"This is it, Roy," Sepia took a deep breath while flipping her long braid back behind her shoulder, fear showing clearly in her jade eyes. "Do you think I'm ready?"
"I think so," he took a look at his companion. She seemed to be more nervous than he. To him, she looked as of she was shaking. "Sepia, I know we're ready. We are going to become State Alchemists. We've worked to hard and done to many things in this time not to become one."
She looked at him with a small smile. She was only sixteen, though having the body of a twenty-one-year-old, but the face of a young girl of fourteen years, and she was facing her future. Roy was about twenty-three, and he was facing his. He felt something with the young girl that he didn't usually have. He wrapped his arms around her in an embrace. She returned the hug.
With a bright flash, the two split apart with a glare to the view of the light. There, among the pretty little lights, stood Riza, Maes, Gracia, and Loralie. Gracia wore her long hair back in a pony tail, her beautiful long waves glistening in the sun light. Loralie had her hair in two pigtails. Maes and Riza were in uniform. In Maes's hands, the source of the light was held. That damned to hell wretched piece of shit Sepia and Roy thought they hid good enough he wouldn't be able to find it till the next day.
"What? I had to get it!" Maes laughed as he looked at the glares of the two nervous-enough-to-puke standing before him. "Its blackmail of life!"
"Good luck you two!" Gracia and Loralie chanted in unison as they held out a bouquets of flowers from the shop they worked at in town.
"We know you two are the only two capable enough of making it this year," Riza smiled with a silent good luck.
Roy opened his eyes to notice the girl at his side was gone and the sun was shining brightly in his eyes. He couldn't figure out where Arianna was, but smelt food in the air. The food smelt good, unlike his own cooking. This didn't smell burned. He also heard Riza's voice. What was better than this! Food, no Arianna, and Riza! Roy's day was looking up.
Then...he heard it. He heard what Riza was saying. He paled. He didn't want her to say that...no! She could! No! No! No! He got up and ran over to the door, pressing his ear to it to hear the conversation better. He couldn't believe this was happening. No way!
"I just don't know what to do!" Riza cried out in stress.
"I don't know what to tell you, Riza," Arianna spoke, "this never happened to me before."
"I just...don't think its working anymore..." Riza sighed.
"I say you do it," Arianna said solemnly.
"But then you have to deal with him," Riza said concerned, "I don't want you dealing with him."
"I'll be fine, I promise," Arianna said.
"Alright, Arianna...I'll do it..."Riza said.
Roy got up. He dreaded to. Riza was going to break up with him. He knew it. Arianna was going to be dealing with him. He didn't want her to see him if he was down. He was supposed to be strong for her, but how would he be about to do something like that without Riza? Roy was supposed to be keeping Arianna happy and in a peaceful place, not stress her out beyond belief. Maybe he could get her to spend the day out with Elysia? Perhaps.
An hour later, Roy sat on the couch, hands cupping his face. He was right. Riza broke up with him. He was also wrong. Arianna wasn't going to leave. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to clean, but, now, he wasn't in the mood to do it. He wanted to look up to see where Arianna was, but he didn't want to see the world around him. The world that screwed him over so many times that he had a right to be pissed off at the damn place.
"Sepia's going to keep Elysia for a couple more days," the teen's voice spoke softly as he felt her weight add on to the couch cushion, "I told her that your apartment would take longer with our arguing."
"Thanks Arianna," Roy let his hands fall and he looked at the smiling girl next to him.
Roy and Arianna had grown fonder of each other since that day a couple years ago in Central. Roy was actually in love with the girl, but not like he was with Riza. Roy saw Arianna's side that she was punished for all those years ago. She was sweet, caring, and merciful. Plus, she and he shared a love of Alchemy, a bind stronger than most.
"Everything will be fine, Roy," she smiled softly. "There are people out there who you'll love more than Riza, and they'll love you back...I know..."
"How?" he asked.
"Hentori, my older brother like figure," she sighed.
"What does he have to do with anything?" Roy asked, he knew she wasn't supposed to be talking to him.
"He came to visit me," she said shrugging. "Well, we weren't just like brother and sister, we were lovers. Well, when Maes took me. We sort of...well...broke up. Well, he came to town to see me and on his arm was this girl. She was one of my close friends. Her name was Alchemy. She's so beautiful. Her hair is the yellow of the wheat and eyes as green as lush grass. If Sepia's body is nice, than Alchemy is perfect. I almost started to cry. They were only in town to be wedded, well, look for a place at least."
"I'm sorry, Ari," Roy wrapped his arms around the girl and held her.
"Uh...Roy...are you feeling okay?" she just kind of sat there while he embraced her.
"Uh...yeah..." Roy let go the girl and looked away.
Roy was getting the feeling back. The feeling that made Maes stay away til his death. Gracia, on that day, kept Arianna in the shadows. Why? Roy had admitted to them that he was in love with their daughter. He did love her. He honestly did. To him, there was no person better at heart. Riza was his long time crush and he got her, but she turned out to be the farthest away from what he expected. It was odd to him, though. The girl he wanted wasn't what he wanted, but the girl sitting in front of him seemed to be all that he could want.
He was going to say something to Arianna. Something nice like, "What's for breakfast?" or "How's the weather?", but he didn't get that chance. The second he turned his head, he felt a pair of lips hit his. He was kind of in shock that the sixteen-year-old was kissing him, but he wasn't denying it. He closed his eyes and joined in to the kiss. But then...something crossed the poor man's mind: Pedophilia.
Roy wanted to pull away, but the girl put her hand on his neck, pulling him in. Roy, having no control, wrapped his arms around her waist. Her felt her hand go through his hair. He, then, felt her tongue on his lips. He gladly parted his lips to feel the girl's tongue collide with his. He, then, broke the kiss and looked to her.
"Arianna...What was that..." he asked.
"Honestly, Roy...I don't know," She sighed, "but I really wish I did..."
"Well...that was kiss, " Roy analyzed, "a very good and passionate kiss."
"I like it..."Arianna stated shyly, "did you?"
"Yeah, I like it! I loved it," He stared at the sixteen-year-old, shocked.
The mid-twenties man looked at the mid-teens girl on his bed. That lustful feeling filled him again. The way her blond hair flowed over her shoulders. That playful look in her eyes. Those curvy curves of her young, sexy body. The smirk on those luscious lips. All that was laying on his bed. He wanted it all. He wanted it to ride him all night long. He wanted his fantasies to come true right now.
"Roy..." she whispered sexily.
"Sepentcia..." He mutter.
Roy Mustang rushed over to the bed and took the girl's lips in his, hungrily. He couldn't wait any longer. Sepia Noramegi wanted it all just as bad as he did. He could tell by the way the girl wrapped her legs around him. He could feel her ankles lock behind him as he leaned closer to the girl while pushing her back on the bed. He had to have her now.
Roy and Arianna spent the rest of the day cleaning. Every second was cleaning. They took a half hour for lunch, and another half hour to make out, and then went back to cleaning. They started the cleaning at around Nine AM and didn't get decently finished till Six. The two were exhausted!
Arianna and Roy plopped down on the couch. Roy brought Arianna on his lap and smiled at her as he placed a soft kiss on her lips. She smiled as she kissed him back. He couldn't imagine being with Riza at the moment. He could only see Arianna.
That's the way it had been since he had admitted all that to Maes and Gracia. He only dreamt of Arianna. Anything between them was illegal, but keeping it secret is even more exciting. He loved that illegal relationship thing. He wished it would have worked between him and Arianna without being arrested.
