"Aww c'mon uncle Alex please?" A small chipper voice bounded down the hallways of the central military offices with a bouquet of flowers in her tiny hands. Here is Destiny Lisa Armstrong, she is nine years old and only slightly sweeter than caramel.

Being born from the majors older sister, she couldn't have possibly withstood the cold in the northern range and so, was sent to live in central.

"Were are you little one?" The buff and intimidating man asked in an all to unnaturally sweet voice.

"I'm right here"she squealed playfully, holding up one of the ever so delicate roses in her arms.

"I just got these from my garden and I wanted to give them to the Colonel Mustang..." Destiny looked down with an obviously scarlet blush on her cheeks. Alex gave a hearty chuckle, picking up the dainty girl and setting her on his shoulder.
"You've got yourself quite the crush there don't you?" He asked, trying to hold back his amusement for fear of embarrassing her further. Destiny covered her face and nodded shyly as she was taken to none others office.

"Colonel Mustang are you decent?" He asked, giving a firm knock on the door. He had once been delivering an important message and walked in on Roy and Lotus, his girlfriend and now wife doing some rather explicit sharing.

"Come in Major" the rough voice from behind the door made Destiny even more nervous to talk to him, she wasn't likely to understand that him being married meant he wasn't available.
"little Destiny told me she had a present for you since I've been teaching her about equivalent exchange" it was all to clear that being a nurturing figure for someone was certainly Alex's forte.

"Oh really, and what might that be?" Roy have that charming smirk and clasped his fingers together, resting his chin on them with an interested expression. Suddenly the little girl felt her stomach flip.

"well I...uh I thought that since I had all these...flowers...and since you looked like you could use some nice scented roses to brighten up your room...maybe you would like one?" She offered sheepishly, extending her flowery offering. Roy smirked again, watching as Alex sat her down and scooted her forward.

"well I don't think any guns or a stapler would be any use to someone so adorable, but how about a kiss on the cheek." He mused, being able to see quite easily why Lotus adored these little kids as much as she did. Destiny didn't think that her face could feel any hotter and yet somehow it managed. Feeling the warm pair of lips press against the burning skin of her cheek made her mind go completely blank. Both men had to admit the squeak she let out before dashing away in excitement was cuteness at its finest point.

She had dashed off thankfully at just the right time, not hearing that her uncle Alex would need to aide the Colonel in a trip that required him to be away for a few days.

And she wouldn't get the chance to hear it either as it would be far to late anyways.
