Hundred Themes RoyAi - 073
Parting
Still short. Ah, well. The others may be shorter, but I refuse to write less than a hundred words, so don't worry.
They parted several times, but they don't mind as much as they might, they always find each other again, anyways.
They parted after her father's funeral, after secrets had been told and showed.
She joined the military academy, studying and practicing and becoming good. Hopefully good enough to help that driven man with his cause.
On her last year, she was pulled out to help. She met him again that year. She saved his life that year.
The war finished, and he was promoted enough that he could pick his subordinates.
She was one of them, the only female. Nevertheless, she was the scariest person on their force.
She was also the known to be found wherever he was, a silent shadow. She was known to be efficient; the one to go to should Mustang dare think to slack off.
There were times they were not together. Other people found it odd to continue their jobs with the presence of Mustang without Hawkeye or Hawkeye without Mustang.
It was like there was something missing, something integral.
Hawkeye was sometimes found in the shooting range. It was a sight to see her superior watching her, wearing the standard headpiece to protect the ears from the sounds on the range and with a smug look on his face.
He wasn't always there, but people could see his effect on Hawkeye.
(Stronger. More determined. Because he was important, he needs her to protect him and she just can't let him down...)
She was reassigned in an effort to restrain his movements.
Maybe they thought he'd abandon his paperwork and be fired. (She came back anyways. To him.)
Because they were drawn together, like a moth to a flame, and they couldn't be as they are without the other.
And no parting force could truly separate them.
