AN: OoOoOoOoOo means scene change and 'this' symbolizes thought. Oh! And Ariark! ; I tried to finished this ASAP but it took me awhile to do since I'm very busy with cosplay! Gah! only 20 or so days left!!
oOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOo
"Ahh! Riza-san!" Alphonse said with a bow, "Have you seen my brother anywhere?"
The 1st lieutenant shook her head, "Iie... But I do believe he is somewhere in the building..."
"Ah! Arigatou!" Al said quickly bowing before he ran off in search of Edward.
Hawkeye sighed, "This is getting out of hand"
OoOoOoOoOo
"What!? Are you saying the colonel's... gay?" Sergeant Major Fury asked in shock.
"Come to think of it... He always has acted a little odd around certain men at times" Hughes stated profoundly.
Havoc chewed on his cigarette, "This is absurd! Why would taisa go after someone half his age? I mean the kid really does hate him too! There's no reasoning!"
"Please... Everyone, I called this small meeting to discuss how to deal with this not to be disgusted by the fact" Riza said calmly, "If we are to do something about this we should help the matter and not try to make it worse"
"So..." Farman stated, "Are you suggesting we... Try to bring the two together?"
A smirk formed on Riza's face, "Exactly... If we succeed we don't have to deal with anymore major fights and conflicts they remove us from our work"
"Well, it's never really been that bad. I mean it sometimes provides a good show!" Havoc implied, "I say we just leave it as is"
"And cause the two of them to run across the whole base playing hide and go seek? I don't see the point of just leaving it Havoc-chuui" Breda said harshly.
Hughes sighed, "Well... What are we going to do about it then? We can't just shove them both into a room and expect them to get along or one of the two's going to be pounding on the door begging for sanctuary."
"Set up a date" Riza said softly, "We'll set them up on a blind date"
Hughes laughed, "That's something I've got to see!"
Fury shook his head, "I have a feeling this is going to turn out bad... Sorry guys but I'm not going to talk part in it"
"Suit yourself!" Maes said, still chuckling.
"...so... Taisa really did say all of that stuff... Correct?" Havoc said leaning back on his chair, "Cause if he didn't I don't want to be blamed for any of it"
"He told me the whole story straight to my face" Riza stated with her eyes closed.
"I'm in then..." Havoc said with a sigh.
"You know I'm up for it! Heck it'll be a bonus if Roy makes a fool of himself somewhere along the way!" Hughes said propping his feet up onto a desk.
"Well, if it stops some trouble around here I'm in too" Breda added.
Farman thought for a moment, "...Mine as well, nothing better to do"
"Good! Let's start on the plans then!" Riza said pulling out a piece of paper.
OoOoOoOoOo
"Nii-san! Nii-san!" Alphonse shouted down the hallways, "Where are you?"
"Al!" Ed said running over to him, "You haven't seen Taisa anywhere have you?"
Al shook his head, "Why?"
"No reason! Say!" Ed motioned joyfully by clapping his hands together, "You don't think I could stay in you're armor for awhile, do you?"
"Uhh... Why?" Alphonse asked before answering.
Ed thought for a moment, "I... Well... Armstrong's trying to get me to drink milk so I thought it would be good if I could hide for awhile. Please Al? Pleeeaaaseee?"
"Ehh... Okay, okay" Al said giving in, "But only for a little while, I do believe we have to pick up a mission before we leave..."
Ed choked, "Mission? Aww... damn it! That means I have to go see Taisa again... Doesn't it?"
Alphonse nodded with a sigh.
"Alphonse-kun, Edward-kun!" Riza shouted running up beside them and handing Ed a letter, "Someone wanted me to give this to you, I believe it's an invitation of some sort."
Ed blinked and took the letter, carefully reading what was inside and soon made his face flush red, 'Dear Edward-kun, I have seen you ever so often and feel drawn and compelled to you. You're golden eyes are like the stars among the heavens and you're long blonde hair, oh how beautiful it is swaying in the lightest winds. Please meet me at the Italian Diner on 6th street at 7 o'clock, dressed semi-formally. From, Your secret admirer'
"A-a-a... Date? Someone wants to go on a-a da-te with me?" Ed choked, "This person sounds creepy..."
Jean Havoc came up beside Hawkeye and whispered quietly enough for only her to hear, "I told we should've gone with the less cheesy one!"
"Shh!" Hawkeye glared back, "He still needs to accept!"
Ed thought for a moment, "Well it never said I couldn't bring anyone with me... I'll drag Al with me just in case"
"WHAT! Nii-san! I don't want to go! What if it's-its some serial killing! Like Barry!" Al panicked.
Ed gave Al a 'whatever' look and shrugged his shoulders, "So? That's why I'm bringing you along. It's not like you can die or anything"
Riza coughed, "So you accept? I'll report it to you're admirer right away then"
Ed looked at Riza confused, "O..kay then..."
Havoc tried to hold in his laughter and walked off with Riza. Something was going on, and Ed did not like it.
OoOoOoOoOo
"So he accepted?" Hughes said with a grin.
"Yup!" Havoc said with smirk, "That kid was freaked out though.... He still accepted!"
Breda laughed, "See Farman! I told you stuff like that would only scare him!"
"Shut up! I'm a poet, not a-a date set-upper" Farman shouted, embarrassed, coming up with words off the top of his head.
Havoc laughed, "So who's going to give the other letter to Taisa?"
