There was a thing about Roy Mustang that only one other person knew- and he liked it that way.
He made it to the Hughes' place by five, was greeted at the door by an embrace from Maes and a kiss on the cheek from Gracia before the two of them hurried off to where ever it was parents went when they managed to con someone into taking care of their offspring. Which left him to let himself into the house to look for his charge.
The imp in question was seated happily in her father's favorite chair, grinning ear to ear. "Uncle Roy!" She squealed in delight, imperiously holding out her arms in a demand to be held.
While he wasn't infected as badly as Maes, Roy did enjoy children, so it was with a genuine smile that he complied with Elysia's demands, sweeping her up and dropping a kiss onto the top of her head.
"What shall we do today, imp? I am sure Maes wants me to bathe you and make sure you eat all of the green things with dinner…" Elysia pouted prettily in response to Roy's thoughtful words. "Well, if he wanted that done he shouldn't have left you with me."
It really came down to the little things in life.
Elysia threw her stubby arms around his neck, planting a very wet kiss somewhere around his jaw line. "Stories!" She demanded.
Stories. She would always ask for stories. And he would set her down on her bed, making sure all the stuff teddies were some place where they could listen in as well before beginning. It wasn't really stories she was after, not completely. He would tell one or two, stories about her father, Riza's puppy, the kitten Al had taken in, before being interrupted as she tugged, almost shyly, on his sleeve. He would look down, meet her pleading gaze, and nod.
There was something only Elysia knew about Roy Mustang, something not even Maes was completely aware of. And on those quiet evenings Elysia would crawl into his lap, favorite teddy in arms, and he would, quietly, begin to sing.
Roy Mustang had a beautiful singing voice, and he loved to sing.
