Disclaimer: Don't own FMA and never will

Lieutenant Hawkeye continued tapping away at the new computers Central headquarters had received. She had recently discovered a chat room to meet new people and already she was addicted. She found it relaxing and it helped her escape from the stress of office life. She glanced to the desk nearest to the window. The Colonel was happily talking away on the phone to his new date. How she loathed those women, and she hated the Colonel s flirtatious nature. But secretly she wanted it directed at her.

However she gave up trying to pursue her unrequited love, she wanted to focus on pushing him to the top regardless of her feelings. But that was until she met Andrew Fox.

She met him on a typical chat room and wanted to escape talking to him but then she engaged in interesting conversation. She found out that he was the exact opposite of the Colonel. And for some reason she found it very attractive. Andrew was hard-working, loyal, devoted and humble and found her tales about office life hilarious, he always listened when she complained and then gave advice accordingly. He had once served in the military but left to pursue a career in trading with Xingese market me. She did find it strange someone like this wasn t married or in a relationship yet but regardless she continued talking to the man. Very soon she found herself telling him nearly everything about her even her love for the Colonel. However Andrew encouraged her to pursue the relationship whilst Riza slowly gave up on it. She felt convincing the womaniser was a chore. They talked about her life in the military and despite mentioning all the atrocities she had committed he still continued to talk to her every chance he had.

A message appeared up and she began typing up her report.

How's work Riza? Any trouble from the Colonel?

She smiled at the message.

No, the Colonel s on the phone to his girlfriend, still slacking off but at least he s finished most of the paperwork

She glanced over at the man in question, he saw her looking at her and waved and smiled. Riza rolled her eyes and went back to the screen.

Still hasn't taken any of our hints then?

No

She sighed loudly, causing all the others to look at her. Riza pulled a gun out of her drawer and waved it, smiling in a sadistic manner. The men hurriedly put their heads down.

That's a shame, don t take any offense to this but maybe you should give up on him.

Sometimes I wonder that myself. Roy laughed loudly and she rolled her eyes as she typed.

Then how about we go to dinner sometime.

She was shocked at such a bold statement, she glanced at Roy again who had that flawless smirk on his face. She wished she could make him smirk in such a way, but she knew it was about time she stopped dreaming and accepted reality.

Sounds good. When?

How about tomorrow, and we can meet 8pm in the park?

Riza wanted to be impulsive for once, so she accepted. Then she realised something, she still didn t have an idea of what he looked like. When she brought this up, he had sent her a photo album of pictures of himself. He was very attractive; light green eyes, short brown hair and looked well built. Despite his obvious attractiveness she still found herself comparing him to the Colonel. He wasn t as handsome as the Colonel, his face lacked the child-like roundness the Colonel possessed and the beautiful dark eyes.

Regardless, she herself ended sending a picture of her and her best friend Rebecca. His reply brought a smile upon her face.

Beautiful, everything about you is beautiful. That colonel of yours is missing out.

"What put a smile on your face?" Roy Mustang had snuck up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. He tried to get a look at the screen but was too slow, Riza had already hit the hide screen button.

"It's nothing sir."

"Doesn't look like nothing. Come on Lieutenant, share with me." He looked at her and smiled.

"I met someone online." She muttered bluntly, succumbed to the dark piercing eyes.

"Someone? As in a guy?"

"Maybe."

"So do you like this guy?" Roy was desperately trying to get information out of his reluctant lieutenant.

"Maybe" She refused to look at him.

Roy was genuinely uncomfortable about Riza seeing other men. He was very aware of his secret feelings for his lieutenant but had suppressed them so that they could work together. He hated the idea of another man being with her.

"Who is this guy?"

"Andrew Fox" She smiled and blushed slightly at the name.

"So this Fantastic Mr Fox put this smile on your face."

"Possibly." She still refused to look him in the eye.
"So you met this guy online right?" She nodded.
"You do realise that a lot of people pretend to be someone else. He might not be the person you think he is because you never know who is behind that computer screen."

"I am aware of that fact sir. I have seen pictures. You don't need to be so overprotective, I can look after myself."

"I'm not being over protective, I'm just looking out for you as your commanding officer and friend." His voice was quiet and sincere.

"Regardless, sir. This is none of your business, you don't need to concern yourself over it." She began to shut down her computer as the clock struck 5pm.

He put her hand on hers. "Just don't do anything stupid okay? If you're meeting him tell someone and don't tell him personal details which he could use against you later."

Shocked she pulled her hand away from his. "Yes Sir." She stood up and gathered her things and left the office.

Roy sat in his chair and sighed. Why couldn't he protect the stubborn woman he loved?

As soon as Riza came home she changed into sleeping clothes and went on her own computer. Andrew was still online.

Sorry about before I had to shut down before the Colonel saw.

So what if he did?

?

Would it matter if he saw or not. It wouldn t change a thing.

I guess so. Riza was unsure of what he meant but brushed it off.

I don't get that guy, he has a great loyal, beautiful woman by his side, yet he goes off with random other woman. Men like that make me sick. Riza smiled at the comment, but she didn t like the way he described the Colonel. Sure the man was a womaniser but he wasn t as bad as the rumours made him out to be.

Maybe he just doesn t notice.

He's a fool. Are you still up for tomorrow?

Yes.

I ll meet you by the fountain then Riza waited a moment before typing

Thank you for listening to all my problems

It was no problem, I hope that we can build a stronger relationship tomorrow.

Me too

Roy paced his room impatiently. He was really concerned about the shady fellow the Lieutenant had become associated with. He even got Havoc to check his background, but Roy was doubtful, his hunch was that he was using a fake name. Roy wondered what information she had told him, would he know where she lived or her favourite food? Where she worked or grew up? Had she told him about the tattoo on her back? Or Ishval?

His mind was driving him up the wall. He twisted and turned in his bed as he tried to sleep. Finally he gave into his itch and dialled a number on the phone.

A sleepy voice answered. "Hello?"

"Ah, um Lieutenant it's me."

"Colonel, it's 2am why are you calling me?"

"I'm not too sure." He laughed nervously and placed his arm behind his head. "I guess I just wanted to hear your voice and check that you're alright."

There was silence for a while. "Well you're talking to me so I guess I'm fine." She sounded annoyed. "What about you? Something must be wrong if you're calling me?"

Roy spoke nervously. "No not really" He heard an irritated sigh on the other end, and decided to lighten the mood. "Oh, I was wondering what size you want your miniskirt?"

"Goodnight Colonel." She said bluntly and put the phone down.

Roy put down the phone and then drifted off into an easier sleep. He trusted the Lieutenant, she wouldn't be stupid enough to go home with a complete stranger. Would she?
