Lies of Love
"I dare you to flirt with Ling." Winry smirked at Lan Fan.

Riza laughed when Lan Fan made a face, trudging over to Ling. Once over there she smiled shyly at him, a hint of blush on her cheeks. Winry and Riza looked at each other and snickered into their hands.

"Young Master!" Lan Fan sang, batting her eyelashes flirtatiously.

Ling's eyes bulged slightly. "Bu... I..."

She pouted. "What? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No no no no no no no no! I think you're really..." Sexy. "Beautiful." Ling said quickly.

"Do you love me?" Lan Fan whispered, dreading the truth.

"...Yes." Ling murmured.

Her heart fluttered, but only for a moment before she crushed that idea with the thought of a lie. Was he just playing some game to amuse himself?

He grinned. "I, Ling Yao, young prince of Xing, love you, Lan Fan, my lovely bodyguard!"

Lan Fan sighed. "You don't have to spoil me with stupid lies, Young Master."

Ling frowned at her. "I really and truely love you. Do I need to yell it out to the world, Lan Fan?"

"No." Lan Fan muttered, rubbing her arm.

"Do YOU love ME, Lan Fan" Ling questioned with interest.

The thought of Fuu giving her a disapproving stare at the very thought of loving the Prince stopped her from telling him the truth. Tears brimmed her eyes as she looked at Ling's eager face as he waited for her to answer.

"No, Young Master." Lan Fan lied, looking away from his crushed face.

His heart broke, he was so sure she had loved him but he was wrong. Was she just playing some game to amuse herself?

"Bu... Lan Fan... I..." Ling stammered.

She whipped around to face him, hiding the pain deep down. Her heart cracked as she lared at him. "Why do you always have to be so serious, Prince? Don't you know how to have fun and loosen up?"

He flinched. "But I love you. Can't you just try? One time is all I'm asking. Please. If not for your Prince, then for your best friend. Please, Lan Fan."

"Try what?" Lan Fan asked, a single tear slipping down her cheek.

"Try to love me," Ling whispered, wiping the tear away gently, "like I love you."

Again the urge to tell him the truth was prevented at the thought of Fuu slapping her. Lan Fan's stomach twisted uncomfortably and she clutched her torso absently and winced.

"Lan Fan, you have saved me many times, you put your life at risk, you've even lost your arm for me. If you were brave enough to do those things I'm certain you can be brave enough to try to love me." Ling continued.

Lan Fan shook her head. "I may have been brave enough to do those things, it's my job, but I can not dishonor my family. If Grandfather were here he would slap me for thinking about it. I apologize, Young Master."

Ling rolled his eyes before falling to the ground with a dramatic sigh and, with a groan, Lan Fan sat down next to him. She turned away ever so slightly so he couldn't see the blush reddening her cheeks or the tears streaking her face. They sat in silence for a few minutes, thinking the conversation over.

"What would happen if I, you know, tried to... love... you?" Lan Fan almost choked on the words as they made their way out of her mouth.

Ling laughed, grabbing her hands. "Easy question! I'd cherish you forever! Please, Lan Fan, just give me a chance. Don't make me beg."

Lan Fan smiled. "Awe, such a gentleman. I Lan Fan, royal bodyguard, love you, Ling Yao, young prince of Xing!"

Ling gasped. "Really?"

Lan Fan rolled her eyes. "No, I just said it to hear my own voice. Of course I mean it, Ling!"

Kissing him on the cheek she leaped to her feet and skipped back over to Winry and Riza with a smug smirk as their mouths gaped. Quickly she turned back to Ling and fluttered her eyelashes and blew him a kiss before turning back to the women.

"And that, ladies, is how you get a date." Lan Fan laughed.

Now, I hope you enjoyed it. I had fun typing it! Now, please review and tell me if you liked it at all. And please start telling me plots for these OneShots since, after this last one I'll be posting soon, I'll be leaving ideas for you to choose... if you want. If I don't get any ideas I'll just continue with mine.
