object below him as he slowly starts to clear his foggy mind. Opening his eyes he looks down and blinks- Jean? ... Oh... that's right...... -Still looking at him he lays back down and snuggles, laying his head and hand on Jean's chest, a small smile on his face-
Jean: -Yawns and slowly opens eyes. Smiles- Good morning. How are you feeling?
Kain: -Smiles at him- I'm fine... Jean.... really, thank you... thank you so much. -He leans up and hesitates a moment before kissing him lightly, like a butterfly peck on his lips- (1)
Jean: -Returns the kiss, gently- Mmm, I can't think of a better way to wake up –Grin-
Kain: -Blushes and coughs- Umm… well, better get up, we got work…ummm -Gets up and shuffles off to his room, blushing, and gets ready for work- Umm do you need to use my iron for your uniform? -Motions to Jean's wrinkled one he was sleeping in. On his way by he takes one look at the roses before dumping them in the trash. They were from a person he could care less about now-
Jean: -Gets up chuckling- You're cute when you blush...I'll iron my clothes myself, you don't need to do it. But I do need you for something else: Got any good ideas for how to get back at the Colonel?
Kain: Turns away from him- I just want to forget about it... go on with life. It happened, it's done, there's no undoing it.... just forget it, ok Jean. Please... I don't want to get on his bad side.... ok... and I don't want you getting in trouble because of it.
Jean:-Puts his hand on his shoulder- Ok, I'm sorry I mentioned it.
Kain: -Looks up at him and hugs him- Thanks for wanting to do something, but... two wrongs don't make a right, -Stops him from talking- even if they make you feel better. It's still wrong. -Smiles and kisses his cheek-
Jean: -Smiles- You're right. Hey, we better get ready for work. Oh, and I never did say it properly: Happy Valentines Day. -Kisses his forehead-
Kain: -Smiles and blushes a little- Happy Valentines Day Jean... -Hugs him then goes back to getting ready-
XxxxxxxXxxxxxxX
-Once at the office there was chit chat all around; many of the women with their flowers or little trinkets from there men and the men with pictures or kickeys from their ladies-
Maes: AHHHH!!! HAVOC FUERY!! Look at her, my little Elicia!! ISN'T SHE JUST ADORABLE WITH HER NEW WITTLE DWESSY WESSY!!! LOOK LOOK!!! -Shoves the pictures in their faces- OHH SHE'S SO PHOTOGENIC!!
Kain: She's adorable Maes, she really is. Do I get a copy?
-Maes nods vigorously and hands him an envelope of all the copies he made-
Jean: She is cute. –Smiles- I love kids, they're always so funny...-He then notices Roy out of the corner of his eyes. Frowns. Changes his position so Fuery can't see Roy-
Do I get an envelope too Maes?
Maes: YES!!!! -Hands him an envelope- I HAVE PLENTY!! Oh and how was your date last night Fuery? Hmmmm was it special, hmmmmm?
Kain: -Looks sad a moment then smiles- Yeah it was pretty special.
Maes: Ohhh tell me all the juicy details, but, later. ROY!!!! HAHAHA!! LOOK AT THE NEW PICTURES I TOOK OF ELICIA!!!!
Kain: -Freezes at the mention of the name and quickly marches to his desk- .....
Jean: -Follows him, hand on his shoulder. Turns back to glare at Roy though he doesn't see him-
Kain: It's ok, I'm fine. -Sees the roses on his desk with a card and reads it. His body becoming stiff as the takes the card, vase, and roses over to a window and tosses them out- Fun time indeed. -Plops down in his seat and sighs- .... Card said I had a fun time last night.... and that he only wishes he had more "personal" time with me.... -Sighs- ....
Jean: -With attitude- Oh no he didn't! What a perv! -Turns around and sees Ed reading a card with a lovesick expression on his face. Turns back to Fuery- Look, I know what you said before but I need to do this. HEY ED!
Ed: -Drops card in shock- Winry's not my girlfriend! I mean, what?
Jean: Roy just said that you're so short that the only horse you could ride is a Shetland pony and even that would be too big for you!
