Now that my little bit is over on to the reviewers. For some reason, this was what popped into my head about what you all were thinking when I didn't post yet. Now my reviewers. TiNyLoVeBuBBLeS, there will be plenty more hilarious moments. The last chapter was me making it up to Roy for the torture I put him in earlier. And my head was completely filled with fluff that week. I needed to empty it. But do not fret, it's going to get plenty funny. fullmetal philosopher, the thing about the lieutenant general being Riza's grandfather came from the manga Perfect Guide 2. Also it still crackes me up about what you said about you and your Roy plushie. Now on to the real show, enjoy!
Eating ice cream before going to bed was definitely a bad thing to do because it was one in the morning and they were still wide-awake. Havoc, Falman, and Fuery laid on the ground staring at the ceiling. The sugar in their system was keeping them awake. Roy and Riza were quietly sleeping in the bed next to them. They were lucky that they didn't eat as much ice cream as Havoc and the others did. Getting tired of watching the ceiling the three them rolled onto their stomach and began talking. They kept it quiet enough so as not to wake up Roy and Riza.
"Fuery, why did you get the ice cream for us to eat?" Havoc asked in a hushed tone. "Wasn't there anything else in there to eat?"
"Yes, but the ice cream was the only thing that we could all share," Fuery answered in an equally hushed tone.
"What are we suppose to do for the rest of the night?" Falman asked as quiet as he could. "None of us can fall asleep, yet. We need something to entertain us until we do."
"We play poker," Havoc answered as he pulled out a deck of cards from his pillow. "After a few hands we should be tired enough to go to sleep."
"Good idea," Falman said. "But what about the poker chips? You wouldn't happen to have those in your pillow as well?"
"No, the only other thing I have is my toothbrush."
"Same here. What about you, Fuery?"
"Just the toothbrush. Can't we just play for fun?"
"I guess so," Havoc said.
So they prepared for their poker game. Fuery scooted down a bit so they could have some more room to play. Havoc and Falman moved their bodies so that they were at a slight angle. This way they couldn't look at each other's cards. Havoc acted as the dealer. They went through a couple of hands. Falman won most of them so far. Fuery won the rest. Havoc was having as much luck with playing cards as he did with women. They still weren't sleepy yet and continue on with the games. They were only brought out of it when they heard either Riza or Roy move. Fuery lifted his head high enough to find the two still sleeping. He motioned that it was all clear and they continued. The next time they were interrupted it was by Riza's voice.
"No…stop that…that tickles," she said in a quiet voice. Havoc, Falman, and Fuery's eyes nearly dropped out of their sockets. 'Are they actually doing what I think they are doing? And with us here no less.' they all thought. Fuery buried his head behind the cards in his hand trying to hide the blush on his face. Falman was clutching his cards tightly in his hands focusing as best he could on the game, and Havoc was wiping away his nosebleed. None of them knew what they were supposed to do in this type of situation. "Quit it…don't do that…HANDS, ROY!" That was followed by a loud smacking noise accompanied by some whimpering. Havoc and the others kept their heads down for the next couple of minutes so as now to be caught in the crossfire. The next thing they knew Hayate was dropped in between all of them. The three looked up to find Roy was sitting up, rubbing his hand. There was also a rather red handprint on one of his cheeks. Riza was leaning across him since she had just put Hayate down. "You don't mind if Buraha sleep with you three? He keeps licking me."
Apparently Hayate was wide-awake like the men and wanted to play with his mommy. Riza and Roy were both sleeping on their sides so it gave him the perfect access to her face. He started licking her but she wasn't in the mood. She just wanted to sleep so she gave the little pup a gentle nudge with her hand. Hayate didn't give up. He crawled under the quilt and started licking her legs all the way to her feet. Riza gave him another gentle push but with her foot this time. The pup still wouldn't give up. He made his way back up to her body and crawled into her nightgown. Once there he started licking her bellybutton. His fur started rubbing against her skin, and she was trying to keep from laughing. Roy, who really wanted to just sleep, decided to put an end to Hayate's antics. He slid his hand under Riza's gown to pull to pup out and put him where he couldn't bug them. Riza tried to stop him. But just as he moved his hand to grab Hayate, the pup avoided his grasp and Roy ended up grabbed something else. Riza immediately turned over and slapped him in the face. Hayate, sensing that his mommy was in trouble, latched onto Roy's hand. Roy quickly drew his hand out from under her gown with Hayate still attached. After a minute of biting, Riza finally pulled Hayate off his hand. After giving Roy a glare that would freeze hell twice over, she turned to put Hayate on the ground only to find the others awake and playing poker. There was going to be some explaining done by all of them later. She put Hayate down to get their attention.
