Edward watched in the mirror as the tears ran down his face. His face was gleaming and his golden eyes looked back at him with an astounding amount of hurt.
But why was he crying?
He'd showed up at Central to turn in his monthly report as usually. It was a normal day at the office, everyone was working on something and everything had been calm. Ed had stopped by Havoc's table to talk to him about the trip he'd just returned from when an unfamiliar woman had arrived in the office. She was tall with very dark and flowing hair and her big eyes were chocolate brown. Her face looked delicate, almost like the one of a porcelain doll. Even Edward could notice that her beauty exceeded many others.
As soon as the employees of the office became aware of her presence Edward noticed that all the men became strangely self-conscious. Havoc quickly removed his feet from on top of the table and straightened out the wrinkles on his uniform, Breda put the magazine he'd been reading down and ran his fingers through is hair and Fuery blushed as he suddenly became very busy with the papers on his desk.
Finally, Riza stood up and kindly asked the woman if she needed any help, since she seemed to be lost. The unfamiliar woman smiled at Riza with gratitude as she asked if she knew where Roy Mustang's office was. Riza nodded and asked if she wanted her to phone him and tell him about her arrival. The stranger had said no and explained that her visit was supposed to be a surprise. Riza smiled and nodded as she pointed out where Mustang's office was. Of course it wasn't far away since he had to be near his subordinates.
Edward watched as the woman knocked three times on the door and opened the door as a response came from within the room. The woman closed the door as she walked in but he could still hear as a deep voice welcomed the visitor with surprise laughter. Strangely, he seemed to be the only one to hear it.
In about an hour, the Colonel had exited his office with the unfamiliar next to him. They were talking loudly and laughing, she hugged him as they went out for lunch.
By that time, a rather unnerving feeling started to settle deep in his stomach and he started to shake a little. Before he knew it, he had started to cry. As soon as he noticed the tears running down his face, he'd run to the bathroom.
