1. Working Hard or Hardly Working?

Disclaimer:I do not own FullMetal Alchemist. If I did would I be here doing this?

Coronal Roy Mustang.

Working hard or hardly working?

Both actually. He could do both in one day, easy.

Hardly working, leaning back in his chair, NOT doing his (many) piles of paperwork.

That is, until Riza Hawkeye comes in, (with yet another stack of paperwork, of course.) Until Hawkeye starts shooting at his head "to get him working" to quote Riza.

Then, THEN he starts working hard. Signing more and more paperwork until his hands and wrists hurt like hell.

The easy way out would be to burn it all. Burn all the paperwork. He could get rid of it with a single snap of his fingers.

He could do that, but Riza would shoot at his head (YET again.) Anyway, she'd expect that from the lazy man.

This time he could try doing the work. It might (and would!) surprise Riza so much she might not shoot at him. Or, she might shoot at him some more, wondering what had happened to the real Roy Mustang.

Expect the unexpected, he said.

Working hard or hardly working, eh?

A/N This is one of my shorter ones...still enjoy.
