[He couldn't help but look once the dress was out of the way, for at least as long as he was stood there until taking matters into his own hands.
They'd managed to prove to plenty of people that no matter what they did, they could do it perfectly together. Their fight against Homunculus had proven that to anyone who had seen them, and earlier in the night they might have been able to see that it extended to dancing, but there was no one who needed to know how well they worked like this.
He was nervous, sure-- but this meant something to the both of them that he didn't want to sacrifice thanks to insignificant things like his concerns for whether this was right or not. Not when he knew deep down in the very thing that was thudding in his chest, that he loved Riza, and in counter - that she felt the same way. They certainly wouldn't be here if it wasn't the case, but in the same breath it wasn't something he would be admitting vocally tonight. Or come morning. At least he didn't expect so.
Instead, he was too busy enjoying the moment, and hurrying it along too. There would be plenty of time for touching, and other things that had been crossing his mind constantly since they'd broken apart for 'tea'.
Safely on the bed, he could make a start on his own clothes - reaching down toward his trousers to try and unbutton them wasn't easy when you were trying to kiss someone, and by the third attempt to unbutton the top of them, he was pulling away with a low curse.
