The Scent of Blood

Riza furrowed her perfect golden brows as she sliced a potato into equal thin slices. She moved onto the freshly washed cabbage as soon as she was done with the potato. Her brows were still slightly scrunched up as she worked on the green vegetable.

"Sir…don't you have something better to do?" She blurted and gazed at Roy with utter annoyance.

If only he would stop staring at her…today had been a pretty bad day for her. She had accidentally cut herself when she was trying to pick up pieces of broken glass she had dropped earlier. The last thing she needed now was someone staring at her.

"Riza, its Sunday. We're on break, so quite the formal acts will you?" The bored man chided and leaned lazily against the palm of his hands on the kitchen counter.

"...Don't you have something better to do?" She repeated and stared at the jaded flame colonel. This time, she erased the formal acts. She would do anything to make him stop staring at her. It disturbed her greatly…and strangely.

Roy had burst into her house for no reason around noon when she was just about to make her lunch. She didn't want to be impolite so she offered to make him lunch. BUT, she didn't think he would be staring at her while she made it.

"You're no fun at all Riza." Roy scowled lightly. "Such a cold attitude..."

Riza just flashed him another look of annoyance before getting back to cutting the vegetables. "Why are you here anyway?"

"Hmm…" Roy pretended to think and hesitate before shrugging playfully. "I don't know, I guess I'm just bored."

"Oh?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Mmmhmm! Don't mind me Riza," He grinned lopsidedly that suddenly made Riza's heart jolt a bit. "Continue on with your coo—"

"Ow!"

Riza looked at her slender finger that was now covered with trails of crimson blood again. Darn that colonel! He made me lose my concentra-

Out of the blue, Roy grabbed her wrist all of the sudden and analyzed the wound for a second before placing her injured finger gently into his mouth.

-tion… She finished with a gaping mouth. His mouth was warm under her finger and she could feel him gently sucking the blood away. Electricity passed through her body as his tongue rolled teasingly around her finger. It wasn't until she had just started to calm down when Roy released her finger and smirked humorously at her.

"W-Why are y-you here?" She demanded with a slight chill on her back and held her hand close to her pounding heart.

His smirk suddenly morphed into a mischievous one as he closed the distance between them. "Because Riza," He said casually and randomly twirled a strand of loose golden hair around his finger. "The mere scent of your blood calls me to you."

"Wha?" She looked at him with confusion and felt her face growing hot.

Roy looked at her and continued to smirk. It was obvious that he was clearly enjoying himself with her confused expressions and all...

"You blood tasted sweet by the way" He complimented coolly and leaned forward for a kiss which Riza found herself receiving without any objections.
