Catch Me if I Fall

Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist.

A/N: I'm sorry it took me so long to update this story, but I was busy watching the anime Kyou Kara Maou and I couldn't bring myself to abandon the totally hot Conrad and Yuuri until I had finished watching every episode that I had. I know this is no excuse for irritating you wonderful people, so I'll just tell you that I can't write in peace while my dad's home cause he'll just walk in my room and read what I've written… this creates a very nervous authoress, so, I wait until he's at work. Anyways, I DID update and I hope you enjoy it!

"I'm waiting for an explanation."

Sighing, I drop my head in defeat, "Ok." Looking around I notice the crowds of people streaming by the alley that we are tucked into. Nervously I ask, "Can… can we go somewhere more private?"

Raising an elegant eyebrow in my direction he motions for me to follow him and I do so with only a little bit of reluctance. 'What am I going to say to him? How am I going to explain this feeling for him? …. What am I going to do?'

"oof," I grunt as I collide with his back. I step back to give him his space as he turns around to glance at me.

"Is this private enough for you," he asks, and as I look around him I see that we're at his home.

"Your house is a perfect place for this," I try grinning up at him, but my grin slips off my face as he glares at me slightly.

"You wouldn't know that this was my house unless you were following me home every night, would you," he questions as he unlocks his front door and steps aside to let me pass through.

Feeling more comfortable than I should be feeling in somebody else's house I walk confidently into his living room and settle myself down on his couch. He follows into the room and instead of sitting with me he decides to prop himself in the chair before me, so that he's facing my, quickly becoming uneasy, face.

"Now, no more lies, Fury. Tell me why you've been stalking me," he demands before leaning back into the leather and waiting patiently for my reply.

Blushing, I stammer, "Ano… eh… I… well you see?… hmm…" frowning at myself I cease my nervous stuttering. 'This is only making you look so completely uncool. Let's try to keep at least a shred of pride here, shall we?'

Havoc's eyes lose some of their piercing sharpness and soften enough to give me a bit of hope. "Fury, would you like something to drink? Tea, maybe?"

Starting slightly at this obvious show of friendship I smile shyly and answer back quickly, "Ah, no thank you. I just wanna get this out." Taking a deep breath I run at that metaphorical cliff and leap head first, denying all my fears of not being caught after I've fallen. 'He'll catch me… He'll catch me. I just know he will!'

"You see, Havoc, I've been following you for over a week now because I could no longer just watch you at work and be satisfied. Havoc…" I stare straight into his eyes and I don't waver. My determination is set and I'm ready to go… no matter the consequences. "Havoc, I'm in love with you!"

'There! I said it. It's out, I've jumped. Now it's up to you, will you catch me?'

I lay back against the couch's soft back and wait in anticipation for his response. His eyes go wide the instant those words burst from my mouth, but as they begin to sink in he just looks back at me with an unreadable expression and lets out a heavy breath. Suddenly, his head flies back and he laughs loudly, there is no criticism in that laugh. I smile in relief as I realize that no matter what he won't abandon me here, not now, not ever.

"Damn, Fury, we sure are a pair of fools.." He breathes in deeply to stop his laughing and he wipes his eyes where they had begun to tear up. "I've been in love with you for years, but I never would have guess that you were so much more desperate than me."

I nearly jump over the back of the couch at his confession, and I'm slightly offended at his apparent stab. "I… I am NOT desperate," I say indignantly. 'The nerve of that man! How dare he?'

Laughing at me anew he jumps up from the chair and moves to loom over me. He moves to sit on my lap, straddling my hips, and he grabs my chin between two deft fingers and pulls my face up at an angle. Soon, before I have time to think or react, I feel his lips against mine, pulling, nipping, brushing along me. I gasp in surprise and unwittingly leave myself open for an attack. He seizes this opportunity to assault the inside of my mouth with his tongue. The snake-like muscle brakes through my defenses and explores the depths behind the walls of my lips. 'I surrender…'

"Havoc, I surrender, you've won…. You can have me," I whisper breathlessly against him. But he doesn't reply until he's done ravishing the spoils of our long awaited war.

He leans in against my ear and whispers back, "You give in too easily." Returning to my lips he smiles and continues huskily, "I've caught you, Fury."

Jumping slightly at his unknowing answer to my inner question I grin inwardly in satisfaction and breathlessly reply, "Yes, you have… don't ever let go."

'If you fall I will catch you.'

A/N: Well, there I finally finished the little tryst between Havoc and Fury. How'd ya like it? I'd love to know. By the way I thought that I should mention that I will be posting a Fullmetal Alchemist STORY with a Roy and Ed pairing as long as a tiny tiny Roy and Hughes pairing part. The story will be called Rebound. So, look for it if ya wanna read it. Oh, and I was wondering if any of my readers were bikers, like with bicycles not motorcycles, cause I love to bike. In fact last summer I went on a bike tour with my family from Connecticut all the way through to Bar Harbor, Maine. We ended up going a total of 580 miles at the very least, that's not counting all the times we got lost and had to double back, but it was worth it and it's something I'll never ever forget. Anyways, I was just curious. Oh, and hey, I finally tried Cookie Dough Icecream for the first time, it was AWESOME! I didn't know they actually put cookie dough bits in the icecream, nearly scared me to death. I was thinking, 'What the hell is dat?' But it's all good. Anyways, I'll be working on my new story for a while so I don't know when the next drabble will pop up, but keep checking around for Rebound, the first chapter'll be up in a couple of days… probably. Later!
