Story Ten:
The Night just got Warmer
All the other guys cast him dark looks. Well, all the ones that weren't directly in his care. Roy smirked, knowing that the group of soldiers were talking about him. Him, and a certain sniper.
He sat down next to her at the campfire. She smiled at him and handed him half of her loaf of bread. They never asked each other about their day. It was an unspoken rule.
"Is this all?" Roy asked, doubting the bread was going to fill his empty stomach.
"The supply truck was taken out today. We have to ration what's left." Riza explained quietly. Somehow he just knew that she must have been assigned to help see it to safety.
No one else joined them at their fire. Though there were many spots around it's perimeter, this fire only had room for two. Roy took a bite of his bread. His hands shook from the exhaustion of the days work. Riza's hands were steady as always. They never shook, not anymore.
He could do that much for her and that thought comforted him.
They put out their fire and headed over to the 'bags', the name the soldiers had given the sleeping area. Some of the guys grumbled at the sight of them walking together, knowing that they weren't as lucky as him.
"Goodnight Major." Riza mumbled the formality that only mattered to those eavesdropping.
"'Night Corporal." Roy spoke just loud enough for others to hear as they slipped into the same sleeping bag.
At least he could do this one thing for her, to keep her warm at night.
And all the guys were jealous.
