A/N: this may seem confoozing to you but it's basically from Roy's mind/memories because of how bored he is in that dumb hospital. He's reflecting on the flashbacks he gets. The flashbacks are from when he, Maes and Riza were in high school and stuff. Maes is going out w/ glacia already, just to let u know…and i'm a girl so i needed help from my friend to write this…don't blame me i was born a girl! God ur so mean! jk jk not serious people!! w/e it may be dumb but don't report it or anything please and i REALLY don't like getting sued…it's a HUGE hassle. So yea i don't own anything or want to either but omg i'm rambling…
Well i can't think of anything else so l8er
Enjoy!!
Riza was always sitting quietly and reading in a dark hallway that nobody really used. Until Roy and Maes had come that is. Their first "hang out" was when very attractive and secretly Riza-loving Roy had asked her to come to the movies with him and Maes. She had originally said no but Maes kept whining and bugging her about it so she said she'd think about it. She turned away to gather her things while Roy handed Maes a $10 bill for his excellent whining skills. When she began to walk off, the boys followed her asking her questions like were they friends now, did she like them or dislike them, or even what she was going to wear. When she heard the 'what she was going to wear' questions she stopped for a moment and just stood and blinked. Then she continued walking and the boys continued with the questions.
Roy showed up trying to look calm and collected as much as he could as he looked for Riza, Maes and Gracia. Roy was wearing a dark blue and black button up, long sleeved shirt and dark baggy jeans. He had his hair slightly slicked back but mostly normal. He felt extremely excited about being able to finally hang out with the girl he secretly liked and longed to be with.
Roy waited until he felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned to see Maes and Gracia behind him. Maes was wearing casual jeans and a shirt that said 'That's so funny I forgot to laugh…oh wait, I did!' Gracia was wearing her hair pinned back and had light makeup on. She had a red plad mini skirt with a white shirt while wearing Maes's jacket. He was about to see if they knew where Riza was when Maes interrupted him before he asked.
"Hey Roy, close your eyes for a sec. Glacia has a surprise for you," Maes said.
Roy looked a little hesitant but he closed his eyes anyways. He used his ears and heard whispering, plus the sound of slow-walking heels. There was a hoarse voice that was getting closer to him, and the sound of a small struggle. Roy's eyes snapped open as he felt something warm and very soft being pressed into his arms. He looked down to see the very red blushing face of Riza Hawkeye. He steadied her so that she wouldn't fall over while looking her over at the same time. She was of course wearing black but she had done her hair and make up differently, as well as gotten a different kind of 'black' look from normal. He heard Riza, still blushing, say something about Glacia helping with her outfit. Riza was wearing a black mini skirt with chains that ended between her knee and thigh. She was wearing a black and red stripped tank top with lacy arm warmer up past her elbows. She had tied back some of her hair that she had streaked with silver (A/N: she had died it black in high school and added different colored highlights throughout the years until FMA) and kept her bangs to the side and in her face. Her make up only seemed to consist of a very small about of eyeliner, some mascara, dark lip gloss and some blush. But then…the blush could have been real. (A/N: heehee lol ok sry!)
Roy blushed when he looked at her and turned away to try and hide it, even though all of the other three saw it clearly. It was the perfect day, or night, to tell Riza how he had admired her from so far away. But then when he looked at her, he got scared. What if he messed up? What if she already had someone for her? What if she rejected him?? He just turned away and didn't say anything except a 'your welcome' when she thanked him for making sure she didn't fall.
AFTER THE MOVIE
Maes and Gracia had left it up to Roy to take Riza home. Riza had been ignoring him since the incident before the movie. Roy sighed. He felt bad! Besides, hadn't she seen him blushing, too!? When he asked for her address, he found that it was further than his. He would probably have to check in at home before taking Riza home. But then he would drop off his car and make Riza walk. He was sure she wouldn't mind but he decided to ask anyways.
"Hey Riza, do you mind if we walked from my house to yours?" Roy asked.
Riza just shook her head. Roy sped up a little since they were almost to his house anyways. As he pulled into his driveway, Riza looked up to his house with very wide eyes. The place was HUGE! …So Roy was rich. Big deal. Riza hid her amazement.
"I'll just tell my parents really fast. You can wait inside," Roy stated.
Riza slowly walked inside with Roy taking in her surroundings. He left leaving her feeling uncomfortable before Roy came back out. He led Riza outside by the hand and they started walking down the sidewalk, still hand in hand. Roy was blushing but Riza didn't seem to notice right away. When she did, she looked down at their hands and also started blushing. She shook off his hand and crossed her arms.
