Eastern Theatre, Eastern, Amestris - Evening

[light_a_spark]

It was just a normal evening. A general sent to Eastern to do some inspections of the Eastern troops usually ended up getting bored in his evenings. The theatre was only a few blocks away from his hotel and Roy had been visiting it most evenings now. Sometimes even going to the same movie. He hardly got this much free time when he was back in Central.

At least, that should be how it looked. Going regularly earlier had hopefully thrown off anyone who might be watching. He didn't know if Aly would be able to make it. It'd been weeks since he'd last seen her, but she had been fine. Even if he knew without a doubt, that her communications were only covering half of what she'd been doing and he couldn't help worry.

It'd been the right decision to make, he needed someone he could trust down here and the person he used to rely on for these missions was gone. Aly was good, he was just failing terribly splitting his mind between the boyfriend and the General who knew to put his trust into his men, no matter what the risk.

He needed to be that General tonight.

She chuckled at his stubbornness, nudging her knee against his. "Stop worrying, Roy."

"You know I won't," he did sound amused and he shook his head. He couldn't help it, no matter how much he trusted her to pull this off.

He was failing at the General part, huh? He never had this problem with Maes... Oh, who was he kidding? He worried about all of his staff, this was just worse.

For all her arguments to herself, Aly was failing at forgetting how much she wanted to kiss him. Anyone other than Roy, and she'd have major issues with the fact that they seemed to not trust her, but Roy - the trust and the worry went hand in hand. It was sweet.

"How long are you in Eastern for?" she murmured.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Another week," he raised an eyebrow at her. "More perhaps if I'm not satisfied with what I find." Or if her leads led them to something they could move on.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"It might be more," Aly decided, lips amused at that eyebrow. "I should have some more details in the next few days."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy hummed and he nodded slowly. "We'll be ready to move."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"I know," she agreed easily, shifting enough that her shoulder pressed against his for just a moment.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

It'd be about time and he shifted just enough to lean back a little against her. "You know what to do if there's anything you need," he said quietly.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Her eyes opened wide and innocent. "No, I have no idea. I've never done this before."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Fine. I'll stop worrying," he chuckled softly, but it was a lie anyway.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Of course you will," she pretended to believe him.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You're mocking me," he sighed. "You have an entire movie to mock me."

Which was way too short and he wondered exactly how he was going to manage letting her walk away.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"I thought you missed me mocking you, baby," Aly teased, her voice too low to carry.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I missed you," he said quietly, not even bothering to deny it.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Me too," she murmured. It was stupid to ignore the fact.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

It was, and he was having trouble remembering why it had been a good idea to pick the theatre as meeting spot.

"Fury's minding the cats," he murmured, because they had been missing her too and he was a rather big softie but she wasn't allowed to tell anyone.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"How'd you badger him into that?" she asked, amused by his comment.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Brought the cats to the office," he said, smirking a little because it'd worked pretty much how he'd expected it to. "Havoc claims Ow destroyed his paperwork."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly snorted. "If he didn't leave it on the floor, it'd be safer."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Like that would have stopped that cat," Roy chuckled.
