(A/N) Yeah this really is a far off alternate universe fic but I thought this would be fun so yeah. I dunno how long this'll be but hopefully longer than my previous record (what is it 5 or somthing?). Okay a little reference, Riza Hawkeye and Roy Mustang are 15 year old first years at Takaishi High in Tokyo.
"Good morning class." Greeted my cheery teacher.
"My name is Miss Ross." She was obviously a morning person. I was not.
As Miss Ross was explaining how wonderful her English class was going to be, several students were chatting about their vacations or something.
Since I wasn't much of a talkative student, I casually just glanced around to see who my classmates would be. I recognized some of them right away. Who could forget Winry Rockbell and Edward Elric. Those two had been together since...well nobody really can remember back that far. Winry was kind of eccentric. Nice. But a little odd. Edward was...well a trouble maker. He was creative, I'll give him that, but he couldn't go a day without getting in a fight.
I looked for more familiar faces. A feeling of relief went through me. My best friend Sheska was in this class too.
"Riza Hawkeye."
"Yes, Sensei?"
Then the teacher began calling off more names. Apparently she was taking roll. I decided to pay attention and not give a bad impression.
Then it happened. She called out that name. The name that made me jump, my whole body shiver, and my heart skip a beat, all at the same time.
Roy Mustang
I know. I'm pathetic. I mean I've liked him ever since I met him something like ten years ago or some ridiculous amount like that. I've always been friends with him. We'd done stuff together, helped eachother out, but nothing more.
The thing is, he has no clue. I mean the guy is smart, funny, cunning, and...well...certainly not bad looking either. But he's clueless. Other people have noticed I like him, sure, but does he notice? Nope. But who knows maybe he knows, but he's in denial. Maybe he didn't even want to think about it so he ignores it.
I knew he didn't like me. I knew because of his one flaw...(okay his one BIG flaw) he's a player. Always flirting with more girls. And, of course, they flirted back. I didn't blame them though. I mean, I liked him for YEARS for heavens sake.
The bell finally rang and my group of friends, me, Sheska, Maes Hughes, and of course, Roy, all gathered to talk to eachother.
"Damn Elric." Roy said "Already picking fights with me an hour into highschool?"
"Hm?" I questioned stupidly.
"He was arguing with me during class." He said answering my confused look "He was talking to Winry, and when I told him to shut up, he got pissed. Of course name-calling was involved."
I smiled at Roy "Of course."
He grinned. His half-happy half-devious, grin. It was a cute grin.
"So what classes do you all have next?" Maes asked.
"Geometry." Sheska answered.
"I've got history." Maes responded.
"Japanese literature." I said with zero enthusiasm.
"Really?" Roy said "I've got Japanese literature too."
"Awesome!" I squeaked when I spoke, making my face turn red.
"Let's walk together." Roy said so casually, as if it wasn't a big deal. Oh. That's right, for him it wasn't.
Sheska winked at me.
Roy started to walk off and I hastened to catch up.
I started to talk but nothing would come out. It was probably better that way since I probably would have said somthing stupid anyway.
"So how was your vacation Riza?" he startled me.
"It was okay. Kinda boring." Can't I fit at least five words into a sentence, I got mad at myself.
"Yeah, mine was fun until I got grounded. I accidently set some stuff on fire in my back yard." he said with a mischevious sound to it.
"I'm sure it was an accident." I said sarcastically.
"Heh." Roy laughed.
"Wow so you finally told Roy you liked him? Wow Riza! That's awesome, now you two are together." Lira said exitedly.
I swear I could have slapped her right then. I was mad. Infuriated. Down right pissed off. But apparently my face didn't show that. No, it was the same shocked look Roy's face had as he looked at me.
"You like me?" he whispered his eyes bulging out.
My face turned pink because my face went pale from shock and red from embarassment, resulting in an interesting pink mixture. I nodded. Well sort of. I moved my head as much as I was capable of.
I could hear several students talking surprised about what Lira said. I could feel the rumors already starting.
"So you're Roy's girlfriend?" Alphonse Elric asked.
Alphonse was Edwards younger brother. He skipped a grade though. Al insists Edward would've been able to skip several grades if he wasn't so lazy.
I didn't know what to say. I knew the answer was no. But, I wished it was really true.
"Yeah, she is." Roy answered.
I flinched because I thought he said isn't. But he didn't. He said is. Then it struck me. He said is...
WHAT THE HELL? I thought. I figured out he must've sensed how much I didn't want to say no.
"Crap, Riza, we're gonna be late. Let's go." he grabbed my wrist and headed for the class room as I still kinda had a dazed look on my face with my mouth hanging open.
Right before we reached the class room he pulled me around the corner.
"Sorry about that. I didn't want you to say no to them before I asked you out." he said hastily.
"Okay..." I said half understanding what he said "Wait what!"
"Do you wanna be my girlfriend? I mean I've kinda liked you for awhile but... you didn't seem like the type to like me so I shoved the thought to the back of my mind."
I opened my mouth to say somthing but was yet again unsucessful. This time because the bell rang.
The first day of class and I was late. But who the hell cared. Roy just asked me to date him! I was still regaining my conciousness when he spoke again.
"Um, is this to sudden or somthing?"
Realizing I hadn't said yes yet I quickly answered "Yes, I mean no. I mean...I...wanna..." but I didn't get to finish that sentence either, but I didn't mind, because right then, right there, on my first day of highschool, in front of Japanese literature, there I stood being kissed by Roy Mustang.
(A/N) Yeah I know, not very long but, hey it's a start. I think that's a good way to finish chapter one...plus it's two a.m. right now so...yeaaaah. So I hope you liked it! Please review! Don't worry I'll update soon.
