The Basics (Azri)

He noticed she had woken up right away but just watched her as she moved. "Well... I'm sure you'll do just fine." He smiled as she placed a hand on either side of his head and gave him a small sleepy smile as she straddled his waist. "Worrying is my job... Not yours... Okay?" He stared into her eyes deeply as he continued to look up at her. He placed wrapped his arms around her back.

"Fair enough I'll leave the worrying to you and I'll just focus on making sure we both survive." He was glad to see that she was so comfortable with him. He had been worried that she might not be able to. Though if she hadn't been able to be so comfortable with him he couldn't have really blamed her. After all he doubted anyone would come out alright after having something like that happen to them. Every time he thought of what that monster did to her he wanted to slowly burn her brother to death one muscle at a time.

"I guess I should move...." He smirked at hearing her say that and seeing as she was actually in no real hurry to get up since she was still in the same spot looking down at him he figured he'd take the chance presented to him. He leaned up some keeping his hands on her back and kisses her softly on the lips.

Notices her shock at first and mentally sighs in relief when she relaxes. After a moment when she fell from panicking he sighed and mentally kicked himself. He should have known that would be a bad idea. "... W-Why?" He looked at her for a few moments before smiling fondly. "Why not? Sometimes you just have to go with things in the spur of the moment." He sat up more as he watched her stand up.

"We... Should get you some clothes... Other than those... Um... T-The shower's upstairs.... Third door on the left if you need to use it.... I'm..... I'm going to go and make some breakfast........" He sighed and rubbed the back of his head. Maybe he shouldn't have done that despite his reasoning. After all he knew that she wasn't used to that kind of attention. He didn't think things were unsalvageable though.

"Without anything clean to change into a shower would be kind of a waste of time don't you think? I'll be fine for now until we get done with clothes shopping." He stood up himself and straightened out his uniform more. Having something else to wear would be a plus. Especially since he was probably never going to need the uniform when he finished this mess anyways. He had no real incentive to go back. Sure there was Riza but she deserved someone better then him and there was someone here that needed him anyways.

"Would you like some help with breakfast?" He was sure that she had mentioned the shower to get some distance between them but it was better to offer the help anyways. Besides he had nothing better that he could be doing at the moment. Sure he could train some with magic but he didn't want to leave right now. He played with the thought that one of them in his mind and mentally chuckled. They probably had more important things to do rather then mess with people's love life with everything else going on.

"If you would prefer I could find something else to do while you are cooking."

When he woke up he was a little confused where he was at first and he looked around the room before noticing the woman in his arms. He smiled softly as he looked at her. Despite all the crap that had happened the day before he felt that it still ended well. After all he got to stay in the room of the woman he had developed feelings for and got to wake up with her in his arms. Though he did wish he hadn't had to endure that much pain to end up here.

His mind wandered to the fight he had with Crom and he mentally winced. There was no way he could hope to match up to a monster like that on his own. Before he had compared him to Envy and other homunculi but this guy was on a whole new level. One that couldn't be matched by a mere human like himself. "If he's still around then there will be absolutely nothing I can do. But even if that's the case I'll do whatever I can to make sure he doesn't lay a single finger on Azri ever again. She's suffered far to much for one lifetime it's about time she had something good happen in her life. The only thing is it doesn't look like that's going to be so easy. Especially if she doesn't want it to happen." He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he spoke a little louder then he probably should have with the woman sleeping in his arms.

His arms wrapped around her a little tighter as if he let go she would just disappear. Though he didn't and wouldn't say it he was afraid that's what would happen. He was still trying to figure out exactly what was going on. After all there had only ever been one person he'd had feelings for before but he always pushed them aside so that those he cared about wouldn't be hurt. But now he was doing everything in his power to make sure he kept this one woman safe and as close to him as possible. It was confusing but in a good way.

He smiled as he looked back at her again. If only she could be as relaxed when awake as she was asleep. He smiled fondly as he remembered her yelling at him for not running away. It looked like despite what she had said she didn't want anything to happen him and was protective of him because of it. At least that gave him some hope that it still wasn't to late to try.

