A/n: Happy Halloween. Because I'm too old to go trick or treating and get a bunch of free candy, I'm staying home and watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. :)


It is a familiar beast to man, and signifies love.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "The Merry Wives of Windsor", Act 1 scene 1

#7 Dusk of Wild

Day. A time when daily routine life passes without event.

Night. A time when all that changes.

In the morning, he observes, she's stonic and ready to work, fully awake unlike him.

Afternoon and nothing has changed, the same no nonsense 'get-the-hell-to-work' attitude.

But has the sun begins to set, something within her changes.

She stops giving him glares of annoyance and starts giving him looks of hunger and desire.

The growing darkness of the sky matches her eyes, hooded with lust.

With dusk, comes a wildness in Riza Hawkeye that Roy has never tired of.
