CHAPTER 19 – A Sleep Over
Hearing Maes from the other room noted Roy that his best friend had arrived. Only half-wondering why he was here, Roy made his way out of his office and into the unit area. There he found Fuery, Havoc, Falman and Breada all crowed around a desk with a piece of paper in the middle. Hughes was now bounding up to Roy waving his picture around for emphasis on how adorable she was.
By the time Roy made it over to his subordinates, the mystery paper had disappeared. Roy shook his head to forget about it.
All the while Maes had been jumping up and down beside him gush about his daughter.
"Maes! Hush up already!" Roy exploded. Huffing he stomped over to his office door and turned around.
"What are you all looking at! Get back to work!" Roy shouted at them as he saw they were staring at him, "Especially you Maes, haven't you better be getting back to your desk?" Roy asked a bit calmer.
There was a long silence to which Roy answered by returning to his desk annoyance.
---
Riza's attention was caught when her Colonel got up from his seat and made his way to the door. Behind the office door she heard whispers before she clearly caught Roy's best friend, Maes Hughes shouting loudly enough to wake the dead about his daughter.
Even Riza Hawkeye, the military's emotionless, sniper had to agree Maes' daughter was sweet but hearing about her almost 24/7 was a bit over the edge, if not falling. In any case, Riza was used to Hughes' disturbances, they occurred almost daily. She really didn't mind the man but when he got in that right kind of mind it made Riza a little edge; a wanting to reach for her weapon and release her fury upon him. Knowing that it would be against the military code to assault a superior officer, Riza resisted the urge.
Finally Roy returned to the room, not exactly in the best of moods. Riza watched him out of the corner of her eye. He sat down breathing heavily muttering under his breath about how stupid Hughes was or something. She returned her attention to her work.
---
When Roy plopped down in his seat he started grumbling about how annoying his best friend could be even if he didn't exactly on purpose. Sighing he looked over at Riza and reluctantly picked up his pen.
Scribbling his name over the pieces of parchment he kept glancing over at Riza. He couldn't get her out of his head. For once in his life, Roy Mustang did something he thought he would never, ever do; he actually paid attention to his work.
Zipping through it all, Roy had cleared his desk of any unsigned reports. Riza stood in front of his desk almost gawking, almost.
"Done already?" Riza asks trying not to sound surprised.
"Yup just got finished." He hesitates for a moment before asking, "Hey Riza? Do you mind if I walk you home tonight?"
Riza turns to look at him. She smiles; her smile is that of an angel's, heavenly and sweet.
"Of course Roy you can." She then walks out of the room, but is replaced by Fuery.
"What are you doing in here?" Roy asks Fuery skeptically.
"I've come to get Black Hayate's stuff. He's coming home with me tonight, Riza asked me." He replies.
"Oh." Roy says feeling stupid.
-&-&-&-
It's now 18:21 and Riza still hasn't come back. She left only minutes ago, but to Roy it felt like she's been gone for a hundred years. Roy sits at his desk bored as usual when he remembers the letter he wrote Riza only a week ago.
He was about to reach into the top draw for it but just that instant Riza decided to walk in through the door. Withdrawing his hand he stood up from his chair.
"Ready to go?" He asks.
"Yes, let me grab my coat."
----
The two military dogs walk out off the base and onto Central streets. The sky is black now. It looks as if it's going to rain some time soon. Walking fairly quickly as to avoid the up coming storm Riza pulls Roy along. The silence is nice.
Rounding the corner Riza feels a bit awkward. She didn't know what was causing the discomfort; she could only tell you that she felt uneasy. Forcing the thought from her mind, Riza realized Roy's arm had slipped around her waist. This simply gesture made Riza nearly blush but she sensed a feeling of security. She leaned her head on his shoulder as they continued walking down the road.
Suddenly Riza felt a drop fall onto her nose. Tilting her head up towards the sky she felt rain fall onto her face. She looked around for shelter. Then Riza realized something. They were still quite far from her house. Roy must have being thinking the same thing.
"We can go to my house, it's just around the block."
Stealthily, they moved through the pouring rain. Roy pulled Riza down the sidewalk and up a set of stairs. Finding herself on a covered porch she watched as Roy fumbled with his keys. Finding the right key he shakily tried to insert the key. Riza shook her head slightly at his clumsiness. Her hands grasped his and smoothly helped them open the door. He looked over at her and gave her a slight nod in thanks and pushed the door open.
Riza followed Roy into his house. While Roy took off her jacket, Riza looked around the room. It was messy. To be expected from someone as unorganized as Roy. Riza thought. Papers littered the floor; not so much as to bury the floor just a few large piles here and there. She bent down, untying her shoes she stepped out of the issued military boots.