"Sure," Fuery said taking Hayate in his arms after he placed his cards down. Hayate started licking the man's face. Havoc, Falman, and Fuery decided not to ask about what had transpired between Roy and Riza, at this point in time, but they had some idea. They rather not get shot at in the middle of the night. "I don't mind."
"Fine by me," Havoc and Falman said at the same time.
"Good," Riza said going back to her side of the bed. She made sure to give Roy another glare before lying down. "It's almost two. You all should go to sleep. We have work tomorrow. Goodnight."
With that she turned on her side intent on getting some sleep. Roy said goodnight to them as well before laying back down. The three decided it was getting late and that they should sleep as well. Most of the sugar was already used up, and they were getting tired. Havoc packed up his cards and placed them back into his pillow. They all rolled back onto their backs and pulled up their blankets before going to sleep. Hayate decided to curl between Furey and Falman. Within minutes they were asleep.
"Sorry," Roy whispered into Riza's ear when he was certain that the others had gone to sleep. "I didn't mean to do that. You believe me, right?"
"I know," she replied as she turned over to look Roy in the eyes. Her finger gently traced the red mark that was on his face. He slightly winced at the pressure it applied to him. "Sorry I hit you so hard."
"It's alright. I deserved it." Roy took the hand that was caressing his cheek and kissed its palm. She could feel him smile against it. "All is forgiven?"
"Yes," Riza said taking her hand from his and resting it on his neck. There she began to gently rub it. She got on one of her elbows and looked over Roy at the men below them. Once certain that they were truly asleep, she smiled down at Roy. He knew what was she going to do but he decided to beat her to the punch. Within seconds, Riza was beneath him. Lips pressed against his. 'I can get use to this,' Roy thought as he slid his tongue into her mouth. Their tongues fought for awhile before giving up for the need of air. She gently pushed him off herself so that he was lying next to her like before. "Goodnight, Roy."
"Night, Riza," Roy said as he pulled her body closer to his. They ended up chest to chest with each other. Roy had enveloped his arms around her waist to hold her in place against him. Riza rested her hand on his chest since it was one of the few places she could put them in this position. She gave him a quick kiss before snuggling closer to him and falling asleep. Roy stayed awake for a few more minutes. He was getting use to the idea of having Riza in his arms. 'So warm. Maybe Maes wasn't wrong about marriage. Hey, get that out of your mind! What are doing here? He told you to leave him alone. But he is making the wrong choice. He's a bachelor, not a married man, through and through. Hey, would you two quit arguing and let me enjoy this.' Roy went back to enjoying the feeling that Riza sent tingling through his body as he held her, while his mind and heart fought with each other. He already knew whose side he was going to take. The calm and peaceful look on her face had finalized his decision. He gazed at it for a long time before succumbing to sleep.
Roy, strangely enough, was the first one to wake up. He spent his time watching his Riza. His hand tucked strands of her hair behind her ear so that he could better see her face before he ran the back of it across her cheek. She stirred a bit but didn't wake much to Roy's enjoyment. He wanted some more time to just look at her. At the moment all he wanted to do was hold her and keep the smile that very much resembled Maes whenever he talked about his wife or daughter on his face. 'I'll have thank Maes one day for this. If he hadn't been so persistent, I wouldn't be here right now. Although it would be better if Havoc and the others weren't here but that couldn't be helped.' Roy would brought out of his thoughts when Riza moved closer to him and had somehow slipped one of her legs between his. In the process, one of her gown's straps dropped down to her arm. Roy took this opportunity to kiss the newly exposed skin before bringing the strap back to her shoulder. After his fingers had put the strap back in place, his fingers trailed down her arm until it rested at the small of her back. His touch had sent a shiver through her and unknowingly she cuddled closer to him. Her head nuzzled against him. More recognized by Roy from her attempt to get closer was the fact that her leg had inadvertently rubbed against him. He had to bite his lip to keep from moaning and waking her up.
