A/N: I wanted to do something cute… but it kind of turned out a little bit stupid, but what the hell, right? It's a Royai, and everybody loves those:-P hee hee. Please review!

35. Roy x Riza – Paperwork

Mustang took a detour on his way out of the office for the night. Riza Hawkeye was standing outside his door, looking rather melancholy, her normally beautiful amber eyes downcast and lips tugged into a sad frown. Roy did a U-turn and stepped right up next to Riza, casually swinging his arm across her shoulders and pulling her body closer to his.

Riza tried not to gasp, but she was taken by surprise. She hadn't expected Roy to notice her standing there; usually he didn't notice her at all… or so it seemed. Turns out, she was quite mistaken. He noticed her all the time…

"Hey there, what's wrong?" he asked, his thumbs tugging at her cheeks, trying to make her smile. Riza swatted his hands away and let out a breathy laugh. "I… nothing…" she said. Roy looked at her quizically.

"I missed you this afternoon," he said seriously. "Why didn't you come in to yell at me for not doing my paperwork?"

Riza's lip quivered. "B-because… you were actually doing your paperwork, sir. I… I didn't feel the need to come yell at you." Roy frowned.

"Riza… You're always welcome to come into my room and yell at me. Don't let my paperwork get in the way."

He pressed his lips up against Riza's, and Riza, for the first time, didn't feel the need to yell at him.

Reviewer Responses!

writerauthorguy: Aw, man, don't make me squee over your adorably cute pairing :squees anyway: Scieszka x Fuery, I never woulda thought of that:hands you genius pin: I will definitely write one of those! Can't say when it'll be posted, but I will definitely write it! Thank you so much for the idea (and the review)!

TheBlondeWriter: Wow, I think you're one of the first people here besides Valen to call me CK… Yaaaaay, my nickname's getting around. :-P Lol, anyway, man, yeah, Hughes in the shower equals yummy! Hughes and Roy in the shower (together or not, whichever you prefer) equals DOUBLE YUMMY! Damn you. Now you've got me lost in a fantasyland… :bashes head against wall: Gah! Thanks for the review:sweatdrop:

Fading wind: I have no idea how I thought up Havoc x Hughes. Seriously, no frickin' clue. O.o; Geez, now that I think about it, there really was no reason behind that pairing… But ah… I'm glad you liked 'em anyway. n.n And thanks for the luck on drawing. I've gotten much better at drawing Roy-chan. One of these days, I'll have to get a side7 account or a deviantart one and post up my art there… I'm too lazy though… :yawns: Ah well. Thanks for the review!

Valen aka Backstreet: I don't know why you even bother reviewing on here. AS is back and new drabbles are updated there… lol Oh well. Nice to have some AS-company here on FFN:hugs: w00ts for the closet-Roy drabble! Wait a sec… closet… Roy… ha ha… homosexual analogies… Man, I kill myself with my amazingly bad jokes… XDDD Thanks for the review!

Wind Omega: Okay, I'm glad you think so. However, it will be a while before the Sceiszka x Al drabble shows up (it'll be in the "sequel" series to this), since I already have all 50 drabbles for this fic written and then some. But I promise I will write it; it's on my to-do list. Thanks for the idea and the review!

Blackrose Kitsune: You got it right. The point of a "wtf"-drabbles it to make people go "wtf". People tell me I have a knack for doing that… heh heh. Thanks for the review!

Miss DarkRose: I'm younger than Ed and his height… and I'm one of the shortest of my friends… T.T Waaah, all my friends are 5"8 basketball players… And I am the 5"3 ex-cheerleader… ha ha. Glad you enjoyed the drabble; thanks for the review!

MetalWing Alchemist: I would always watch Sailor Moon in the afternoon. And my friend and I would always laugh at her little sister because our baby-sitter (this was way back when I went to a daycare-ish house) wouldn't let her watch it because it had a Y7 rating and she was only 5. XP Ahh, good times… I liked Sailor Mars the best… Before I got hooked on FMA (I sound like I'm advertising for Hukd en Fonix… O.o), I watched Inuyasha… and now I kinda don't watch Inuyasha anymore (FMA 'tis way better). Lmao, yeah, um, the first episode I watched, I think, was "FullMetal vs. Flame", but I only caught like the end half of it or something… and then I was like, "Hm, this is interesting." The first thought that popped into my head was "Ed and Al would be a good pairing…" XDDD Then I was trying to tell my friend about it, and then she says, "Oh, FullMetal-whatever? Isn't that about robots…?" I felt like bashing my head against a large block of cement… robots… Thanks for the review!
