Roy woke up in the worst mood ever. He sighed and got out of bed. Today was his birthday, September 25th. He looked at the calendar to make sure he didn't make a mistake. He didn't. Roy got dressed and headed off to work. When he arrived everyone greeted him and wished him a happy birthday. He mumbled thanks and dragged himself to his office.
"Happy birthday!" Everyone of his team and friends decorated the office and brought in treats.
"Uh huh." He walked to his desk and sat down. Everyone looked at each other and shrugged.
"Come on Colonel. This is your birthday! Cheer up." Havoc said. Roy just looked at him and then turned away.
"Hawkeye is my paperwork on my desk?"
"Yes sir."
"Come on chief! Lighten up a little. We even persuaded Hawkeye into joining us!" Havoc said while grumbling.
"You guys can celebrate all you want but I have work to do."
"He never does his work without Hawkeye holding a gun to his head. Why does he have to be crabby today?" Breda said between mouthfuls of cake. They all decided to walk around since they weren't being forced to work. Riza sat at her desk quietly working. She didn't say anything to the Colonel. They worked through the whole day. Riza asked to leave earlier to do something.
"Colonel can we leave yet?" Havoc asked.
"Go ahead."
"Bye sir." They walked out of the office and Roy decided he would head home as well. Roy walked inside and turned his lights on. He then went and sat on the couch. Roy was almost relaxed when he heard a knock at the door. He angrily got up and answered the door.
"Hawkeye?"
"Sir." He seemed confused and they stood like that for a few minutes.
"Sorry. Come in" She walked past him with a smile on her face.
"What brings you here Lieutenant?"
"I came to cheer you up." He frowned and started to speak when she stopped him.
"I brought your favorite cake…Roy" He laughed and pulled her to the couch.
"I don't need cheering up…Riza."
"Yes you do."
"No I don't."
"Yes you do. Now shut up."
"I will n…" Riza shoved cake into his mouth to shut him up.
"You're evil Riza, but this is really great cake." She blushed at his compliment and ate a piece of cake as well. They sat there eating in silence.
"You do know the guys are going to force you to celebrate tomorrow."
"Ugh no." He sighed.
"Yeah."
"Are you going to come?"
"Of course not Roy. I don't drink." He scoffed at that.
"Yes you do! You and Rebecca go crazy!" He busted out laughing and she glared at him.
"Fine no present for you then." He shut up then.
"Present?"
"Yes present."
"I'll behave!" She laughed at him and leaned in.
"You better." She kissed him and he was shocked. He gave in to the kiss and wrapped his arms around her. They soon broke off for air.
"Happy birthday Roy." He smiled at her.
"Will you please come to my horrible party?"
"No." He kissed her again.
"Mmm…fine." He chuckled and they headed towards his bedroom.
"Thank you Riza."
"Mmhmm…" Roy kissed her head.
"So is this how you're going to act every year?" She smacked him.
"No. Enjoy it while you can lover boy." He laughed and shut his bedroom door.
