One could know better than to trust Hughes to keep his mouth shut. Hughes had developed many copies of the pictures and started a rumor about Roy's proposition.
When Riza came to work, practically everyone had known. Surprisingly, Roy was early for work. Ding. They went into the same elevator. When they both had just stepped into the building, everyone was staring. Now that they were in an elevator full of people who had heard, everyone was staring at them. Some were whispering.
Someone had told. Who?
Where the hell is HUGHES!
Hughes was caught red-handed because the elevators door opened to reveal Hughes passing the pictures and whispering something into a secretary's ear. Ah, Lieutenant…… Ack! Note to self : Avoid the lieutenant at all costs.
"Colonel….Mustang…..Proposed….Lieutenant…." Everybody was whispering to each other about Roy and Riza. Edward wondered what had happened. He approached a girl and asked them. He was so shocked by what he heard.
cough "What's going on?" "Don't you know? I heard that Colonel Mustang had proposed to Lieutenant Riza just yesterday." "Really?" "Yeah, it's true. I even have a picture. See." "Oh, this is……thanks anyway." Man, that bastard colonel really wants to die, doesn't he? But pictures can be faked…… I'll find out sooner or later. I just have to pass these stupid reports to the bastard colonel.
"Al, I got to give these reports the colonel. I'll meet you back at the room."
"Sure, Nii-san." Nii-san……
Knock knock "Come in."
"Here. The stupid reports that you wanted. And to think that I just came back and I'm all worn out…." Stupid reports wanted by bastard colonels.
"Who's there? Oh, Fullmetal. You're back. I'm sorry I didn't see you. Did you make any discovery about the philosopher's stone?"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT IS AS SMALL AS A SPECK OF DUST!" That bastard……
"Now, cool down, Fullmetal, I didn't say that." Still touchy it seems.
"WHATEVER. I'm tired. Roy the womanizer. Bye, bastard colonel."
"Womanizer……." His vocab seems to have increased…but it pisses me so……
"Edward, you're back. How was the trip?"
"Oh, it was the same. Can I talk to you for a sec?" "Yeah, sure."
Outside Roy's office.
"Where's Alphonso?" Those two never separate from each other…do they?
"He's resting at our room. By the way, I heard rumors... They say that the colonel….well…he…proposed…." Click. Even Edward knows!
"Ah, never mind. I got to run. Bye now." Hehe...!
Ah, someone had nothing to do and blabbered about something…so it seems.
Knock. Knock. "Come in." "Sire, there seems to be a commotion outside."