Ed-WHAT?! Mustang, I will freaking break your face!!!
Kain: -Wide eyed- JEAN!!!! Oh dear... oh deary dear... -Jumps up when loud bangs and clangs are heard and jumps behind Havoc when an explosion of fire and smoke comes from the office-
Roy: FULLMETAL!!!! BURN IN HELL SHORTY!!! -More sounds of fighting could be heard-
Kain: Oh dear... -Once the fighting stopped Ed came from the office singed in places before going back to his desk and looking at the card once more- Ummm...
Roy: FUERY!!!!
Kain: Oh dear, YES SIR COMING SIR!! -Sighs and runs in, peeking into the office- Umm you called for me? -Looks at the damages and sighs-
Roy: ... I just got a call about a flying vase of roses. Didn't you have a good time? I know you left early, I was a bit disappointed…
Kain: N... no, I… I…umm…I just wasn't feeling well sir. Sorry sir…
Roy: …Roy.
Kain: Umm, Roy...
Jean: -Runs in- I'm sorry to interrupt but I can't let you get hurt again Fuery. Roy, you really hurt him last night. Apologize!
Roy: Hurt him?! He was just sick... Stop butting in to affairs that are not your own.. Now Fuery, as I was saying...
Kain: .... It's true, sir...
Roy: Hmmm?
Jean: -Pats Kain on his shoulder- You tell him. You can fight your own battles but I'll stay here just in case. -Continues to glare at Roy-
Roy: ... - Raises his eyebrow at them- What seems to be the problem?
Kain: .... Why did you do that the other night? I trusted you Roy!
Roy: And you were fine... I have dated every one of them all week. I invited all of them that night to see who I liked the most. The only one that didn't fawn over me like a god was you. That is what I like about you. You see the person regardless of their status. We had an hour to get to know each other and then they came. I meant what I said... I wish you had stayed because I was tiring of them. WE could have had more personal time together.
Kain: ....... You used me..... to find out who you liked more...... if that was true.... then you would have come after me. I barely had enough money for the food I didn't eat, and no money to call home for help or get a taxi... I walked for an hour to get home! I had no gun neither and we were in a part of town I haven't been to because one paycheck is used up there. I didn't know where I was! I did have trust in you..... now I don't... that was not a fun time, it was hell.... at least some one was there to make it better... -Smiles a little at Jean-
Jean: -Thinking- Temptation....to...hug...too...great... -Hugs Kain with a big smile on his face. Turns to Roy- Seriously Roy, how could you possibly do a thing like that?! You treated him and all those other people like candy in a store, deciding which one you liked best. He's a PERSON and should be treated like one. Everyone else there did too.
Roy: No one really cared. At the end they all said they had a good time. Apparently Fuery here just isn't able to deal with that. -Sighs- Oh well; like they say, you win some you lose some. Congratulations Havoc, you won him. -Goes back to his work-
Kain: -Slams his hands on Roy's desk- I'M NOT A PRIZE TO BE WON!!! I'M A FUCKING PERSON!!! -Runs out of the room and left the building. He didn't run home or to any of his usual hangs. He didn't stop for anyone, he just kept running. He only stopped when his legs gave out somewhere in downtown Central. He hadn't even noticed it was raining until he felt the muddy water seeping through the legs of his uniform.
Jean: -Walks up to him holding an umbrella and a package under his arm- Hey…
Kain: ... -Looks up at him after a few minutes, noticing the heavy rain wasn't hitting him anymore- .....I guess I should go and apologize so I don't lose my job huh.... I .... why can't I just be a person? But no, I'm used as a pawn. A piece to be moved around at my master's leisure. Ed was right about one thing. Once in the military... you're nothing more then a dog to wine and beg at your master's feet.
