CHAPTER 6 – Sunlight Splotches
Chasing after Riza was harder than he thought. Plus she had gotten a head start for her outburst didn't register in his mind. Looking behind every tree he would yell every thirty seconds or so,
"Come out! Come out! Where ever you are!"
A series of giggles would erupt from somewhere ahead. Roy leaped from behind a tree only to find no one there. In the corner of his eye though he caught a glimpse of a fluttering whiteness. Dashing after the sight he fought his way through the trees ducking under low branches that threatened to claw at him.
Roy hung a sharp right finding Riza running on the other side of the trees. He crossed the tree barrier, sprinting behind Riza. Unexpectedly, Riza tripped over a large tree root. Luckily for her, Roy was only a few paces behind her as she stumbled. Roy caught her just as she was about a foot away from smacking her face into the ground.
Holding her by her wrists so she couldn't get away from him he gently pulled her into him. He nuzzled his nose into the side of Riza's neck making her tremble slightly.
Riza didn't know what it was. But just the slightest touch and she would tremble underneath his grasp. She couldn't control the movement; it came unexpectedly. His nestling only made her tremble further. He stopped to look at her with a concerned look.
"I'm all right." She reassured him. Roy only stared at her with his jet black eyes. They sat underneath an apple tree to catch their breath. Sitting side by side, Riza cradled in Roy's arms. Hayate then showed up lying in between them. They patted his head as he curled up next to them.
Both Riza and Roy felt complete beneath the tree whose branches blocked out much of the sun. Little splotches of sunlight wove themselves among the gnarled limbs, settling upon their skin. Riza raised her hand turning it over and over making snake movements in mid air. She watched as the spots appeared and disappeared as her hand swung from side to side.
"Isn't it odd how the sunlight shows up on everything?" Riza stated aloud. Roy caught her hand bringing it behind her shoulder to kiss it.
"Now that you mention it yeah it is kinda weird. I've never thought of it much." He replied.
As much as they didn't want to leave, Roy and Riza along with Black Hayate trudged out of the park passing by a young girl being chased by a boy about her age. Roy and Riza began to laugh at the two kids. Once they arrived at Riza's door Roy led her in making her a lunch.
Shortly after a meal of sandwiches and chips Roy stood to leave. Grabbing his coat he bid her farewell with a quick kiss on the cheek. When he looked back to her door while he was on the sidewalk in front of her house, it was shut. His smile faltered but perked up when he saw her waving through the window. He waved back happily and trekked to his apartment alone.
