Cureless
After lunch break, the men of Colonel Mustang went back to the office, and readied themselves for more paperwork that would make them work overtime again. During the evening, cups of coffee were passed around the desks to stop the men from falling asleep from the boring paperwork.
"Ah! The Lieutenant's coffee is the best!" Havoc exclaimed after taking a sip.
Fuery gave two nods as he continued on his paperwork.
"You only realised now?" Mustang smirked as he took another big gulp from his mug.
"Havoc! 100 cenz that you can't make a coffee this good!" Breda shouted.
Falman stood up and starting explaining the process of processing coffee beans while everyone in the office listened attentively, except Riza.
"The reason why I made this coffee, is to get you guys to work, not to give you a reason to procrastinate," she snapped, making all the men quiet.
As the rest of the men finished their work, they left one by one, leaving only the Colonel and Lieutenant to finish up the rest of the paperwork.
The moments of silence were broken by the colonel, who suddenly stood up, grinning ear to ear.
"Oh Lieutenant!" he exclaimed like a little kid who wants ice-cream.
"Yes sir?" she replied, eyes still fixed on the documents on her desk.
"I'm sick!" he exclaimed again a dramatic tone.
"A visit to the doctor later could help you in your illness," she noted.
"No Lieutenant," he smirked, "this is not just any disease like the common flu!"
"Then may I inquire what is it?" she looked up.
"I believe I've caught a disease," he exclaimed, hands moving ontop of his heart, "called lovesickness!"
Riza sighed at his childishness and stood up, arms crossed, "so sir, what can cure it?"
"It's very simple!" he explained, "Just a date and a passionate night on the following Saturday!"
"Then I'm afraid that you're cureless," she shook her head and tidied up the remaining documents.
"Oh Lieutenant!" he pouted, "are you so cold to rid a sick man of his only cure?"
"Indeed I am," she reached for her coat, "if that man is so greedy in a single night."
He ran over to her side and grabbed his own coat, "just a date?"
"Probably."
"Oh Riza! You're a lifesaver! I may still be cureless! But you have helped me in my condition, now I may be saved!" he grinned, receiving an elbow in his guts and an playful laughter the next second.
