Hello!
I'm suffering from a horrible combination of diseases such as writer's block, procrastination, lazy, and waaaaaayy too much school work. To be honest with all you guys, I didn't want to write this. I know that kind of sounds crazy, but I had a few ideas of what to write for this theme, and with a title like "Grave" angst could not be avoided. So I wrote this anyway and it turns out I really enjoyed it. It's sad.
Disclaimer: If I owned FmA I wouldn't need to write fan fiction, would I?
004. Grave
She hated looking at it. The headstone cold and gray. The chiseled words held no emotion. Plain. Silent. So unlike him. It had shook her to the core, his death. She had been in a war, had part of a tattoo melted off her back, and had looked death its self in the eye on the Promised Day. But this, by far, had been the worst pain she had ever experienced. God, she loved him so much. He died almost a month ago, yet every day, when she wakes up, the first thing she notices is that Roy is not there. Then she remembers that he will never be there again. And the harsh reality of it all would come and stab her in the chest. That was her morning routine.
Once a week she would return to the graveyard to visit Roy. She moved closer to the headstone and knelt before it, placing her left hand on top. Her wedding ring glistened in the afternoon sun. Riza and Roy had only been married for three years. His death was so sudden. An illness had gone through the region and had taken him with it. She thought of the promise that she made to her self; that is he died, she would die too. Though now, she would never even let that thought cross her mind. She couldn't the thought of taking another innocent life.
She put her hand on her slightly swollen belly and smiled at that damn headstone she hated so much. The headstone that had two dates said ROY MUSTANG. She stood up and smiled because he had left her a gift so great, she could make it.
A/N: Wow. That really is depressing... Thats why I've writen a make-up story! Roy and Riza are married, and the biggest problem they are facing involves the many deaths of their daughter's various goldfish. So go check it out if your looking for somyhing less 'grave'(you see, if Scar had gone around killing people that made bad puns in thier a/ns I whould have died at least twice now).
Thanks for reading,
