Drabble 2: Drifting
Riza Hawkeye lent against a wall, after hearing something that made her skin freeze over. She remembered as a little girl when he father used to speak about the secrets of the human soul. What was a soul? How did a soul relate to our feelings...? She never realized it, but maybe all of the people do have a darker side of themselves, be it good or bad.
She heard shuffling inside the room wall she was leaning on, so she left, steadily making her way back to Colonel Roy's office. She looked behind her and saw a gloomy looking blond lieutenant leave, and walk the opposite direction.
"Hmm..." she shouldn't bother him. While walking, Riza soon was drifting back to her thoughts of when her father told her stories that he had made up, about dragons, pirates, knights and such. Like that stuff was actually real. She knew from the beginning, because her father was a bad storyteller, even though he tried hard.
There was one night however that he sat on the side of her bed and held open his palm to her. Of course, little Riza was confused, but her father took her hand and placed it over his own. She remembered the exact words.
"Do you feel a negative?" he had said. Little Riza only looked up to her father and told him she felt a heartbeat, and she could feel his warmth within his palm. He smiled at her that night and drew her into a long hug, and a small kiss on the forehead. Little Riza giggled then, but not now.
The night after, Little Riza found out her father had been murdered. He was of the military...and it was said he died protecting a young girl from a massive killer. A young girl the same age as she was that time.
Riza stopped and held out her palm and touched her left fingers to it. She felt no negative. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the Colonel's door. He had never said why he asked her that, and now...maybe she would never know.
I'd like to thank Kaiya-Chan for the review! Yes, to answer your question, there is some Riza/Jean in there. Muwhahah. She was waiting outside for him, but he didn't know that, she changed her mind, letting it wander. These two drabbles go together, and the next one won't. MWUAHAHH! Thanks again!
