Roy shivered slightly as he pulled his coat tighter around him. He looked around as his feet led him on the familiar trail. Everything looked very bare now. The holidays had past and with the lights and decorations gone, all that remained was the emptiness that came with winter. The late hour of the night didn't help either. The light from the lamppost was casting a dreary glow. Roy looked up as he finally reached his destination. Casting aside his thoughts he pushed open the door and stepped in quickly. Pausing for a moment to adjust to the warmth of the room, he walked over to his usually seat on the bar.
He nodded slightly to the bar tender as he set down a glass of beer. Taking a large drink, he turned to study the occupants of the bar. He frowned slightly at first as he noticed the lack of females. It was common knowledge he was a bit of a ladies man but lately he seemed to be off of his game. As his gaze continued around the room his eyes fell on a pretty young woman who was smiling happily at the end of the bar. She appeared to be in her early twenties with long golden blonde hair that curved off about mid-back. He watched as the man next to her held out a coat to her then walked her to the door. His eyes followed her, more specifically her hair, until the door closed behind her.
Pulling himself from his trance he turned back to the bar while taking a drink of his beer. The woman reminded him of someone but he couldn't quite identify who. After another drink Roy's eyes opened wide in realization. Her golden hair matched that of his subordinate, Hawkeye. Roy smirked slightly at the thought of Hawkeye behaving as that woman had. First, she had never appeared that happy and care free, always orderly and proper. Second, she her hair was always tight up in a bun. I wonder what her hair would look like down. I bet it's more beautiful than the other woman, and so soft I could run my hands through it. Roy shook his head and scowled himself for such thoughts. Hawkeye was off-limits...not that he would be interested anyway, would he?
Taking another gulp of his beer, he returned to his comparison of the two women. After a moment he came up with one final difference. That woman had obviously been on a date, something he could never imagine Hawkeye participating in. In the 10 months she had been working under him he had never heard a word about her personal life. Roy's eyes flashed open in shock as Hawkeye's words played over in his mind. Day off...personal reasons...not say... It couldn't be. There was NO way Riza Hawkeye was going on a date this Friday, or was she?
Roy felt a small tug at his chest as he imagined Riza as the woman at the bar, laughing with some strange man. He felt himself ready to snap his fingers at the unknown man, figuring it would be a good use of his alchemy. Shaking his head to clear the absurd thought, his conscience decided to make an appearance.
You know your jealous Roy. You wish it was you Riza was going on a date with.
Roy half chuckled, like a child trying to keep a secret that had already been discovered. He wasn't jealous...only worried. Yes, he was worried that Riza would get hurt. No, he was not jealous, nope, not at all. He lifted his glass to his mouth and took one final drink, finishing it off. He slapped the money down on the counter and stood up slowly to prevent the blood running to his head. He turned and walked to the door, shivering again at the sudden change in the temperature. I'm not jealous, I'm... Roy stopped, not even believing himself even more. As his feet once again led him to his destination, he made a decision.
He was following her on Friday. He needed to see for himself the man that had captured the attention of his Riza.
So how was it? I would really like some comment, I'm not sure if I'm too OOC or maybe moving too fast with their feelings? I would really appreciate some advice! And I might not always update this fast but I already had the idea for this chapter soo... Well Once again thanks! Reviews extrememly appreciated!
