CHAPTER 12 – It's Back to the Office

A surprise indeed was beyond Riza Hawkeye's front door. Absent-mindedly, Roy tugged the door open. There, staring back at him was a dark haired man. His glasses had fallen to the tip of his nose when he saw Roy. In truth they looked a bit big for him but he wore them anyway. The man pushed his glasses up to the bridge of his nose and quickly saluted Roy.

"Good morning, Sir!" The man shouted.

Roy just stood there in shock. He couldn't think he couldn't speak. He couldn't show any sign of life as the man in front of him waved a hand in front of his superior's face.

"Sir? Are you feeling al-" The man began. He didn't have time to finish his sentence for Roy had drug him into the room, slamming the door behind him.

"Sir!" The man that had been dragged in screamed. He was suddenly dumped on the couch in the living room. Walking away from the man, Roy knocked on the door of the bathroom.

"What?" The spiky haired man heard a woman's voice from behind the door. Riza Hawkeye's voice.

"Someone's here to see you." Roy replied. Movement in the bathroom ceased.

"W-who exactly?" she fumbled.

"You'll see…" Roy replied as he took another look at him.

Footsteps could be heard in the room behind the door in which Roy stood. Roy was stunned. He couldn't think properly. What had I done to deserve this? Why did he have to come? Now I'll lose my job but not to mention Riza will too…

Roy was woken from his thoughts when the door opened. Out stepped Riza Hawkeye. She was dressed in her pajamas. She almost dropped her towel when she saw who it was.

"F-Fuery?" she stuttered.

"I-I only came over to take Hayate for a walk… but then…" He could finish his sentence. Riza was speechless.

"You won't tell anyone will you?" Roy broke the growing silence. Fuery shook his head.

"No I won't sir." Then Fuery smiled. "It finally happened. Just like Hughes said it would." Both Riza and Roy looked at Fuery questionably.

"You, Roy, know what I'm talking about. I promise I won't tell anyone, especially Hughes. I'll just grab Hayate and go." Fuery told the silent couple. He whistled and a black ball of fur shot from the bedroom to the living room in record time. Fuery had stood when he whistled and headed to the dresser where Black Hayate's leash was left on the surface. Shutting the door behind him, Fuery sighed,

I just had to see that didn't I?

Sighing once again, Fuery along with Hayate started down the street towards the office where his co-workers were awaiting his return.

When Fuery closed the door behind him neither of us moved. Suddenly, Riza zombie-like walked to her room. Unconsciously, Roy followed. Riza walked up to her dresser, which had a mirror in front of it. Roy snaked his arms around Riza's waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"What are we gonna do Roy?" Riza asked. His name off her tongue always got to him, sending a shiver up his spine. Roy was silent for sometime. In the end he said,

"I dunno Riza," Kissing her forehead, "We'll find away."

Leaving her to dress he went to take a shower, not before he ask for permission of course. As he combed his hair from his eyes as the water plastered them to his head he thought of Riza's question deeper.

What would we do if anyone other than Fuery found out? We would both loose our jobs. Not to mention I might loose Riza…

Roy pondered this fearfully. He didn't want to lose Riza. Not after he had just won her heart.

Stepping out of the shower and grabbing a towel from underneath the sink, Roy shook his head of the horrible option. He wasn't going to lose Riza. He… couldn't.

He strolled out of the bathroom without thinking and ran right into Riza who was walking absent-mindedly by. The collision almost made Roy loose his towel around his waist but was caught automatically by his reflexes. Riza blushed slightly.

"Sorry…" Roy began. Riza shook her head.

"It was my fault… I found your uniform in my closet, you can go get dressed now." Riza didn't look him in the eyes. He tilted her head up with his index and middles fingers. He dipped his head, lowering his lips onto hers.

"Thanks…" Roy whispered with a smile in his voice. He made a dotted line to 'X', which of course, was Riza's bedroom. Seeing the uniform neatly lay on the tidily made bed Roy smirked. Nothing got passed Riza. Unwillingly, Roy pulled on his pants over his boxers and tightened the belt around his waist. He walked out of Riza's room to claim his t-shirt that he had forgotten in the bathroom.

In reaching the bathroom he found its light on and the woman whom he had 'slept' with brushing her teeth. She bent down to spit out to paste from her mouth when she righted herself two arms wrapped around her waist. Looking in the mirror she saw it was Roy. He kissed her neck delicately, which made Riza wriggle in his grasp. Roy smiled against her neck.

"I believe that," Riza pointed to the white blob on the counter, "is yours."

"What'd ya know, it is isn't it?" Roy played along. Unclasping his arms from her body, he picked up the piece of clothing and threw it over his head. Kissing Riza's head before he left, Roy went back to her room and grabbed his jacket.

Back in the bathroom Riza sighed as she spit out another glob of saliva and toothpaste and watched it go down the drain bored. Riza brushed her long blonde hair out and pinned it to the back of her head. Then she caught sight of Roy once again in the mirror. A smirk had been placed on his face.

"Can I ask you a question?" Riza didn't like where this was going.

"You already did." Riza replied sarcastically buying time. Roy looked at her with a knowing look.

"You now what I mean…"

"I do?" Riza asked with a smile. Roy shot her another look, "Yes."

"What were you doing with an extra uniform of mine?" Riza could only blush into the mirror as he watched her. A smirkish grin appeared seeing her blush. Roy spun Riza around so now she looked straight at him.

"I was only meaning it in a joking way ya know." Roy told her. Riza smiled weakly in return. Then as if on some sort of timer her moody changed abruptly.

"Come on sir. We've got to get to work." Riza dragged him out of her house, locking the door behind her.
