Skillful & Clumsy (56)
Roy Mustang was skillful but at the same time he was clumsy. He knew the ins and outs of alchemy and his specialty of alchemy, but didn't realize that the rain negates his flame attacks until it was too late. That made him clumsy, but Riza Hawkeye always had his back, saving him, both from the embarrassment and the danger he would inevitably get himself into. Some might say that he is the clumsy one and she is the skillful one, but sometimes it goes both ways. He is sometimes careless when it comes to his paperwork, and Hawkeye is the one to save his butt then too. It is true Mustang can be clumsy, or rather careless, in the heat of battle and she is known as the best sharpshooter around, but he can be skillful in other areas while she is clumsy.
For instance, their first time out on a date and a certain special night, he had been the skillful, knowledgeable one, when she was clumsy and gawking. Mustang is well known as a player, and no one seems to know if Hawkeye has ever gone out on even one date. But she has, and with him. Their first time in bed together was passionate and loving, but only one of the couple's first time: Hers. He was experienced and took things slow for her sake, but still she was clumsy at making him feel as good as he was making her feel. He forgave her, but she didn't forgive herself and promised him she'd get better.
And she did….boy did she!
