Chapter 5: Living somewhere else

At the end of the day Roy stood at the door to see how his lieutenant left. As she opened her car door, she asked without looking at him.

"Need a ride, Sir"

"What? ... ohh umm…I, well..." He tried to say that he was stuck outside with his car and no keys but didn't know how, since when was he so nervous about her thinking he's a moron,wait... she knew that already.

"Let me guess… you dont have were to go because your locked outside" she guessed as she looked back at him.

She had taken his words out, or she knew him too well. Guess it was the second option.

His face said it all.

"Umm… yeah" he answered. Still guessing where did she get that from.

After a while of riding, things where getting pretty boring she didn't talk since she didn't have with who too do so. She always drove alone home not with her colonel at her side.

Either ways he was getting bored of looking out the window. She noticed and tried to tie a conversation.

"So, Sir what happened that night, you never told me"

"Oh... that... it was nothing. A little accident you know, those that happen" He answered.

"Really?... its never happened to me" She said. Trying to get him confess he was a moron.

"That's because your special" He answered simply.

"What?" she asked surprised. He just said I was 'special'... was she really special, you know... to him.

Yeah , you don't make mistakes that often you know. You're not clumsy"

"Ohh" she said seriously. So I´m no more than a Lt. for him.

They parked in front of some apartment building were she lived. They opened the door and began going up the stairs they were zillions of them.

"Did you carry me half frozen all the way up here?" He asked, when they got to her apartment way at the top of the building.

"Yes, and you were pretty heavy by the way" She answered with a slight chuckle.

"Very funny" He said sarcastically. Even though she laughed, he liked it; she didn't do so that often.

They entered and what Roy did first was throw himself in the couch. Hands around his neck as he looked up to the ceiling and closed his eyes. Until he felt this hot breathing in his face. He opened his eyes.

"Excuse me sir, but, what do you think your doing?"

"Oh common it was a hard day, and you know, I need some rest. You should get some too"

"Yeah well, but we need food too"

"You just said I was fat"

"I didn't say you were fat, I said you were heavy"

"It's the same" He said, still resting in the couch.

"No its not" she replied. While she placed a pan with food in the oven with a timer.

Then she looked for a can to give Hayate. When she found it she called for him.

The puppy was nearly crazy when he saw his mommy, and with a can of food.

While Hayate ran around her feet she laughed making everything not to squish him.

Roy saw everything from the corner of his eyes but closed them back.

Riza was having fun until she tripped and fell over the garbage can.

Roy immediately Jumped to his feet.

"What the..." When he saw her in the floor with all that garbage that hopefully wasn't stinky, he laughed, he laughed until his stomach ached; he threw himself to the floor and rolled as he kept laughing.

She just kept telling him to stop, but he didn't seem to mind. He finally stopped and breathed out.

"Finally!" She said.

"Sorry...chuckle...It was just...chuckle... too funny...jajajaja" He finished.

"Now would you help me out here?" she asked pointing at her dirty self.

"Sure chuckle"

"Why did you laugh any way, Sir"

"I'm Roy out the office, and its not every day I have the chance to see my never clumsy Lt. Fall over her garbage can"

While she cleaned her shirt he took some bags and stuff from her head. But when he took the last banana peel from her nose she chuckled.

"Oh, so your ticklish" And he started to pock her ribs. She did as well since she had to defend somehow without a gun.

They started rolling over each other, pocking each others ribs as they laughed. Until the couch stopped them from rolling.

She was on top of him with her head on his chest both burst out of laughter. A while after they stopped laughing and she lifted her head from his chest to look into his eyes.

They were black, everybody knew that, but she could see a different hue, a color that was still black even though, they reflected happiness, the one they felt like a while ago, they also reflected, sadness, a kind of sadness that will not go that easily, she knew that sadness to, she didn't know if it was reflected in her eyes, but she felt it purely.

He looked into her eyes, a wide beautiful smile in her face, but he focused in her eyes pure amber ones, everybody knew they were brown, but he could see much more else through them, he could see pain, happiness, guilt, beauty, and much more. He knew that pain as well it was the pain he felt, and that cold blooded guilt of crimson eyes and brown skin.

Neither of them moved, neither of them talked, both were just looking at each others eyes like if they wont see each other never again.

Until…he made the first move. He caressed her lips softly with his. And she returned the kiss as well. He played with her mouth all he could, he had been wanting this since allot time ago, she tasted like cherries. They left they're tongues move on their own, it was a passionate kiss.

Until they finally broke apart for some very strange reason… she was laughing, she was chuckling and giggling. He looked at her with a weird face, witch made her laugh even more as she fell on her back next to him in the floor.

"w-what?" He asked with that quizzical look. And turned to see her burst out on laughter next to him.

"Nothing… its just" and she continued laughing. Until she calmed herself.

"Its just … you taste like medicine syrup"