Jean: -Sits down next to him. Puts his arm around his shoulder- Don't say that. Look, you've been pushed around but who hasn't? I know I have, multiple times. There are people who take advantage of those with sweet, caring natures, like yourself. It hurts, it really does. But you have to keep going. -Rubs his shoulder- You do have to apologize but so does he. What you did in there, I was nearly shocked. You really are brave; you just keep it hidden sometimes. You're strong. You need to show it more so no one will use you again. I believe that you can do it. And by the way, Roy was right, you do see the person regardless of the status. I guess that's something we both love about you. -Stands up- Come on, I'll take you home. -Hands him umbrella-
Kain: -Lets himself be pulled up and takes the umbrella, holding it high enough for the two of them. They were silent for a long while as they walked back to Fuery's apartment- ... What did he say after I left? Or more like yelled at him and ran out.
Jean: Well, he finally came to his senses. He slumped down, he kinda looked despondent, and kept saying things like "What have I done, it's all my fault." Then he started apologizing to me so I told him, "I'm not the one you need to say 'I'm sorry' to." He promised to apologize tomorrow.
Kain: ... -Nods and leans in closer to Jean, his head against his arm as they drew closer to the apartment- My guess is he gave us the day off....I'm sorry... -He opens the door to his ground floor apartment (2) and lets Jean in as well. He goes to his room and removes his soiled uniform in exchange for a pair of simple jeans and t-shirt while his clothing was cleaned- ..... Ummmm... -Sighs- I'm a mess..... -Moves around tending to his animals then goes back to Jean who was on the couch now, snatches the cig from his mouth and tosses it in the trash.- .... Dogs+Cats+Smoke= Insanity....
Jean: -Realizes his mistake as a look of horror appears on his face- Oh...crap....
-The insanity breaks loose! Jean tries to calm them down but instead gets trampled on, scratched, and tossed around. The whole time he's shouting,- I'm sorry! I forgot! I'm sorry! I forgot!
Kain: -Stands and whistles loudly, such a high pitch it had the animals even the cats lined up sitting all attention on him, completely calmed down- Settle down and move it. -Points to there kennels and like good animals the dogs dispersed to their rightful kennels and the cats left the room- ...... You ok?
Jean: -Slowly gets up, flinching a little with pain. His clothes are a mess: ripped, tattered and wrinkled. He has several scratch marks on his body- Y...yeah. I'm really really really really really really really really really sorry. At the end of a bad day I like to enjoy a cig but I forgot it wasn't at home. -Sighs and smiles awkwardly- I guess I'm just a screw up. You meanwhile, damn, it's like you're a lion tamer! That was cool! -Grins-
Kain: You're not a screw up. -Bushes at the comment as he grabs a small medical kit. Going over to Jean he starts to dab at the cuts and sighs at his uniform. -Sorry about this. I should have reminded you. -Dabs at the small cut on his cheek and puts a small bandage there- Any place else? -Checks him over, a blush still on his cheeks-
Jean: -Feels it would be inappropriate to mention the scratch on his inner thigh- Just one, -Points to lips- Can you kiss it better? 3
Kain: Huh, oh…umm… -Blushes a brighter red as he leans forward and hesitates a moment before giving him a quick peck on the lips- ... Ummmm…
Jean: -Blushes- W...was that too forward? Sorry...
Kain: Umm no, I…um... just don't… -Quickly says it as he ducks his head- dontknowhowtokiss!
Jean: Don't know how to kiss?! –Chuckles- And yet you do it so well. Your little pecks are cute, I like them. (Thinking) I could help you improve, with a little practice. NO! I can't say that out loud! That's too perverted! right?... -Gulps. He wants to say it but he's holding himself back-
Kain: ..... -Looks up at him and smiles before swallowing and leaning forward, his hands on Jeans chest to help support him. He was less than an inch from Jean's lips. He could feel the warm breath on his lips. He swallows the lump in his throat before just taking the plunge and pressing his lips to Jeans. His first instinct was to pull away quickly but the feeling was good so he stayed there and relaxed. He pulls back after a moment and frowns. Jean hadn't responded, did he do something wrong? – I…I'm sorry. I'm not that good. Sorry.
Jean: -In shock after receiving the best kiss of his life- Noooo...you were VERY good....
