A/N: Hi! This is my first ever fanfic, so if it is bad tell me so I can write better chapters for this story and for future fanfics. Hope you enjoy it! I got a new hobby now, writing! Well enjoy.
It was an averaged day in Central Headquarters. Everyone had work that needed to be done. As usually Colonel Roy Mustang was slacking off on his paper work whenever his lieutenant wasn't looking.
While she wasn't looking Roy kept eyeing her. Occasionally he would act like he was working whenever he spotted Lieutenant Hawkeye looking up from her typewriter to check up on him. He knew that if she ever caught him slacking off, he would find himself dodging bullets coming from his lieutenant's 45 caliber gun and holding on for his life.
But he couldn't help himself from staring. Riza always amazed him. Her strong-willed mind, the way she could keep a calm cool collect face and that she didn't fall for his flirtatious charms. She also had beautiful amber eyes that looked even more radiant in the light. Her body had all the accentual curves but hide away in a puffed up military uniform. He only wished that she knew his feelings for her or had the courage to tell her how he feels. But his eyeing time ended when 2nd Lieutenant Havoc barged in panting.
"Colonel Mustang!" he yelled looking extremely tired. Mustang wonder if it was urgent just to made his lieutenant run and interrupt him staring at Lieutenant Hawkeye. "You have a phone call from Lieutenant General Grumman! He said it is important, sir!"
"Ok Havoc, put him through. And please calm down," his superior ordered. Havoc soon calmed down and did what he was told to. Within a few minutes, Lieutenant General Grumman was on his line. "Hello General, what did I do to have an honor to speak to you today, sir?"
"I'll be in Central in about five days from now to visit my granddaughter," the general said on the other line.
"It will be an honor if you visit me at my office, sir. I can tell…" Roy was saying but was soon interrupted by Lieutenant General Grumman.
"I don't need a tour guide Mustang, but I sure can visit you at headquarters. While I'm in Central…I was wondering if you can have a rendezvous with my granddaughter sometime during the week." Grumman chuckled. With that question it left Roy confused and speechless. "Like I said when you were going to be transfer to Central if you would take my granddaughter as your wife." With this the colonel's mouth dropped out with an even more confuses look on his face. He did remember that the lieutenant general ask him if he would take his granddaughter as his wife, but he had feelings for Riza and that he never met Lieutenant General Grumman's granddaughter.
"Uh… sir… I don't know…uh …what to say… sir," the colonel tried to reply.
"Well I'll take that as a yes. I'll plan it on Friday afternoon. You need a good wife anyways." The higher ranking said trying to hide a chuckle. He was feeling more eccentric than normal. Roy however felt worse. He started to wonder if Hughes and the general were related somehow but he knew he couldn't yell back at the general like he does to Hughes.
He had to make a reply and fast. "I guess I do, sir," he said looking in horror as what he has said. It was too late to take back what he said. He wished that he actually thought about what he was going to say than to make such a mistaken and say something like that.
The general's eyes lighten up on the other side of the line. He got his granddaughter a chance to be the wife of the future führer. "We will meet you a Central Park. See you there, Mustang!" he said and hung up.
Mustang had a feeling that he would dread that day. He had a date with a woman he never met and he has to act as if he was enjoying it. It was going to be hard because he was in love with another woman, his 1st lieutenant. He Roy Mustang was a womanizer and he couldn't handle this? Maybe it was because that he had a strange feeling that the lieutenant general was going to arrange a wedding after this date, know that the lieutenant general is an eccentric man. How would Hawkeye react when he goes on a first date with someone and ends up engaged? If he knew how Riza feels about him and that she had feelings for him too, then he would ask her to married him off the spot. He couldn't think straight anymore. Should I call Lieutenant General Grumman back and cancel the date? No it would be rude. He said to himself.
His thoughts were interrupted by a familiar stern female voice. "Sir, are you alright? You don't look so good," Riza said looking concern.
"No Hawkeye, I'm fine. I just accidentally got myself a date." Her commanding officer replied. She started to feel anger and jealousy charge through her, but she face calm, cool and collected like always.
Roy could tell that she was mad. He could see it in her eyes. Mustang always wonders why she made those eyes when she hears that he has a date. Was it because she had feeling for him as he had feelings for her? He hoped so. He stepped away from his desk and walked up to his lieutenant who was doing some work on the typewriter. Walked around her desk then grabbing her by the arm and pulling her up to face him. Roy wrapped one arm around Riza's waist to bring them closer together. He could hear Riza's heart beat even faster and his heart did the same. Taking his free hand that was not around her waist and placing it under her chin, tilting his head slightly so they both would bump their noses. Moving his head slowly to hers, closing his eyes, and laid his lips on hers. They were kissing.
At first the kiss was a sweet soft loving kiss but that didn't last for so long. Lieutenant Hawkeye threw her arms around his neck and Colonel Mustang's hand that was under her chin was now on her waist like the other one. They pulled each other closer and the kiss turned into a passionate fiery one as if they were characters of a fairy tale that finally found each other after years of searching. The two didn't let go of each other. It was as if they had drift off into their own little world forgetting that they were at the office. The heat soon calmed down as Riza pulled away. She started to stare as him. The expression on her face wasn't a confused one but a sweet. The look in her eyes said, it was about time. In a mocking way but he ignore it.
