23: Double Kick of Pain!
I don't own FMA and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to AENR13. I'm sorry for not updating in a while! Forgive me! Anyways enjoy the chapter!
I'm trying to wake up but for some reason I can't. I feel something warm against my back and it's pretty nice. My eyes pop open as I realize there's Roy's hand next to mine. I turn my head a bit up then see he's laying his torso against my back. I smile a but as I start playing with his fingers. Despite them being rough from the flames they're actually nice. I start humming up a random song as he's still asleep. It feels nice, too bad once when he's awake this little moment of bliss for me is going to be over. Hercules pushes open the door open to the room making Roy to wake up. He yawns rubbing his eye as Hercules comes over to me with my slippers. I pat Hercules' head as he gives them to me. He leaves then Roy realizes he's on me.
"Sorry." He mumbles then gets out to get ready. I do too then we look at the mess from last night. "I'll help you clean that up later after work okay?" He pats the small of my back as we start heading over to work.
Roy and I walk to our offices as my dog Hercules follows behind me. I'm about to enter my office when Riza calls out
"So I see Lucky Laura strikes again." I narrow my eyes at her as she reads her newspaper
"You know Riza, giving his best friend cheap shots won't make him like you any better than he does now." I point out so she glances over at me
"That's what you think. I don't use my body as a tool you know." She states so I smirk
"I know but it helps." I'm about to leave when she smart asses me back
"Well I hear that he sleeps with you but it hasn't helped your cause hasn't it?" That blows out my fuse because ever since the damn Lucky Laura incident she calls me pretty much a slippery whore whenever she can. We lock eyes then go at each other. We grab each others arms as we're at a headlock from withstanding each others intensity.
"I will get Roy. If you think I'll let you touch a single strand of his hair on his head your dead Laura." She threatens as her arms tremble under my weight
"You ready to put your money where your mouth is?" I taunt so she smirks
"Whenever you are Laura. You know they don't call me the Trigger-Happy Alchemist for nothing." She states so we throw each other off then take this outside
"Lets change things up. This battle will determine the out come of our struggles. Winner gets dibs on Roy." She throws out there playing her most dangerous card. I nod then throw my uniform top off, I reach for my swords as she starts loading her guns. "And whoever falls first loses." She adds on making this thing more critical than ever.
"Any other rules Riza?"
"Yeah just one. Don't hold back." I nod so then we go at each other. She starts shooting at me but I arch my back as the bullet flies over me. Her bullets keep coming as I twist my body and move with fast reflexes to keep myself one step ahead of her. I ditch my two large swords then where their cases are strapped against my legs, I reach down then pull out 8 knives. I toss them up in the air and I catch them, one by the mouth, one at each hand, one in the inside of my elbows and the other two between my knees. I make my way over to her and use my whole body as a weapon cutting her up. She tries avoiding me but she can't, if she goes to the left it right there's swords to meet her along if she tries to move past me. I get on my hands then use my legs to attack her face. My foot kicks her under her chin causing her to fly straight into the air. I launch myself into the air to attack her when I'm pulled straight to the ground. My knives fall to the floor as Riza's pulled out of the sky too. I'm trapped between muscular arms and I'm dangling in the air as I realize that Alex pulled me out. He keeps an iron hold on me not letting me to continue my fight. I scream and kick trying to break free and Riza's doing the same as Roy's holding her back.
"Let me at her! We still a fight to duel out!" We scream in unison pulling against the guys when Roy yells out
"What are you guys fighting about this time?!" He demands annoyed about him having to intervene between us again. That's when Alex sighs because he must have had enough of this too.
"They're fighting over you Roy. Isn't that right?" He asks towards us so we nod and start pulling against them harder. Riza breaks free so she's about to land a punch at me when Alex locks his hand out against her head not letting her get any closer no matter how hard she tries. Alex glances over at Roy
"Why don't you just tell them already?" We glance over at Roy so Alex sets me down
"Tell us what Roy?" We ask confused so he smiles a bit as he finally remembers what Alex was talking about.
"That I'm already in a relationship." Our jaws drop to the floor
"WITH WHO?!" We demand then his smile widens
"Oh with this sweet little local named Marcy!" Riza and I make deflated faces because here we are fighting over an unavailable man in the first place.
"But whenever we asked, we thought you meant her!" We blurt out pointing at each other and he chuckles
"You never asked for a name." That's when we become into noodles and crash against the floor. Kill us now is written across our faces. We get up and there's a murderous look to our faces
"Hey Riza, you thinking what I'm thinking?" I ask and she nods
"Hell yes." We close the space between us and him then we scream out
"DOUBLE KICK OF PAIN!" Our feet kick him in his jewels and he screams out. He falls to the floor grabbing his junk as he shakes. I put my uniform back on then we brush the dust off of ourselves.
"Hey Riza, you wanna go get some lunch?" I ask and she smiles
"Of course! I'm in the mood for seafood actually."
"Really?! I know this amazing place then!" We walk out arm in arm together.
So I guess the message is rivalries can make temporary lunch buddies? I don't know but all I know is that Roy's not going to help me clean...
