look ma! i wrote havoc/roy! mostly cause Spades asked so nicely. -fireun
Roy Mustang was insufferable, arrogant, elitist, smug, and just a general pain in the ass. And not only that, he was a womanizer. Which made things rather...interesting. Interesting in the respect that after all the rampant womanizing he wandered back to Jean's place, smelling like a brothel's water closet – an unmistakable blend of perfume, makeup and that damn potpourri.
And he complained about some nice, natural, cigarette smoke. Some people just had to win all the time.
Jean had it down to a bit of an art form. Roy left the office at the exact same time every evening. If he had a date, he would run a hand through his hair and glance sideways into the window in order to verify he was looking his best. That was when Jean would know he had approximately three hours.
Roy could only stand simpering for so long.
Three hours was plenty of time to make sure that when Roy let himself in with a sigh, Jean would hand him a mug of strong brewed coffee, and wait until he settled on the couch with a sort of satisfied huff of breath, the kind that relaxes every muscle in the body above the waist.
That was Jean's cue to settle on the couch as well. Roy would raise one arm in an almost absentminded invitation at this point, draping it over Jean's shoulders when he settled closer, resting his head on Roy's shoulder.
They were quiet evenings, Jean enjoying the fact that he could hear Roy's tension wander off, replaced by a placidly steady heartbeat. And when Roy started reading his usual musty alchemical treatises, it was only a matter of time before Jean's patience wore out and he would start tickling in order to regain the man's attention.
Well, that and it was just damn funny to hear Roy giggle like that.
Ok. It was also partially an excellent excuse to get Roy's hands all over him when the man recovered enough to fight back.
Tickling really was the best and most successful form of flirting.
