Conversation Hearts

"Come on Hawkeye!" Breda cajoled to her. "There has to be something you like about Valentines day."

"I agree with Breda here." Havoc nodded. "Come on and just tell us, is it chocolate? Fudge maybe?"

"Yeah." Breda backed Havoc up. "I don't know a woman alive that doesn't like something to do with Valentines day, so just fess up."

"Havoc I have already told you, and everyone else in this room that there is nothing I like about this holiday. Its nothing but a money making racket!" I sighed, as this was the third time that I'd repeated my statement. "So stop asking already. What's up with that in the first place? Why do you care about what I do or don't like about this holiday?" I narrowed my eyes at the men in the office around me.

"No reason." Hughes told me with a smile and flip of his hand in the air as if it were no big deal. "We just wanted to know how the ole' hawk ticks."

"Well here, let me tell you again for the last time. There is not one damn thing about this holiday that I particularly enjoy about it at all whatsoever." I told the office men with stern sharp eyes. "And the next person who asks gets a pistol to the head. Do I make myself clear?"

The group of terrified men in front of me just stared dumbly at me with awestruck faces and sweat drops.

"Leave the Lieutenant alone." came the gruff voice of Colonel Mustang who chose at this moment to make his appearance for the afternoon shift. "By the way Hawkeye, I picked you up a box of those conversation hearts you like so much…" he said dropping the afore mentioned card board candy box on to my desk, making me go three different shades of red. Colonel Mustang just smiled at me while I just stood there staring up at him with some terrible mixture of embarrassment and horror. The Colonel just smirked at me and looked back up at his men who were all still standing there with awestruck faces for accept Hughes who some how busted out of his haze of terror of being pistol whipped to snap candid shots with his camera that for some reason never leaves his side. He raised his eyebrow and snapped.

"Don't you all have work to be getting too?" The Colonel then turned to Hughes still snapping away on his camera. "Hughes if you don't stop I'll burn every picture you own of Elysia."

Hughes then abruptly stopped and blushed.

"Get to work men." I called out at them and sat back down on my desk and picked up the cardboard box of conversation hearts. I opened the box up and pulled out the first necco heart I came to. It was white with pink stamping on it saying 'I love you'. I smirked and held onto it as the men all went back to they're work and Hughes had put up his camera. "Hey Colonel." I called catching his eye. "Catch." I tossed the candy at him and he quickly caught it with ease before looking down at the message written on it and smirked.

"I bought ten boxes." he told me with a snigger. "But I want all the white 'I love you' ones from now on. So thanks Hawkeye."
