What are some headcanons for Roy Mustang and a reader who is completely oblivious to his flirting?
More Fullmetal Alchemist stuff? This is awesome, thank you so much! I love imagining Roy Mustang flirting XD Here’s the headcanons :)
Roy Mustang:
He’s too scared to be too blunt when it comes to flirting
So Roy is pretty subtle about it
To the point that you don’t notice, and hardly anyone does
You notice some things, though
For example, you catch him staring sometimes
Or how protective he is of you
And how he seems to be… nervous around you?
Not nervous exactly (Roy Mustang nervous? that’s nearly impossible)
More casual and relaxed, like he wants to get closer to you
In fact, it’s either that or he’s very formal, there’s no in between
You don’t really think much into it, and one day he seems frustrated
When Roy realizes you’re completely oblivious to his demeanor, or at least to the reason behind it, he decides to act
One day he takes advantage that you’re both alone
He seems very collected as he approaches you, thinking you have to talk
You’re worried because he sounds so serious that you think it’s something about the army, something huge
But he behaves serene as he starts speaking, even if his heart is racing
“Y/N, we have to talk about us”
“Don’t we work well together?” You’re still convinced that it’s about work
“No, about how you’re ignoring my efforts, whether it’s deliberate or not”
“Efforts?” Your heart flutters thinking back to his odd demeanor
“Yes, trying to get you to notice me”
“Why is that?”
“Because… I… I feel something for you, of course”
He says it calmly, almost like he’s stating a fact
And he frowns sternly, even if his faint blush betrays his composure
“Oh, so that’s why” Having confirmed that his ‘efforts’ were definitely his way of flirting, you start flirting with him now
“Yes, so I was hoping to hear your answer, if you reciprocate”
You smile to yourself at how sternly he behaves
Probably to hide his embarrassment and how flustered he trully is
“Maybe I do” You say, and kiss him in the cheek
He clears his throat awkwardly, even if you spy a little smile
“Excellent, we will resume this conversation later” Roy mumbles as he goes back to work
“Yeah, we will” You wink at him, just to see him blushing
And this time it’s pretty clear because his whole face is red
