I bring you a couple more themes that I wrote during my study break (organic chemistry is eating my soul...no big deal). XD Halfway done! Thanks to everyone who's been reading along faithfully! Disclaimer applies.
Devotion
If Fuery were to describe his commanding officer and the first lieutenant's relationship, he would say it was comprised primarily of devotion. Never before in his life had he seen two people so determined to fulfill each other's hopes and dreams. He supposed the description applied more to Riza than to Roy, as she had pretty much given her entire life to him, but Roy's reciprocated actions did not slip by his notice. Of course, he gave some form of devotion to everyone who was a part of his team, but Fuery noticed that he had a special kind of dedication that he gave only to Riza.
Riza's dedication was very obvious: she was always doing him favors at the office such as taking stacks of his paperwork and fetching him coffee, she drove him home when he was too tired to walk, she ran errands for him, and she always made sure that he was on schedule and that he kept his head mostly grounded in reality. Roy's form of dedication was, however, decidedly more subtle: he would let Riza go home early if she had a rough day, he would take Hayate for walks if she was angry at him for blowing off work or was more exhausted than usual, and he always gave her a small smile at the beginning and end of every day after his "good morning, Lieutenant" and "have a good night, Lieutenant", small gestures that always made her seem more relaxed. Rumor had it that he even sent her flowers on occasion, although Riza would always claim that they came from an anonymous source. Like that fooled anyone (well, okay, maybe it fooled Havoc, but he wasn't exactly the sharpest guy Fuery had ever met).
What existed between the two soldiers permeated every second of every working day, but the team had long since learned how to deal with it. If anything, it actually helped them to complete their tasks and do their best to get along (even if they had all just lost half of their next paychecks to Falman over some stupid bet). Roy and Riza had the kind of determination and teamwork that anyone could admire, the kind of devotion to one another that was said to only exist in fairy tales and bedtime stories. Fuery's life was far from a fairy tale, but he had to admit that he wouldn't mind having his colonel and first lieutenant be his king and queen someday (and after everything they had sacrificed for each other, he thought that they at least deserved that quiet happiness).