"Roy, what just happened?" she said not knowing why he had kissed her. "I thought you had somebody else. You said you have a date with some other woman."
A surprised look popped up on his face wondering why she was asking that question. Shouldn't that kiss explain everything? "It is because I love you Riza Hawkeye. I always did," he said softly into her ears with a warm and unusual non-cocky voice. He didn't give her time to reply and continued, "And that date doesn't mean anything to me as you do. Like I said before, I accidentally got myself a date."
She let out a small smile and said with all her heart and soul, "I love you too Roy Mustang." After having confessed their feeling to each other, Riza lean forward and kissed him back. Still forgetting that they were at headquarters.
Suddenly the door barged out and a short angry 15 years old with a suit of armor standing next to him stomped in cursing, "Damnit Mustang! You lead us into a dead end! How are we going to return our bodies to normal if you keep giving us the wrong infor…ma…tion?" Ed stuttered at the end of his sentence to see Mustang's and the Lieutenant's lips on touching. Soon the couple pulled back from each other in embarrassment. "Should… I come back…later?" Ed said with a shocked look on his face, while the suit of armor beside him was silent.
Roy's gave Ed and Al a look, raised up one of his gloved hand and threat, "If one tells anyone about what you saw then I will hunt you down and turn you two into a pile of cinder so none of you can return your bodies to normal." The two brothers swallowed hard and nodded their heads with fear spreading down their spines.
The rest of the day went like normal except for the fact that the Elric brothers had fears in their eyes.
While sitting on her couch, Riza was reading one of her favorite books. Just getting to the exciting climax of the book the phone rang suddenly. Jumping from her seat in a sudden surprise, walked up and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" she spoke through the phone.
"Hello Elizabeth! How are doing?" said an eccentric voice. She recognized the voice immediately. It was her grandfather, Lieutenant General Grumman.
"Hello grandfather, I'm doing fine," was her reply to her grandfather. "What is the reason that you called for?" she asked politely.
"I'm here to tell you that I will be visiting you in Central in five days from now, so be ready to pick me up from the train station," the eccentric man said cheerfully. Riza was about to say something but was cut off by the general. "I also got you a rendezvous with some man that I it will make a good husband for you."
"Husband?" that was all she could say in the state of shock that she had merged in. "What do you mean husband?" She already had somebody she loved and that was Roy. How could she tell her grandfather that she was in love with Roy? If she did tell him then he would bug her and Roy to death about the rest of their lives since he was an eccentric man sort of like Hughes.
"By husband I mean I think I found your perfect match and you do need a man in your life…" but stopped talking when he heard a groan from his granddaughter. She knew what he was going to say next. He was going to say that she is too independent and a man could keep help her out difficult situations. She had heard it many times. Her grandfather has been trying to find her a suitable husband ever since she joined the military.
"I don't need a man in my life grandfather!" she lied through her teeth because she did need a man in her life and she wanted that man to be Roy, but couldn't say it yet because she wanted to seem like a strong woman she is. Riza didn't want to meet the complete stranger that her grandfather had chosen. It was going to be hard to talk him out of making her go on the rendezvous. "Please don't make me go grandfather!" she pleaded.
With a deep sigh he said,"Can you go and meet him before you make your mind up about having a man in your life." His voice was not as eccentric as it was earlier. She knew that her grandfather was disappointed at her. Her guilt was growing. She didn't like this feeling at all.
"I guess I can go meet him. It would be rude to stand him up," she said trying to remove the guilt she felt.
"Great!" the man said with his eccentric attitude back. "It will be on Friday in Central Park at noon. Don't be late. I'll be there to introduce you two to make it less awkward." A smile grew on his face.
"Ummm…. Grandfather, what is this guy's name?" she asked. She wanted to know if she knew that man or not.
Grumman's grin grew bigger. "Well you have to come and find out for yourself," he replied childishly.
"But Grandfather…" was all she could say because Grumman hung up the phone before she could ask more about that man she was going to meet. What was she going to do? She had a date with a complete stranger. If she tells Mustang about this he would get mad. He already had a date planned but that was before he confessed his feelings to her. Telling him would make him think that she doesn't love him even though it was not true. She could tell him that her grandfather planned out this date with that man and she couldn't refuse, but it would be even worst if Roy finds out that Lieutenant General Grumman was her grandfather. He would use her as a way to reach to the top of the military as the führer. She did not want to be a tool used to get promotions.
The date or as her grandfather like to call it, rendezvous was six days from now. Her grandfather would be in Central in five days and she has to pick him up. Luckily she could pick him up during lunch or make an excuse that she was assigned to pick up the lieutenant general from the train station by Grumman himself on the phone. Roy would not have a chance to find out about the rendezvous because Friday was her day off. But wait, it was also the colonel's day off too. He might want to spend the whole day with her. She could make another excuse like she had to do some errands she never get a chance to do. Riza started to feel guilt build up in her because now she has to lie to Roy who trust her more then anyone and that he was her secret boyfriend that nobody knows except Ed and Al.
That night she had a hard time sleeping. She didn't know what to do anymore.
