Chapter 1: Grumbling.
Colonel Roy Mustang sat at his desk doing something very unusual for him…his work. Since the word had been out that his superiors were handing out promotions to deserving officials, Mustang had been working his ass off. Of course there usually were other ways to get promoted, like setting up a train and getting a subordinate to save the important people on it, but right now Full Metal wasn't here and Roy didn't really have much time. He made a face at the paper he was signing…his hand hurt and it felt like he hadn't been near a woman for a hundred years! Hawkeye was there of course, but she seemed to live to use him for target practice, and she was going out with Havoc. If he made a move on her, she might stop practicing and really put a bullet through him.
"Taisa! Maybe you should take a vacation…" he didn't bother to look up. A bullet whizzed pass his head. He transferred his attention to his subordinate. She smiled sweetly. "I said maybe you should take a vacation, Taisa."
It took him the utmost control not to throw something at her. She was always asking him to work and when he was working, the idiot was suggesting he take a vacation. "But, I have a lot of work to do, lieutenant. I just need to finish it all and…" another bullet shut him up.
"The only problem is who will go with you. The rest of us will be busy finishing your work, we will forge your signature and Havoc can pretend to be you for a while. We need someone who will keep an eye on you and not stand any of your bull shit." Riza pondered when the door burst open.
"YOU BASTARD!" Full Metal barged in and almost rammed the desk into the colonel's stomach. "Again! This is the last time you're using me to clear up the military's bloody mistakes!"
"Onii-san, please stop yelling." Al smiled. "Sorry Taisa. You know how hot tempered niisan is." Suddenly Riza caught hold of Edward. "I found the right person!"
"W…what do you mean right person?" Edward stared at her in shock. "I don't like the look in your eye lieutenant!" he started backing away as Roy started to protest. "I'm not going anywhere with him! Are you mad lieutenant?" Ed looked at the lieutenant. "What you mean going, I'm not going…"
They jumped behind Roy's desk for cover as she fired. "Listen to me both of you. Tomorrow you will both leave on vacation. Edo-kun, you will go with the Taisa to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. You're the only one who doesn't take his bullshit apart from me and I leave his life in your hands. Al will stay with us; I've got work for him! Please do not disagree with me. Forgive the insubordination, Taisa!"
---------------------------------------------------
"I don't want to do this. Al couldn't you have done something? I'm going to be stuck in hell will that bastard! Damn Hawkeye!" Ed grumbled as dumped something's into a small bag. "Why does the Taisa need a vacation anyway? He's too lazy for his own good."
"Nii-san, its just a few weeks. You'll be fine and lieutenant Hawkeye really trusts you. You're going only to keep the colonel company and protect him because no one else could have gone with him." for all his good intentions Al found that he was alone in his room.
-----------------------------------------------
The morning dawned bright and sunny. Ed waited at the station, angrily. The colonel still hadn't showed up. In a way Ed hoped that the colonel would come. A hand tapped him on the shoulder and Ed felt his jaw drop open. The colonel looked so different. He was wearing a button black shirt and blue jeans. His hair was swept back so a few spikes fell into his eyes. (Like the way it was done for Hughes funeral.)
"Um…you done staring Full Metal?" the colonel smirked. Ed scowled. But he looks so hot! Shit I shouldn't be thinking that about my superior, especially about this bastard. "Nothing, you look almost human." Al quickly ushered him into the train.
He stood near the window where they were sitting. Ed had the largest scowl ever on his face. Al sighed. He hoped things would go alright. What was Hawkeye thinking sending them together, where no one could stop them from blowing up each other? He waved as the train left.
