First I must say that I don't own FMA, and then, I translated this fic from french to english with the help of MoonStardutchness. Thanks again for your help.
Afternoon Chitchat
All was good for Colonel Roy Mustang to avoid the stacks of paperwork to read, correct and sign, activity that he finds boring to death.
He'd rather have a walk, take advantage of the sunny weather, drink with his best friend Maes, chase after girls, or like now, ask his first lieutenant absurd questions like these:
"Do you think it'll snow for Christmas?"
"Do you think Black Hayate will go to Heaven?"
"If I buy you a mini skirt, would you wear it to please me?"
All those questions exasperate Riza very much. Sometimes she draws her gun and threatens to make a hole in his brain just to add more wind in his poor head, to make him go back to work. Other times she makes up her mind to answer him, in a short way by "yes", "no" or "maybe", hoping that he won't bother her any more and go back to said paperwork.
Today's question leaves her puzzled.
"Hawkeye, did you ever think about getting married?"
Riza raised her eyes from the paper she was reading. What is her Colonel getting at with this personal question?
"To tell you the truth, no."
Hoping that this answer would be enough for Mustang, she returned to her files.
Two minutes of silence went by. Riza thought that the subject was closed. She was wrong.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why didn't you ever think about getting married?"
"Colonel, if I may, this is not your business. Go back to your work or you'll have to stay late again tonight.
Instead of going back to work, Roy kept staring at her insistently.
"Lieutenant, as your commanding officer, I order you to answer my question."
"But Colonel, that is an abuse of power!"
"I know, but I want an answer."
Riza sighed, she won't be able to get around it, and he knows full well that she is too well-disciplined to disobey an order.
"Well, the answer is obvious. To get married you have to be two."
Again, the office was silent for a while.
"You mean that you have never had a boyfriend?"
Riza blushed.
"What I mean is that I haven't found the one who I would like to marry. I have been thinking about a person, but it's impossible. He isn't interested by me."
"Oh really."
Riza decided on teasing her Colonel. After all, as he has fun torturing her with his questions, she will do the same to him!
"And you Colonel, have you already thought about spending all your nights with and waking up with the same person till the day you die?"
"Absolutely!"
By surprise, Riza dropped her pen.
"Really, I didn't know. And may I ask you why that hasn't worked?"
"Let's just say that the one I would like to grow old with doesn't know it yet."
"So, without doubt, this is just a question of time."
"I don't know. That in fact, all depends on you."
End.
Voilà, please review and I'll try to translate more of my fics in english. Or perhaps, if you know french you can read them as they are.