It was about a half hour later when Riza woke up to jet black eyes and a smile. She couldn't help but smile back at him. Her arms slid up from his chest to circle around his neck. Without bothering to look over Roy and make sure that the others were still asleep, she kissed him. Roy returned the kiss with equal passion. The others were far from their minds. That and they knew that the three were still sleeping. The snoring was a bit tip off.
"Morning, Roy," she asked him when they broke from the kiss. "Have a good sleep?"
"Definitely, we should do this more often," he said before pulling her into another kiss.
When they broke apart, Roy moved to lay on his back and pulled Riza along so that half of her was on his chest. He laid there running his fingers through her hair. She laid with her eyes closed as she listened to his heartbeat while one of her hands was spayed across his chest. After awhile, Roy had moved his hand from Riza's hair to run up and down her spine. He had kept his eyes on her the entire time, watching her reactions to his touch which were her arm moving to wrap around his waist and her head nestling against his neck. Listening to her slow, calm breathing Roy felt himself falling back to sleep. It didn't last long because he had heard Riza trying to stifle a laugh. He looked down at her. When she felt Roy's eyes on her, she looked up at him. With a smile she motioned for him to look at the others to answer his confused look. He nearly busted out laughing at the sight he saw.
Falman was sleeping in the same position he was last night. He looked like a stiff board the way he was laying. His arms were at his side as he laid on his back. It looked like he was standing at attention in his sleep. Hayate was curled into a ball on his stomach...wearing Fuery's glasses. That wasn't what made Roy and Riza want to laugh. About a foot from Falman was Havoc and Fuery cuddling together. They were both on their sides facing each other. Havoc had his arms tightly circled around the younger man's body. Fuery's arms were around Havoc's shoulders. Their legs were slightly intertwined. There was barely any space between the two. The puppy boxers that Fuery wore and the ducky boxers that Havoc wore weren't helping Roy and Riza contain their laughter. Then the unthinkable happened. Havoc moved his hand down and grabbed Fuery's butt. Thinking that she would be able to hold it in any longer, Riza got up and crawled over Roy. She didn't even get to place one foot on the ground before Roy grabbed her waist and stilled her action. She ended up straddling him.
"And where do you think you're going?" Roy asked thoroughly enjoying the position he had her in.
"I'm going to go take a shower," she said as leaned down to give him a quick kiss. After she broke the kiss, she sat back up placing her hands on his stomach. She moved around a bit to get comfortable because she knew Roy wasn't going to let her go too soon. It had aroused him since she had ended up sitting on a certain area. She smirked a bit knowing well what she was doing to him. Deciding to have a bit more fun, she move one of her hands to the waistband of his boxers. She gave it a quick snap before running her index finger downward until it nearly touched her. The entire time Roy was watching her actions. Before the finger could reach her, it had grazed down him. Not being able to take it anymore, he flipped over onto his stomach and buried his face into the pillow. 'Argh, damn it. I almost didn't make it. God, she's good at teasing me. It going to be hell waiting until we finally…' he was brought out of his thoughts when he felt that finger trail down his spine. It sent a chill throughout his entire body. Then he felt her hands, her gun-skilled hands, massage his back. He was in paradise…and hell since he couldn't have her, yet. Content with what she had done to Roy, she gave him a kiss on the back of his neck before getting off him. She made way to her bathroom, grabbing her uniform along the way, and stopped in the doorway to give him a message before entering it. "And don't even think of following me. I have guns all over the place."