"I will!" Hughes said standing up with a grin, "It would be best if a good friend of his can be there to support him"
Riza sighed, "All right then lieutenant colonel... It's your job to get him to go..."
Hughes laughed as he walked to the door, "I'm on my way!"
Riza and the other officers in the room shook their head as he left, little did they know, Alphonse had been listening to the whole thing.
"Why are you doing this!?!" Al screamed as he stumbled into the room a few seconds after Hughes had left.
Everyone stared at the armored boy in shock.
"Why are you doing this to Nii-san!?" He shouted again, determined to get an answer, "What happened last night!? What happened to Nii-san!?"
Riza sighed and rubbed her forehead, "Okay, okay. I'll tell you if you quiet down and promise not to tell anyone else."
"What if I don't keep that promise?" Al pressed on, just to make sure.
Havoc yawned and all the officers in the room spoke in unison, "We'll tie you up"
Al swallowed hard, "I-I promise then..."
OoOoOoOoOo
"Oi, oi, oi! What's new Mustang?" Hughes said with a large grin as he approached the colonel's desk.
"Hughes," Roy groaned, "If you're here to bug me about you wife and daughter again forget it!"
"Hey! I never even thought about saying that! Though their both sooo wonderful, I have a letter to give you. A special someone wanted me to give it to you!" Maes said with a wink.
Roy snatched the letter out of Hughes' hand and read it carefully, 'Dear Roy, I must say you are one of the most handsome men in the military, not to mention the most mature. I was wondering if you'd like to meet me at the Italian Diner on 6th street at seven o'clock, dressed semi-formally. Domo arigatou, Your secret admirer'.
Roy blinked for a moment after reading it, "A date?"
"It's been a long time since you've been on one right? I mean with all the top secret missions and studies and such." Hughes added.
"I suppose..." Roy stood in thought, "Seven, eh? That's not to early... Or late... Whatever way you think of it..."
"Well, it's 4 now isn't it?" Hughes mumbled.
Roy nodded and sat back in his chair, fiddling with a pen, "I wonder who this 'secret admirer' is..."
Hughes laughed, "We'll they told me not to tell! I'll be off now, and I'll give them good news of you coming. Oh! You don't mind if I tag along with you? Do you?"
The colonel shrugged, "No, I don't mind to much... Just don't brag or bug me okay?"
The lieutenant colonel nodded with a grin, "Alright, alright!"
Havoc walked into the room, "Oi, Lieutenant colonel Hughes. Call on line 1."
"Alright" Hughes said with a sigh and parted out the door, "Ja ne!"
The colonel and 1st lieutenant sat/stood in silence for a moment.
"So..." Havoc said with a cough, "You doing anything tonight?"
"I have another date..." Roy said with an awkward smile, "You?"
"Nothing..." Havoc said with a frown, "I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon since that incident with Armstrong's sister..."
Roy nodded solemnly.
"Umm... Wanna grab a quick coffee before work calls us back again?" Havoc said nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Sure... That would be... Nice... I guess..." Mustang yawned.
The 1st lieutenant seemed to perk up a bit, "Alright then! ...Umm... You know what, I'll just go grab some and bring it back here. See you in a bit Taisa"
And with that he left, closing the door behind him and leaving the colonel alone... In his office, again.
He took in a sigh, "Today is so weird..."
Knock knock knock.
"Come in..." The flame alchemist groaned.
Tip tap tap. A blonde haired boy sat down on the couch again.
"Oh! Full metal! I didn't expect to see you again so soon" Roy mumbled.
"Shut up. I'm only here to ask for my next mission and then Al and I are off" Ed fumed, 'Can't tell him about the date...'
"Oh? Leaving so soon to? Ah, that's what to expect of you I guess. You never do stay to long. So few rumors of the Philosopher's Stone, ne?"
"Just shut up and get to the point. And don't try anything this time or I WILL use my fist as self defense."
The colonel smirked, "Don't get me wrong but I do believe you were checking me out in the locker room earlier."
A sea of red and pink washed across the fifteen year old's face, "I was not! You were just... Standing there"
Roy chuckled, "Whatever... I have no current mission for you at the moment, so you'll have to stay in Central a little longer. Sorry" He added, sounding slightly sarcastic.
"That's so not fair!" Edward groaned and hid his face in his hands, "You're here to torment me! Till my soul is destroyed and withered! You're heartless"
Mustang blinked, "That's what you think of me?"
Ed glared at him.
Roy coughed into his hand, "Anyways... That's all... You're dismissed."
The teen stood up and shoved his hands into his pockets grumbling on his way out, "Baka taisa.."
As Ed walked out, guess what? Havoc just happens to come in, back with coffee.
"Here you go, Taisa" He said quietly as he placed it on the colonel's desk and sitting down with his own cup on the couch, "Hagane no... Err.. Edward-kun just came in a few minutes ago, did he not?"
Roy nodded taking a sip of coffee, "He wanted his new mission..."
"...Taisa... Rumors have been going around... They're saying that you and Hagane no are... Well... ...are they true?" The 1st lieutenant spoke softly.
The alchemist thought for a moment, "In a way... I suppose so..." He mumbled taking another sip, "Why did you want to know?"
"Just curious..." Havoc whispered, staring into his coffee.
Roy gave Havoc a suspicious glance then drank the rest of his coffee deeply.
"Havoc-chuui!" Breda shouted slamming the door open, "We need you in the office right away!"
Roy and Havoc starred wide eyed from the sudden noise.
The smoking blonde sighed and stood up, "Alright, alright"
