Location: Colonel's Office, Military HQ, Central City
Characters: Roy Mustang, Riza Hawkeye
Rating: K
It was Valentines Day at Central; a day-off to all employees. Even the Military's highest officials are granted a day-off to celebrate the day of hearts – but one did not care, a Colonel. His name was Roy Mustang. He still persisted to work even though it was not a workday. He was too devoted to work that he forgot about his social life…
"Damn paperwork!" He whined. Then out of the blue, a familiar face marched into his office. A woman, not on usual military uniform but on normal Sunday clothes, walked in – it was Lt. Hawkeye.
"Don't overwork yourself," this was the constant reminder that the Lieutenant reminded him – she repeated it once more. "Don't overwork yourself." It was also Lt. Hawkeye that aided him in success. It seemed that Lt. Hawkeye was the only person he can consider to be "family".
"Colonel Mustang," she started. "It's Valentines Day – not a workday. Why are you still working?"
"Paperwork…" he retorted. Colonel Mustang always had problems regarding paperwork. He may either be too lazy to work on it or he wasted his time not doing it, thus, he rushed in the process.
"Why not go out? Enjoy. Come with me and visit places. Let's eat somewhere," she said it. This is what she hoped to do on that Valentines Day. Going out with the Colonel was her fantasy, eating at a romantic restaurant with him and having a Valentines kiss at the end of the day.
The Colonel looked up, forcing a smile on his weary-looking face. "A date is it then?" This is also what the tired Colonel wanted – a date with Lt. Hawkeye.
The Lieutenant grinned. "Meet me at the lobby once you're done." With this remark, Lt. Hawkeye left the Colonel's office, happy.
Colonel Mustang hastened to finish his paperwork. After that, he met his date at the lobby on the first floor…
