This was a challenge I couldn't resist. You'd be amazed how difficult it can be to squeeze an entire story into one sentence.
If any of these inspire you to write something of your own, feel free to use them.

Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye
#01 - Comfort
The Hawk's Eye had watched over him all through their time in Ishbal, and he found it oddly reassuring that she had continued to do so for all these years since then.
#02 - Kiss
It was against regulations, but she could have kissed him when he put himself between her and Barry the Chopper.
#03 - Soft
The click of metal against metal as she removed the safety from her gun was barely audible, but still brought the entire office staff, including the dog, to a standstill.
#04 - Pain
All he was aware of through the pain and fever was that she was there, stroking his hair and telling him that she was sorry she hadn't been faster.
#05 - Potatoes
When he asked Havoc about what happened with Catherine Armstrong, the garbled reply about potatoes and tomatoes left him entirely grateful that his own relationship wasn't nearly as complicated.
#06 - Rain
"I wouldn't dream of calling you a wet match, sir," she replied, a saccharine sweet smile on her face, "but you're still useless in the rain."
#07 - Chocolate
He dangled the piece of candy bar in front of Black Hayate's nose for five minutes before she told him that dogs didn't like chocolate.
#08 - Happiness
His distaste for firearms was well-known around the base, but the afternoon he spent with her on the firing range was one of the happiest he'd passed in a long time.
#09 - Telephone
His staff didn't know that when he flirted with girls over the phone, half of them were his contacts on the street, and she was the other half.
#10 - Ears
The men started going crazy trying to find out who the mysterious Elizabeth was that they heard Chief was going to marry, but hadn't realized that the lieutenant used a shortened version of her name.
#11 - Name
Putting one's signature to a piece of paper took less than ten seconds, so she never understood why he put off doing his paperwork the way he did.
#12 - Sensual
Until he saw the tattoo on her bare back, he had no idea that alchemy could be such a delight to the senses.
#13 - Death
When the line went silent, the first thing that went through his mind was the image of Hughes bleeding to death in a phone booth, and he prayed he hadn't lost her too.
#14 - Sex
There were people who thought that his having a member of the fair sex protecting him was insane; they changed their minds when she started shooting at them.
#15 - Touch
She had meant for him to destroy the fire array, and once she'd taken off her shirt, she'd expected him to, but was pleasantly surprised when his hands moved to caress rather than burn.
#16 - Weakness
The battle had taken everything he'd had and then some, but he didn't collapse until the two of them were alone together and she was the only one there to see his weakness.
#17 - Tears
"Honestly, sir, I thought you learned how to do these things in basic training," she said as she neatly mended the tears in his jacket.
#18 - Speed
After Hughes took a picture of the two of them in a potentially compromising position, the only thing that saved him from certain death was that he could run faster than they could and was able to hide the film.
#19 - Wind
"Since when do you know how to knit?" he demanded as he watched her wind the pile of yarn that had once been a partially finished sweater into a ball.
#20 - Freedom
If he'd had the freedom to pursue her, they'd have probably been married and had at least two children by now.
#21 - Life
He had planned to be in the military for the rest of his life, but had never dreamed that she might become a part of that as well.
#22 - Jealousy
Barry saw the relief on her face when the guy in the army uniform showed up, and couldn't help but envy the man who already had his little missy's heart.
#23 - Hands
In his darkest moments, he feared that she would see him for what he truly was - a man with the blood of a nation on his hands.
#24 - Taste
He had a reputation as a womanizer, but she still stood by him; there was no accounting for taste.
#25 - Devotion
Her interest in the army extended only to the aspects of it which affected her and the one she had sworn to protect.
#26 - Forever
When the day came that they did take their vows, they knew that divorce would never be an option.
#27 - Blood
Her father had been his teacher; alchemy was as much in her blood as it was in his.
#28 - Sickness
When he woke up, he was surprised to find out that she had sat with him all through the worst of his fever, though when he asked her a direct question about it, she said that she was simply doing her job as his bodyguard.
#29 - Melody
Music had never featured prominently in their relationship; their song consisted of gunfire, explosions, and the sounds of mayhem.
#30 - Star
He was a rising star in the Amestrian military, but that wasn't the reason why she followed him so closely.
#31 - Home
She had never thought that she would see Eastern Headquarters become a home, or that he would become the head of a family, even if it was for the sake of the two orphaned brothers who had landed in their midst.
#32 - Confusion
She held his hand so that, even though he was delirious, he could, on some level, know that she was there.
#33 - Fear
When the two of them barged into the emergency ward looking for Edward and Alphonse, they were both too worried to notice that the staff thought they were the boys' parents.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
Thunderstorms had always scared her, but when she watched them with him, they never seemed quite so bad.
#35 - Bonds
Hughes had told him for years that he needed to find a wife; what his friend hadn't realized, though, was that he had already found her.
#36 - Market
She found out he could cook the day they ran into each other at the butcher's shop and he was arguing with the man over the quality of the ground chuck.
#37 - Technology
It was bad enough that Fullmetal called him a glorified lighter with gloves, but, dammit, did she really have to laugh when he said it?
#38 - Gift
Every year on her birthday, a neatly wrapped present and a box of good chocolates would appear on her desk, with an unsigned card and no obvious clue as to the identity of the sender.
#39 - Smile
Her face is burning with the embarrassment of his having simply walked up and kissed her with all the passion that she hadn't known was there, but the goofy smile on her face is a near-match for the one on his.
#40 - Innocence
Sometimes when she'd catch him napping in his office, she'd stop and marvel at just how innocent he looked when he was asleep.
#41 - Completion
Just the thing to make a bad day complete, she thought as the sound of a bawdy drinking song sung in four different keys drifted out of his office.
#42 - Clouds
He couldn't help but smile when he saw her looking out the window rather than focusing on her own paperwork; it wasn't every day he caught her with her head in the clouds.
#43 - Sky
"It always rains when I come to visit Maes," he told her as they walked through the cemetary beneath a clear blue sky.
#44 - Heaven
If this isn't heaven, it's the next best thing, he decided, a blissed-out smile on his face as her fingers massaged away the tension in his shoulders.
#45 - Hell
Three hours later, when the power went out and made his misery complete, he decided that hell was being trapped in an elevator with Hawkeye and Fullmetal.
#46 - Sun
When his eyes opened a few hours after the sun came up on that second day, she ducked into the bathroom and cried with relief that she hadn't failed him after all.
#47 - Moon
He had been over the moon when he'd first heard of the Elric brothers and their genius for alchemy, but hadn't expected to find an unconscious, badly maimed child and a steel golem instead.
#48 - Waves
Fire was beautiful when it washed over everything like water at the beach, and he always saw it most vividly in his nightmares.
#49 - Hair
Aside from the Warehouse 13 incident, the only problem with her bringing Black Hayate to work with her was that the dog's hair got into everything.
#50 - Supernova
With the red stone ring on his hand, his range increased exponentially, and with a snap of his fingers, the air for miles burned with the rage of an exploding star.
