CHAPTER 17 – Shower Time
The sun poked through the blinds and its light spread onto a head of golden hair. Stroking the 'sunshine' hair was a soft-faced man with black eyes and ebony hair. The man sighed lightly. He would give anything in the world to lie here with his love.
It was now Thursday. Just today and tomorrow until Saturday. Then the weekend is here. Roy had something special planned in his head. He hoped Riza would like his surprise for her.
Reluctantly, Roy crawled out of bed and into the shower. Of course not without taking his clothes off and raking his fingers through his matted hair. Leaning his weight on his hands, which rested on the counter, he glanced at the mirror. What Roy saw was this. Unruly black tangled hair, half-lidded eyes, which shielded black holes. In addition, his skin was a bit pale. On an optimist's side, his abnormally pale skin covered his nicely sculpted muscles. By relying on the counter to support him, you could see that he was one to work out once in a while. Roy's body was definitely NO where near Armstrong's muscles. Roy wasn't that dedicated to building muscles. He didn't need to.
Groggily stepping in the shower, Roy had waited for the water to warm up. Finally the water got to the point where Roy liked it, scalding hot. The water came down on his back in pelts, massaging his back. Roy stood there for what seemed like forever just feeling the hot flow running over his flesh.
At that moment there was a knock on the door and a voice called from somewhere in the bathroom, which vibrated off the walls of the small room.
"Roy! Did you drown? You've been in here forever almost!" a young woman's voice rang out. Roy pulled the curtain of the shower back a bit so only a part of his bare skinned chest and head showed to the other side. A blonde haired woman stood at the door of the bathroom with her hands on her hips and a smile. She was wearing a large T-shirt that he had given her the night before.
Roy smiled back.
"So? What's your point?" He asked.
"Oh nothing, just the fact that today is Thursday and it's a work day. What would everyone else think if not only we appeared at work together but also we were both late? You know I'm never late to work!" She returned with a fake shrill. Roy only shook his head.
"Again your point Riza?" Roy asked. He loved to play these games with her, not to be mean and make fun of her, just to tease her friendly. Riza sighed and gave him a knowing look.
"Roy, please take me seriously. If I don't get to work soon people will get suspicious. Especially since the past three days we've come into the building at exactly the same time! I need to take a shower in other words." Riza finished her little speech.
"Then jump in." Roy smiled suggestively. Riza only flushed slightly.
"Right I'm gonna-" but she was cut off by Roy who had shot an arm out from behind the curtain and was now currently dragging her in still fully clothed.
"ROY!" Riza screamed. Roy only laughed at her struggle. Somehow she had found a way out of the direct hit of the water. Now Roy saw her and merely tried to not laugh any harder if it were possible.
Riza's hair was plastered to her head, which in itself was funny. Unfortunately for Riza the color of the shirt was white. Fortunately for Roy her shirt was white, which meant the shirt was see through. Riza yelped trying to cover herself from Roy's sight. Roy only chuckled lightly and pulled her into him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head down towards hers. Straying off to the right where his mouth found her right ear.
"Don't worry. I won't look… not if you want me to…" Roy added the last bit. Riza slapped his arm playfully.
"Roy… I mean it, I need a shower… alone." Roy stuck out his lip at the end.
"Roy, don't give me that. Just because I'm your girlfriend doesn't mean I'm not still me."
Again Roy just stuck his lip out and gave her his best puppy eyes. He knew she couldn't resist them. No woman could, just this time Roy tried harder than ever to when her decision over. This is the Riza Hawkeye.

Riza stood there in the shower with her superior officer pleading for her to let him take a shower with her. In her head Riza was laughing up a storm.
He was in here first; he has a right to be in here. Another thing, he could just order me to let him take a shower with me. He's trying so hard to win me over… I guess I'll give into him this once; he's just so hot standing there with water running over his skin…
"All right but if I'm late to work I'm gonna give you a piece of my mind." Riza gave in.
In a split second Roy's face brightened up. Cautiously, his hands made their way down to the hem of the white, now see-through, shirt she was wearing. Riza didn't make any gestures to stop his actions; instead she moved her hands on top of his. Slowly she pulled his hands up her body. Delicately, she drew his fingers from her thighs to her hips and up the side of her stomach. Becoming a bit uncomfortable while his palms trailed around the sides of her breasts, Riza lured his fingers to her collarbone.
---
Roy took control from there. Gently, he ran his knuckles over her collarbone and up her neck. Passing her jaw line and her ears, Roy finally pulled the troublesome shirt of her body. He dropped it just outside the shower curtain on the tiled floor.
Roy leaned down, his lips brushing Riza's. He sucked in a breath as hers caught in her throat. Breathing heavily noticeably, Roy looked up into Riza's golden brown eyes.
"You are beautiful. Did you know that?" Roy whispered to her as their foreheads met and noses bumped together.
She was in fact beautiful. The way her body curved into his made Roy think she was the missing puzzle piece to his life. This is what he was missing in his life. The person to stand behind, or the woman to do so. Roy pulled Riza in close to his body. Her hands were placed softly on his slippery bare chest and she leaned into him. Roy's cheek grazed Riza's now soaked-to-the-bone hair. Grabbing the shampoo on the ledge of the shower wall, he poured a generous amount into his hand and began massaging her scalp and hair.
Although the shampoo was a bit manly, he didn't think Riza would mind. Roy washed the soapy mess off her head carefully to not get the suds in her eyes.
While he was washing her hair, Riza was doing the same to him. Scrubbing his head as best she could, the two traded places so that Roy was under that waterspout. While Roy washed out the bubbles, Riza rubbed her body down with the soap behind Roy.
Getting the soap was an interesting situation. Riza had unintentionally put her hand on Roy's lower stomach as her left bosom pushed up against his skin near her hand. That had surprised Roy a bit. She laughed when he freaked out.
He's such a dork when he's like this.
Riza couldn't stop laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" With that he withdrew his hands from his long-haired mass on top of his head to her hips where he ran them down from to top to the beginning of her thigh. Riza wriggled a bit under his touch. That only made Roy smirk in his cute seductive way.
"Ok I'm not laughing anymore!" Riza yelped the last word as Roy's hand slid towards her bum.
--- (LATER)
Roy let Riza step out of the shower first. Following her grabbed a towel from the rack on the wall and held it out to Riza while she stood there shivering. She walked into the towel, which Roy clasped around her as he drew her into a feather light kiss.
(As you know, you can't just have one : ))
Riza deepened the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer, if possible, to her. Not wanting to let go Roy wound his around her towel-clothed waist. Riza could feel Roy shake in their embrace. Breaking apart she reached for another towel which she gave to Roy who coiled it lowly on his waist.
