Military Records
AN. OMG! I remember this!! I wrote it on the plane to Tokyo last Christmas! squeals I've been sorting through old note pads and, well, here it is!! –Riss
Military records, though rather tedious at times, really are quite extraordinary things, Colonel Mustang thought to himself as he hastily thumbed through the cluster of personnel files in the cabinet before him. They give you the big picture, all of the little details and even those teeny-tiny lickle fiddley bits of meaningless information that only a man truly obsessed could possibly even halfway desire to obtain.
Oftentimes, military records meant sifting through meaningless information in search of a logic that just wasn't there, but at that moment, to Roy Mustang, it was exactly those little fiddley bits that he was after and if they didn't make sense, then so be it.
In this case, the apple of his eyes and the object of, yes, his obsession, was none other than his gorgeous young first lieutenant, Riza Hawkeye: an intelligent and fiery enigma of a woman who seemed, to most, to have a heart of ice and an iron will…
…But who had taken ballet class for 6 years before he had known her, gone through high school on a music scholarship and paid for her first gun with money raised by making cute little homemade bangles, an armful of which she wore every afternoon –or evening, as was often the case- when she went off duty.
Her middle name was Marianne. She was born with blue eyes. Blonde was her natural hair colour, but she was not stupid. When she was, she had had a pet rabbit called Bella who had been skinned alive by the village children and left to fester on a pole in the garden for six weeks before her father finally realised and duly disposed of the poor thing. She had two sisters, Kaitlyn and Mary- twins, both two years older than her.
When she was 15-years-old she met, and fell in love with, Roy Mustang, who knew all this and more, and who proposed to her, as he had always promised that he would, on the day that he became Fuhrer, June 11th, 1932.
She said 'Yes'.
