Drabble #100: Until that Day

One day the laws would change and their relationship would no longer be a problem. With that invisible wall between them knocked down there would be nothing holding them back.

One day he would do it. He would get up the courage to do what he never pictures himself doing. He was a bachelor through and through and often enjoyed it. He had had countless women, and never saw himself settling down with any of them. But this woman was different, and one day he would ask her to marry him.

He would be wearing black and looking very sharp with his hair combed back, and she would be absolutely stunning in her white gown and her blonde hair all done up in curls. They would face each other before the alter and tell each other of their undying love, and he would mean every word of it with all his heart and soul. Everyone would be there to witness it; his family and her family, Havok, Breda, Falman, and Fuery. Armstrong would be sitting in the pews with teary eyes and a box of tissues. Edward and Alphonse Elric would be there as well, and of course Alphonse would have his body back. And by his side the whole time would be Hughes, his best friend and best man, grinning like an idiot. As soon as it was all done he would jump at her and kiss her passionately, holding her close to him because he loves her and can never get enough. They would break the kiss, the first one their new lives together, and he would place his forehead against hers. They would look into each others eyes and smile ear to ear, and he would fall for her all over again. Only then would they remember their audience and turn to face them, her hand in his forever.

One day he would wake up in his bed just as he did every morning, but that morning his first image would be her. She would be sleeping peacefully on her side, arm cradling her head in her slumber, back to him. Her golden hair would glow in the morning hues cast from the open windows, falling gently over her shoulders to the silk laden bed. And he would smile because she was wonderful and she was his. Then he would curl up behind her, wrap her in his arms and kiss her cheek. She would stir lightly and mumble something incoherent before drifting back off to sleep. He would think back to the times when she woke up at the crack of dawn, leaving him to sleep the morning away by himself, because if they were to show up to work together all sorts of rumors would fly. He would be happy that that was no longer the case.

One day they would be able to bicker like an old married couple. Sure, they already sort of did that, but it would be different. They would argue about different things. Now they fought about paperwork and miniskirts, but one day they would fight about whether or not the couch looked better against the wall by the door or over near the windows. One day they would fight about who got the last blueberry muffin for breakfast and who had to make some toast. And one day they would fight about what to name their unborn child. She would want one name, and he would want another. She would throw both ideas out the window and propose another, and he would counter it with a second idea of his own. At this she would yell at him to let the pregnant moody woman have her way, and he would give her that cocky grin of his, kiss her cheek, and tell her that he would leave the name picking in her capable hands. And one day the child would be born, and he/she would be beautiful in every way imaginable. On this day he would finally understand Hughes' obsession with his family.

One day all of this would come to pass, he made a promise to himself, and even to her though not in nearly as many words, nor as detailed. But until that day he was content sitting at his desk, dodging his paperwork, and stealing glances at her from across the room.

Authors Notes: Finally! Another drabble written! I started writing this when I was visiting my best friend in Manhattan; I was sitting at her roommate's desk on a roll while she wrote her Chemistry research paper at her desk right next to me, but then her roommate actually showed up. This girl is such a ditz! And she was so loud and had her friends over and all that jazz and I just couldn't concentrate anymore, I seriously kept rereading the same sentence 10 times in a row! It was so annoying and I gave up. But I finally got off my lazy bum and finished it, and now I present it to everyone here

Silverwitch07: I'm really happy you enjoyed it! I loved the last line too! Hope to keep you as happy with future fics. –Big smile-

HollyWriter: Great to hear from you again! I like RoyXMaes as well, though that pairing seems to get less fandom which is just sad. But I guess considering you aren't a big fan of RoyXRiza and you like it, then I must be doing a good job. You're reviews obviously mean a lot to me.

Lovely Flower: You're English is wonderful! I mean, I studied Spanish for 7 years in school and still can't speak an ounce of it, haha! Thanks for the review!

C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only: Yes… I think all females can relate to Riza in that drabble… Men can be so dense sometimes!

Shadow Dreamer 27: I agree that the first one was better. But I guess they can't all be masterpieces. I shall try harder next time. Hopefully this one is ok. And I'm happy to make you laugh, that was my goal!

Rizahawkeye21: You have no idea how much it means to me to hear that from you. I love your writing so much and I feel like I just got a really big award and met my idol!

MoonStarDutchess: Haha, Yes Ma'am!
