Yeah...sorry about the other chapter that I uploaded...I uploaded it and then realized that I needed to fix something...and then I deleted it...without SAVING IT! AHH! So I had to do most of it over again!
It was just the editing, so it was no big loss. It's here now and that's all that matters. Just so you people know, it's not that I don't know what to write, it's just that I'm either too lazy or too busy to write it...but mostly I'm too lazy. The baby's eating things at random now, so I have to follow behind her all the time. She's got me run off my feet. Today, she decided to eat our purple game cube memory card...(Sigh)
But here it is, in all it's newly edited glory! ENJOY:D

Chapter 14 - Take it easy
------------------------------------------------------------
Roy gave a yawn and he stretched back in his chair, he was bored beyond all belief, he quickly resumed his hunched over position and continued to work. His paperwork was piled high and it showed no sign of ending. Riza opened the door to his office and entered, she could see that Roy was once again fretting over his work that had been sitting there, untouched, all day.
"Was there any reason that you didn't lift a finger today?" She asked, an emotionless tone in her voice.
Roy didn't move his head, he only turned his gaze to her and then back down to his work. "I got sidetracked." He finished one off and laid it aside.
Riza smiled. "I can't help but feel you're blaming that on me."
He shook his head."No...it's my own fault...I should get someone to help me with this, it's too much for one person in such a short amount of time." He remember that he had gotten Ed and AL to help him, he was thinking that maybe it wasn't too late to bribe them to do it again.
Riza shook her head. "I suppose you could put them off till tomorrw."
Roy dropped his quill. "What did you just say?" He gave her a raised eyebrow and a look of complete surprise and confusion. "Wait a second...you're not Envy are you?" Riza shook her head. "Are you sure?"
She nodded once again. "We have to leave soon. You were asked to attend the bonfire tonight, you're suppose to light it...or did you forget?"
Roy sat back in his chair. "Until now, yes. But now that you bring it up." He picked up the quill off his desk and stuck it back in the ink bottle. "Do you think we could make it a date?"
Riza smiled and nodded. "Everyone's going to find out eventually; but let's keep it underwraps for now. Just until I see a ring ok?" She threw more papers on his desk and turned to leave the room. Roy gave a smile of victory and stood up from his chair. Straightening out his uniform he followed behind Riza.
----------
"So..." Al began. "Do you think they wanted to be seen?" Al sat a the window seat on the train, Aria next to him and then Rose sitting alongside her. Winry sat on the other seat next to Edward. "They were kind of out of plain sight."
Ed shrugged. "Who knows, they were probably drunk. Drunk people do stupid things like that." They all took that into consideration.
"That is true...I remember something, it was about two years ago...Roy had come to work on crutches. He sprained his ankel trying to ride a mechanical bull. If I do recall, he was drinking the night before."
Ed nodded. "Yeah, I remember that, and I made fun of him for it too. Drunk bastard doesn't even remember it happening." He snickered to himself. "Oh well, if they are together, that's great; maybe Roy will finally settle down for once; and since Riza really doesn't seem like the type to sleep with the higher up's just to further her own career, I think it'll do him a world of good." Everyone was all too familiar with his womenizing ways, this would be a nice change of pace for Roy.
----------
"Roy..." Riza managed to brethlessly stammer out. "...Roy..." He lifted his head up from what he was doing. "We're going to be seen."
He shrugged. "We could just blame it on alcohol...they'll understand." Truth be told, neither had been drinking that night at all; Roy was still recovering from the other night. He continued to kiss her neck. He strong arms encircled her back and held her snugly. Riza rubbed her hands along his back as his kiss traveled up her neck to land on her lips. She kissed him deeply and passionately.
They had to keep their love a secret, most were uncomfortable with a relationship in the work place; at least a new relationship, if they were married, no one would mind as much. No one was to know of their union for the time being; they were to keep it secret.
This, however, did make it fun around HQ; having to duck the higher up's if they wanted to have a few moments together, having to sneak around if they wanted to have a quicky in one of the unused offices. It gave some bit of relief of the usual boring and motonus work day, it added in the element of ecitement. Just the thrill of the thought of being caught made one's blood surge and the adrenaline rush.
Riza placed her hands on either side of Roy's face and guided him to look into her eyes. "We should get going soon."
Roy stood up and kissed her lips once again. He gave her a smile. "I guess you're right. We'll miss out on all the food if we stay here; I am kind of hungry." It was true, he haden't eaten for half of the day, he kept getting sidetracked.
----------
"Riza...RIza!" He said in a loud yet, whispered hush.
She averted her gaze to Roy who's head was sticking out of a strange office, he was waving his hand to call her over. The office didn't look like it was being used, she crossed the hall, hopeful that no one would see her enter the room. Successful, she closed the door ehind her. "What is it?" She had no clue as to what Roy was doing.
He walked up to her and reached behind her, turning the lock on the door, it clicked, signifing that it had been locked. "You on lunch now?" She nodded. "Good, I'd hate to interrupt your work."
She smiled. "What about you? You're lunch ended an hour ago."
He shrugged. "No big deal, I'll get it done." He quickly picked her up and whisked her over to the desk. Sitting her on the edge he leaned her back and kissed her.
She put and hand on his chest and pushed him back slightly. "We're going to get caught, I think it's best we don't."
He gave her a sly smle. "But that what makes it so damn fun...getting caught and all." With that look in his eyes, she just couldn't say no. The two of them fell into embrace, they made love right there on the desk.
