A/N: Sequel to The Urge
There was something about Edward Elric's smile as he took the cookie. It was a little boy's smile, but hit held dark promises. Or maybe Riza was just imagining things. She could still hear the secretaries talking, but they were now being to quiet for her to catch their words.
"Where's your brother?" Riza asked casually, watching Ed lick cookie crumbs off his fingers.
"Outside, trying to get someone to take his new kitten." He grinned again. "I don't suppose…" Riza shook her head, and Ed shrugged. "Worth a shot." He started to get up. "Oh, you've got…" he gestured towards his upper lip, and Riza immediately put a hand up to check for clinging food. "No, let me…" He leaned across the table as if to wipe something off her face…
And he kissed her.
It was like heat lightning in summer, hot and sudden and brilliant. He tasted like chocolate.
And then he was gone, flashing her that little boy smile as he ran for his life.
