Nosebleed
Disclaimer: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist or ANY of the characters, ever.
Pairing: Maes+Gracia
"Oh, Roy, you can get whatever girl you want. Are you sure you can fix me up with her?" Hughes said nervously, tugging on the Major's sleeve.
"Relax Maes, you'll be fine. I'll ask her for you, no worries." Roy sighed and brushed his hair back, looking hopelessly on his best friend. Maes let go of his sleeve and started to wring his hands, sweating with anticipation.
The first time he saw her, he was walking to the photography store to get more film. He really wasn't paying attention to where he was going; he was busy doting upon his new camera.
SLAM!
The door to the local flower shop had swung open, slamming right into his face. "Ow!" He screamed, rubbing his nose. It was bleeding, not broken, but it still hurt.
"Oh my! I am so sorry sir! Can I help you?" He had his eyes closed, so he couldn't see the woman, but her voice was young, around his age.
"Miss, really, I'm fine!" He said, waving his hands in defense, slowly creeping his eyes open. His glasses had been knocked off, but she was so close to his face, his bleeding turned from a matter of injury to embarrassment. She had beautiful green eyes that were framed by brown hair. She was holding a bunch of lilacs and other flowers in her arms, making the picture seem almost like a reenactment of a shojo manga frame.
"Oh, you're bleeding! Let me help you with that!" She set the flowers down and reached into the pocket of her dress, pulling a white handkerchief. She quickly pressed it to his nose, tilting his head back forcefully, making his head spin. Eventually the bleeding had stopped, and he was internally debating whether the sparkles that framed her kind, lovely, face was because he was in love, or dizzy. He still couldn't quite remember what happened next, she must have handed him his glasses and left, because she was suddenly gone, like a delicate angel that simply flew away.
And this was when he was happy he was in investigation. He figured out her name was Gracia, that she loved flowers and wanted a family, everything he could find. And now Roy was about to ask her if she wanted to meet him. How could he just simply walk into the flower shop, acting as if he was not walking to a goddess? But he didn't move, and Roy came back just has he went, with a relaxed smirk and hands in pockets.
"She said yes." He said simply, and continued walking. He sat there shocked, jaw dropped, and then it came to his realization.
She had said yes.
She walked calmly out of the store and walked over to Maes, who was dancing with glee, next to a very irritated Roy. All she did was laugh, before she touched his shoulder. He immediately stopped, and gazed into her green eyes, a blush forming over his cheeks.
"Seven tomorrow, then?" She said happily, a blush tainting her pale cheeks.
"Se-Se-Seven." He said with a nod. She smiled and waved goodbye, and Maes hasn't shut up since.

Authors Note: A sad attempt at Hughes+Gracia, unfortunately, I don't know much about their relationship. I've only seen up to Disc 2 of the DVD's. Being in Germany does that to you. -shakes fist at PX- Anyways hoped you liked it!
PS: The rhyming was totally unintentional in the first two chapters. Sayonara!
