title: vigil
fandom: fullmetal alchemist (roy/riza)
warnings: none
summary: late nights.
Late at night, as muddled light from street lamps filters past the curtains, Riza abandons hope of falling asleep. Roy is a warm presence at her side, fingers twitching occasionally. She slides out of bed, quietly padding toward the kitchen in stocking feet.
As she warms a glass of milk, she considers: the sink half-filled with dishes; a small pile of shoes cluttering the hallway. Earlier, Roy tripped over a pair of boots and threatened to burn them when Riza wasn't looking. She nudges the pile further aside and sips the milk. She’ll tidy up a bit in the morning.
