Ferris Wheel Kiss
Bang, bang, bang. A perfect bull's-eye every time. Riza lowered her BB gun. Even though all of the men were staring at her in shock, not a trace of emotion showed through her foul-proof mask.
She stepped away from the target range, back to where the Colonel was waiting. "I take back what I said before," she said, a slight smile bestowing her face. "This fair isn't a total waste of time."
He smirked. "See? Told you it would be fun," he said as he took hold of her elbow, pulling her through the crowd.
"What next Colonel?"
"Riza, I've told you, it's Roy when we're not in the office."
"Sorry. What next Roy?" He smiled at her obvious sarcasm, then turned to look around them. Immediately, he spotted it.
"How about that," he asked, pointing.
"The Farris Wheel?"
"Why not?" She shrugged, and allowed him to pull her through the crowd to the back of the line. It wasn't long until they had been seated, and their car was moving up to the top.
"You can see everything from up here," Riza said, looking out across Central.
God she was beautiful. The last rays of sunlight were hitting her hair perfectly, making it seem like sunshine itself. Roy had to keep himself from reaching over and stroking it. He was acutely aware of her warm leg pressed up against his.
As casually as he could, he put his arm across the back of the car, only inches away from her shoulders. Thankfully, she was too busy looking at the scenery to notice.
She turned back to him, a rare, but genuine smile on her face. He loved seeing that smile. Riza's smile remained, but dimmed to a small grin as she looked at his face. Now her hair didn't look like sunlight; it looked like gold. He couldn't stand it any longer. He took a piece of the gold in his hand and smoothed it back from her even more beautiful face.
"Colonel?" She whispered. He noticed now that he had slowly been leaning in towards her. He looked up into her sapphire eyes, and smiled a small but gentle smile. He leaned in closer still, but she didn't try to stop him. So he closed his eyes and pressed his lips to hers, just as the Ferris Wheel stopped at its peak.
"Is that…no way! Breda, are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
"What Havoc?"
"Up there, at the top of the Ferris Wheel!" Breda squinted to where Havoc's finger was pointing, and then his eyes widened in shock when he realized what he was seeing.
"No way," he whispered. He was so shocked that he actually dropped his last hot dog.
"What are you two staring at?" Furey asked, coming up behind them.
"Furey, please tell us that you see it too. We're not hallucinating, right?" Havoc again motioned to the top of the Ferris Wheel.
"Havoc, you know my eyesight's bad; what is it?"
"Colonel Mustang…and…Lieutenant Hawkeye…kissing," Breda choked out. Furey wiped around and stared too. It wasn't until the Colonel and Lieutenant had gotten off of the ride, holding hands, that the three men scrambled off to tell the rest of their subordinates.
