A/N: Just a fluffy Royai drabble… Not one of my better ones, but something to read. And for some reason, the title reminds me of those "Good Nites" things, ya know, the underwear kids wear to bed so they can pee in 'em and not be embarrassed? Lol, wow, that just puts a totally new viewpoint on this drabble... I'll never be able to look at it the same again::twitch: Please review!

29. Roy x Riza – Good Night

"Sir, it's getting late—oh."

Riza stepped into the colonel's office to say good-night, but the colonel was already far ahead of her. He was snoozing on his desk, his head resting on his military jacket like a pillow. The lights were off, and Riza didn't dare turn them on, lest she disturb her favorite colonel.

For a moment, she stood in the doorway, not really wanting to leave. She just watched the colonel's back rise up and down with his steady breathing… watched his little mouth widen with each intake of breath. She smiled. He looked absolutely harmless – not the evil brute that FullMetal made him out to be.

Striding further into the office, Riza continued watching over Roy, her overcoat swishing as she rounded the desk's corner. Gently, cautiously, she bent down to brush a small lock of hair from his face, but his silky bangs just fell right back into place. Riza couldn't help but smile; his hair was as stubborn as he was.

Feeling a sudden, motherly urge come over her, Riza removed her own military jacket and draped it over the rising and falling shoulders of the man in front of her. She smiled, her blue uniform wrapped neatly around Roy's shoulders like a blanket. There… she thought to herself, still smiling serenely.

She bent down to kiss him. "Good-night, colonel," she whispered, closing the office door behind her.

In his sleep, Roy smiled.

Blackrose Kitsune: Yeah, well, I was originally going to have it be like a pairing kinda thing at the end, ya know, Maes confessing his undying love for Roy, but… no. Ha ha. Maybe someday I'll do a drabble like that… :smirk: Thanks for the review!

Miss Darkrose: Well, now you found out, and everybody's happy… 'specially Roy, ne? Thanks for the review!

MetalWing Alchemist: No way, PPG is cool. I haven't seen it in a while, but I do gotta say their movie sucked big time… heh heh. I like the retro PPG from the late 90's… like, back when I was a kid… :goes off on a "When I was your age…" tangent… even though you're older than me… o.o: But, chyeah! Riza could borrow Armstrong's sparkles and use them for her backgrounds! XD Yeah, I liked the idea of Maes coming back just to tell Roy to cheer his angsty little bum up. :pets Maes: Good boy, yes you are… n.n Anyway, thanks for the review:)