"I wouldn't think of it now," he said removing his face from the pillow. When she had gone into the bathroom, he dropped his head back onto the pillow. His face was totally flushed at what had just transpired between the two them. He was glad that no one could see him right now. The great womanizer was head over hills in love with a woman that had complete control over him. No other woman, besides his mother and sisters, had any control over him. Riza was the one and only. It took him a minute to finally calm his face down. By then he had laid his head on its side so that it was looking to the bathroom. He heard the shower being turned on and out in the corner of his eyes he saw two little ears perk up. Looking down, he saw Hayate looking back him with Fuery's glasses still on him. Hayate turned away from Roy and jumped of Falman's stomach. He ran towards the bathroom door. Roy watched the pup curiously as it ran to the bathroom. He gave a slight flinch when Hayate ran into the door. Someone needs to get those glasses off him. The door slowly opened and Hayate entered. Before it closed, Roy caught a glimpse of Riza wearing nothing but a towel. 'Lucky mutt.' Roy rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling as he waited for Riza to finish or for one of the men to wake up.
Roy must have fallen asleep because the next thing he remembered was a warm tongue running across his lips. He opened his mouth to invite it in but it stayed on his lips. His hand moved to grab the back of Riza's neck so that he could bring her close to him only to find something else. 'What is this? This doesn't feel like Riza's hair. And what is this thing around her neck?' As his continued to grab at whatever was on top of him, he heard a laugh from nearby. He knew something was up. How could Riza be kissing him and laughing at the same time? His eyes quickly shot open to find two dark eyes staring back at him.
"Hayate!" he screamed as he sat up. Hayate fell backwards into a towel Riza had held out to catch the wet pup from her position at Roy's hips. Roy started furiously rubbing his mouth, trying to get the taste of dog out of it. His sudden scream had woken the rest up. Falman was standing within seconds, looking around at what was going on. Fuery and Havoc were in each other's arms for a few seconds before realizing whom they holding onto. After a quick scream, they released each other and tried to straighten themselves.
"Umm…morning," Riza said as she dried Hayate. She was in her uniform as opposed to her nightclothes like everyone else. By the time she had finished drying Hayate, everyone was calm again and sitting on the floor; Roy was still sitting in the bed muttering obscenities about Hayate. That was quickly stopped by Riza's glare. Hayate had jumped from Riza's lap into Fuery's arms upon completion of the drying after his shower with her. Riza handed Fuery his glasses, which he promptly put on. "Did you all have a nice sleep?"
"It was fine," Falman answered. "Thank you for letting us stay here."
"It would have been better if I woke up to a woman in my arms instead of Fuery," Havoc cried out. Falman and Roy laughed at that since it was a funny sight. Fuery sat a distance away from Havoc near Falman. He was scratching Hayate's neck, trying not to think of what had happened. In truth, he would have been happier to wake up with Hayate in his arms.
"I did," Roy rubbed in Havoc's face. That earned him a "tap" on the face, which coincidently landed in that exact same place he was slapped last night. Little tears began to form at his eyes as he tenderly touched his cheek. It still hurt from last night. Havoc smirked at his superior. "That hurt and I was only telling the truth. You were asleep in my arms when I woke up."
"With the way you put it, it sounded like bragging to me and you know how I hate it especially when I'm involved." Roy looked the other way because he knew that was what he was doing. He was just lucky that he only received a slap instead of a bullet. It's a whole lot easier to brag about anything whenever she wasn't around to reprimand him. His eyes moved over to Havoc. He found him with a smirk on his face. That was quickly wiped away when Roy held up his hand and made a snapping motion where Riza couldn't see it. Falman and Fuery decided to stay out of it. They valued their lives too much. Riza got up from her position and walked to the door. Hayate ran after her but stopped when she told him to. He, at the moment, didn't want to stay with the men but he did make his way back to Fuery's welcoming arms. "Fuery, get him some ice for his cheek. I'll go get some spare uniforms for everyone."
"Is mine still in your closet?" Fuery asked moving to her closet to get the ice.
"Yes," she replied before leaving. "Mustang's is in there, too."
