Summary: Riza misses her class and her boyfriend, Roy, wants to help her feel better even though she’s not the best patient
Special thanks to derlaine on Discord for the name of the Group Chat. Thanks also to @fullmetalscullyy, I’m gonna use yours in Unexpectedly.
Also, a lot of you reblogged a snippet of Rebecca and Roy I shared. It’s from this story. :)
Dedicated to @cyphergemini, who sent me a beautiful picture prompt.
Monday mornings were the worst as far as Roy Mustang was concerned. He was running late and didn’t get a chance to grab his customary coffee before class. He checked his watch and stifled a yawn. The class was nearly over and his hand was numb from taking notes.
“You’re dismissed.” The professor surveyed her class. “Remember I want that essay next Friday, at 10 am, no excuses.”
“Great,” Roy muttered and stuffed his notebook into his backpack. “Not like we don’t have a billion things to do this week.”
His friend Hughes clapped him on the back. “You know you work better under a tight deadline.”
He rolled his eyes at his best friend. “Maybe it wouldn’t be quite so tight if we got started on our group project last weekend.”
Hughes looked offended as he gathered up his things. “Buddy, it was my birthday.”
Roy’s lips twitched and the pair left the lecture hall. He looked around at his classmates. There was still no sign of his girlfriend. He thought she might have snuck in during class.
“Looks like Riza never turned up.” Roy furrowed his brow. “It’s not like her.”
His friend shrugged. “I’m sure she is fine and you got her notes like a good boyfriend.”
“Speaking of boyfriend duties, I must go and meet my darling, Gracia.” Hughes beamed at him. “I’ll message you later about the group project. We can get started tonight.”
Roy arched an eyebrow and Hughes stuck out his tongue.
“Have a little faith, buddy.” Hughes waved over his shoulder and disappeared into the crowd.
Hughes always seemed to forget about their academic duties when girls were involved. And this girl: Roy was pretty sure that Hughes was head over heels for her. That was saying a lot since it only took one smile for Hughes to declare his undying love. The man would just easily fall out of love as he would fall into it. But it seemed like Gracia was different. Roy liked her and he thought she was good for his idiot best friend. For once Hughes wasn’t getting itchy feet.
