Another Office Day
"Ugh…" I groaned as I slumped in my chair. It was only 1000 hours and I was already exhausted. My hand felt cramped and my head ached with mind crushing pain. I slumped further in my chair and sighed.
"Is there something wrong sir?" I heard a voice from across the room.
"No Lieutenant." I answered automatically. She gave me her quizzical look and returned to her work. I had straightened up when she called me so I returned to my sunken posture.
I tapped my black ballpoint pen on my desk, the sound radiating throughout the room one tap after the next. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Hawkeye looking at me. Her glance showed that she was irritated at me. I continued my music making until she stood up and strode over to my desk stopping mere inches in front. I looked at her with a fake smile.
"Yes Lieutenant?" I asked dumbly.
"You make take a break from your paperwork-" I cut her off as I jumped out of my seat bolting for the door. "If you don't come back in ten minutes I'm going to hunt you down," she called after me, "and this time you may come back with lead in your head!" She added. I didn't glance back just waved my hand behind me to show her I knew.
I strolled outside and went for a walk around the campus. It was amazingly huge. I hadn't noticed that before. The sight of blooming pink flowers surrounded the path I walked. It was very beautiful. When I looked down at my watch I gasped. I hadn't really been paying attention to the time, I was too happy to get out of the work filled room.
I dashed from my spot in the trees and in the double doors that marked the building I worked in. I raced to my floor jumping up the stairs nearly three at a time. I burst through the door making a racket. The blonde haired lieutenant did bother to look up. She knew it was me. I plopped down in my chair, slightly out of breath. I faced the clock to find it was barely thirty seconds after 10:10.
Unwillingly I picked up my pen again. This time I looked over at the lieutenant. To my surprise she was already before me.
"Yes lieutenant?" I asked for the second time that day. She just stared me in the eyes. I could've sworn I saw her lean in towards me, but she hesitated. Then noticeably she lowered her lips to mine and whispered,
"Nothing, sir." Unexpectedly she pulled back and returned to her chair. I felt my cheeks burning. I could feel the heat coming from them. I quickly tried to hide my embarrassment but failed to do so. Tilting my head down I thought silently in my head about the contact with Hawkeye.
I can't believe this! The infamous Roy Mustang blushing, no melting, at contact with Riza Hawkeye! I mean its just absurd! I have to admit she is beautiful though… AH! What am I thinking! This is just messed up. Pull yourself together Roy! Get going on your work, you know what'll happen if you don't.
I gulped. I knew fully well what would happen. I briskly scribbled my signature on the documents on my desk. Eventually my blush wore away and before I knew it the workday had ended. Without saying a word I stood, a bit wobbly from not standing for a couple of hours.
Trudging to the door I heard a voice call my name, "Sir?" I turned around slightly. There, nearly four feet away from me she leaned against her desk slightly.
"Sir, I… uh…" I looked at her awkwardly. What was she trying to tell me? "I… er…" She stuttered. I closed the four feet between us.
"What?" I asked kindly. I knew Riza couldn't speak. Just the look on her face told me everything. I leaned in to her lips. Trailing my lips over her cheek to her ear I murmured,
"Would you like me to walk you home?" Riza nodded hesitantly. Picking up her coat and slinging it around her shoulders I prodded her out the door.
We walked in silence. Her face was trying register what was happening. I held her waist as we walked so, as she didn't run into anything or anyone. She didn't seem bothered by my touch. I was surprised.
When the steps of her apartment were climbed and we stood facing each other in front of the door, she spoke,
"Thank you sir for walking me home." Her eyes shone as the last of the sun's rays fell beyond the horizon.
"Your welcome." I replied. I turned to descend the stairs but was stopped by a touch on my hand. I was yanked around with surprising force. Then her mesmerizing honey eyes were the only things I could see. I paused a few seconds taking in deep breaths. Then I felt something twang in my heart.
Oh what I remember to this day makes me swell with emotion. Unaware of what my body was making me do, I leaned into her. I snaked my arms around her waist bringing her closer to me. Then, as some people might have put it, I went in for 'the kill'. The taste of her lips, the inside of her mouth, every movement she made was burnt into my memory.
Pulling down on my neck I slid my tongue into her mouth. She didn't pull back but rather fought for control. Something's happened that shouldn't have happened I know. But that kiss was real. I can still feel the pressure of hers against mine. That day to me wouldn't be just another day at the office, it would be the day at the office.
Rizahawkeye21A/N: To apologize before someone already says anything I'm sorry for Riza being so out of character. This line just popped into my head and I let me fingers do the typing. Anyway I hope you like it despite the one thing. Please review!
