A Visit from the Colonel

Roy stood outside Riza's door. He was wearing a pair of black pants and a dark blue collar shirt with a scarf. It was pouring snow around him… he had no idea what he was doing or what he was going to say for that matter… he plucked up the courage to ring the door bell. He had wasted an hour deciding if 8 AM was too early for a visit. He had paced back and forth in his vestibule then he had just taken a chance and jumped into his car. Riza walked to the door and looked out and gasped.

"Colonel?" She asked opening the door. He nodded and she allowed him to enter. "What are you doing here so early?"

"I'm sorry… was I too early?" Roy pulled off his scarf and boots. Black Hayate barked and sniffed Roy's foot. He petted the puppy distractedly.

"No… not at all…" Riza told him, "Come on in I was just making some coffee." She beckoned him into the kitchen. She was wearing a blue skirt that just barely reached her knees. Under her skirt she had on blue leggings. Over all this she had on a long white turtle neck sweater, the sleeves hid most of her hands up to her finger tips and it hung only a few inches above the skirt bottom. She walked over to the coffee pot and heard Roy stop.

"Sorry about visiting so early." Roy apologized again and Riza smiled.

"It's alright… I'm glad you came by…" Riza poured him a cup of coffee and set the pot back down.

"Thank you." He thanked her as she handed him the coffee mug.

"Here, come into the living room…" Riza led him into a small cozy den. It had a fireplace that was not lit. In front of it was a deep blue couch that seemed like it was a giant pouffe Roy squinted at it and Riza laughed. "Everyone does that to my couch, sit on it, you'll never want to get back up…" She told him and he shook his head.

"Nah… I'd prefer to get back up again… I think that thing will swallow me whole." Roy said and Riza laughed. The carpet of the room was a pale tan, the walls were also a dark blue color In one corner was a desk with a dim lamp turned on. The only light in the room was the lamp and another lamp next to the couch. "Why don't you ever have this lit?" He asked her, looking at the fireplace.

"Because I can't light it… It won't light for me." Riza smiled and Roy examined it, opening the flu shutter. He looked at the logs for a second, drank more of his coffee and then snapped. A spark sprang from his fingers and set the logs on fire and he closed the mesh guard.

"There." He smiled as she sat down in the couch. "Alright… she says that you're comfortable… if you don't eat me and I get out of this thing alive I might think about liking you." Roy spoke to the couch then sat down next to her. He sunk into couch and immediately thought, I am never getting up from this spot.

"See I told you that you would never want to get up." Riza smiled. "So Colonel what brings you to my house at 9 o'clock in the morning?"

"Not much… I just enjoy your company." Roy said, but there was something else… something that he seemed to want to say but couldn't.

"You are a terrific dancer you know?" Riza asked him.

"Really? Thanks… my mother taught me…" Roy's eyes glazed over for a second, apparently from nostalgia.

"What was your mother like?" Riza put her hand on his. He looked at her hand.

"My mother? She was a little like you… strong, valiant and great under pressure. She was beautiful too… my mother was beautiful. She had a beautiful smile… just like you." Roy smiled at her and her face turned red.

"Thank you… sir…" She suddenly felt his hand under her chin.

"Riza… may I kiss you… again?" He asked her. "I enjoyed last night…" He whispered as she leaned over to him.

"Yes… you may." She told him and pressed her lips onto his. She pushed him back onto the couch, her body pressed to his. She laced her fingers through his hair, bringing them back out, spiking his hair slightly. Then to tease him she slowly began to unbutton his shirt. He almost groaned as he felt her cool moist mouth come in contact with his heated chest. His shining porcelain skin was a delight of hers. She felt his hand under her chin again and he brought her lips back to his. He slipped his hands down and began to slide her sweater off, pulling it off over her head, her hair falling out of its clip and over her shoulders. Now all that was left of her tops was a white strapless bra. Their lips met in another passionate kiss, he flipped them over, her thighs were now cradling his hips.

"I've been waiting for years… years Riza…" Roy murmured in her ear.

"You're not the only one…" Riza replied, pulling his lips back to hers. She opened his shirt all the way, sliding it off. She laced her fingers through his hair as his hands traveled up her body, learning curves and dips. Then suddenly one of his hands found her breast, tenderly cupping the soft mound in his hand he ran his fingers over every part of her breast that they could find without removing her bra. She ruffled his hair and chuckled softly.

"Are you laughing at me?" Roy asked her.

"N-no…" She laughed. "I'm laughing at your hair." She chuckled, his hair was now messy and bits of it were sticking up. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Riza looked at Roy.

"Were you expecting someone?" Roy looked at her.

"DAMN! Only the General and his WIFE! Shit Roy!" Roy sat up and began to button his shirt and ran to the door, still buttoning.

"Sir!" Roy saluted Hakuro. Hakuro saluted the Colonel.

"I wasn't expecting you here Colonel Mustang." Hakuro smiled. His wife smiled at him and Roy nodded to her, a slight nervous smile on his face. Riza ran up the stairs behind them and Roy allowed the general to enter, taking his and his wife coats he hung them on the rack and then ran up the stairs after leading the general and Renée in to the kitchen. He asked them to wait for a few minutes then took off.

"Riza." Roy hissed. Wondering where she was.

"Roy? I'm in here." He heard her voice from one of the rooms.

"Riza what am I supposed to say? I haven't spoken with the general for months." Roy asked her, walking in. She was buttoning up a white blouse, her leggings were on the floor.

"Roy, just leave… just leave alright?" Riza told him and he looked at her.

"Alright…" He said and walked out, his head hung slightly.
