Chapter 3: Blizzards
Ok here's the third and final chapter of the Royai Car Trouble Trilogy! I apologize for taking so long to update this; I've been so busy lately I haven't even had time to turn on my computer let alone type up a chapter. But I finally did so I hope you enjoy it!
"I sw-swear that if w-we m-m-ake it out of th-this ali-ve I'll never to-touch another c-c-ar again" the colonel forced out as his warm breath visibly floated towards the ceiling.
It was cold, very, very cold and once again Colonel Mustang and his loyal Lieutenant were stranded. But this time was looking like the worst; they were trapped in the middle of the blizzard of the century. The temperature outside was in the negatives and the one in the car wasn't much better. Well at least this time they didn't break the car; it was just stuck in about a foot and a half of snow!
"We're g-going to have to t-ough it out s-sir" Riza said from where she was huddled up under one of the emergency blankets they had found under the back seat "No-no one will be ab-able to get out h-here anytime s-soon"
"Th-there's got to be so-something that'll help us g-get warm," he muttered while rubbing his gloved hands up and down his arms. Then he got an idea.
"S-sir what are you doing?!" exclaimed Riza as Roy pulled her as close to him as he could and covered them with the two blankets.
"Sharing body heat," he said simply.
She seemed to accept that answer and went quiet. They may be dating but she was very strict on them remaining professional while on duty. The silence wasn't an awkward one it, unlike the roaring wind out side, was peaceful. With the help of the wool blankets they were both soon comfortably warm.
"Well it doesn't look like we'll be having that dinner tonight" he said referring to the plans that had for the evening.
"That's ok" she said with a soft smile "If I have to be stuck here at least I'm stuck here with you"
" I love you Riza," he said softly while he held her tight.
Her eyes widen slightly when she heard this. It was the first time he had ever told her in words that he loved her, but she had known all along.
"I love you too Roy" she replied, snuggling closer to his warm body.
When the rest of their team finally found them a few hours after the snow storm had died down, they were faced with the new task of decided who was going to have to wake up their superiors who had fallen asleep in each other's arms.