"Why does she have yours and the colonel's spare uniform in her closet, Fuery?" Falman asked when Fuery pulled out two uniforms and some boots. Fuery walked over the bed and laid them down after handing Roy some ice. Roy gently pressed them against his cheek, flinching from the cold and slight pain. "I find that odd."
"She keeps one of mine in case Hayate accidentally gets it dirty whenever I watch him. As for the colonel's, I don't know."
"It's because he has a tendency to throw his clothes into her suitcase whenever they end up sharing a room on a mission," Havoc said, clearing up that part of Falman's question. "I usually put them back after she gets them cleaned. She must have had it cleaned recently because she hasn't asked me to put them back yet."
"Oh," all that Falman and Fuery could say.
Fuery began to get dress, but Roy decided to stay in his boxers for awhile longer. He was having too much fun sitting in Riza's bed in nothing but a pair of boxers and a t-shirt. Riza still hadn't come back by the time Fuery finished dressing so he sat back down with the others and played with Hayate.
"Fuery, is there anymore ice cream in the mini-fridge?" Havoc asked as his stomach started to grumble. "I need some food in me."
"There's still one container but it's Hayate's," Fuery answered.
"The mutt has his own ice cream," Roy said. Fuery nodded his head as he started playing tug-o-war with Hayate. "I'm sure he won't mind if we eat some of it to fully wake us up."
"Yeah, it's not bad," Havoc said as he shoved a spoonful into his mouth. Somehow between the conversation Roy and Fuery were having, he had gone into the closet and grabbed the container along with some spoons. He handed the spoons to everyone but Fuery refused. "It's actually chicken flavored. Good choice for Hayate."
"You shouldn't be eating that," Fuery protested.
"It's alright," Roy said trying to calm him. "Hayate doesn't seem to mind. Right, boy?"
The puppy let out a happy bark. It wasn't to answer Roy's question rather it was because Fuery started scratching his belly. "Don't worry so much."
"We're only going to eat a little," Falman added before taking a spoonful himself.
"Don't say I didn't warn you?" Fuery said before going back to playing with Hayate.
"So, Chief, want to explain what happened last night?" Havoc asked shoving more ice cream in his mouth. Roy swallowed the ice cream quickly at the question only to receive brain freeze. "About the slap."
"Oh, that," Roy started while trying to act casually. Deep down, he was jumping and shouting in joy and fear. "Nothing really. I just accidentally grabbed something I wasn't suppose to."
"And how can you accidentally grab her chest?" Havoc questioned him.
"Because of Hayate. He crawled under her gown and I stuck my hand there to get him out. Instead of grabbing him, I grabbed her. That is all."
"I find it strange that you aren't bragging about grabbing the infamous Hawkeye's breast. Many men have gone down just looking at her the wrong way. Yet, you're still kicking."
"It's probably because he's her superior," Falman commented. "That's why he's still alive."
"And because she's already threaten me with physical harm and a room full of paperwork."
"Umm…Sir?" Fuery timidly asked. After Roy acknowledged him, he continued. "Is there something going on between the two of you? You seem a lot closer than before."
"Yeah, Chief, you got a thing for her? You never did tell us who this mystery woman that you had your eye on was."
"I don't know what you're talking about. Hawkeye is just a friend and a fellow co-worker."
"Then why are you so red?" Havoc said pointing to Roy's cheeks. Unbeknownst to him, his face had gotten bright red when the conversation had taken a turn to his relationship with Riza. The ice wasn't helping him either. Roy tried to change the conversation but Havoc continued to push it. "You do like her. Are you in love with her?"
"Yes," Roy finally admitted to them. It took all his will power not to snap his fingers and kill the man on the spot. Riza probably wouldn't have liked to have a black spot on her floor or a ruined quilt. Also it would have just given him more paperwork to sign and he was already going have a room full of it. "I do love her."
"How far have you gotten with her?" Havoc persisted. "Pretty far considering you've shared a bed with her for the pass few days."
"Havoc…" Roy warned him. "We've done nothing but kiss. I've only admitted it to her last night before you all had to interrupt my make-out session with her. She made it perfectly clear that was as far as we going last night, kissing and nothing else."
