RoyxMaes
It was the rarest thing in the world for Maes to kiss him. Maes would decide to do so at the strangest of moments.
One time Roy was waist deep in paperwork with deadlines only hours away. All it took was for Maes to enter the room for Roy to explode. Maes was overflowing with excitement to show his best friend new photos of his wife when the swears flooded from Roy's lips.
Once the 'I'm too damn busy to talk's and 'I'll never get all this shit done's were finished Roy finally signed and used any of the will power he had left not to shout.
Instead of whipping out his latest album, Maes walked around the desk, cupped Roy's face in his hands, and pressed their lips together.
Not only had it knocked Roy completely off guard it hit him so hard his mind went utterly blank.
Without an iota of stress Roy was able to finish his work.
Roy knew Maes couldn't love him. No, Maes was far too wrapped up in his wife and daughter to love Roy. Gracia had gotten to the man first.
It was only years later that Roy received another kiss from Maes. The only person Roy was truly able to trust was Maes. He was the only person Roy told about his plans.
There was an anti-awkward silence, Roy moving close and attempting to hiss Maes, and Maes dodging Roy entirely. Roy didn't have to ask why. He already understood. What he didn't understand was why Maes shook him awake almost a week later, crushed his lips against Roy's then left the room.
Roy didn't sleep that night.
It didn't bother Roy that Maes didn't love him the way Roy saw him love Gracia. No matter how much he loved Maes, Roy didn't have what it took to break up that beautiful family. He wouldn't even if he did.
So what Roy does is wait. He waits for another chance to receive a kiss from Maes.
