A/N: This was actually the idea that spawned the massive monster that is now my Just A Moment drabbles (51 and counting). I love Gracia, I think she's a great and interesting character in the show, and she doesn't get nearly enough cover in the fanfiction, so I'm glad I could write something in which she makes an appearance. I was just sitting there one day at a hockey game, and I had this idea of her being the first to know Ed and Roy were in love, and I had to write it, and that inspired more drabbles, and so on...but I didn't want to start with it, because it's a bit sad. But from now on, I'll probably post in the order I wrote them.
Disclaimer: I do not own FMA. But I do own a brand new lovely laptop, so my grandma can never again kick me off the computer when I need to be reading fanfiction just so she can play bridge. Yay graduation presents!
Expression
Gracia Hughes was the first person to know that Roy was in love with Edward. It wasn't a conclusion she reached gradually, through weeks of observing the two together; she didn't spend enough time around them to do that. There was merely a moment where she looked at him and knew.
She was sitting in his office when Riza told him Ed had been attacked on a mission. She saw his face before Riza told him Ed was still alive, and she knew he was in love.
She had worn the same expression when they told her Maes had died.
A/N: I probably should have killed Ed. But I just couldn't bring myself to do that. PS: please review!