"That must have burst your bubble."
"Not really. I don't mind waiting. She can take all the time she wants. I'll wait until she is ready."
"You must really love her if your willing to wait for her," Fuery said with much enthusiasm as Havoc nearly fainted at Roy's response. He wasn't use to a womanizer like Roy being so patient with a woman. The woman may have been Riza but it was still a shocker. He usually got his way especially when it involved a night with him. So Havoc was sort of having an out of body experience while everyone continued on. Roy had nodded with plenty of vigor at Fuery's statement to confirm that he really did love her. "That's great."
"Wait until Hughes finds out about this," Havoc said after finally coming back to reality. "He's going to have a field day with it."
"He's not going to find out about. Do I make myself clear?" Roy eyed each one of them and held one of his bare hands up in a snapping position to indicate what would happen if they did. Everyone quietly nodded their heads indicating that they understood. Although they did wonder where his gloves were at this point in time. "I'm glad you see it my way."
"Umm…Sir?" Fuery shyly asked. "Does she love you, too?"
"Yes, she does. Oh, and if she finds out that you told anyone about this you probably can guess what's going to happen to you. I'm probably going to get yelled at for admitting how we feel about each other. I should hide her guns but she has so many."
"She has thirty-one hidden throughout her room." Fuery pointed out. "There's usually two on her at all times. In addition, there are four hidden in her desk and two in mine. She also has daggers hidden in her boots if she should ever run out of bullets."
"What kind of woman have I gotten myself involved with?" Roy said as he and the others nearly fainted at the amount of weapon Riza kept. They were definitely going to keep her relationship with Roy a secret now. "Remind me never to get on her bad side."
"Same here," everyone else piped in.
"So Mustang, I've been wondering something," Havoc began with a perverted look on his face. "What size is she?"
A bullet shot through the room, flying dangerously close to Havoc's head. It had missed him by barely a millimeter. They all turned their heads to look at the smoking wall behind Havoc. Then they turned them to the origin of the bullet. Riza stood at the door with two uniforms and some boots in one arm and a gun pointed at Havoc. She had heard the question and was definitely not pleased with it. She closed the door behind her, locking it, and made her way further into the room.
"What was that, Havoc?" she said lowering her gun down to a better target.
"Nothing, ma'am."
"Really it sounded like something." She fired her gun. Luckily for Havoc, he was sitting Indian-style. The bullet hadn't hit him anywhere but it was extremely close to a cherished part of his body. "Let's try this again, Havoc."
"The colonel told us about your relationship with each other," he shouted out as he sought shelter behind Fuery and Falman.
"What was that, Colonel?" she asked turning her gun onto Roy.
"They figured it out," Roy said holding up his hands defensively. "Please don't shoot me. I'm your boyfriend."
"I never said you were my boyfriend." A little dark cloud formed over Roy's head and he curled up into a ball. Everyone noticed this and looked at him strangely. Riza had actually lowered her gun. Roy wasn't usually in this type of mood. He had gone from trying to save his life, though it was never really in danger, to gloomy. Riza just sighed and rubbed at the throbbing headache she had when she figured out what was wrong. "Fine, you can be my boyfriend, my secret boyfriend." That cheered him up. He jumped up ready to kiss her but stopped when she pointed a gun at his forehead. Then she moved her aim to Havoc. "Havoc, you leak out a word about this then be ready to dig your own grave."
"What about Fuery and Falman? They know as much as I do."
"I trust them." Riza holstered her gun and laid the two uniforms down on the bed with Roy's. She gave Roy a quick kiss on the non-bruised cheek before sitting down. After awhile the air in the room didn't seem as thick with death and everyone was once again calm. Roy sat down next to Riza, and Havoc came out from behind Fuery and Falman. Hayate was held in Fuery's arms. Havoc brought out the ice cream, and they started to eat it again. Riza hadn't noticed this because she had turned around to click the safeties on the two guns she had hidden under her pillow but Hayate did. 'Hey, that's my ice cream that they're eating. Mommy got that especially for me. The least you guy could do is share it with me.' Hayate's whimpering brought Riza's attention back to her front. She turned around to see Havoc, Falman, and Roy eating ice cream and on that container was the name Hayate. She looked at Fuery with a raised eyebrow. He waved his hand signaling that he had tried to tell them but they wouldn't listen. Hayate continued to whimper as they continued to eat his ice cream. "Why are you eating Hayate's ice cream? I had that specially made for him."
