A/N: All right, once again I am going to try to attempt to write out an ongoing story. I swear to god that I'll finish this one! And if I don't, feel free to pummel me with tomatoes and potatoes and whatever you feel fit. However, I don't think that obsessive force will be necessary because I actually have a really good idea of how I want the story to go, and how I want to end it. So as far as I'm concerned, this story will find the proper ending D coff yeah. It's royai all the way Oh yeah, just a little FYI that I like to give in most my stories: I haven't seen the entire series, I'm stuck with the Adult Swim schedule, but I think that may change this summer if I get around to downloading it. So, if I miss a concept or screw it up some how, please please please tell me. My bark is worse than my bite Sorry if this chapter is a bit short, I promise they'll get longer as the story goes on…hopefully ; So without further adue, on with the Disclaimer!
Disclaimer FOR ALL CHAPTERS: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist, Roy, Riza, or Havok (though I do own the license to torture him in what ever means I see fit) so please do not sue me because I'm in debt to my parents already since I have to pay for my flute. I don't need the Feds coming after me thank you very much. With out further adue, on with the story!
Transfer
By Rukusho
Chapter 1- The Notice
It was a usual Friday in the Eastern office. Five minute's until lunch and Colonel Roy Mustang still had a stack of papers to sign. It really did amaze Riza how fast he could sign when put under pressure (i.e. her pulling her gun from her shoulder holster and loading it,) and it always amazed her that he would finish signing those papers with a minute to spare.
"Good job sir. I'll take these and get the next stack you need to sign for after lunch," she always gave a small little smile as she turned towards the door hearing a loud thunk and a groan. Luckily, the afternoon paperwork was very light, which was odd considering there were normally tons of Friday reports. Riza walked back in to the dual office, seeing that the Colonel pulled out his lunch and was slowly eating it.
"Don't worry, take your time, the paper work is light this afternoon," his head quickly shot up with as smile when he heard those words.
"Well, that's nice to hear for once. Do you know if the mail has come yet Lieutenant?"
"No sir," she placed the paperwork on a corner of his desk turning around to head back to her own, "Why, expecting a reply from some woman whose head over heals for you?" It wasn't like Riza to make comments like that, but she had to take advantage of him once in a while; however, she wasn't expecting silence for a while. She sweat dropped instantly, mumbling to her self, "You really are pathetic some times; you know that sir?"
"I heard that!" He watched her sit down at her desk and pull out her lunch, "And I'm not expecting any love letters from any well endowed females, but I heard a rumor that a transfer notice was sent from Central to this office just yesterday."
Riza gave him an odd look since he was leaning over his desk trying to be secretive. "Did Archer tell you that sir?"
"Yeah, I just have this feeling that we're all going back to Central in the very near future," he held a smile on his face as he reclined in his chair.
"I wouldn't be that optimistic sir, for all you know it could be an individual transfer notice, for anyone in this office."
"Possible, but not likely considering the mathematical probability of us being split up is not high, and anyways, who would dare split up this team?"
"Oh, I can think of a few higher ups who would happily see your team removed from your control."
"Gosh Hawkeye, what a dream breaker you are."
"No, I'm just realistic sir. Never leave any room for regret, you should know that the best sir." Riza noticed how down hill this conversation went, and she knew that Mustang was about to change the subject.
"So, are we still on for dinner tomorrow," now this topic was a bit happier. For about a month, the Colonel and Lieutenant were going out on a weekly dinner, just to discuss things in a more comfortable environment. This was far from any form of dating, not only because fraternization between soldiers in the state army was forbidden, but also because all they did was talk business and make plans for making Roy Führer.
"I'm still planning on it," she said simply, taking a bite out of her sandwich.
"Good, I'm looking forward to it." The two ate in silence after that, each consumed in their own thoughts.
Havok suddenly barged in announcing, "MAIL CALL! Lets see, five love letters for Havok, ten love letters for the Colonel, oh and what's this? A love letter for the First Lieutenant?"
"WHAT!" Riza and Mustang screamed in unison, as Riza reached to grab the letter from Havok.
"Is there a secret man you need to tell me about Hawkeye?" Roy knew he was playing with fire, but that was his specialty.
"No," Riza shot him a cold glare, her voice cold and strict, "at least I keep my relationships private, instead of breaking uniform like you two do." She hissed the last part, her cheeks a bit flushed, as she opened the letter she received. Havok quickly handed Roy his letters and ran out of the room.
Roy sifted through his letters, just glancing at the senders, "Declaration of love, declaration of love, declaration of love," he let out a large sigh, "nothing from Central. I guess Archer was just getting my hopes up for a transfer." The room stayed silent for a few more minutes.
"Uh, sir?" Roy looked up from reading his love letters, hearing something different in his lieutenants voice.
"What is it?"
"I don't think that letter got lost…" Riza's voice trailed off.
"What do you mean Hawkeye? Was Havok just playing a joke or something?"
"No, it's not that sir."
"Then what about it Lieutenant?" Roy was getting a bit agitated from this guessing game. If she had the transfer order for the company, she'd better damned give it to him now.
"The transfer sir, it's for me."
To be continued…