Roy felt the warmth leave his hand as he realized that Riza was not only embarrassed but also still mad at him for silently offending her.
"You look beautiful, Riza," said Roy quietly.
"Why? Is it because of Glacia's make over?," shot Riza (A/N: omg do u get it? Lol shot? Cuz she's always got a gun? Omg i'm so weird…)
"No…You've always looked beautiful," Roy muttered, blushing, looking so red he looked like an apple or something.
"Oh…Um…thanks," replied a shivering Riza.
"You're welcome. Are you cold?" he asked.
No duh dipshit! God, she's wearing a tank top! I am such a friggin'-
"No, I'm fine," reassured Riza, but shivering again.
Roy ignored her lied and quickly took off his zip up hoodie and draped it around her shoulders. Riza seemed surprised to have something warm and soft wrapped around her. But before she could utter even a quick 'thank you', he jogged ahead of her a bit.
Stupid! She's mad at you remember? WHY would you DO that?
They began to walk to an area with apartment buildings and old gas stations, and places with alleyways. There was spray paint everywhere and boarded up areas, as well as a fog-like smoke substance all around. It looked rusty and a little dangerous. Roy tried to remember if he had gotten the address right.
"Don't look so surprised, Mr. Roy Mustang. I live here; always have, always will, so the address is right. Don't worry," Riza calmly explained. Roy looked back at Riza.
"Hey Riza? I'm sorry for not saying anything about how you looked and I've been acting all weird, I know. But it's just that I was surprised. I'm sorry if I offended you," Roy apologized.
Riza looked at his blushing face as he looked forward again. Riza jogged to him and actually had a big smile on her face.
"It's okay. I guess, since you normally never see me anywhere, it would be a shock huh?" Riza asked.
"No, not really. I think I'm close to the only one who actually looks forward to seeing you everyday, even if we never talk. I've admired you for a long time, and…well…I guess…um…" Roy trailed off, still looking ahead.
"What? Tell me," Riza encouraged.
"Well, okay, it's just that…I'm trying to say that…I like you. A lot. Like a pathetic crushing little middle school kid or an admirer. I've just always been freaked out that you've already got somebody or you would reject me. But a couple days ago, Maes pushed me into walking down that hall to ask you out on a double date. I guess…it kinda worked…" Roy trailed again.
Riza didn't say anything to that. Roy was blushing again, so she should know that he was telling the truth. Roy thought it was a good time, so he gathered the courage and reached for her hand. He couldn't see her face but felt her hand wiggling away in his grasp. He was put out. Maybe she just didn't like him?
But Riza had only moved her hand to intertwine their cold fingers. Roy thought he would burst with happiness. Riza wasn't what you'd call 'popular', and she didn't hang out with preps (A/N: aka, bitches. No offense to those who are preppy and stuff, but at my school, all the 'popular's are fucking asswhipes…so sry no offense) or anything, but Roy really liked Riza, and for a very long time. He hoped she liked him back.
"So, Riza does that mean you like me, too? Or you'd rather just ignore me at school for the rest of eternity?" Roy asked.
"What's that supposed to mean? First of all, I never said I liked you back. I'm happy you like me and all but don't automatically think I'll like you back. I bet that's how it is when you're popular huh?" Riza argued.
Roy heaved a sigh. It was like fighting a wall! It never fought back but it still hurt. Roy decided that he would try a new way to get to her.
Roy leaned in and kissed her softly.
Riza went completely rigid, as Roy's emotions seemed to flash before her very eyes. She then regained her posture, and she couldn't stop but returning the kiss. With that signal of permission, Roy deepened the kiss until she was practically pinned to the wall. Riza had her arms wrapped around Roy's neck, while he had one arm around her waist and one against the wall, pinning her there. They continued until they heard an amused voice give an 'ahem'. Roy and Riza turned to see Maes and Glacia in Maes's car. Everybody except Maes was blushing. (A/N: I got that idea from another story that someone else wrote…I don't remember who it was but I have to add it in because I don't steal stuff from others that are cool like that.)
"Having fun Roy?" Maes asked.
"Shut up! What do you want?" Roy asked, flustered.
"Well, Miss Hawkeye forgot her purse in my car, so I thought I'd give it back. Did I interrupt something important?" Maes laughed.
Roy mumbled a 'yea!' before saying in a clear voice, "Whatever! Just hand it over."
"Thanks Maes," said Riza quietly.
"No problem. Have fun!" Maes drove off after everyone said their quick goodbyes.
Roy and Riza blushed crimson red. Roy took her hand and they quickly started walking again, seeing as it was getting a little late.