Padding softly she made her way down a hall following Roy. The kitchen now was way cleaner than the living room.
"You can go into the bathroom and clean off while I'll go find something for you to wear." He nodded to the door on our right. I watched him tread down further veering into the room at the end of the hall.
---
Roy felt her eyes watching him as he strolled away from her and to his bedroom. With a backward glance he entered his bedroom. Going through dresser he looked for something suitable for Riza to wear while her uniform dried. He found a nice T-shirt but when he looked at the length he saw it was too short. Throwing the clothing over his head he searched once again. This time his findings produced a nice collar shirt. It was pale blue and the length was long enough to Roy. He decided it was best.
When he went hunting through his pants drawer he figured Riza wouldn't be able to wear any of them. He didn't have anything smaller. Taking the shirt with him, Roy went to the bathroom door where his Riza was now undressing behind. Before he knocked, Roy's thoughts went to the gutter.
I wonder how she looks right now. How her creamy skin feels. How her skin tastes. I just want to-
Roy literally smacked himself, get your head out of the toilet! You know it doesn't belong there nor do your thoughts! Knock on the bathroom door and giver her the shirt already!
Yeah and see what she looks like. Drawled a voice in the back of his mind.
No, no, no! Just give her the damn shirt and don't think of anything else! Just because-
"All right already!" Roy shouted aloud.
"Roy are you all right?" He heard Riza's voice come from behind the door. Roy coughed.
"Yeah I'm okay. I brought you a shirt." She opened the door a smidgen. Even thought it was only a bit, Roy saw something that overloaded his mind for a brief second. That little bit of skin just to the side of her breast. Shaking his head he showed her the shirt in which she took and immediately shut the door.
Chuckling slightly he made his way back to his room.
---
When she shut the door on Roy's face Riza wanted to laugh so hard. His expression was nearly priceless. She had shown her skin on purpose just to make him crazy. And guess what, it worked. Riza snickered to herself.
She unbuttoned the shirt and slipped it on. After buttoning it up she studied herself in the mirror. The length was good, coming down to a little over seven inches from her knee cap, but not great. She had already figured that she wouldn't be able to wear any of his pants so she would have to stand not wearing any tonight.
Riza threw her uniform over the shower curtain along with her under garments, hoping Roy wouldn't mess with them. Knowing Roy was a womanizer she wouldn't be surprised if he did.
When she walked out of the bathroom and into his bedroom she saw he was already in bed curled up under the covers. His back was towards her so he didn't see her as she tiptoed into the room. As soon as Riza was a mere five steps away from the bedside Roy turned to her.
---
Seeing Riza like this was driving Roy insane. The way the light from outside lit her skin, especially the skin on her legs made Roy want to pull her into bed right then and there and kiss her till she squealed. He barely kept his control when he saw the measure of his shirt on her not to mention the thought of know the she was in his shirt.
Another second like that and he couldn't take it anymore. He tugged her onto the bed wrapping his arms and the sheets about her. He kissed and sucked on her neck as she giggled from beside him.
"Couldn't take it any longer could you?" She whispered to him. Roy couldn't say anything; he solely shook his head in response. Riza smiled and ruffled his hair with her hand. Roy went back to burrowing his nose into her neck. She giggled.
"What are you giggling for?" Roy asked. He wasn't going to be made fun of for something like this.
"Oh nothing just something I was thinking of." Riza replied.
"And what was that?" Roy asked another question.
"How much do you want to know?" Riza retorted.
With that Roy seized her lips. At first his kisses were a bit rough but then they became gentler until they were sheer caresses of the lips against hers. He put wanting, needing and loving into each one of those kisses as his hands roamed to her waist; running his hands over her cloth covered body. Her chest pushing up against his. Then suddenly he broke it.
"Does that answer your question?" Roy panted. Riza smiled.
"Yes." There was a pause before Riza continued her breath no longer heavy.
"I was just thinking of Hayate," Roy frowned at this, "he's having a sleep over, just like us." She was searching his eyes.
"Yes, yes he is, just ours is a little different." Roy added. Roy kissed her forehead as he snuggled closer to her relatively cold body.
Rizahawkeye21A/N: Hey everyone! Thanks for the reviews from last chapter. I'm glad all of you thought it wasn't too revealing. This chapter I decided to make extra long just so I could put in that Black Hayate was having a sleep over and to of course make you, the readers happy. In addition to making this chapter extra long I also stayed up a little late to finish it. I hope u all like it! I also wanted to ask if there was anything you'd like to see happen in this fic. As well as any predictions on how or what will happen next. I'll update again sometime this coming weekend. Until then.
