Trooper Station - Saturday

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy doubted he was going to get an unexpected visitor at the station today, but he still had taken precautions. His desk was mostly clean, there were only two neat stacks on top of it. One pile that he still had to go through and another that was already done. The ball of rubber bands was nowhere to be seen as was any other form of distractions.

Quite frankly? It was boring and he tapped his fingers impatiently against the desk as he stared at the paper in front of him. At least he could take comfort in the fact that if anyone would dare to open one of the cabinets, they'd get caught in an avalanche of papers (the mess that to go somewhere after all).

And now he was pondering calling Ralph in here to see the look on his face if he did just that. Then Roy remembered the trooper rarely took off his helmet. There went his entertainment for the afternoon.

"Don't tell me you got a cleaner."

Look at that. There was a redhead in the doorway. A remarkably upbeat one, at that.

Kerrigan gave the room a theatrical once-over. "Scary."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I should take that as an insult you know," Roy replied, glancing up at Kerrigan. He didn't look too insulted however, a small smile playing across his lips as he watched her.

"You should see the cobwebs at my place," she countered, amused. And stalked further into the office.

"If that's a hint to get me to clean them up, you're dropping it to the wrong person," he teased, glancing at the chair in invitation.

Kerrigan balanced one hand on the back of the chair, then slipped into it. "No, it just means you should give me the number of your cleaner," she replied.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Really? Any particular reason why I should be so generous?" he asked, sounding like a man not against getting bribed.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

She just smirked. "Common courtesy works."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy sighed. "Fine, but you might want to write it down."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Nah," she segued, dryly. "I'm told the cobwebs add character."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You sure you need more character?" he teased her lightly.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Better to have more than less, I'd say."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He chuckled. "True," he agreed and realised he hadn't spoken to her since she and Hawkeye had bonded over guns. "I see you managed to survive last weekend's visitors."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Didn't have any of my own," Kerrigan replied, leaning back in her chair. "Although the sheer level of crazy amongst some of these parents is a little worrying."

"Did the Lieutenant come back?" Ed asked, lounging in the doorway of Roy's office.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

There may have been the slightest pause before Roy replied "no". He glanced up at Ed. "Did Winry?"

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"Nah," he said, waving it off. "But I figured there had to be something you were scared off if your office was clean."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Just making sure nosy, little brats don't read things they shouldn't," Roy said calmly.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING SO DAMN TINY THEY COULDN'T REACH THE PAPERS ANYWAY?" Ed flailed at him, automatically pissed.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

There was a hint of amusement in Roy's face, but he quickly hid it. "Don't see anyone else here."

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

Ed frowned mightily, his hands itching to get his own back. "DAMMIT, MUSTANG. JUST BECAUSE YOU"RE AFRAID OF A GIRL."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't the one caving because a girl was shouting at me," he pointed out.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"You're just the one that cleaned his whole office cause a girl raised her eyebrow," he snapped back.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"When you manage to actually kiss a girl you can come back and talk," Roy decided, scowling at Ed.

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"I WOULD KISS A GIRL IF I WANTED TO," Ed flailed at Roy. "JUST BECAUSE WE'RE ALL NOT OBSESSED!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Not being obsessed and completely ignoring it are two things, Fullmetal," Roy pointed out.
