All this time, and you have no idea.
It's a wonder you haven't figured it out yet; how I feel about you. All these years, I've been beside you, behind you, below you, always loving you. You haven't noticed.
I've been starting to wonder if you ever will.
In all honesty, it's not that hard to figure out how I feel about you. In fact, in one look, a Miss Winry Rockbell figured it out.
"You're in love with him."
"Who?"
"The colonel."
"My superior? Colonel Mustang?"
"That's the one, the one that always picks on Edward for being short. You're completely enamored with him."
"Miss Rockbell, I think you have no idea what you're talking about."
"Tut-tut, don't be nasty if I tell you what you already know. And plus, any woman who can put up with the colonel like you can has to be in love with him."
"I'm sorry, Miss Rockbell. It seems that this paperwork has snuck up on me. I must be left alone now."
"…Then why do those papers say, 'For Roy Mustang' on them?"
So you see, it's not quite that had to figure out.
What I don't understand…is why it is taking you so long for you to see?
Can't you see?
Can't you see it in my eyes, when I look at you? How much I love you?
Can't you see it in the way I smile when you say something to me? The way I jump every time you need something done?
Can't you see it in the way I want to protect you? Not just from a lower-ranking officer to her superior…I couldn't bear it if you were to suddenly disappear.
All these feelings, all these signs, and you still can't see.
You, the infamous Roy Mustang, the womanizer.
And you can't see the woman right in front of you. Waiting, wanting. You can't see the woman who has only ever loved you.
You can't see.

Note: Random. Sorry if Riza seems out of character, I never actually pay attention to her and I've never actually liked this pairing. But, this just came into my mind as unrequited love. I find that so heartbreaking. If I get positive reviews, maybe I'll just make this a little 10 chapter drabble fiction. Possibly different pairings... hmm. Well, just a thought. Coming out of my writers block here. Feedback is appreciated!
