"That wasn't nice," Riza commented as they walked down the dark driveway.

"He wasn't either!" Roy argued, sounding a bit like a little kid.

"But you started it, sir." Riza replied coolly. "Why do you always pick at him? One of these days he really is going to try and kill you."

Roy smiled to himself. "He's not going to get past you, though."

"I might let him get a good whack." Riza snorted, only half joking.

"No you wouldn't." Roy slid his hand into hers.

Riza's composure faltered. "A-are you sure about that?" Heat rose into her cheeks as she felt him bend closer. She didn't turn to look at him.

"Yep. Completely sure." He kissed her on the cheek. "Happy New Year, Lieutenant."

Riza let her self-control, always so in-check, go. "Happy New Year, Colonel." She smiled up at him.
