"Roy's Dilemma"
by: Chibi Viki
Lt. General Roy Mustang, one of the most powerful men in Amesteris stood in front of his desk with a problem at hand. His clutched hands rested on his desk as his mind calculated and debated over his problem. It was a great dilemma indeed… one that no science, government policy or even international diplomacy could ever solve. It required great mental resolve and intense concentration.
Beads of sweet formed and fell down his face. His knit brows and frowned lips twitched every now and then as one decision was countered by another. His eyes never left the pieces that laid on his desk as he dove further into deep contemplation. Never in his life did he encounter such a problem before!
It was only when First Lt. Cain Fuery entered his office that someone had finally offered a resolve to his problem.
"Sir, I think this one is the best one to display on your desk", said Fuery as he pointed at the picture of a smiling Riza Hawkeye-Mustang who was sitting on their bed, her hands securing little Maes by the waist, and Black Hayate who sat beside her… one of the 10 similar pictures which laid on the Lt. Gen.'s desk.
For a while, there was silence between them…
"Yeah but… that's just for the left side of my desk… how about the right?"
A/N: First of all, thanks for everyone who reviewed all my stories! It's really nice to read feedbacks… they help me improve my writing skills and inspire me to write more. Actually, I've already made a few more chapters to this series and I'll post them soon enough. I still don't know whether to follow a timeline or just random moments so… hmm, I'll decide later.
hehe, is Roy becoming like Hughes or what? Well, I didn't want Roy to be totally like Hughes, but rather a meaner, more aggressive version.
In case you didn't get it, Roy's great dilemma was choosing which picture of Riza and baby Maes he would display on his desk.
Oh, and according to FMA official Japanese site, the spelling for Cain's name is FUERY. So that's Cain Fuery.
