Chapter 6: Sleepy?

"I taste like … syrup" he stated as he denoting himself in the point that it had almost nothing to do with it.

"Roy?" she asked, after not seeing him blink for a few minutes

"Uhh?" he came out of his trance

"You know this is…"

"illegal?" he completed

"So can we …?"

"Lt.- He interrupted – What does the fraternization law state?"

She looked at him with a mixture of surprise and confussion. But as an obedient and well trained soldier, she answered.

"No one all ranking officers involved in the military shall fraternize with other in this same condition"

"And Lt.- hestarted again with a trademark smirk crossing his face, he wrapped his arms behind his neck – what is the purpose of such law?"

"To keep any military officer away fron their duty during work, Sir"

"Correct " he stated, satisfied with the answer

"Now does this interfiere with our work?"

"No, sir" she answered, finally getting it.

" You see we just need to be ourselves at work, and the higher ups wont notice"

"That's quite fine for me"

After having a very short dinner they both sat at the couch like always, with two hot mugs of sweet tea.

She came in the living room and placed the hot mugs on the table infront of them. Then she sat next to Roy and drank her tea silently. But she noticed something on Roy, he was staring at the fire again.

Fire was something no one could really get to understand completely, he loved fire, with almost allthe passion he loved Riza, Almost, but at the same time he hated fire, it made him remember all the aniquilation of the brown skinned bodies and the nightmare of crimson eyes. Fire to him was like a cookie to a little boy. It was delirious to have one, and while you have one you want more and when you get to eat more, youre so stuffed on cookies that you don't want to see o ne in the rest of your life but you still like it even though you deny it to yourself because of the memory of having to much. His eyes can show all that story, the story of the isvall masacre. Until he felt a palm on his chest.

"Roy … don't blame yourself" she said as she caressed his cheek with her thin fingers

"How´d you?… never mind"

She could read it perfectly, all of it was in his eyes. Infact she was expecting a question in like 5…4…3…2…1…

"Am I that easy to read?"

"You are quite allot, youre eyes allways give up on you, you can never lie to me" he was that easy to read.

"So you can tell if I really love you" he said. As he aproximated his face to his, causing her yo lie down.

"Yes I can, and you sure do" she answered to thenot precisly question before theyre lips touched.

It was quite a fatigating night, even though Roy never had the chance to take her clothes off or his. Since Riza was all ways, and that means always armed.They had a very very nice night.

And they woke up from theyre short moment of sleep to see a very very late hour. So they got ready in very few time and headed for work.

Riza had never been so tired in her entire life, not even in Ishvall, were she slept at very late hours, but the fact that there were no making out in Ishvall might have affected the hours of sleep.

Infact, she was so tired she didn't even notice everybody going to lunch and leaving her lying in her desk with her forehead in some random document. She was sleeping so well.

Roy was not that tired as she was, he was accustomed to it alredy never having a very nice sleeping night. He was wlaking back from lunch, when he entered the office and swa her lying in her desk like some kind of drug man or something. He assumed it was because of the short hours off sleep she had last night after theyre little make out session. But he was willing to take revenge for all those moments she pointed her guns to his temples, while he was dreaming with some of his bimbo dates.

He decided not to be that cruel and wake her up normally. So he tiptoed to her desk and brought his face to eye level with hers, but all he could se was her hair in a neat tight bun, as always.

"Hawkeye?" he asked waiting for some disturbing purr in the ' 5 minutes more mom' way. But nothing was heard, he was surprised though, she had always been a light slepper. He tried again.

"Hey Hawkeye wakeup?" no answer again.

So he made himself erect and started thinking, if he was so sensible to the misterious click of her guns htaen she might as well be sensible to the snap of his gloves, of course he wasn't going to use his ignition gloves, just the normal cloth. He had no intention in turning his 'hopefully wife to be' in aroasted one.

He came back to eye level, so close he could every single hair in each strand of her bun, and placed his hand near her ear.

Snap!!

She poped her head up and brought her hand to her holster, But Roy was still eye level and something white was covering her vision. The document she was seeing earlier, in wich she had fallen asslep over, was glued by no reason to her forehead. Roy brought his hand to the bottom of the page and pulled it off.

At sudden sight of her commanding officer and secret lover, her face flushed instantly, it flushed so much that she pushed herself backwards in her chair to hard and fell on her back to the floor.

Roy was having the time of her life, he had never seen her Lt. So clumsy. After he laughed for quite a while, he helped her up and continued laughing.

"Stop it!" she demanded as she strightend her uniform,

"Common it was just a joke, I had no Idea about the paer or the fall,…

Or of the sudden flucsh on your face either"

Her face still pink from the last time turned red again from him noticing.

"For the first time in your entire life you didn't finish your paperwork, and for the first time in what ive seen of your life, wich is quite allot, you fell asleep over it, just like I do, now you know how I feel when you shoot at me like some kind of scarecrow or something "

She turned around, now with her usual face.

"Well since you're such a bad influence,we should stop dating" she said calmly

"What?" he said, his face came from laughing out loud to a serious and worried face.

She just smiled, sarcasticly. "Where on hand now, gottcha there"

"huuh, your no fun at it" He stated with no satisfaction

"Now since you finished lunch already you should better start your paperwork" she said as she pointed her gun to the back of his neck.

The rest of the day went by quite silent, Lt. Hawkeye kept feeling sleepy and her head often went front. She felt very clumsy that day.

While Roy worked out quite well, his system was used to not sleeping at night and sometimes sleeping at day.