He had started to wake up a few minutes after she had left and noticed that the spot on the bed next to him was empty. He decided that he should probably get up as well. He took a moment to search through the clothes that Azri had bought him and grabbed a pair of sweat pants that would work for now and then took a few moments to decide whether or not he should wear a shirt or go without. He decided on going without for the time being as the smell of assorted breakfast foods drifted up the stairs to him. "Roy! Breakfast!" He had made his way down the stairs just as Azri had yelled lightly to wake him up. Or he at least assumed that's what the yell had been for. He noticed the plate of toast in her hands as his eyes trailed over her body.

"Enjoy... Eat whatever you want... I wasn't sure what you'd want to eat so I just cooked a really huge breakfast." His eyes went down to her legs as he continued to look at her as she spoke. He noticed that the shirt she wore was too large for her and assumed it was one she had bought for him. Though he had to admit at least to himself that it looked quite good on her. Especially with the fact the shirt only just went past her mid thigh. He watched her move to set the toast on the table and then watched as she set herself down before moving towards the table himself. He smiled as he saw the newspaper she pointed at. "Figured you might want that, so I grabbed it from the letter box before I started cooking."

"You really didn't have to go through the trouble of making all of this." He waved his hand to indicate the assortment of breakfast foods on the table. "Something simple would have been fine though I can't say that this isn't a nice way to wake up. I just feel bad that so much of this will probably go to waste." He smiled as he looked at her while putting a couple pancakes on his plate and grabbing some bacon. He paused in talking for a moment as he buttered his pancakes and poured some syrup on top of them.

"Though waking up to see such a lovely sight each morning is something I could definitely get used to." He made sure he was looking right at Azri when he said that part. After he poured himself a glass of orange juice he began to eat his breakfast. "I don't see why you thought my cooking was better then yours. This is much better then anything I've ever cooked." He ignored the newspaper for the time being.

He had noticed her smile when he said that she didn't have to make so much and smiled as well. He was glad that she was opening up a little more and that she was willing to give them a chance. Though he would never admit it out loud it seemed that something good came from the mess that happened the day before. "Well, any left over bacon I can make sandwiches out of later, same for sausages, eggs not so much, pancakes can be eaten cold or be reheated. Plus I wanted to." He nodded that was a good point they could make more out of some it or just reheat some of it.

"Besides we have a big day ahead of us. Remember? The beach?" He mentally cursed when he heard that. He had thought Hughes would be a nightmare before when it was just a misunderstanding. Now that they were actually giving it a shot Hughes would be completely unbearable. "Right the beach. Hm you know maybe we shouldn't bring Hughes along. After all he'll be completely insufferable if he even suspects anything. Well unless you have a way to hide a gun in that swimsuit then it wouldn't be so bad."

He noticed her blush and smiled more. The fact she was laughing was a good sign as well. "Oh come on. I don't look that good." His smile only grew larger when she said that. "Well you may not think that you look that good but I definitely do." He took a drink of his orange juice before going back to eating his breakfast. If only the moments like this could last. He would much rather just have settings like this and nothing to worry about. Though he knew that wouldn't happen anytime soon it was something to look forward to.

"I'm good at making breakfast. Not so much at other big meals. So maybe we can work on our cooking skills together sometime." He nodded at that in thought. It would give them another excuse to spend more time together. With how he had messed things up back home he had never expected to find anything like what he had now. It seemed there really was a silver lining to everything. He'd have to thank whatever god that brought him here for giving him an opportunity like this.

"Hmmm... How about we get a shower after breakfast?" He paused and stared at her after hearing that. To say he was shocked would be an understatement. He had definitely not expected to hear that from her. He continued to just stare fore a couple of minutes before he nodded slowly. "A shower would be nice. I definitely wouldn't say no to the company either." He smiled as he said though inside he was hoping that he didn't just shoot himself in the foot by saying that. Though since she had been the one to bring it up he didn't think that he had though he could be wrong.

"You know from just what I've seen of the clothes you bought me so far I think I should have you buy my clothes for me often. After all you seem to have quite good taste in clothes. Though that shirt looks a lot better on you then it would on me." He smirked when he said the last bit willing to test his luck with what he could say a little more now that she didn't seem as likely to close herself off. Though he knew they still had a long ways to go. After all the damage that her brother had done wouldn't just go away. No matter how much he wished it would.
