Roy Mustang noticed it for the first time that day. It seemed like a normal day, and it was, but it was the first day he really noticed. After noticing, he couldn't believe he had never noticed before. Beckoning with his hand, he waved Havoc over.

"What is it, sir?" Havoc asked as he walked over to Roy, a hint of annoyance in his voice. Roy didn't even look over at him, his eyes still fixed on their target.

After a moment of Havoc giving Roy strange looks, the colonel said absently, "Lt. Hawkeye sure is beautiful, isn't she?"

Havoc stared at his superior officer before saying in disbelief, "You haven't noticed?" Roy Mustang was a ladies man, and was not one to let a woman's beauty go unnoticed.

"Huh?" Havoc's answer surprised Roy, and for a second, he looked over at Roy, before returning his gaze to Riza, who had been the subject of his attention for several minutes now. Was it really that obvious? he thought to himself. Am I really the only one who didn't notice?

Hawkeye had always seemed "genderless" to him. She was his co-worked and a lieutenant in the military, and he had thought of her as just that.

But on that day, for the first time in his lifetime, Roy Mustang noticed Riza Hawkeye's femininity.

EDIT: Ah! Thank you so much, BlackMercifulFaerie! I knew Riza was a lieutenant; I have no idea why I put captain. o.O;;
