AN: Extreme fluffyness...I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
"Aren't they beautiful?" Riza asked her pooch who incessantly sniffed the roses; they were sitting now in a vase. She had done nothing productive yesterday, when she received the roses, except write Christmas cards, she wasn't even done yet. Now, today, she felt…tired? No, no she thought –wistful? Yes, she felt some sort of homesickness weep inside her.
She missed being home with her parents before they had passed away. She used to always bake cookies with her mom and drink cider by the fire with her dad, who'd talk to her about his younger years. They used to always decorate the house in holly and mistletoe, and in garland with red bows. Riza used to even go ice-skating but times change and so do people –now she had a job, no time for fun…
Suddenly she heard another knock but this time it was slow. She walked quietly down the hallway and opened it to find Roy stand before her.
"Hey Riza I was –are you okay?" He asked noticing an absentmindedness glance in her eyes when she watched him, yet she smiled when before him.
"I'm fine but I wanted to apologize about the other day –I didn't mean to"—
"Apologize? Hah, I was just in a bad mood that's all but I was wondering if you wanted to walk with me to the marketplace." He interrupted her sentence.
"Roy," Riza laughed, "Why are you being so nice to me lately?"
He frowned when hearing that –was he a grouch at the office or something, he wondered.
"Well I"—
"I'd love to go." She said.
"Great." He sighed with relief.
"Come in," She left the doorway, "I have to get dressed."
He hadn't even noticed she was still dressed in her pajamas. When entered through her house he saw the roses arranged in a vase and he smiled. He closed the door and leaned against it.
"Oh," She laughed now turning to him with her hand on her hip, he had never seen Riza smile so big.
"Thanks for the roses."
He fell silent –shit, he thought.
"I found this." She walked over to the bouquet and there was receipt and it held Roy's signature. He turned bright red and dug his hands into his pockets, while looking at the floor trying to offer up an excuse. Why was he consistently messing surprises!
"I-I"—
"They're very lovely, Roy, but why did you pay so much for them?"
"Cause your worth it." He blurted and then his eyes got big, I meant to think that, he scolded himself mentally. When he glanced up he saw her staring at him politely and she approached him.
She pecked him on the cheek but when she pulled away he grabbed her cheeks into his hand. He didn't know why he was unexpectedly doing this but had to just do it now –now was the perfect time and he quickly pressed his lips against hers.
At first, Riza was completely astonished, it was just a light peck but it enveloped very deeply…She couldn't stop and found herself wrapping her arms around his neck. Why were they doing this, she wondered, either way she could careless. She's been waiting for him to do something like this.
"Roy?"
"Hmm?" He asked somewhat still rapt, he couldn't stop staring at her.
"Thank-you."
"For what? –Oh oh!" He chuckled as they stared at each other awkwardly.
It took long moments before they started laughing immaturely.
"That was random." He snickered childishly leaning his arm on dining table where the roses sat. Riza was standing folding her arms and she starting laughing again.
"I know…"
They started to sigh but found themselves staring at each other, this time awkwardly –they both wanted to say something for what just happened but all they could do was laugh nervously. She ran her hands through her long blonde hair and Roy began to take a wrinkle out of his brown blazer…
This time, when they laid eyes on each other they instantly they found themselves kissing again.
"This is different." He asked amused.
"Most definitely." She gave a silly laugh before parting their lips "Forgive me, why were you here again?"
"I forgot." He answered sheepishly.
"Good." She said.
"You can help me fill out Christmas cards."
To be honest, I was going to let them wait and kiss on the night of Maes' Christmas party but I figured it make things akward with the proposal being so -so sudden (random). I figured letting them realize that they indeed both still like each other before Roy made his move. Anway, I'll be updating more tonight...hopefully. I hope you liked it.
