Dicalimer: I DON'T own FullMetal Alchemistbut, I wish I did
I leaned back in my chair. I had finally made it to the top but so many lives were taken in the process and so many things had been sacrificed in order to achieve my goal that I am beginning to question if it was even worth it. The reason for becoming a fuhrer was so that I could change the way of the military and make up for what I had done in Ishbal but even now thinking about it, I don't even remember why I joined the military in the first place. My thoughts began to wonder off, straying from the paperwork I was supposed to be doing. Why did I join the military even after hearing how they were such dogs?
After sitting around thinking the reason for me joining in the first place finally came back to me.
flash back
Roy Mustang, age: 19
"Hey Roy, come on lets go down to the bar and get some drinks. I talked to some chicks on the way here and they agreed to meet us down there."
I looked up at his friend who was staring at me with anxious eyes. I knew that the only reason why the girls agreed to go was if I was there.
"Fine, lets go but those girls better be hot or else I am out of there."
We both walked lazily to the bar in silence, just like the day before and the day before that. I had never really done anything to make my life at all remotely important but at first I thought that was fine. I never really thought that I was cut out for the whole work life so I just didn't do anything. Then one day I woke up with hang over as usual but this time instead of waking up and grumbling, I thought to myself exactly where my life was going and if this is really the way I wanted to be remember. Did I really want to be remembered as the stupid drunk whose only talent was picking up chicks? That day after I woke up some I decided that as of today I was going to make something of myself.
Walking to the library I started thinking wether applying for a job as a state alchemist was a good idea. I already knew quite a bit of alchemy. When I was little I liked to play with fire. I spent most of my time playing with matches and fire and then getting yelled out for it later. I was fascinated with flames and everything. It was when I was 13 that I started studying alchemy because…… well actually I really don't know why I started, it was just something to do I guess. I had gotten really good at it but after a few years I stopped using it as much.
"Hughes I decided that I am going to going to join the military as a state alchemist."
"Um, well that was pretty random, Roy."
"Yeah well it's something I have to do I think. So anyway how is Gracia, how long have you been going out for now?"
"Oh Gracia is great, we're going out on our third date tonight. I'm sooooooooooo excited I cant wait and I don't mean that in a nasty way Roy. See I got you all figured out, you and your dirty mind."
I just stopped and stared at Hughes, 'you've got to be kidding me.' All I did was shrug it off and then finished off the rest of beer.
end of flash-back
So that was why I had joined the military, I had forgotten that. Maes Hughes had supported me the whole way through and now look where that had gotten him. Sometimes I find myself wondering whether or not Garcia hated me or blamed me for His death and if she blamed me for the fact that her daughter would be growing up not knowing how great her father was. I was starting to drift off again when I heard the door open and an annoyed Riza walked in, in her tiny miniskirt uniform. I let a smile spread across my face. Now I remembered why I joined the military, the miniskirts.
