Paperwork was so boring. Roy never thought that being the Fuhrer would include so much paperwork. After finishing the last paper he put down his pen and threw his head back.
"Finally!" Roy sighed.
Suddenly the door to his office opened. He looked up and he saw his Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. She walked in with another stack of papers.
"Oh come on! I just finished this pile of paper and now I got more!" Roy complained.
"I'm sorry sir. But if you 'd done your work weeks ago it probably would've been done right now." She sighed setting down the papers.
Roy sighed, straightened up and picked up his pen. He started to on his first paper as Riza started to walk out of his office. He stopped writing and watched her walk away and closes the door behind her. He sighed and put down the pen. He has known Riza for so many years. Ever since they were kids. Their relationship has only been a professional relationship, nothing more. She had saved his life so many times, she knows him inside and out. When it comes to him, she sees everything, except one thing. He's been falling in love for her. He tilted his head back and covered his face with his hands. All he could think about is her.
"Hello sir!" Greeted Jean Havoc as he burst through the door.
Havoc noted the Fuhrer's expression as he walked in.
"Thinking of the Lieutenant again aren't you sir?" He smirked crossing his arms.
"What do you want Havoc?" Roy asked sitting straight.
"I just came here to deliver this. It's last months report." Havoc said handing him over the papers.
"Thank you. Is that all?""
"No sir, Fullmetal sent a letter to you sir." Havoc informed handing Roy a small envelope.
When Roy ascended to power he offered Edward the chance to keep his State Alchemist title as long as he and Al helped the military with their research. Alphonse took the State Alchemist's test and passed. Even though Ed can't preform alchemy, he has the privileges of a State Alchemist as long as he shares every bit of information he has with the Fuhrer. He's been working with them ever since. He's now living in Resembool with his wife.
Roy took the letter and looked at it. Havoc saluted him and turned on his heel and walked away. Roy opened the letter and began to read it. A warm smile formed on his face. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Roy voiced.
Riza opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind her. She sat in a chair across from him. Roy continued to read the letter and chuckled as he finished it and then neatly folded it and stuffed it back into his envelope.
"Fullmetal sent a letter." Roy said.
"Really? What did he say?" Riza asked.
"He's taking some time off."
"That's odd, did he say why?"
Roy rose from his chair and stood by his window.
"Him and Winry are expecting their first kid." He said.
Riza showed a hint of a smile.
"That's wonderful!"
"Yeah… I still cant believe that half pint of a kid I worked with years ago is having a kid of his own. But I guess life is funny that way right Lieutenant." Roy said as he turned to Riza looking at her straight into her brown eyes.
Riza stared back into his eyes before clearing her throat and turning away.
"Yes sir."
Roy chuckled and got closer to Riza.
"You know, you can call me Roy when we're alone." He whispered as he moved his face closer to hers.
She tentatively moved her face closer to his before shutting her eyes tightly and moving it away from his.
"I should get going sir. And you have to finish your paperwork."
Riza got up from her chair, saluted and hastily walked out of his office. Roy stood frozen for a moment before looking back to the door and sighing. He knew she felt something for him. But why couldn't she just let it go. He turned to his papers and resigned himself to his work. Maybe it could help him clear his mind.
