-Cici's POV-

My eyes slowly fluttered open, and I realized I was in the hotel room I rented with my brothers. I groaned slightly, and then heard a chuckle.

"Man, Angel, you love to fall unconscious" I heard a voice say to me.

I groaned once more, and forced myself to sit up. I lazily looked to the side of my bed, and screamed when I saw who was there. I quickly grabbed my gun, jumping out of bed and creeping into the corner. I pointed the gun at him. "St-stay away!"

"My god, Cici, you that jumpy nowadays?" Seroko asked, slightly amused.

"You're the Rouge Alchemist, aren't you?!" I barked.

"Yeah, but I'd never go after an ELRIC. I mean, god, what kinda guy do you take me for?" my childhood crush asked me. "I'd never attack my friends."

I felt as if a huge rock of guilt had fallen on me. My orders were to murder him, and I was going to go through with it, no matter what. I slowly lowered my gun, then went and sat on the bed. I blinked when he sat beside me, then closed my eyes as he put his arm around my waist. I gently leaned against him.

"We still do it" he said. "We still act as if we're a couple."

I giggled. "Yeah, we do."

"Guess old habits don't change" Seroko said, sounding a little distant.

"Is something wrong?" I asked as I opened my eyes.

"It's just.." Seroko looked at me, and he smiled. "You've become a beautiful young woman, Cici." His smile then faded. "But a State Alchemist?"

I looked away. "Ed and I both joined. We did it for the research.."

"To get your bodies back to normal, right?"

I nodded slightly, then snuggled against him. He felt so warm. I felt the crush I had on him when I was younger slowly return.

I felt him shift a bit, then my eyes widened when his lips pressed against mine. My military girl side screamed to push him away, but my heart told me not to. In the end, my heart won. I gently pressed against his lips, my eyes closing. Soon he had his arms around me, mine around his neck, and I was laying on the bed with him on top of me.

After a little bit, he pulled away, and we both panted slightly. He grinned at me, seeing my bright red face. "Well, Angel, I would've thought you'd push me away." He chuckled slightly. "But I'm glad you didn't."

"Oh, I..I shouldn't be doing this! Seroko, I..MMM!" My protest was cut short when he kissed my again. When he pulled away again, I shook my head, keeping him some distance away. "Seroko, I can't! I have orders from the Fuhrer to kill you!!"

"Forget your orders, then. Or say that I 'conquered' you" he said with a smirk, moving my hands and pinning me to the bed.
