Chapter 16: Showing Off
Roy let out a soft sigh as he stretched out on the blanket they had spread on the grass. It was one of the rare days his team had off so he and Riza had decided to go relax in the park.
"This is nice," he said as he watched a couple of clouds float by.
"Yes it is," she agreed as she curled up beside him and opened a book.
They were quiet for a while until out of nowhere she started to softly laugh. At first he out it off as something in her book but after a moment or two his curiosity over powered him.
"What's funny?"
She gave him a small smile and said "The boys are spying on us from about ten yards to your right"
Upon hearing this he acted like he was stretching and peeked over to his right, and sure enough every couple of seconds one of the heads of his four men would pop up from behind a clump of bushes and then disappear again.
"How'd you know they were there?" he asked his companion in amazement.
"I could hear them," she answered simply, never taking her eyes off of her book.
"What?!"
"It's a sniper thing" she answered while turning a page.
Things went quiet again as if Roy was taking a minute to compute this new information, until he broke the silence.
"Well since they went through all the trouble of stalking us the least we can do is give them something interesting to see" he said with an almost evil grin.
"What do you mea-" she started but was cut off when his lips came crashing into hers in a fiery kiss. He moved to where he had her pinned under him, but was careful to hold his weight off of her, with out ever breaking to kiss. All four faces peeking over the brush were now easily seen because they were each a shade of bright red.
"That should teach them a thing or two" Roy said when they finally broke for air.
"You're such a show off" she muttered while rolling her eyes.
Yes it was true, Roy Mustang can be a huge show off but at least he was hers.
