AN: and here comes another one. And still so super short. But after re-reading all my other stories, I found out that they were somewhat connected. So in sequence, "Gesture" comes first, then "Odd" then "Scent" followed by "Excuses," "Words" then lastly "Nothing."
ODD

'…Tell me, has anything odd happened to you recently? '
'What do you mean, odd?'
'Unusual. Deviating from the customary. Something outside the usual parameters of normalcy. An occurrence of unprecedented weird.'
~Jasper Fforde (Lost in a Good Book)
In more ways than one, a couple can always show how they feel towards each other. But in the case of Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye, 'couple' was the last word on their minds.
But things will always be rushed, in the case of love. New lovers are always excited and their hearts burn like fire from within. But their are times when one feels shy, the other simple overjoyed, and sometimes, it feels odd. Not that they didn't like their current status. after all those years, way back when he was his father's student up until he was a Colonel in the military. It was always "Mr. Mustang," "Sir" or "Colonel." But never Roy.
Hearts will always find a way to communicate. when one falls silent, the other speaks. When one feels down, the other lifts spirits. Though rules govern most of the freedom of life, they were always, and occasionally, meant to be broken. To hell with fraternization.
And so that is how love is. It nurtures and grows as the years flow by. And for a couple of strangers turned childhood friends, turned comrade turned lover, LOVE has never been any sweeter. And so 'couple' came at the top of the list for two engaged lovers. And to think, they would soon be one, makes their hearts pound in joy and excitement.
"How does it feel?"
"Feel what Sir?"
"To be in love…"
"Odd. Very odd."
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it…"
thanks for taking the time to read :]
