For some odd reason, I can't imagine Roy and Riza to bluntly say "I love you." Hey, I'm bored and you'll have something cute.You notice how I change the boldness/italics/underlining sometimes. I always found it funny that I did, because my dumb self is so forgetful XD

WinglessFairy: Well, I wanted this one to be more serious. Since I'm very over dramatic, it seems to help in cases.

Lola: -sniffs- Never knew my writing was so impacting. Now for I can try harder

Jacksparrow: I needed a blatant royai chapter. What better way than to use that? It was a bit hard for me to describe it, so I winged it. As big of vocabulary as I have, I never know the right words. My friends regard me at the nerd. looks at undone homework I'll pass...hopefully


Summary: Poets often use many words to say a simple thing

Chapter Eight:
In other words...


Riza sighed softly as she helped her commander finish his paperwork. Most people would've left him to finish his own work, but she rarely trusts him alone. Quite honestly, she did enjoy the time alone she did have with him.

He paused for a moment as he stretched out his fingers yawning softly. It was one of the rare times he deliberately procrastinates.

"If we're going to finish before dawn, you should get back to work."

"Slavedriver." He muttered under his breath

"Someone has to push you to the top." She said raising a brow, wondering what was going on in his head. She has better luck teaching Hayate how to write then to figure him out.

"Je t'aime, Je t'aime Riza."

"Te quiero."

She smiles softly at the small exchange. More of their hidden word games, how far it will be until they were discovered.

"But that doesn't mean I won't shoot at you if you don't finish your work."

He scoffs playfully "You know, most women would love to be in this situation with me."

"As you said, most."
