"Sir...SIR! Ugh...WAKE UP!" Hawkeye shook the Colonel, trying to wake him from his slumber, his head on his desk and pen still in hand.
"WHA!?" He jolted up from his sleeping position with a paper stuck to his face from drooling.
"Sir...you have a visitor." Risa sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Who is it?"
"I'm...not entirely sure. She just said she was an 'old friend'." Risa said, seemingly puzzled.
"Oh? Well, let her in then I suppose." Mustang stated, looking curious.
Hawkeye nodded and opened the door, letting the Woman in and then exiting.
The brown eyed brunette that had just entered the room blinked, stared at mustang for a moment, then began to laugh.
Mustang glared a bit, and raised an eyebrow.
"And exactly what is so funny, Miss?" He grumbled.
She walked over to him with a smile, and pulled the paper off from being stuck to his cheek, to reveal there was writing in ink all over it, causing her to laugh more, but he grabbed her wrist as she was pulling her hand away.
His cheeks tinted the slightest bit pink, and coughed, releasing her.
"Um...do I know you?" He looked the somewhat familiar girl over.
She pouted a bit, crossing her arms. "Don't even remember your own apprentice, Senpai?"
He inspected the girl closer, realization dawning upon him.
"Ma-...Maria?" He gaped.
"Mhmm!" She smiled brightly.
She had definitely become a gorgeous young lady, to say the least.
"Hmm...how old are you, Maria?" Roy questioned, hand on his chin.
"17, why?" She asked back.
He grinned and stood, approaching her with a somewhat mischievous look.
"Um...Senpai?" She backed up but he was faster than her, and before she knew it he had her in his strong arms.
"Maria...call me Roy." He smiled down at her.
"Oh...ok...Roy." She nodded.
"So...exactly what are you doing?" She asked him, looking up.
"...Mari...Seeing you again...you've matured quite a a bit." He rested his head on hers.
"That doesn't answer my question" She fidgeted a bit in his embrace.
"I'm saying, I like you."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"I've...always liked you too." She whispered.
He smiled big and kissed her forehead.
And that, was all he needed to hear...
