And now we turn our attention from Havoc and Fuery to Roy and Riza.

Chapter 3-Roomies

Roy had called his subordinates into his office for yet another announcement.

"I've just been informed that there are only two dorm rooms available; the lockdown has caused overcrowding." Roy smirked evilly. "So Hawkeye, unfortunately you'll have to bunk with one of us guys."

Havoc and Fuery rolled their eyes at each other as if to say, "Does he actually think she'll pick him?"

Nearly everyone in Central knew Roy Mustang had a crush on Riza Hawkeye. Except Riza.

Riza glared at him. "Fine, I'll bunk with Fuery."

Roy almost jumped. "What?!"

Havoc and Fuery looked shocked as well. They always thought Riza had a crush on Roy.

Roy tried to compose himself as he asked, "Ok, ok, fine, fine…Fuery are you alright with sleeping with…I mean…bunking with Riza?"

"Yes sir, I'm fine with it."

"Good, good, than it's all settled. Havoc and I will bunk together."

"YEAH!" said Havoc, pumping his fist into the air. "It'll be just like college all over again! Keg party in our room later! Woo!"

Roy dismissed telling Havoc that keg parties in the dorms were illegal unless the Fuher was invited, and instead turned his attention back to Riza.

"Ah Lieutenant Hawkeye, forgive me for prying but I must ask; why Sergeant Fuery?"

"Because I TRUST him." Riza replied.

The colonel turned paler than a sheet of paper covered in glue and dipped in bleach. "…what?" He asked in barely a whisper.

"Ohh! Diss!" Laughed Havoc. A.N.-Here we see the effects of cabin fever on Havoc: He reverts to a frat boy.

"Uh Lieutenant Havoc," Fuery said. "That means she doesn't trust you either."

Havoc blinked. Two seconds later it hit him. "WHAT?! Why not?!"

"Yeah, why can't I be trusted either?!" Roy asked accusingly.

"Well with Havoc in frat boy mode I don't think I could trust him." Riza said. "Remember what he was like in college?"

Havoc nodded. 'She's right. I wouldn't trust my younger self either."

"But Lieutenant Hawkeye why not me?!" Roy asked, almost desperately. "After all we've been through?"

Havoc and Fuery rolled their eyes at each other again as if to say, "Oh shut up, you just want to peek at her while she's undressing."

Roy glared at them "I saw that."

"No offense Taisa," Riza said. "But the reason I chose Fuery over you was personality differences"

"Personality?" Roy asked, confused.

"Yes," she replied. "Sergeant Fuery is the type of person who wouldn't be bothered by the fact that he's sharing a room with someone of the opposite sex. He's the type of person who blushes and turns away when a lady is undressing instead of ogling at her."

Fuery nodded "She's right."

"And I'm not?!" Roy asked.

"Well, no."

Roy turned white again. "Ok…well now that that's all settled…meeting adjourned."

Riza looked concerned. "Taisa, I hope I didn't offend you…"

"NO! No no no!" Roy said. "Not at all. Really, I'm fine. It's your own decision; I shouldn't have pried the reason. But you're right; I cannot be trusted. Oh before I forget; you and Fuery have room 2B; Havoc, you and I have 4I. See you all later."

Everyone left the office.

"Did it look like he was going to cry?" Fuery asked Havoc.

"A little bit."

XxxxxxxXxxxxxxX

Riza breathed a sigh of relief. "Good think I thought up that explanation quick."

The real reason she didn't want to share a room with Roy was because she really did have a crush on him. But…she was against getting involved in an office romance.

And so, secret crushes must remain secret…for now (Whoa; more déjà vu.)
