Now..here's the next chap! Sorry for the oocnes! I wanted it that way..hehe..it's just a fic!
Roy finished his work and made Hawkeye proud, but as he was to ask about the Winry and the Ed thing.. he was interrupted by a certain Havoc, Fuery, Fallman and Breda.
"Sir how could you do this to us!" they asked each showing him a piece of paper.
"What have I done? I'm just here minding my own business" he explained.
"You just demoted us from your subordinates to privates!" they exclaimed.
"You must be mistaken!" he said.
"No it's clear! Look here!" they pushed the papers to his face.
"But this isn't my work! Wait a minute.." he stopped as he observed and saw that his signature on each of the papers.
"Sir see! Why would you do this? We were suppose to be promoted..not demoted!" they exclaimed more.
"I don't know how this happened..but why didn't Hawkeye bet demoted?" he asked.
Hawkeye interrupted and said.. "Because when I gave you my form.. I told you to read it carefully. You must have just gotten lazy and signed the demotion papers for these guys." She said pointing at the four.
"But Lieutenant.. how could that be? The ones they gave me were promotion papers..not demotion papers!" he explained.
Suddenly Havoc saw a familiar piece of paper at the Colonel's trash. He got it and saw that it was his promotion paper. He dug the trash later on to find out that the other's papers are here. They were all stamped with the word Rejected. "Does this explain it sir? How could you!" they exclaimed.
" I swear! I didn't do this.. and why would I get demotion paper for you guys. You may be annoying but I'm not cold-blooded enough to do that to you!" he said.
" We don't believe you!" they said slamming the door and walked down the hallway with stomping feet.
Roy was worried. His subordinates are mad, Ed and Winry too.
Roy's POV
Who could be next? Riza..? Oh God please no! Even though I don't believe in you!
End of POV
Riza noticed the Colonel's deep thinking and silence. Since he finished his paperwork already she complemented him "You should go home now sir. You finished your paper on time, I'll walk you home."
Roy's eyes widened and went back to reality. He realizes that Riza will never leave him no matter what. She'll be always there for him even if things get to the worst. "Thank you Riza. Come on let's go." He said getting his coat and hers.
On their way home, it rained. They both have coats but no umbrella so when Roy noticed Riza was soaking wet, he put off his coat and wrapped it around her. "Here. I don't want you to get sick and leave me in the office with my 'demoted' subordinates fighting me."
"But sir? What about you?" she asked.
"I'm okay.. I'm a man ain't I?" he said in a cheery tone trying to make Hawkeye less worried of him.
"Sir, you're just saying that. Please I can read your mind. Just let it all out." She said.
"Riza please, no need for formality. We're not in the office. I don't need to let it out okay?" he said with a very small tear which Riza saw.
"Ok then, Roy..please.. let it all out.. for me. It's a tough day for you, but I'm here no need to worry." She said.
When Roy was about to hug her Riza spoke "Oh, we're here! Let's go in now!"
Roy opened his house door and let Riza in. "You can sleep in my bedroom for the night, I'll sleep in the couch. It's raining hard already, I won't let you go out of here." He said closing the door.
"Sir, I mean Roy.. I'll stay here if only you sleep in your bed. You need it more, you need more rest. And besides, it's your bed!" she argued.
"No.. this is a thank you. For always being there for me." Roy explained.
"Well.. if you say so.."
After a few minutes, Roy decided to cook for Riza already. He made a steak dinner for this occasion since he was looking forward for Riza to come in his humble abode.
Riza enjoyed his cooking and was amazed. After that Roy took a shower then Riza.
When it was her time to bathe, she did it quick to not give a bother for the Colonel's water bill. Then she went out. Because of her hurrying, she saw Roy naked! She turned around and blushed soo much. But because of her hurrying, her towel dropped too and now there are two naked people in the room! Roy turned around and nosebleed a bit and got dressed. Riza went back in the shower and fixed her towel. After that they talked.
"I'm sorry." they said at the same time.
"It's okay." They said together again.
After that there was silence. But then, Roy broke the silence and said "Let's go to bed now." And smiled
"Si…I mean Roy? Please, sleep with me tonight. I know you won't let me leave your bed, but I won't let you sleep in an uncomfortable couch while you're suffering." Riza explained.
Roy's eyes widened again and he blushed. "Are you sure?" he asked with a perverted look.
"Just don't do anything funny! I sleep with my guns you know!" Riza exclaimed blushing.
"Okay..not to worrr. I have a brain to think you know too? I won't take advantage of the only subordinate that still likes me..that is..uh.." Roy slipped and got nervous.
Hawkeye carried him up the bed and said "Hey heavy guy, just get to sleep!"
"Okay..so?" he said moving aside to give her space.
"Yeah.. I'm going to sleep now." She said.
"Goodnight Riza.."
"Goodnight Roy.."
After that, they closed their eyes and slept. In what happened that night.. well.. I dunno! Joke… stay in tune for the next chap!
R&R!
