Dog

She immediately woke up as she felt arms moving around her waist, instantly realising that Roy had woke up before her. Riza turned around to face him. There was a moment of silence there, both just staring into each other's eyes; something that the couple had done every morning before greeting each other.

"Morn hon," he grinned.

"Good morning Roy," she sighed, not expecting him to release her from his grasp anytime soon, "it may be a Saturday, but I personally prefer not to laze around in the bed for the whole morning.

"Come on Riza," he pouted, arms tightening around her body, "it's only 7am!"

"You do remember that you still have leftover work from yesterday night do you?" she reminded.

"Can't we leave that to later?" Roy asked, trying to give her his best set of puppy dog eyes.

"The earlier we finish it, the more the time we have for other things," she noted, his puppy-dog eyes apparently did not work on her very well.

"I still refuse to let you go," his lip curved into a pout.

"Roy…" Riza tried to struggle out of his grasp.

"Never!" He exclaimed.

"No breakfast for you then," she gave him a stern look.

"So be it."

"You said it."

"Yeah."

"Let me go."

"No," Roy's embrace tightened once again.

"Please?" She sighed.

"Can't I just enjoy half an hour in bed with my beautiful wife awake and snuggling up to me?" Roy frowned.

"What are you," she asked, "a kid?"

"I don't mind being called one!" Roy grinned.

"Fine," she finally gave in, "I'd give you another 10 minutes."

Roy's arms finally relaxed as she gave in, he just looked into her amber eyes, grinning like an idiot. Riza patiently waited for the time to pass. She really wanted to finish the leftover paperwork by noon, and hopefully have time to tidy up the house, since she had not done it for the past two weeks. And now, here she was trapped in the embrace of her childish husband.

The couple looked down at their feet as they felt something moving in the blankets, something furry and small. Riza gave a small yelp as she felt something licking her feet, and Roy immediately threw the blanket to the other side, to only face a small happy dog wagging his tail eagerly. Roy gave a deep sigh and pulled the blanket over his body again, pulling Riza down with him. But the dog did not allow it.

Hayate bounced through the bedding to their faces, tail wagging happily at his mistress and her mate. He then pounced onto his master's face and started licking his face, trying to get him to really wake up.

"Hayate!" he shouted, "stop licking my face!"

Riza merely looked at her dog and husband as they 'fought'. Roy tried to pull the covers over his head as well but Hayate quickly dug him out, then continuing licking his face, until Roy finally decided to wake up.

"Fine! Fine!" Roy frowned, "I'm up!"

Hayate yipped happily at his master's comment, then jumped off the bed and left the room. Leaving Riza still laughing at their actions.

"See!" she stood up and wiped tears from her eyes, "even Hayate don't want you to sleep in."

Roy continued pouting and quickly stood up along with her, then heading to the bathroom, swearing at the dog who was just outside the bedroom door.

A/N: I never liked it when my dog wakes me up on Saturday mornings, digging, licking, play-biting, all sorts of crap.
