A/N: Dedicated to writerauthorguy here! Thanks for the pairing! I think it's just adorable! This drabble takes place before Scieszka was laid off from the library, fyi… And for some reason I think I totally screwed up on the verb tenses here… but right now I don't care! Leave me alone, I'm tired… u.u

PS. If anyone cares, I got a job at the library now too! I'm a Scieszka clone. I even look like her when I'm wearing glasses… O.o;
38. Scieszka x Fuery – Discussion

It was Kain Fuery's one day off that week, and he was spending it in the library. His face was buried in a thick romance novel, but he wasn't really concentrating; there were other things his eyes – and mind – were on.

He saw her coming his way, and he quickly averted his eyes back to the book, trying to bring the jumbled-up words back into focus. A tiny hint of a blush rose past his cheeks and up his forehead to the hairline. Luckily, the reddish tint went unnoticed by the library attendant, the cute girl with brown hair and glasses whom Kain had been watching for the past three hours.

He was too busy trying to concentrate on reading to notice that the girl had walked right up behind him. "Good book, isn't it?" she asked, her face smiling brightly as she leaned down to be face-to-face with the sitting Fuery.

Kain jumped and blushed redder, accidentally losing his page in the romance novel. "Y-yes it is!" he stuttered. His heart was pounding.

"I just love how Andrew and Charlene always seem to get into so much mischief, like that time they got lost in the art museum—"

"Yeah, me too," Fuery added, not having a clue what she was talking about.

The girl smiled again and gave Kain's shoulders a squeeze, formally introducing herself. "My name's Scieszka, sorry for just sneaking up on you like that! But when I saw the book you were reading, I just couldn't resist popping in! That's one of my absolute favorite books. Hey, maybe we should go out for coffee or something sometime? We can discuss the book, that's always fun! I love book discussions; I wish more people would…"

Fuery found his voice after a second and nodded, smiling himself. "Yeah, okay," he said. "I like coffee. A-and books. And you. And books. I like books."

"That's great!" cried Scieszka, not catching Fuery's silly slipup. She clapped her hands together and squealed, "We can go tonight, my shift ends early!"

Fuery nodded. Scieszka grinned, glanced at the clock and sweat-dropped, suddenly remembering that she should be doing her job instead of chatting. And as she ran off, Fuery quickly turned back to page one of the book and started reading as fast as he could, this time actually concentrating on the finer details…

Reviewer Responses!

writerauthorguy: I imagine Sceiszka having an awkward time getting a guy too. n.n She's just that kinda girl, isn't she:D I hope you liked this one, too. Lmao about your "awkward" rant… That is weird. I hate typing the word "awkward" too… Too many w's… I think whoever invented that word should've thrown in some z's too… Thanks for the review!

MetalWing Alchemist:major sweatdrop: Okay, you know what? I lied. Actually, I MISREAD the adultswim website. It's October 8, not September 8, when the new eps start. :bashes head against wall: Stupid me and my not-reading-good skills. : ( So sorry about that! Then again, AS will probably change their schedule 600 times before then… They have a bit of a reputation for it… v.v Ah well. Can't complain. S'long as they show new eps before the next millenium, I guess I'm okay… Glad you liked the last drabble! Thanks for the review!

Sika-Kuriyama: Thankies! n.n I absolutely love Sceiszka, and I am forever indebted to Wind Omega for telling me to write a Scieszka drabble… ugh, I am stupid, I never thought to do it before… Just like I've never done an Elricest drabble either, yet I kinda like that pairing… Hmmmm, go figure. Oh well. Thanks for the review!

K. A. Maples:squees: I know! Isn't Al just awesome? Lyke teh shiznor? (don't ask, I don't know either) I love Al! n.n Not as much as Roy because Roy is the Bishie God, but… yeah… :clears throat: Yay for cuteness and Al! His name kinda looks like that A-1 steak sauce… Thanks for the review!

Fading wind: Yeah, I know, a lot of times my ending lines really suck. Sorry about that. :sweatdrop: I just didn't know how to end it, so I was like, "Okay! Something corny and nonsensical it is!" Meh! I think that's such a weird pairing, Scieszka x Winry… I've seriously never heard of it before until you came along, and it disturbs the hell outta me (maybe because I don't really like Winry… o.o), but one of these days, I think I'll have to write a drabble on it… Just because it's so intriguing… XD Thanks for the review!

Wind Omega: Thank you very much! Scieszka x Al is so adorable… n.n non-yuri Sceiszka fic searching… Good luck with that! I haven't seen many Scieszka fics period! Thanks for the review!
