CHAPTER 2 : Evening Kiss

Riza had come back with a bowl of soup and a cup of coffee. Roy thanked her and reluctantly returned to the task ahead. It was amazing at how much paperwork he had throughout that day.

To cheer him up, somewhat, the coffee was actually pretty good. He knew from his co-workers that Riza made excellent coffee. He had never tried anything she had ever made until now. The drink turned out really good; he noticed how creamy it was. It washed over his tongue in a wave of goodness.

Roy came to attention when he saw that Riza was looking at him funny. He put the cup down and buried his head deep into his paperwork, pretending to be doing it.

After coming back with the colonel's lunch, Riza sat at her desk racing through her office work. She wanted to go home. She was worn out from the amount of work that the colonel had received only that morning.

Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes had welcomed her this morning with his goofy grin. They talked, ok more like he rambled on about how cute his daughter was. Riza had to admit that she was pretty cute but seeing as he ranted and raved on and on she felt like taking a gun to his head.

Finally after what seemed like ages, Hughes decided to go back to his office to get the day started. Before he left she heard him say something about Roy having some sort of nightmares. Before she could ask him about it Hughes bounded out the door on his merry way.
About ten or fifteen minutes later Riza heard the door in the other room burst open. The sound of shoes couldn't be heard though she knew who it was. When the person shoved the door open, Riza hadn't the need to look up to know who it was.

She could sense the colonel tense up as he thought she was going to blow his brains out. She let him off only because he was going to suffer more pain. Earlier that morning many, many boxes had arrived for him filled to the brim with paperwork. The delivery person mumbled something about being behind on his rounds.

Riza watched as Roy's jaw dropped. She could only imagine him staring around his desk at the mounds of work there was to do. Ignoring her superior's sighs she went on rushing through her work. Roy tried to get up sometime later. She had given him the quietness he needed but she knew that the soundlessness was only eating away at him. She had to put her hand on her gun at her waist just to make him return to his seat.

Almost an hour or two after that, Fury had stuck his head through the door. Riza inaudibly sighed. After Fury had come and gone Roy got up yet again, this time to go to lunch. She knew if she let him go he wouldn't return. Even though she had taken a lot of his paperwork there was plenty left to do. She had to stop him.

Minutes later he sat back at his desk. Riza scribbled some words on a report. She had just told him that she was gonna have to stay after with him when he got this dopey smile on his face. That same smirk he got when he was thinking of something… inappropriate. To wake him from his little daydream she shot three warning bullets right behind his head. This definitely woke him sending him into a small state of shock.

Riza asked him to stop thinking such thoughts and get back to writing while she went to get him some food. She waited until Roy plopped back down in his chair before retrieving his lunch.

Bringing back a bowl of his favorite soup and some coffee that she had personally made, Riza returned to her desk. She knew she had never served him any of her hand made coffee and she hoped he liked it. No emotion showed on his face as he took the first sip. Watching and waiting, Riza lingered her gaze patiently for him to say or do something. She watched his face go from stern and grumpy to soft and relaxed. His expression changed as he that she was staring at him awkwardly for he immediately put the cup down and put his head down close to his desk.

It was now around seven o'clock. He was exhausted and just wanted to go home. Unfortunately he still had a few more papers to attend to. Riza had, like she said she would, stayed behind.
Roy rubbed his eyes tiredly. He let his mind wander through his head poking in different subjects until he found one that interested him. An image of a burning city and the voice of someone familiar calling out his name seemed to encase his thoughts. He wanted to call out but he couldn't, pain erupted throughout his body leaving him gasping each time for breath. All Roy could do was lie there and wait for the female voice calling him to reach him. He heard shuffling footsteps near by and wanted to scream at the person to save him. The footsteps had seemed to stop. Then he heard a gasp. The person collapsed at his side. He never saw her face for some weird reason. Her face, when able to be seen, was always blurry. The female stumbled through the debris as she carried him away from the sight.
Roy then felt his body being shaken. His eyes opened to Riza; her face was so close to his he felt as if their noses were touching. Her deep chocolate eyes showed the emotion of… wait… is that concern? Riza Hawkeye was never showed much emotion. Is that where it all went? All her emotion went to her heavenly mahogany eyes? Roy couldn't rip his eyes off hers not even if the world was coming to an end. If the world were ending at least he would be able to see something so incredible before his life ended.

His black orbs pierced hers; Riza felt like he was probing her mind the way his expression was set upon his face. Soft and gentle his face looked, or maybe it was just the lighting, but whatever it was, a feeling arose from somewhere deep within her heart. She felt awkward staring at him for so long but she couldn't look away.

Roy lifted his head off the desk from where it had been lying the whole time. He searched her chestnut eyes, wanting something from her… was it love?

Riza trembled where she stood. She could no longer keep her gaze and looked away. She turned, heading back to her desk with her head down looking at the blue-gray carpet. A hand grabbed her wrist. She froze; her head popped up. He twisted her around so now she was looking directly at him.

"Don't leave me." Roy whispered to her hair as he pulled her into him. Riza leaned against him ridged, inhaling and exhaling laboriously. Roy pulled away from her body placing his hands on her waist. Their noses met once again, this time Roy didn't let the moment pass. He tilted his head ever so slightly and closed the gap between their lips.

Roy delicately bit Riza's bottom lip in an affectionate way. Their tongues found each other exploring the mouth of the other. Just when Roy was about to do something drastic, Riza pulled away. She couldn't do this. She was in a military office at Headquarters for crying out loud!

Riza tried to escape Roy's grasp but he wouldn't, couldn't let her go. Shivers ran down her back as he held her close.
