Disclaimer: I don't own 'em, I just torture 'em.

Ed smiled at Riza. His stomach felt very queasy. "Let's go sit over here! There's some very nice flowers, and I'm sure you'll like them!" Ed desperately tried to think of a way to talk to Riza about the 'incident' that had occurred between them. He tried to calm himself, but Ed was terrified. "Here, you take the chair."

"Ed? About this morning. Um, I think we should talk."

Ed flopped down on the grass next to Riza's chair. He watched the tip of her tail twitch back and forth. It was almost hypnotic.

"Ed?" Riza frowned. Ed was staring at her tail. I'm almost afraid of his thoughts. I can do this! I'm a grown woman. I've had sex. I'm an adult. I can do this. Riza poked at Ed's left shoulder. "Hey, Edward?"

Ed jumped, and grabbed at Riza's hand. His hand felt cool to her, even through the glove. I wonder if his automail always stays like this. "Ed, are you a virgin?"

Well, that was one way of starting a conversation.

Ed's mouth opened, but for once, had nothing to say. She asked me if I'm a virgin? I did hear that, didn't I? Riza wants to know if I've had sex. What do I tell her!

Riza was stunned at her own question. Not what I meant to ask, but Ed looks so funny. I guess that means he is. I wonder why. Most girls think he's cute. Or maybe because of Winry? Much to her surprise, Riza didn't particularly like that thought.

"Um…um…" Ed was trying to answer Riza. "Um…"

"You are, aren't you?"

Ed's face had turned a very interesting shade of red. I didn't know a person could blush that hard. Riza giggled.

Ed's eyes narrowed. Is she laughing at me?

He's so cute when he does that. And he doesn't even know it. Riza began to laugh harder.

Ed frowned, he had stopped blushing. She IS laughing at me.

"What's so damned funny?"

Riza lay back in her chair, and tried to explain why she was laughing. "You were blushing, and I've never seen anyone look like that, so, you are, aren't you?"

Ed pulled up a few blades of grass. "Yeah, I am. Are you gonna laugh some more?"

Riza tried not to smile. She failed. "A lot of people are virgins at sixteen, Ed. That's not why I'm laughing."

Ed was not convinced. "So why are you asking me this, anyway? I don't see how it matters. Are you still a virgin, Riza?"

Riza kept smiling. "No, I'm not. I was just wondering if this morning was the first time you'd ever seen a woman's breasts." And there he goes again, blushing that incredible shade of red!

For the second time in just a few minutes, Riza had left Ed speechless. "Um…"

"It was? I know you liked what you saw." Why am I playing with Ed like this? I don't taunt people just to be mean.

Ed nervously scooted away from Riza. "Look, that was an accident. I didn't mean to tear your shirt, and I'm sorry I just lay there and stared. I don't know what else to say…"

"You could tell me if you liked my body." Where the hell did that come from?

There is something very wrong here. This is not Riza! Maybe it's the cat? That doesn't make any sense. Ed jumped to his feet and stepped further away from Riza. She tracked him with her eyes, a small smile played at her lips. How could the cat influence Riza's mind? Why would it want to? It doesn't seem like there is a truly separate personality, but I'm not sure that their minds aren't mixed on some level.

Riza licked her lips, causing Ed to stare at her mouth. "Riza? Are you listening to me?" Ed was almost scared of the way she was leaning forward, and her eyes had not left his face.

Riza leapt from the chair and tackled Ed. She placed her hands on his shoulders and pressed him back against the grass. "Mmmmm, Ed, you smell so good." She straddled his waist and began to nuzzle at his neck. A loud purr came from her throat.

What the fuck is she doing? Wait, Riza, don't do that! Riza's left hand had traveled down to grab the bottom of his shirt, and was now sliding across his stomach. Riza!

"Riza, stop! Why are you, oh god don't touch me there!" Riza licked along the side of Ed's neck, and then gently bit his right earlobe. She laughed softly, and rubbed her lips against the shell of Ed's ear. Her left hand began to stroke his stomach, moving closer to Ed's belt that he was currently comfortable with.

