Sorry bout the long update time :( Hope you enjoy it :)
Fuery whimpered as he leant closer to the door. He could feel Breda and Falman's heavy breathing beside him as they all leant closer to the cold wood.
"You what?!" A voice erupted from within. That of Jean Havoc's the largest man noted.
"I told you; she said she'd go to the ball with him," Another voice came, just as loud and female.
"That wasn't the plan Catalina, because now she thinks he wants to go to the ball with her and he doesn't want to!" Havoc growled. The youngest black haired man recoiled as the blonde seemed to pour every swear word he knew from his mouth.
"You weren't exactly specific Havoc!" Rebecca yelled back. Falman and Fuery exchanged worried looks. They knew they should open the door and stop the argument before one of them lost a very important limb or in Havoc's case; something he would miss sorely.
They continued to listen as the two bickered loudly, something that wasn't out of the usual, but still they seemed to be getting louder. Breda jumped at the sound of a large bang followed by a growl. Fuery nodded to him before swinging open the door. He winced, expecting to see the room spattered with blood but instead was met by something very different.
Riza brought her cup to her lips slowly, she didn't care much for the orange juice that passed through her lips but instead turned her attention to the newspaper currently on the table. She flicked idly through the pages, her eyes skimming lazily over the small print. Did the Colonel really send Rebecca over last night to ask me to the ball? The Colonel isn't that sort of guy. She thought, her features forming a small frown. I mean I don't even think Rebecca likes the-
"Colonel!" Riza jumped slightly at the dark haired man sat across from her.
"Lieutenant," He acknowledged her briefly before digging his fork in the mound of mash potato. She watched him for a moment, knowing she should ask him about what had happened last night but the thought Rebecca might have lied was overpowering. She blinked then turned her attention to her own plate of food and began to eat. She looked up when he began to speak. "Are you alright Hawkeye, you seem slightly, well you seem to be in deep thought,"
"You could say that sir," she replied bluntly, not really caring for a chat at the present time. "Is there something you want?"
"On the contrary there isn't, but perhaps we should return to the office, we're both done eating after all," He suggested, running a hand lazily through his hair.
"Yes sir," She said as she rose from her seat and followed him out. As always she remained the few steps behind on his left. The only downside was she couldn't see his face. Riza Hawkeye wasn't the sort of woman that expressed her emotions outwardly and she would not make an exception for the man before her and as she turned into the office she was going to just come out and ask him if he had really asked Rebecca if what she had said last night had been true and then..
"Holy shit!" She yelled as she bumped into her superior, both frozen in their tracks. Fuery was passed out on the floor. Breda and Falman were...taped to the cabinet.
"What happened?!" Mustang exclaimed, raising his hands into the air. "Havoc!"
"Rebecca!" Riza growled spotting her best friend at the blonde man's side, a roll of duct tape in her hand.
"I want to know what happened! Right this moment, Lieutenants Havoc and Catalina!" Mustang growled looking around the office. Riza sighed and leant down, at the young black haired man's side. She clapped several times next to his ear. He sat up, looking around jumpily.
"Now tell me what happened Kain," she said softly. He whimpered and pointed at Jean and Rebecca, his fingers shaking wildly.
"Lemme go Riza!" Rebecca whined as she was dragged by Riza by her ponytail out of the door.
"Tell me what happened Rebecca," Riza sighed, folding her arms.
"Nothing," Rebecca started, she was cut off as Riza raised a hand.
"The truth Miss Catalina," Riza said flatly, not bothering to fake a warm smile.
"No," Riza couldn't help but notice the blush spreading to Rebecca's cheek. Riza sighed, the tension between her and Rebecca melting away.
"Did something happen between you and Jean?" Riza asked softly, her tone perfectly serious. Rebecca chuckled nervously.
"No…what makes you…think that?"
"Only that Havoc was the only man that was not tied up in duct tape and any other time he would have been the first," Riza pointed out matter of factly. Rebecca sighed heavily and nodded, the blush becoming more eminent by the second. "You're coming over mine tonight and you're going to tell me every detail. Got that?"
"Yes Riza," Rebecca muttered, sounding like a child that had been scolded.
"You made out with that…that-"Mustang gaped at Havoc, his hand placed behind his head, looking like, at any moment, he would rip his hair out.
"Her name is Rebecca Catalina, colonel," Riza sighed as she walked into the room, Rebecca cowering behind her. The three men that had 'witnessed' the event were cowering in a corner, each lost in thought of how they could be ripped apart by verbal abuse any moment from the blonde man and black haired woman. Or how they could be shot and burned to death by the blonde haired woman and black haired man.
There was a timid knock on the door followed by a loud bark. Slowly, Riza rose form her seat and walked towards it, opening it to reveal a very sheepish looking Rebecca.
Hayate barked happily up at the newcomer, his small tail wagging wildly as he jumped up to lick her hand. "Down Hayate," Riza instructed.
The dog yapped and skittered off into the apartment. "Come in, I'll make us some coffee," Riza shut the door quietly after her friend and made her way through to the small kitchen. "Take a seat,"
"Thanks Riza," Rebecca said loudly as she took a seat at the large wooden table. Various gun parts were scattered about the table. Obviously she's just been cleaning them, Rebecca thought. She looked up from the various gun parts to see the blonde woman walking into the room, her hair now loose, carrying two steaming cups of coffee. Rebecca smiled as one was set before her.
"So are you gonna make me tell you what happened today?" Rebecca asked, chuckling nervously.
"Depends," Riza paused, a sad look crossing her face. "Are you gonna tell me why you lied to me about the Colonel asking me to the ball?"
