Chapter 4- Burden?

SLAM!

A fist slammed an alley wall continuously; not even caring about the pain it inflicted upon itself.

"Dammit… Dammit…" he chanted many times. "DAMMIT!" He straightened up and glanced at the bruises and wounds on his aching hand. A small amount of blood trickled from the bruise. But the pain didn't matter to him. Two faces flashed through his mind. He simply grinned at the sight of those images, Riza Hawkeye, his love and that bastard, Roy Mustang, that asshole who stole Riza and everything else away from him.

"Mustang… Mustang…" he swore under his breath. "I'll kill you… I'll kill Mustang…" the sin just laughed as he swore his vow.

"Colonel… Lieuntenant… you're in bad shape…"

Sergeant Major Cain Fury was staring at Roy, who came back with Riza.

"Fullmetal's in an even worse fix. Call for a stretcher. And call for Major Armstrong. We need help in carrying Fullmetal's brother." Roy ordered. Fury nodded and did as he was told. Moments later, a stretcher carried Edward while Armstrong burst in posing, while carrying Alphonse.

Riza didn't saw a word. Being saved by her own superior AND lover, she felt completely helpless towards herself and others. And she hardly if not, never was.

Roy slammed the door of his office and gave a sigh. Riza stood there, waiting for her overprotective lover to speak about her actions.

But surprisingly, there was none. The colonel just hugged Riza close in his arms again. Said First Lieutenant did nothing but let him. Roy let go off Riza who gazed deeply at his eyes.

"Taisa, I told you. Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself." Riza said softly and calmly.

"I can't do that! Not with that psycho bastard out there!" Roy rejected. "Something could have happened to you or worse!"
"Taisa, I can defend myself-"

"Just like how you defended yourself in the park!"

Riza was silenced. She hated the feeling of being weak and helpless even more. Especially the fact that her taisa was there to witness her as well. She hated that feeling to the fullest.

"Riza, I love you… Please… I don't want you taken away and hurt by that asshole just like that." Roy said, taking Riza close. Riza couldn't believe the expression on her colonel's face. It wasn't his usual confident smirk that could tell the world that nothing was impossible for him and that he was the most perfect man in the world. It was a sad and sincere one, the expression of worry and concern. Riza couldn't bare seeing it. She could shed tears just by that. She wanted her colonel to be happy with that cocky attitude like he always had, not a worried and concerned look because of her safety.

"I won't, for the both our sakes. But Roy…" she paused giving a small scoff, "Don't worry about me. I don't want to be anyone's burden. Especially not yours." Riza pleaded.

"I promise. You're not anyone's burden. Especially not mine." Roy said as he gave Riza his most breath taking and passionate kiss. Riza gladly accepted it, trying to forget this afternoon's events. They broke up, gasping for air in the matter of one minute.

"Oh, here taisa. I got this for you." Riza said as she handed over the already warm latte. She kept it inside a plastic on her bag before everything else happened.

Roy drank from it deeply. The taste of latte lingered inside him.

"Thanks, Lieutenant." Roy smiled. Riza smiled at the sight of his smile.

"Taisa, I have a question. How did you find out I was in the park with Edward-san and Alphonse-san?" Riza asked.

"Let's just say I had a sixth sense over lovers." Roy placed his smirk with a glint in his eye. Riza smiled and stole a kiss from her superior. The two enjoyed every moment of it. It tasted like coffee but it was the sweetest coffee they could ever taste.

"Colonel?"

Havoc gave a silent knock and went in, holding important papers. He dropped his bar of tobacco in shock. He saw his superiors kissing each other. The couple didn't pay attention to his intrusion. They couldn't even careless of each other's surroundings.

Havoc silently walked out and closed the door, leaving the two to their moment.

Havoc then placed a sign on the colonel's door after grabbing a paper and writing on it.

"DO NOT DISTURB. Scene inside may turn to a Rated R scene later… you have been warned."

That was short… ;;; But I just placed that one for fun. XD