----------
Roy smiled as he thought back to the day's events. They had been seeing one another regularly for the past two months now and they were quite happy. Roy walked alongside her as they approached the stands where the food was being served; they were really close to the fire, not close enough to catch on fore, but it was warm just standing next to them. The stands were just long tables with canopy's over them to avoid the heat from escaping completly.
Roy took hold of Riza's hand and gave it a quick squeeze and then let it go. It was like a hug, just a little more descrete. He smiled at her and then set off to find something to eat. On his travels he ran into Havoc, he had his trademark cigarette hanging out of his mouth and a rather dazed look on his face. "Food any good?"
Havoc turned his head and smiled at Roy. "Yeah, it's awesom, you should totally get some befor it's gone." He made refrence to his empty plate of food laying on the table.
Roy chuckeled a little. "You drinking?"
Havock smiled a somewhat dopy smile. "Yup." He said proudly. "And so is she." He pointed off in the direction of Cathrine and Sheska. The two of them had their arms linked and were dancing around in a circle to the cheerful fiddle music that was being played live. Every so often they would switch and dance in the other direction. "You drinkin' tonight?"
Roy shook his head. "Na, I'm still licking the wounds from last time.: He smiled, he was quite surprised. "I didn't think Cathrine drank...didn't seem to be in her character."
Havoc shrugged. "Me too...but she can put it away! She drank twice what I did and she can walk fine...her speech isn't bad either."
Roy couldn't help but laugh. "Look at them, it's amazing how someone's persnoality can completly flip when they drink.
He agreed with a nod. "I just hope she stops soon, I'm gedding dizzy jus loking at em'." His speech was beginning to fail him. "Mmm..." He rubbed his eyes.
Roy gave him a pat on the back. "Take it easy Jean." With that said he headded off to grab some food. He could smell the barbequed ribs a mile away and he wanted some. Havoc gave him a wave and turned his attention back to the girls making a scene.
They looked like they were having tons of fun. The moment that Havoc was waiting for finally came; the crowd clapped and gave a cheers to the two young women. The song had finally ended and Cathrine gave Sheska a hug and she set off back to where he date was sitting.
Cathrine waved to Sheska and skipped back over to Havoc and flung herself into his arms. "Did you see me? I had fun!" She giggled and burried her head in his chest. "You know I'm not that drunk...you don't think I am do you?"
Reluctantly he shook his head. "No, no...of course not." He very well knew that she was three sheets to the wind right now, but it was best not to argue with her, there was no telling if she would go violent or not.
"We should go now." She lifted her head up and looked at him, an inhebreated expression masked by a sweet smile.
"Go where?" He seemed a little confused.
She smiled and traced her finger on his chest. "Back to someplace quiet...so we can be alone...so we can..." She began to giggle.
Havoc was intregued. "So we can what?" He was hoping that she was taking this in the direction that he was hoping for.
"Silly..." She gathered her thoughts. "So we can..." She got close to his ear and whispered. "...so we can do it...hehe." She giggled again and hugged him.
A smile spread across his face. "You're right!" He placed her arm around his waist and she held on tightly. "We should go, it's too noisy here." He walked off to find Mustang, it was best that someone sober knew that he and Cathrine were leaving. Finding Roy standing in line for food he taped his shoulder.
Roy turned to see Havoc very carefully balancing himself. "You two ok?" He asked with concern.
"Yes." Jean quickly answered. "We're taking off now...just so you know that we're ok, and not missing or something."
He raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going?" Havoc gave him a stern glare and then motioned to Catherine with a head movement, she was clinging onto his waist. "...oh..." It clicked with him. "I see...have fun kids." He teased.
Havoc nodded and turned with Catherine. "We will."
Roy smiled as he watched them walk off. It probably wasn't the best idea to let them go, but he knew how Jean felt about this girl, so it was in his best intrest not to give a warning. Letting people learn on their own was the best way to get them to learn; this espically went for Havoc.
Finally Roy had reached his goal, he picked up and paid for two plates of food. It consisted of four meaty ribs a buttery baked potatoe and coleslaw. He balanced the two plates of food in his hands and headed over to where Riza was sitting. He laid the plate down in front of her and they bagan to eat in silence.
Riza looked up. "Where did Havoc and Catherine go?" Riza broke the silence.
Roy swallowed the bite of rib that he had in his mouth. "They're went back to his place."
Riza seemed concerned. "What for?"
Roy glanced over at her. "What do you think?"
"But? She's never had a boyfriend before..she's probably still a virgin." They sat for another few moments of silence. She then stood up. "I'm going to go get them."
Roy placed a hand on her shoulder and gently sat her back down. "Test of faith Riza."
She thought about it. "...I suppose you're right." With that said she began to enjoy the food that Roy had brought her.
----------
The train ride was quiet, everyone had no trouble falling asleep; except for Edward. He had overslept that morning and wasn't exactaly tired just yet. He fidgeted in his seat, causing Winry to stirr and wake up. "I'm sorry, I woke you." Winry shook her head. "You can use my shoulder if you want."
She looked at him and smiled. "You don't mind?" Edward shook his head. "Alright." She laid her head down on Ed's left shoulder and closed her eyse briefly and then opened them again. "Hey..look at Al."
"What?" Ed looked at his younger brother who's head was up against the wall of the train. He was sound asleep. Looking next to him, Aria was laying back and alongside her was Rose who had her head down, she was holding the baby. Winry pointed at Al's left hand; it was holding Aria's tightly. Al seemed to have the remants of a smile on his face. "Aww, little Alphonse is growing up."
Winry nudged him and snickered a little. "Shh...you'll wake them." With that, the two of them drifted off to sleep next to one another again.
