Chapter 4: Rumors in HQ
Not really thinking in the consequences they both got to HQ at the same time.
When they got there everyone who saw them was murmuring to the one next to him.
"What the-"
"Maes" she interrupted with a killing site.
"What?" he answered he surely wasn't paying any attention.
"You didnt hear me, sir. Remember?"she had stopped and turned to see him.
"Hear what? He answered with a lost gaze. She just looked at him with a what-were-you-doing? Face. And Sighed.
"I was telling you that he spied on us, Sir"
"Spy who?"
"Maes Sir, He went to my house, who knows why and found us sleeping, remember, Sir" He looked like if his memory got to much info at the same time. Her face was turning a slight shade of red almost unreadable, but at the distance they were, for Roy it really looked like a blush. The blush began when she started thinking of how to tell Roy what happened that morning, and last night. She paid no attention to the heat she felt in her face but certainly knew it was a blush.
"Sir…do you remember last night?" she asked. Doubting he will by the look on his face. But hoping for him to do so.
"Ohhhh… that" He said as his face illuminated for his victory over his own mind.
She breathed out in relief but very discretely so he wouldn't notice she was worried.
"What's up with that?" He asked. It seemed he really didn't remember the relevant part, or he just saw it as a normal act.
"Oh god when will you understand, Sir? Maes thinks I slept with you last night, got it" He stared in astonishment. As she looked around as everyone kept staring at them. The last phrase Riza said sounded a bit loud, let's say too much, since the people around heard it. They all forgot about it as they noticed who they would have to deal with if something went out of place.
"Don't worry Lieutenant... Ill take care of it." He said.
And he kept walking looking for Maes. She wouldn't let him have all the fun for himself will she?
Well she would just make sure he made nothing stupid, as always.
Roy walked through the empty halls since Hughes department opened later there was no one in them only... him.
"Maes!" He yelled.
As he looked to his sides looking for his friend, even though he kept his hands in his pockets ready too snap.
"Yes you love bird" a voice said from around the corner.
The colonel kept walking; when he saw a pair off glasses and his frisky face he quickened his pace. Maes didn't seem to know Roy wanted too kill him since he didn't run away.
"What are you talking about?" Roy said as if not knowing.
"Oh don't Kidd me Roy I saw you sleeping with Riza this morning"
"I didn't sleep with her" Roy said in his defense. "She slept with me"
"What!"a voice that came from his back, not even 2 seconds later he felt the cold metal of the gun beneath the hair of his neck and heard her turn the safety off.
"Repeat what you just said" She said. Her voice stern and cold.
"I... I'm sorry, I, really didn't mean it but..."
"What?"
"Well we really slept together yesterday didn't we?" He answered nervously. He felt the barrel off the gun press even more to the back of his neck.
"Let me rephrase that. We slept together just side by side and in the same room nothing more...There"
She felt satisfied so she lifted the gun of his neck.
"Very well then, you can kill Maes now" She said coolly.
Maes who was once standing protectively behind Riza was now running all over the hallways, with Roy stepping his heels.
"Great" He said, as he ran behind him.
She just saw him run behind. How could he be like that, so self confident or just simply... be so, so... him. Maybe that's what she liked so much of him, did she really like him or was it a bit more. Could it be...?no it couldnt, its not permitted... and she would never brake the rules for nothing would she.
She stopped thinking as she felt a stare burning a hole on her skin as she turned to the corner of the wall she was leaning on she saw just a spare black bang of hair fly back to its place at the other side of the corner.
"Colonel" She said not really minding him to be there. She wouldn't misplace that black bang for nothing.
"Aren't you supposed to be running behind Maes"
"I finished with that already"
Maes was on the other side of the hall, picking his clothes which were now burnt down, because of Roy, he was standing just in boxers, Roy was gonna pay for this.
He finally pocked his head out, with that how did you know´ look.
"Women's intuition, I suppose"
"hhm... maybe" she said. As she lifted her back from the wall to walk beside him.
"That was quick" she said
"Yeah well you know, Maes doesn't run that fast.
After that the day was pretty normal, phone calls, paperwork, the colonel sleeping at work, as always. Of course no one dared to bother the couple about the rumor Maes had spread since they saw what had happened to Maes himself.
