Chapter 21

Stuck

Roy got out of his car and slammed the door shut, got ready to walk into headquarters. He felt something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it. The man prepared to walk away, when he felt something tug on his left sleeve.

The Colonel twitched, and looked. His sleeve was stuck in the door. Not only that, but his keys were in the car.

In Roy's mind, he let out several screams, yells, and curses that shouldn't even exist. He started to panic.

But wait, he could cover it up and say that he was waiting for someone, but then, that would be wrong for two reasons: 1) He was a Colonel, and Colonel's don't pick other people up unless it's for dates, and 2) The passenger seat is on the other side of the car.

Roy felt sweat dripping down his neck as women passed by to wave and soldiers as well.

"Sir, what are you doing out?" Riza asked, tapping the gun stabbed to her hip.

"Um, I was waiting for everyone to go in." Roy answered, not noticing the never ending twitch in his left eye.

"You do know, Sir, you need to have the paperwork done in one hour?" the lieutenant raised an eyebrow, and noticed Roy had his hands behind his back.

"Sir, I don't mean to ask this, don't take it personally, but. . . Do you have a secret?"

"Wh-what do you mean by that?" the raven haired man asked.

"Are you a cross dresser?" Riza eyed him closely. "is it. . . That time. . .?"

"NO!" Roy yelled, turning beet red. "now, go do the paperwork or whatever you do, Lieutenant, I'll be there shortly!"

Few minutes later. . .

Havoc raised an eyebrow as he saw the colonel just standing there in front of his car, hands behind his back, and not moving an inch.

"No, he's not a cross dresser," Riza said, as the blond was going to open his mouth to say something.

Few more minutes later. . .

"Hey, Baka Taisa, what are ya doing there?" Ed asked, in an unbelievably good mood.

"Waiting."

"For who?" Ed grinned. Roy's eye twitched. What was he getting at? The raven haired man kept close to the car, trying to let his sleeve loose so he could make a run for it. The younger alchemist looked inside the car.

"Ooh. I get it!" the blond said. "you're waiting for someone to unlock your door!" Ed walked over to the passenger side and opened the door, getting out the keys, and also opening the driver door without having to unlock it.

Roy's jaw dropped.

"The door was unlocked the whole time, you Baka." Edward laughed. "I always knew you were too lazy to do your own work!"

And with that, the blond walked away laughing, leaving Roy standing there in embarrassment.

Review, please! Lol, this was based on a true story, although I knew the door was unlocked. XD
