"Hey!" Jean Havoc poked Roy Mustang in the side. "There's that guy again! He's so standoffish! He wouldn't even talk to me! What's he doing in the military, anyway? He's scrawny, wears earrings and is awfully… curvy." He gasped in realization, causing his cigarette to meet the ground.
Roy let out a laugh. "That could be because he's a she, and doesn't take too kindly to people who can't figure that out."
"You know her?"
"Know her? Her dad taught me alchemy! Do you think I wouldn't know her?"
"Please introduce me!" Havoc begged.
Roy smirked but led him over. "Hey, Hawkeye. I'd like you to meet an acquaintance." He motioned to Havoc.
"My name is Jean Havoc!" he exclaimed excitedly. He waited for a minute, then reminded her, "This is where you say, 'Nice to meet you. I'm-'"
"Not interested," Riza finished quickly. "If we're done here, I'd like to-" Havoc grabbed her hand as she spun around to leave. "Let go of me."
Havoc, unfortunately, was rapidly becoming stubborn. "Nope. I want to know your name."
"Havoc," Roy snickered, "I don't think this is a good idea."
However, Havoc refused to release his captive. That is, until she pulled out a gun. "Leave me alone, or I'll report you for harassment!"
Poor, bewildered Havoc let go. However, as soon as Riza walked off, he got a sparkly look in his eyes. "If this is what it's like when she doesn't like me… I wonder what it's like when she likes someone."
Roy shook his head, a smirk still on his face. "You know, somehow, I don't think you'll ever find out from experience, Havoc."
"A guy can dream!"
"Dream on."
"Roy!" Havoc ran off to catch up with him. "C'mon! You've gotta know something! Did you guys go out? Are you in some sort of relationship? Is she-"
"Havoc, don't make me hurt you."
"Come on! I've gotta know!"
"Well, I can't help you."
"So she doesn't like you either, huh?"
"You know, you're not really making me any happier. At least she can stand me."
"I wonder how…"
"Havoc."
"Oh look- there's Breda. I think I'll talk to him. Bye now!"
The End of the Beginning…
