Birthday Girl- pure RoyXRiza fluff!

OK. This is my first FMA fic. Actually, it's the first fic that I think is good enough to put here. I have several others, mostly drabbles that I might put up. But here is a Roiai fic for all you Roy and Riza lovers. Enjoy!

I don't own Roy and Riza…. Sorry… If I did, the show would be more fun… oh well.

Chapter 6

"Wow. That was the most delicious food I've eaten in a long time…" Riza said, and Roy nodded his head.

"Thank you. And thank you Gracia for helping cook it. Any way I can convince you to help with the dishes?" he smiled.

"Maybe Maes will. I can't get him to do them at home with me; he might do them with you. Right honey?" she shot a narrow glance in his direction.

"Uh… sure! I'd love to do dishes! Roy, let's go!" he jumped up and stacked the plates and silverware, then rushed out of the room. Roy followed shortly afterwards with a few of the other random dishes they had used.

"Riza, please tell me, would you date Roy if he asked you? I have no idea why he asked me to help him cook dinner other than it is your birthday. Did he say anything before we got here?" She asked, trying not to seem prying.

"I don't know… If he were to ask me out on a date, I don't think I would go. We aren't allowed to have relationships within the military; they would probably transfer me if we did date." She replied.

"Oh. Ok. I understand now." Gracia lowered her eyes and leaned back in her chair. Elysia had gotten up from the table and taken a few scraps over to where Black Hayate was lying.

"If one of us wasn't in the military, I might consider it. But we're both here, and we can't risk losing our jobs." She said as she too lowered her eyes and looked down at her hands.

"Well, I think I'm gonna head in and see how bad those boys have messed up the office kitchen. I'll be back in a few minutes." With that, Gracia got up and left the room. Elysia trotted over from feeding Hayate.

"Miss Hawee? Why don't you like Mr. Roy?" she asked in her innocent child voice. Riza laughed.

"Why don't you just call me Miss Riza? That will be easier for you." She said, avoiding the child's question. "Did Hayate like his treats?"

"Yes! He ate them in one chomp!" she reached over and patted him on the head. "Mommy said that one day we might get a doggie. I want one just like him."

"There are lots of dogs in the world; I'm sure you can find one that you like." She replied.

"But Miss Riza, why don't you like Mr. Roy? He's really nice to me. And he brings me candy sometimes. I like him a lot. You should too." Elysia said, grabbing Hayate's collar and dragging him out of the room to run up and down the hall. Moments after she was left alone in the room, Roy walked back in. He had a wet spot on his shirt and was trying to dry it up with a towel, wiping it back and forth.

"Here sir- Roy, let me do that. All you're doing is spreading it." She walked over to him and took the towel out of his hands and began to blot the water mark. Through his shirt she could feel his hard washboard stomach and she ever so slightly shivered. Satisfied with her work, she handed him the towel.

"There, you see? Blot the mark and it'll come out. Wipe it and you'll spread it." She said, matter-of-factly. As she went to sit down again, Roy grabbed her hand and pulled her back towards him. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and looked into her eyes…

a/n: yea! I'm so excited about what happens next!
