Author's note: I do not own FMA or its characters. This is AU, and I've changed the timeline somewhat.
A Little R and R
His hands on her neck and shoulders felt wonderful, and Riza leaned into his touch. The colonel had been right as much as she hated to admit it; she had needed this. She hadn't realized how tired and stressed she'd been. She'd been more than a little skeptical about the idea when the colonel had showed up on her doorstep to inform her she was taking the next three days off.
At that time, he'd failed to inform her that he was also taking the next three days off so he could pamper her. He'd arranged for a sleepover for the boys over at the Hughes' and even managed to get little Winry Rockbell to join the boys for that. Then he'd showed up at her door with plans for her.
Riza had just spent the last hour soaking in a hot bath with the latest book by her favorite author to keep her company. Now she was curled up on the couch with Mustang behind her, giving her a back massage. She could smell dinner cooking in kitchen, though Mustang wouldn't tell her what it was. It smelled wonderful.
She let her mind drift, enjoying the calm. She was supremely content right now. Roy leaned forward, his breath warm against her ear. "Are you going to believe me next time I tell you you need to be pampered?"
