"Um, lieutenant Hawkeye this is not what it looks like" Mustang tried to explain but failed miserably. The sharpshooter eyes of his lieutenant never missed a shot, let alone Mustang's every move, lie or intention.
"Then what is this colonel?" her voice was razor-sharp, she was defiantly not approving.
"It's just a birthday-cake"
"…With a heart on it. And it's got damn pink!" her voice was like poison covered in silk.
"You noticed. I should have known better than underestimate your eye-sight" Mustang relplied dryly, Hawkeye snorted and turned away from him. He continued talking to her, trying to sound desperate enough for her to help him "I told Glacier it was for a friend, I guess she assumed it was for a female".
"It's because all the 'friends' you always talk about is females, colonel" she refeared to the fact that the colonel was at the moment seeing girls every night. A real ladies man indeed. Mustang just scratched his head, laughing uncomfortable at the remark and decided to as quickly as possible get back to discussing cakes.
" I can't give him a cake like this. It's a girl's cake and he's a guy. First of all I'd be dead in a matter of seconds because he would tear my guts out with the Automail for insulting him, secondly nobody can know about this and pink cake isn't discreet enough" Mustang stated.
"Discreet enough for what?" Hawkeye quickly remarked, staring suspiciously at her superior.
"What? It's his birthday ofcourse I have to give him a cake. Please tell Ed Happy Birthday from us" Mustang looked down at his feet, blushing and handed the cake over. Hawkeye sighed, grabbed the box and darted out of the room. Halfway through the hall she stopped dead in her track. Did the colonel just call Full metal his real name?
