*Sits down to write a KH fanfic*

*Writes angsty Bross fanfics instead*

Ok but seriously this made me sad, it's set a couple of days after Mustang 'kills' Maria Ross.

I love Denny so much, ok? He's just like a puppy.

FMA belongs to Arakawa-sensei.

Denny curled up, numbness spreading through him.

"Second Lieutenant Maria Ross is dead."

He couldn't believe it. Maria wasn't a murderer. He knew she wasn't, and he had tried to explain!

But the Colonel wouldn't listen...

3 days ago

Edward walked into the office, his eyes dead and his cheek bruised, with Colonel Mustang immediately in tow.

"Colonel! Major! Where... what happened to her?" Denny had tried not to sound scared or anxious, but he couldn't hold the emotions back.

Ed had looked him dead in the eye and spoken "She's dead... the bastard killed him..."

It couldn't sink in at first, until Roy had stepped forward with a proud tilt to his chin, "Second Lieutenant Maria Ross is dead. She resisted my actions, so I acted on orders. I killed her."
Denny turned his green eyes to Edward again, noticing the bruise in more detail. It clicked immediately.

Mustang had hit the Fullmetal Alchemist, probably because they boy was trying to keep Maria alive.

That was when Denny snapped.

"How... could you!? I thought the two of us were your friends! You can't just kill one of your friends, no matter what she might have done! She wasn't even there on the night Hughes died! You just want to call revenge on anyone you can find because you think that Hughes used to be your bosom buddy or some shit like that! Well do you think Hughes would be happy with this? With you killing? Do you think he has some massive grin on his face wherever the poor soul is because you decided to off a woman that did nothing-"

A cold slap hit Denny across the face and he immediately raised a hand to press against his throbbing cheek.

Mustang stood before the man with a new fire in his eyes,"Don't. You. Ever. Talk about what Maes Hughes did and didn't want. I knew that man more than you ever will, you got that!?"

Denny lowered his hand and stood straight, so that he was as tall as the Flame Alchemist, "And I knew Maria Ross more than you ever will. And she is not a murderer!"

It was then that Alex Armstrong had entered the building, his usual cheeriness now completely gone.

Denny straightened his back, then turned and walked out of the room. Any moment now, it would sink in. The tears would come, and crying in front of Colonel Mustang was unacceptable.

"Denny, you've been in here an awful long time... do you want to come out? We're making a cake!"

Denny shook his head slowly, then turned to look at his brother, "Nah, I'm fine. I just... need some time."

The young boy sat on the edge of Denny's bed, eyes fixing on his brother, "That woman that you sad was killed... did you know her?"

"Yeah, she was my closest friend in the military." Denny choked, biting his lip. Crying in front of his brother was almost as bad as crying in front of Mustang.

"Did you... did you love her?" The boy's voice spoke up quietly, as if afraid to talk up, but his eyes were fixed on Denny with not a hint of fear.

Denny hesitated for a good moment before replying, his tears escaping again.

"... Yes... yeah, I think I did."

That...

Was...

Really bad...

I'm sorry, I just have feeling about these two and it was just yesterday I realised how much he must have cried because of her dying.

And then, just to point out, when the nation-wide transmutation circle goes off and he loses her again!

*Rolls away*

Anyway, thanks for reading! And review, please!
