Military Dogs

Riza Hawkeye had adopted the dog three years ago. She creatively named him Black Hayate. She was a strict owner, but Black Hayate was her dog and he loved her.

She trained him to be a great military dog just like herself. He was to be obedient, well behaved, and above all, protective of all in danger.

And just like his owner- his 'Mommy,' Black Hayate was to watch over Roy Mustang wherever they were and no matter what rank he held.

As Riza Hawkeye became closer to Roy Mustang, Black Hayate also grew attached to the man. He couldn't help it, he was only following orders. He vaguely remembered why he had such a strict Mommy, and was glad that it hadn't been Roy Mustang.

Black Hayate was a dog of the military, just like his Mommy. He was still a gentle, loving dog, though…still, just like his Mommy.

Yes, the situation is quite funny. A dog of the military…owning a dog of the military.

You Have to Come Back

"Mustang, I finally found a real lead on the Philosopher's Stone!" Edward said as he rushed into Mustang's office with a broad smile spreading across his face.

"Ah, that's wonderful, FullMetal. Where are you going?"

"Lior. I'd like to leave as soon as possible."

"Is next week too soon?" A smirk played on Roy's lips.

"Damn it, Mustang, I want to leave tomorrow."

"Edward," the smirk left Roy's lips. "You have work to do here."

"Like what," Edward spat back.

"Like finishing your report from your last mission. Besides working, you have to get permission from the higher-ups… And in order to submit a request, I need to know how long you're going to be gone."

"I don't know how long. But I'll be back soon."

"Of course you'll be back."

Edward sighed deeply and groaned. "Mustang, why don't you trust me?"

Mustang didn't answer. He made an undistinguishable mumble that had Edward smiling again.

"Trust me. I'll come back."

"FullMetal, you're not planning on leaving, are you?"

"Of course not."

"You're lying to me."

"Why would I lie to you?" Edward kept a straight face as Mustang broke down his lie.

Mustang sighed and frowned. "Get out. You're dismissed, FullMetal."

Edward saluted Mustang and left.

"You have to come back," Mustang whispered as he watched Edward's brilliant red jack slip through the open door.

A Sin for Your Thoughts

Years ago, they had thought about it. Years ago, they had done it. They tried to bring back their Mother. It was a shame that their efforts and their sacrifices only created a creature ready and willing to kill them.

They had created a sin. A homunculus, born from the dead, a created human, but not truly a human. They were sins against nature…sins against God. Their thoughts had brought a sin.

Now, they sit in the dark, trying to find an answer to fix what they did. To rid the world of the sin they created.

Normally, the question would be, "A penny for your thoughts?"

But, this situation isn't normal, and neither are these children. So, I ask them, "A sin for your thoughts?"

…The sin you created with your thoughts…
