Roy's Point Of View
It was so strange. She was probably the most beautiful girl I had ever been with. Her hair was soft and her eyes were deep, but I could never keep my mind on her. It would always drift to someone else. Who it was, I didn't know, but I was determined to find them. When she invited me in to her house for 'coffee', I refused.
So it really didn't come as a surprise when she called me the next day during work and told me that it was over. I wasn't that affected, though.
I was also really strange that Elric was staring at me in the halls. When it became apparent that he wanted my attention, I made sure to ignore him. It was so great to see him get all riled up.
But he never did.
He would just walk off, as though he was disappointed.
This was what really disturbed me.
He also made an attempt at coming to my office as much as possible. That was weird. He would just show up unannounced, to deliver information that he had either already told me, or that had no importance whatsoever.
There was this one day where I went into my office, late of course, to have a meeting with who else but the Fullmetal Alchemist. I looked around and spotted him lying on the couch, asleep. He looked kind of cute when he wasn't pissed at me.
I shook my head. That was not a good thought.
I stared down at him as he awoke, and upon seeing me, he sat up fast.
"What," he collected the papers on the coffee table, "I was tired." He thrust them into my chest, causing me to step back a little. As he began to run out, I grabbed his shoulder, not even knowing why. I looked down at him, not even knowing what I was feeling, but all I knew was that I wasn't mad at him, or annoyed with him, or even teasing him. It was something else. He looked at me longingly, and I realized that this was very awkward so I gave him a mean stare again and said the first thing on my mind.
"Are these completely finished?"
He stammered out a, "Y-yeah."
He stood there in my grip for a while before I pulled my hand off of him and he darted out of there like there was no tomorrow.
A few hours later, I began thinking; did Fullmetal have a crush on me?
But of course, I brushed this thought away, he was a man, and I was too.
Soon after this, though, details came to the mysterious girl that was always in my thoughts.
Blonde hair. Riza, maybe? No. The girl was too short. Winry?
I brushed that thought away. I mean, it's Winry after all.
I went over the thoughts.
Golden hair…
Short…
…
"FULLMETAL!"
Let's just say I panicked. I peered out the crack in the door, hoping that there was no one looking. I saw no one coming down either hall, so I did what any normal man in my situation would have done.
I slammed my head on the wall several times.
"WHAT. IS. WRONG. WITH. YOU. ROY?"
After several minutes of freaking out I came to my senses. This wasn't as bad as it seemed. I sat at my desk and decided that this would be my secret.
Over the next few weeks, Fullmetal continued to eye me in the halls, and I tried my best to ignore him. It wasn't as easy as before.
…and then there was this one day, when the worst happened.
I was actually working in my office when I heard a snicker behind my side door. I looked up slightly, wondering who in hell would be there, since that door was virtually unused. I went back to work soon after and was interrupted by the door slamming open.
With my luck, who would be there but Edward Elric? I expected him to yell something, but he had a weird look on his face, so I gave him a questionable look. He began to slowly approach me, and I looked down at my work, hoping he would decide to suddenly leave.
No. He actually did the exact opposite. Of course, I asked, "Is there a reason you're here, Fullmetal?" My voice was giving away that I was nervous.
"Oh, no," He whispered, getting all the closer to me, making me really nervous, "I just wanted to drop in."
I could feel drops of sweat slowly form on my forehead, "What's wrong, Roy?" He whispered into my ear sharply, "Nervous?"
This time, I didn't respond. I didn't want to screw up.
"What's wrong, Roy?" I could feel his breath on my ear, "Do you like me?"
That was it. I could stand it anymore. I turned my face to his and said, "Yes." Then, I leaned far too forward and our lips touched. The surprised look on his face was the same as the one I felt in my head. Instead of puling back, though, I pushed in farther. Was this what I really wanted?
I broke off and grabbed his shoulders. "Yes, Elric," I couldn't believe what was happening, "I like you. A lot. I love your hair, your eyes, you."
"Good," He said, with a soft look in his eyes, "'Cause I like you a lot, too." He leaned up and kissed me. I realized halfway through what had just happened and I pushed him away. I stumbled back so much that I fell over and as I got up, I managed to get out, "Forget what I said," I backed out of the room, "I was lying."
I ran out of the building as fast as I could.
