Riza hummed "Happy Birthday" to herself as she entered Central H.Q. at seven in the morning. It was her birthday, and she wanted to get all of her work done and ask Mustang for the rest of the day off.
She entered the office and reached to turn on the lights, but to her surprise, the lights were already on. She set down her things and looked around for the culprit.
Sure enough, she spotted him: The Colonel was sprawled out on his desk, all paperwork pushed to the side. It did not look like he was holding anything, nor did the office smell of alcohol, but if he had not been drinking there…
"Sir? Sir, wake up!" Riza shook her superior's shoulder tentatively.
Roy shot up, pulled on a spark glove, and blinked. "Huh? What's going on Lieutenant?"
Riza stepped back. "Sir, you had me worried! Why were you sleeping here?"
"Well, it's your birthday, right?" Roy asked.
Nodding, Riza began, "But what does that-"
Roy cut her off. "I wanted to do something nice for you, and I figured that, to start, I'd get all my late work done, and maybe finish up my work on time, and hopefully, um… take you out to lunch?"
For a moment, Riza was too shocked to say anything. "You did this all so that you could have an hour of my time?" she clarified slowly. Roy nodded, causing a smile to grace her features as she replied, "Roy Mustang, let's call it a date."