"Don't worry, Riza," Roy said to her. "We just needed a morning boast. Hayate didn't seem to mind."
"He does now. Didn't Fuery tell you not to eat it? He knows that you shouldn't eat it."
"Yeah, but we ignored him," Havoc said after swallowing a spoonful. "It's great that you made it chicken-flavored for Hayate."
"Specially made ice cream. You spoil that dog too much, Riza."
"Not really, sweets isn't that good for him so I let him eat it only once every two weeks, but that's not the point. I had that specially made for him."
"Yeah, we know. You made it chicken-flavored."
"Well, yes and there's chunks of chicken in it but more important I put dog food in it for nutritional values."
"DOG FOOD!" the three of them yelled.
They all started spitting out what they could and started clawing at their tongues. Havoc and Falman grabbed their toothbrushes and ran for the bathroom. Roy followed immediately after them. Fuery and Riza sat there trying so hard not to laugh at their misfortunes. When the door closed behind Roy, they couldn't hold it any longer and started laughing. Hayate was fed a little bit of the ice cream that was his.
"Riza, I'm borrowing your toothbrush," Roy shouted through the door.
"Alright, just don't use the green one. That's Hayate's toothbrush."
"Argh. Damn it."
"I better go brush my teeth as well," Fuery said trying to stop laughing as he handed Hayate to Riza. He stuck his hand in his pillow and pulled out a toothbrush of his own. He also picked up the spoons that the others were using. He might as well clean these while he was in there. He made his way into the bathroom. "You should have listened to me."
While they were brushing their teeth, Riza set about cleaning her room. She put Hayate's ice cream back in the fridge while having to listen to him whimper about it. Then she folded up her quilt and their blankets and place them, along with the pillows, in her closet. Next she went to make her bed. The uniforms were draped over her chair while she straightened up the quilt there. After the second attempt, Hayate had messed up the bed on her first attempt, her bed was squared away. By the time she had finish, everyone was coming out of the bathroom.
"I hope you don't mind us leaving our toothbrushes in there," Havoc said stretching. "I think we're going to have to stay another night."
"I figured. It's fine. I already put your pillows and blankets in the closet. As well as thrown out your magazine, Havoc."
"What?"
"You should have know better than to bring that in my room, but I did leave your poker cards alone."
"But-"
"Give it a rest. I have enough perverted things to deal with. I don't need you adding to it."
"I'm not that perverted," Roy interjected.
"Clothes aren't the only things you accidentally throw in my suitcase."
"I always did wonder where those magazines went," Roy said out loud but had meant it as a thought. The others stared at his sudden admission. Roy finally caught theirs and especially Riza's gaze at him. He did what he thought was best in preserving his life. He sought shelter behind Havoc. "Umm…I won't look at them anymore, Riza."
"If you know what's good for you. Now get dressed, we have work in forty-five minutes."
Riza handed them their uniforms. Roy had managed to sneak a kiss in before she shoved his uniform in his hands. The three of them quietly got dressed as Furey and Riza sat on the edge of her bed with Hayate running around behind them. There was silence in the room until Riza finally broke it.
"You know we're going to have to change the plan again," Riza stated as they finished dressing. "Maes is going to know that Roy slept in my room."
"Your right," Roy agreed. The others shook their heads in agreement. "I'm never going to hear the end of it."
"I guess we're just going to have to use this to our advantage as well," Falman commented. "He doesn't know that we slept here, too."
"So, what's the plan?" Havoc asked.
Well, another chapter down. Next chapter, the office scene. Here a hint: you're going to feel extremely sorry for one of the male characters. I'll try to update by Saturday, if not then maybe on Monday. Review and see ya!
