Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye sighed. Today was going to be a tiring day. It was the one day she detested with a passion: Valentine's Day, where you gave a gift to the one you loved. Another year where she rejected the silly antics of young men who followed after her like lost puppies.
Today, however, she had a disguise. Riza left the house in her long, black jacket, shades and a black top hat. All would have been fine if she hadn't been questioned by a police car full of young policemen. Initially she had been pulled over because she looked like a shady character (so they said), but the men had produced roses and chocolates and were fighting over who was worthy enough to give her a gift.
She left the scene with her eyebrow twitching and a vein precariously bulging on her forehead.
The military weren't that much better. Even her reputation as a sharpshooter didn't drive away all of her admirers. Didn't they have any sense? As soon as she stepped into the building, a few daring males literally shoved roses in her face. A show of her gun holsters quickly and efficiently sent them scuttling away.
She sighed as she approached her department. Two, crazy men to deal with. Havoc she could just shoot and he'd be, well, literally and figuratively shot down. She managed a grim smile at her own pun. But the main problem lay with her colonel. He was as stubborn as a mule. She offered a quick prayer to the gods just before she opened the door. She was greeted by Havoc, who came early just to give Riza his gift to her. It was inevitable, she thought, as she shot at the rose, watching the petals fly everywhere. Havoc broke down.
One thing surprised her though. Her colonel's desk, which was usually a mess from unfinished papers the night before, was tidied up and cleared, save for one sheet of paper and a long-stemmed red rosebud.
To my Dearest Lieutenant and friend, Hawkeye,
I am on an assignment today, so I will not be here.
But I have completed all my work and tidied up my workspace.
Please look in the top drawer.
Happy Valentine's Day
She let a small smile grace her features as she studied his signature scrawled on the bottom of the note. Remembering the request, she cautiously opened up his top drawer. It was empty, with the exception of a velvet box. She opened it, her mouth ajar as she studied the exquisite ring.
"Riza Hawkeye, will you marry me when I become Führer?"
Riza snapped her head around, startled. "Where did you come from? And I thought you were on an assignment."
"I was hiding underneath your desk. And I do have an assignment." He scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "To run away before you can shoot me for proposing."
"Idiot." She pulled out her pistol and hit him square on the head with the handle of her gun.
"Before he lost consciousness, Roy muttered, "Is that a yes?"
"Yes."
The colonel grinned. Even though his head was stinging and every thing was going black, he sure thought her subordinate had a funny way of showing her love. And, he noted with a smile, she didn't shoot at him either.
