A/N: This series of drabblets was inspired partly by R.W. Grimm (great author; check her out!) and partly by my listening to music way too much. Songs have been chosen from my CDs and downloaded collection. Most drabbles will be romance, most pairings will be Royai. SPOILERS for manga (and possibly for anime) abound. Oh, and beware dorky artists like Ricky Martin. Honestly, I didn't buy the CD, someone gave it to me.
Disclaimer: I don't own FMA, nor do I own the song titles.
Chapter 1: Take Me Away (Avril Lavigne)
Pairing: Roy/Riza
Spoilers: Manga ch. 40
Words: 224
Her life, it seemed, had become monotonous. Every day she would rise, feed the dog, shower, dress, go to work, eat lunch, work some more, go home, eat dinner, sleep. There was nothing to entertain her, to spice things up. Black Hyate was good for company and a few laughs, but he couldn't take away all of her pain and longing.
Sometimes she wanted to escape, flee to a far-away country…perhaps to Xing where she can live with Maria Ross. Maybe that would add some excitement. But deep within her heart she knew that no matter how bad things seemed, no matter how desperate she became, she could never leave him. He was everything to her: her hope, her idol, her love, her life. And he loved her too, but they had to be careful. If anyone ever found out about the two of them, they'd be discharged or dead.
Despite the danger, there came times when Riza would get overwhelmed with it all. If ever she felt she couldn't continue, she knew she could just slip through the dark streets of Central to Roy's apartment and request one simple thing: "Take me away." And he would. She would find herself in pure ecstasy underneath his rock-hard body. For an hour she could forget all her troubles and pretend she was far, far away.
