AN: Sorry this chapter is so short. I got kind of stuck this evening trying to find something more to go with. Eventually, I'll get around to adding chappy five. sighs heavily My goal: FIFTEEN CHAPTERS! At least… , ;;;;;
Chapter Four
Riza sat in her office staring at the walls with a stack of paperwork in front of her. Her mind was far from work though. She recalled the past several weeks. She felt as dirty and low as anyone or anything could get. She shifted her gaze to the picture of her beloved Colonel that was no longer with them. She felt a few tears slip down her cheek. How could she look at his face and not feel like the world's lowest scum?
Havoc walked into Hawkeye's office to deliver some paperwork Colonel Elric wanted delivered. Havoc wanted to sock the kid today. Ed had pushed his luck a lot lately. But, his pleasure of beating on him was taken away by Winry. Winry had done the job quite well by her lonesome. Havoc held back a chuckle at the lovely shiner Ed had just below his left eye.
Riza glanced up and saw Havoc. She pushed her seat back and stood. She made her way around the desk and leaned against it. Havoc made his way across the room with a slight wave. Reaching around her to place the paperwork on her desk, he never lost eye contact with her. Riza held his gaze; she pushed the picture on her desk to lay face down on her desk.
"Ma'am…" Havoc whispered.
"Sir…" Riza said lightly in response.
Havoc nodded slowly. He stood up straight and took a drag of his cigarette. Blowing the smoke back out, he shoved his hands back into his pockets. Silence fell over the two people. Riza watched his movements much to her name, like a hawk. Havoc smiled a bit nervously. It had been several weeks since their first encounter in her room when they had slept together for the first time. Several weeks following, they had quite a few liaisons. Havoc opened his mouth to speak to break the silence only to find Riza conquering his mouth.
Riza pulled them both towards the couch in the office. She shoved Havoc down on the couch. She roughly kissed him again. She began to rub his chest seductively. This is wrong… She thought as she had thought many times before. This is very wrong…Riza…why? Why are you doing this…? She soon had Havoc's bare chest exposed. I'm such a whore…a slut…
"Hawk…we…we shouldn't…not again…" Havoc struggled to say while his heart broke.
"Shhh…shut up…" Riza hissed before roughly kissing him again, "Hold on…"
Riza got up and walked over to the door. She made sure it was shut and locked. Walking back she discarded her own jacket and top leaving her bra exposed to havoc. She climbed back onto his lap.
Havoc was at a loss once again. When you are the one being used, knowing you love the person, its hard to say no. Havoc struggled to try and pry Hawkeye off. He lost, not only to Hawkeye but to himself. His desire took control. Once more, Hawkeye's office was turned into their 'play' room.
Ed sat in his apartment smelling Winry's cooking. He sighed happily and smiled. Relaxing into the couch, he continued reading a few more reports. Reading the latest one his smile faltered. Avarice again. Ed's heart fell. Winry noticed the change.
"Edward…? Are you all right?" She asked crossing from the kitchen to the living room. She took a seat next to him and looked at him concerned.
"Avarice…again." Ed continued reading the report and didn't notice Winry's tears. "He just wont stop…"
"Oh…." Winry hung her head and silently started to sob. This was too hard on Ed, and it was showing.
"Win…?" Ed looked up at the sound of Winry's soft sobbing. Ed put the report down. "Hey…what's wrong, Win?"
"You…you have so much…so much to deal with…its so hard on you! You don't share it with me! I can take some of the burden, Edward! I'm not too weak!" Winry said looking at Ed pleadingly. Ed blinked. He smiled sadly and pulled Winry into a tight hug.
"Hey, hey, hey…Shhhh. What's this…? My Winny girl crying?" Ed laughed lightly trying to cheer Winry up.
"Y…your girl?" Winry pulled from Ed and looked at him surprised through tears. "Am…am I your…your girl?"
"What do you mean…? You always have been…" Ed smiled blushing lightly.
"I…I…" Winry was blushing heavily and cast her eyes down to her hands in her lap.
Ed smiled at Winry. He leaned forward and pulled her chin up with his hand. Before she could protest, he placed a light kiss on her lips. He pulled back blushing but happy. He was afraid for so long of losing her. He'd lost too many people. This time, he wouldn't let himself push Winry far away. He needed her around as much as she needed him. She was more than just his friend. She was his mechanic, friend, family, and most of all, his Winry.
"How's dinner coming…?" Ed asked with a smile.
"Dinner…?" Winry's eyes shot wide open. "OH NO!"
Ed blinked at Winry's sudden outburst. He laughed lightly at her attempts to put the now flaming chicken out. Ed shook his head. His Winry wasn't the BEST of cooks, but she more than made up for it with her expertise in his automail arm. His thoughts wandered to Al...
