Oh, she'd know a thing or two about things that are hot, wouldn't she?
〝 Lieutenant, please―
Do I seem like a child to you? 〞
He goes to take a sip
...only to burn his tongue.
〝 Ouch, sonuva― 〞
And barely a moment passes before she's back, she is rather good at this.
" Be careful, it's still hot.
And I know you have a habit of burning your tongue. "
He wouldn't be Roy if he didn't push his luck every now and again, especially when it came to her.
〝 Okay, okay―
No need to be so naggy, now! 〞
He rolled his eyes, grabbing a pen and beginning to do his work.
Oh, he's pushing his luck-- or at least, that's what her glare is telling him.
" . . . Truely. It has been too long.
I shall return with our coffee in a moment, do try to get some work done. "
A smile forms on his lips when he hears her voice soften―now this feels more like the Lieutenant he got to see that night.
〝 I would definitely appreciate the company! Feels like we haven't had proper one-on-one time in ages! 〞
He teased with a beaming grin.
Perhaps it was the sigh or the guilt finally catching up to her, but she let's out a sigh of her own. Vocie softing.
" . . . Do you want me to get us some drinks ? It may take a while to get though all this, you could use the help.
He can tell that―
He's not sure how he should feel about it, but he still lets out a defeated sigh.
〝 Right, my apologies― 〞
Reaches for a pen.
〝 I shall get to 'em right now. Don't worry, Lieutenant.
Thank you for bringing them to me. 〞
" You said you would get to it last time.
And now, once again, they are all days late. "
Her tone is so. . . lacking of any emotion, any of the softness of there special night.
One can only imagine what the reason for that must've been—
Roy visibly jumped when the papers hit his desk, her stern voice sending shivers down his spine.
〝 L-Lieutenant!! 〞
Coughs, a blush coming upon his features.
〝 U-Understood, I'll get right to it— 〞
She. . . hasn't spoken to @fIamesofjustice since there little vacation.
Well, not until now. Putting papers on his desk with a cold stone stare.
" You work, sir. It's all a few days late. "
@ashescrowned < the night . . .
Just you and me, Lieutenant . . . ― 〞
He brought his face closer to hers, lips mere inches apart.
〝 Just you and me . . . 𝘙𝘪𝘻𝘢. 〞
[ @ashescrowned ]
The day of the business trip had finally arrived!
The plan was for them to leave Friday morning and return on Monday, so basically spend the whole weekend out.
It is worth noting that Colonel had gotten up...much earlier than one would expect of him. >
@ashescrowned Roy reluctantly let go of one of her hand, but that's only so he could tuck some loose strands of her hair behind her ear, taking this opportunity to put his hand on her cheek, his thumb grazing against her soft lips.
〝 In that case . . .
I'm asking you to follow me into >
@ashescrowned < So, so much more . . . ~ 〞
He raised his hands so he could intertwine his fingers with hers. Her hands were coarse, yet oddly delicate in their own way.
@ashescrowned 〝 I'm sure there are exceptions if the said co-worker is into it. 〞
He teased, lowering his head down and nuzzling it into the crook of her neck, beginning to kiss along her delicate skin.
〝 Besides, you were never just a co-worker to me. You were always more, Lieutenant. >
@ashescrowned < He lifted his body up a bit, hands still grasping her wrists. There's a reassuring smile on his face―a way to tell her that she's free to back out at any time.
But if she chooses to go along . . . he'll make sure he takes good care of her.
@ashescrowned It would be a while before he's able to confidently call her Riza in moments like this. He might seem like he knows what he's doing but rest assured, he is about as nervous and scared as she is.
〝 Heh . . .
If that's the case, you're more than free to stop me, Lieutenant. 〞
>
@ashescrowned < a quiet thump echoing the room as their bodies hit the bed.
His hands were now placed on either sides next to her head, with him staring down at her with a weak, yet infatuated look in his eyes.
〝 L-Lieutenant . . . 〞
@ashescrowned Roy slowly lowered his hands down to her forearms, gently holding them. Even though his grip was loose, the mere act was a way of letting her know that in this moment, she was his and that he would keep her safe.
As he was tugged closer, he ended up falling on top of Riza >
@ashescrowned < A moment his childhood self could only dream about. Which he did...so many times, he did.
He may have had the reputation of a womanizer, but it was her who was on his mind all the time.
He put both of his hands on her cheeks, allowing himself to deepen the kiss, determined >
@ashescrowned < And with that, without thinking about anything else that could possibly go wrong, he quickly closed the gap between their lips, eyes shutting immediately.
@ashescrowned He's slightly taken aback by the feel of her delicate hand upon his cheek, only able to put his hand atop of hers, pressing it softly against him.
He began to lean his head down slowly, lips quivering.
〝 You would know that better than anyone, wouldn't you, Lieutenant? 〞
