Twisted Footsteps- Loses
Title: Loses
Arc: Twisted Footsteps
Pairing: Envy/Roy
Rating: G
Note: It's continuing, though I've figured out it'll not quite follow the manga in any set way after the spoiler point.
Game
From that day, there had been no more strange inconsistencies among his girlfriends, and Roy found himself drifting further from the dating game. Suddenly it was just a dry, thankless chore that he dealt with from week to week. He found himself growing bored, the challenge of meeting a new woman and entrancing her having become stale. Since he'd outed his little 'companion' as something inhuman, he simply didn't see the appeal. It was puzzling.
He was certain that Havoc would have been overjoyed by a development like this before he'd been hurt, but now even rivalry wasn't a viable reason to continue. He knew that his sudden lack of dates was drawing attention from his subordinates, but he had yet to figure out how to reassure them that there was nothing wrong with him.
Just because he wasn't dating didn't make him ill, did it?
Shaking his head over the thought, he let his steps take him towards the library, dark eyes trained upwards on the gathering clouds. It would just be his luck if it started raining on him at this point, considering how the day had been already. There was trouble with the Elrics, as there always seemed to be recently, and he knew this time he'd need to personally go see what was going on.
As though thinking it had caused the event to occur, the clouds broke open, giving him no time to reach his destination before he found himself soaked.
If he hadn't been so distracted, Roy might have noticed the figure by a shopfront off to his right that followed his steps with intent eyes, an amused smirk on his face as he followed after the man, having decided to keep any trouble away from his fun.