Kain:....Oh, -Blushes- really? -He smiles lightly and kisses him again before nuzzling against him- What's in the package? -He looks at the box that was on the counter that Jean had with him-
Jean: Oh yeah, that. -Picks it up and opens it. Inside it a stuffed toy dalmatian dog that has red kiss marks instead of black sports. (3) Havoc's cheeks turn pink- I was gonna ask you out for a date on Valentines Day before I knew you had...-Hesitates- other plans....and then I was going to give this to you afterwards. –Smiles- It's kinda late now...
Kain: ... –Blinks, looking at it then takes it. It was so soft. He touches the little heart nose and pets it, a smile coming to his face then hugs it. It smelled of Jean. His eyes turn to Jean and he hugs him tightly- Thank you Jean. I love it. It's so cute! :3 Thank you... I.... I'm sorry, I ... I should have given you a chance... I'm sorry I ruined your plans... Ummm, I... umm I know it's not Valentines Day but.... would you like to have dinner with me some time?
Jean:-Takes his hand and squeezes it a little- You didn't ruin them, don't say that. But dinner with you, -Big smile- That would be great! Actually, -Looks at clock- it is dinner time now...
Kain: -Looks to the clock and jumps- Oh!! You must be hungry! I'm…I'm sorry, I'll get right on it!! -Rushes to the kitchen with his new stuffed animal and puts him on the counter where it was close enough to grab and cuddle if he wanted to as he rushes around to find what to cook for them- I'm sorry, I forgot... I seem to do that a lot... -Sighs and waits for the skillet to warm up as he goes back to the stuffed animal and hugs it-
Jean: -Chuckles- You are just about the cutest thing ever! 3 -Gets up- Do you want some help?
Kain: -Looks up at him and smiles- Ummmm no I think I got it, thank you though. Ummm stir-fry sound good to you? If not I can make something else!!
Jean: No no, that sounds good. I'm sure whatever you make will be delicious.
Kain: -Smiles and leans up on his tip toes to kiss him but even by doing that makes Jean have to lean down to assist him- ... I'm so short. -Pouts in a puppy dog face way and goes to finish dinner. Once it was done he moved quickly to serve them before sending the animals to a different room or to there kennels- ... Bon appetite. - Smiles as he grabs a bottle of wine from the top cupboard- Umm been saving this for something special. Not the best dinner but... -Smiles-
Jean: Short? Have you seen Ed? –Laughs-
Somewhere across town; Ed: I don't know why but I think I'll kick Havoc's butt tomorrow (4)
Jean: -Sits down at the table- Looks good! -Takes bite- Mmm, it is good! ^_^
Kain: -Smiles as he eats his own and takes a sip of his wine. He had to be careful or he could get drunk very very quickly- I'm glad you like it. -Smiles more as they eat. Once done, they went on the couch watching a movie, a scary movie: Saw 4. Kain's eyes were wide as he curls up closer to Jean and yelps when yet another unfortunate person gets sawed-
Jean: -Hugs him tighter with wide, frightened eyes- Holy crap, why are we watching this?!
Kain: ... You said it would be interesting. -Yelps again and clings to him when finally the movie ends- .... Never again, never will I watch a horror movie again... -Nuzzles up against him tight and yawns- ..... Oh its late... do you have to get home?
Jean: What was I thinking?! -Looks at watch- Yeah, I guess I do have to go home, I doubt we'd get two days off in a row. -Looks at Kain, small smile- Good night, see you tomorrow. -Kiss-
Kain: -Smiles and blushes returning the kiss and hugs him- Good night, be careful on your way home ok... And Jean... thank you... night. -Once Jean had left Kain when to his bedroom with his new stuffed puppy, cuddles it tightly to his chest and breathes in deeply the scent that was all Jean before falling asleep, a smile on his face-
Jean: -Sighs happily. It's still raining so he puts up his umbrella. All of a sudden he starts skipping and signing. -I'm siiiiigin' in the rain! Just siiiingi' in the rain! what a glorio..
-Ed appears out of nowhere and kicks him down. Jean lands in a puddle.-
Jean: What the?!
Ed: *points at him* You know why I did that! -Stomps off-
Jean: .........O.....k. -Gets up and walks off. Once at home, changes clothes. He realizes that he smells Fuery's scent on his shirt. He smiles. As he falls asleep he holds the shirt-