"Riza. Talk to me. Why are you kissing my neck?" Ed was trying to stay calm. He was also trying not to notice that Riza's hand was now gripping the front of his pants.

"You smell so good, I noticed this morning. But now, it's so much more." Riza made a sound that was half purr and half growl. "I don't understand this, but I like it."

Ed twitched. Riza's hand was trying to undo his belt. She nipped lightly along his jaw, and before Ed could say anything else, Riza kissed him.

Whoa… Ed couldn't have named his brother at that moment, all he could think about was the fact that Riza Hawkeye was kissing him. And she was a damn good kisser. Not that Ed could do much comparison.

Her lips were soft and smooth, and her tongue darted out to touch his lips. "Open your mouth, Ed," Riza breathed the words against Ed's lips. She kissed him again, and this time he did open his mouth to her. Her tongue slipped inside and began to lightly rub against his. Ed moaned, and reached up to press Riza closer to him. He tangled his hand in her long hair, and kissed her back.

"Ed? Riza?" The back door banged against the side of the house as Al leaned out to call the two. "Your supper is ready. Hurry up before it gets cold." Al turned and the door shut behind him.

Riza jerked away from Ed. Now she was the one blushing. "Ed? Oh, my god. What was I doing?"

Ed lay on the ground, his head spinning. "Mmm, Riza. Uh, why are you looking at me like that. You kissed me…"

Riza shoved her foot against Ed's side. "Get up, Edward. Right now."

Ed twitched at the tone of Riza voice. It was her 'do-as-I-say-or-I'll-shoot-you' tone. He rolled over and carefully climbed to his feet, wincing as he caught sight of Riza's face. Why am I the one in trouble? She attacked me! And then she kissed me! And damn, was that good… Ed was pulled from his thoughts by Riza slapping him across the chest. "Hey!"

"Ed! What is that smell all over you!" Riza was very afraid. She thought she knew what Ed had gotten all over him. "Have you been around catnip?"

Ed blinked. "I dunno, maybe. What's it look like?" Is that why she jumped me? But catnip doesn't do that, it makes cats happy, not horny…

Riza glared. "Go get a bath."

"Okay, sorry. And Riza," Ed glanced back at her as he walked to the back porch. "That was an incredible kiss."

Riza groaned and hid her eyes, she could feel the heat of her blush on her cheeks. What is going on? That catnip smelled wonderful, but that wasn't what made me touch Ed like that. Why does it make me crazy to be around him for any length of time? It's like I can't think for myself, and all I know is his scent. The way the light shines on his hair. And those unbelievable eyes. Riza began to walk towards the house. I have to get this under control.

"Me-oww! Meowwrrr!"

Riza turned to see a large black and white cat sitting on top of a sundial. It stared at her, then jumped down and walked over to butt its head against her leg. She slowly knelt down and reached her hand to it.

"Hello there." The cat stared up at her with what seemed to be a very confused look in its green eyes. Abruptly, the cat jumped into her lap and began to nuzzle against her lower stomach. Actually, it was trying to get lower than her stomach…

"What the hell? Get off of me!" Riza shoved at the cat, and jumped up. The cat gave a strange growl, and tried to jump up onto her leg. Riza grabbed at it and noticed something.

"You're a tomcat?"

A trickle of fear slipped down Riza's spine, and her tail lashed angrily. Grabbing the struggling cat by the back of its neck, she walked to lowest section of garden wall and gently tossed it over. Then she once again headed back to the house, this time trying to keep the fear at bay.

It's not possible. Even with the transmutation. Even though I seem to be attracted to Ed. I mean, this is not happening! I'm still human! I can't be going into heat!


Author's notes: Okay, who saw this coming? I had to throw catnip in there somewhere, and Ed gave me a good way, with his wandering around in the garden. Al didn't see them, there was a plant in the way. So, will Riza tell Ed what seems to have caused her to jump him? I should go figure that out…
