Drabble 13
Flower
The colonel came to work early that morning and discovered a single red rose lying on his desk.
Although finding a rose on your desk on your birthday was nothing strange, the colonel still found it hard to concentrate on the pile of paperwork in front of him. The identity of the mysterious sender kept nagging in the back of his mind.
It couldn't have been any of his admirers, they knew where he lived. His doorstep was piled with presents that day, and he had to blast the door open to get to work. Besides, no common people can get into the Headquarters, not to mention his desk.
It couldn't have been Hawkeye. She had already saluted him that morning and coldly handed him a plain piece of paper with "Happy Birthday Colonel" written on it. The chew mark on the corner suggests that Hayate had carried the birthday card to work for its owner.
It couldn't have been any of the female staff. Hawkeye would have gunned them down as soon as they set foot in his office.
He stared at the rose. Red...signifying love?
He shuddered to think it was any of the other staff, and he quickly pushed the thought of Alex Louise Armstrong out of his mind before his stomach disobeyed him.
He tapped his pen on the table. It had to be someone who could enter and leave his office without causing suspicion, who didn't know where he lived, and who either has undying love for him or just likes the colour red.
The door clicked open and he looked up. Blond hair, golden eyes, and that red jacket… Red?
"I came earlier to hand in my report but you dumbass colonel weren't here, so I –"
"Left a rose?"
Edward Elric stopped mid-sentence and glared at his superior, his face faintly flushed. The colonel smirked.
"Ed, you do know what red signifies, right?"

OMAKE:
Ed (tilts head): Red? As in the colour evoked by light consisting predominantly of the longest wavelengths of light discernible by the human eye?
Roy: … I love you too, Ed.
Ed: Yeah, yeah, happy birthday… Bastard.
