AN: I do not own Fullmetal alchemist. This is going to be called Bross (Brosh and Ross) 8P.

Maria Ross had never craved a knight in shining armor or a high castle and a handsome prince. No. Oh, no. Maria Ross wanted to play with guns and join the army. After eighteen years of girly agony she was admitted to the Military Academy. Finally she could play with guns to her hearts content and wear only pants and cut her hair short!

By the end of her second year in the full-blown military force she was a second lieutenant and nothing had changed. Well that was a lie because now she had a best friend. This particular best friend was very like Maria herself except for the fact that she loved someone, that someone being Roy Mustang. She felt horrible for her friend. Riza Hawkeye had to follow someone around who she loved and who loved her back and was forbidden to have anything happen from there.

Maria Ross refused to love until she saw him. Slightly older then she was but lower in rank: Sergeant Denny Brosh. He wasn't like the other morons in the military. He was sensitive and caring, two emotions that she thought she would never find in a man. She was even more amazed when this man followed her everywhere whether it was because he was her subordinate or not.

After a strait five months of working together they both new everything about each other. Maria was heartbroken when she had to run away to Xing. For her, a few months in this new country felt years. For him back in Amestris nothing was different. Both regretted not telling the other that they loved them.

Sergeant Denny Brosh thought he would faint when he heard her voice on the radio. She was alive and well. That Colonel had not burned her alive. Struggling to keep his emotions in check he went immediately to the radio station. She was in danger but that was her life.

She sat at the cafe table smiling as he struggled to propose to her now that the fraternization laws had been abolished. There was one set of words that she had never heard and now was too impatient to wait any longer to hear. She tossed her arms around his neck, "Shut up and say that you love me!"

Maria Ross didn't feel horrible for her friend anymore nor was she afraid of giving or receiving love. She knew what it felt like now to be simply head over heals for someone and the agony of staying away. The bundle in her arms squirmed in protest as she heaved a deep sigh.

Denny came into the room smiling what might have been the world's largest smile. He stared down at his wonderful wife and newborn son and was glad he had given his love to her. She would be forever his. She was his one his only true love. She was his sky and earth, his heaven and hell.

"We will call him Roy," they said in unison. If it weren't for him this wonderful moment would not be happening. She would be dead and he would never have loved. If it weren't for Roy Mustang their feelings would have been hidden forever.
