A/N: Gah!! I am sooo sorry I took forever with this, I haven't had much time on the computer and I don't really like this story so I am kind of putting it last on my to do list, so sorry. I was waiting for someone to send me a pm for not updating yet, but sadly it doesn't look like people care that much…oh well. I don't really care. I have no idea when the next chapter will be up so just be patient.
Disclaimer: If I owned FMA, I would not waste my time writing fanfictions. Don't get me wrong, I love fanfictions, but if I owned it…sadly it belongs to Hiromu Arakawa.
ROY POV
I got to work annoyingly early the next day, so naturally Riza was surprised.
"Good Morning sir didn't expect you to be here so early." She said.
"There's nothing good about it Lieutenant." I grumbled, I didn't get any sleep last night and she was inadvertently responsible. I spent most of the night trying to figure out how to ask her out when I decided to just be blunt about it.
"Well, there's a new stack of paperwork to be done, so you might as well get an early start on it." She suggested, pointing to the pile on my desk. I groaned inwardly and sat down. I sat there for who knows how long when I realized that Maes would be coming in soon. Just then the door burst open.
"Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear." I muttered as Maes approached me.
"So Roy, get yourself a wife yet? I mean Gracia and I were talking about that last night, how you were so afraid of commitment and all the-"
"Ugh! Maes I am not afraid of commitment and is it really your business whether or not I have or want a wife?" I asked. I wanted him to leave, so I could do what I was trying to do in the first place, except that he kept interrupting! Quite ironic now that you think about it, he was preventing me from doing exactly what he wanted me to do in the first place.
"Well, this is a special circumstance and I personally think that because I am your friend I am merely obligated to he-" Maes was cut off by the door opening, and a young major stuck his head in saying-
"Brigadier General Sir, you are wanted by Lt. Scoff immediately." He said, saving me from a conversation with this mad man. Maes sighed disappointed and left closing the door behind him. Inside I was having a field day, and I as went back to work I thought of a way I could ask her. Of course! I forgot, I could ask her at lunch time!
I quick thought up an idea and said to her, "Lieutenant? Would you please stay and eat lunch here, I have some questions I need to go over with you." She looked puzzled but agreed. I looked up at the clock and waited for the hands to strike twelve.
Finally it was lunch and I walked over to Riza's desk, not sure how to begin.
"What exactly do you need help on sir?" she asked curious. I looked down unsure.
"Uh well…I actually….just um…wanted to ask you something…kind of…personal…" Jeez, what was wrong with me? Stammering, blushing, I never acted this way!
"Fine, what do you want sir." She sighed, looking up at me a little annoyed.
"Um, I was uh…wondering if you would like to accompany me…to dinner tonight?" I asked, rushing the last part. I felt her penetrating gaze on me and tried to turn away but she grabbed my arm to prevent me from doing so.
"Well, jeez. You don't have to be all embarrassed. You're acting like a teenage boy asking his crush out. What happened to 'Playboy Roy'?" she said teasingly.
"Wait a minute, does that mean yes?" I asked excited. She just laughed, and what a beautiful laugh it was. I didn't get to hear it very often.
"Yes, I would very much so like to go with you." She said, even dropping the professional tone. Something she never did. I cheered inwardly, but on the outside smirked and walked back to my desk.
A/N: I feel like barfing. Blech, so anyways I think maybe one more chapter…I don't know if it will be two. I can see two, so right now I will say two more chapters. I promise it will turn funny in the next chapter. As always, review, all comments welcomed, even flames. Though try to refrain from flames…please? I already know this story sucks; I don't need anyone else telling me that.
