Roses by Moonlight

Chapter One

A.N/ This is my first story about Full Metal Alchemist. I already have the second chapter done (I wrote the whole thing on Saturday, and I've written a few other fanfics this week, including the sequels), but I won't update until I'm done Wedding Day, which is the sequel that comes after the sequel to this, is done. And plus, I have final exams so I'd like to get those off my back first.

Disclaimer: I don't own Full Metal Alchemist, and be glad I don't because then… Actually just be glad I don't its better that way.

Rain. She loves it. He hates it.

She loves it because it brought out the inner beauty of things. It made everything seem clearer, but at the same time more mysterious.

He hates it because it makes him useless. He hates it because it wasn't there when it could have saved so many lives for just one other day in Ishbal.

First Lieutenant Hawkeye and Colonel Mustang were working late again. Actually, none of them were working.

Riza Hawkeye was looking out the window, a dreamy, far away expression on her face. Mustang was busystaring at her.

"Lieutenant?" he asked. The dreamy look left her face, being immediately replaced with her usual one.

"Sir?" she said. Her hand carefully going to her pocket to pull out her gun.

"Nothing, nothing. Go back to work Hawkeye." Riza sighed and went back to work. Mustang went on staring.

'She's so beautiful, if only she let her hair down once in a while though…'

Hawkeye sighed again as she filed the few signed paperwork she had into place. 'He's staring at me again, that's the fifth time today. I wish he'd just stop.'

'But you like it when he does.' A voice in her head said. Riza blushed.

'He's only a friend and my superior to me, nothing more.' She thought.

'You keep telling yourself that, but you don't believe it.' Riza blushed again and swatted the voice away. She looked up.

"Sir? Have you finished your paperwork?" Her eyes narrowing. Roy sighed and shook his head.

"No, I haven't finished. And call me Roy, Riza. Its after hours, no one will know."

"But I'll know… Roy."

Roy smiled at this. 'I love how she says my name. She always says it slowly. Like she's savoring a piece of chocolate.'

'S--Roy? Why are you smiling at me?" she asked, uncomfortable.

'Because he likes you.'

'He'd never think of me that way.'

'Then why does he keep staring at you?' Riza banished the voice away. Mustang stood up.

"Let's go for a walk Riza." Riza frowned at this.

"But you hate the rain s--Roy." She said, almost forgetting to call him Roy out of habit.

"I know," Mustang walked towards her, "But you love it." Riza blushed.

"How did you---" Roy laughed.

"You always look out the window when it's raining." He grabbed her hand. "Come on."

A.N/ (Stares at screen, then at paper, goes back and forth) This turned out a bit different than it had on paper. No flames please, they'll be extinguished by the rain. Also I'm only 12 so give me a break. I have enough to worry about right now. Like studying for the rest of my finals…
