"Wake up." Roy said, poking Gluttony. "Hey, quit being lazy!" He continued to poke him. "Jeez. does this guy realize he has to get up almost an hour earlier than this when he actually starts as a soldier?" Roy thought to himself.It had been a few days since Gluttony was released from the military infirmary at Central. He had been moved into one of the rooms in soldier's dormitories. It had tight security to insure Gluttony wasn't going to betray them. This was simply for this month, if the homunculus showed no sign of betrayal they would consider him as safe as any of the soldiers. Gluttony was not aware of this.
Today was important as later the automail mechanic was to arrive at Central's military base for Gluttony replacement leg. Riza had called up an old friend to do the work. She had seen the automail limbs made by this person several times before and knew that they were well crafted aswell as long lasting.Gluttony stirred, he wanted to continue resting but Roy wouldn't leave him alone. He opened his small eyes and slowly got up. "K, awake now"
Roy passed him some clothing. "Go take a shower and get dressed. I'll be standing outside if you need my help." He left the room and waited outside.
A fellow soldier stood outside, cigarette in mouth. "So, the homunculus is in there Colonel Mustang? Does he do tricks"
"Well Lieutenant Jean Havoc if you count eating everything in sight a "trick" than he's rather talented", Mustang replied sarcastically.
Jean laughed, "So he's the eater of anything, how we going to keep him in order"
Mustang replied, "To tell you the truth he listen to everything Colonel Riza tells him. He's as obediant as a dog and as strong as an ox. Though I think you'll enjoy him"
Jean didn't understand why he would, from what he heard the creature was creepy and strange. Not something he would like.Gluttony still wasn't use to this routine, He found human clothing not so simple to put one as his homunculus. He had two pieces before (Leotard+shoes). Now he had undergarments, overgarments. Buttoning up things. Zipping things.Not to forget without having both legs it made it harder to put on. Humans had strange fashions, so colorful and bright. Though that wasn't something he minded, bright colors were appealing to Gluttony and he like them. It reminded him of butterflies and rainbows which were very pretty.
Eventually he got dress after his shower, He look to make sure everthing looked right. Everything seem to be proper. He slowly made his way out, he was greated by Roy and an unfamiliar face. He sniffed and him. "Who is this"
Jean gave Gluttony and odd look, he had thought Ed's picture was just bad but he really did look in that manner: He was Short and fat with large arms, bald, and tiny eyes. He couldn't begin to understand why he be smelling him. "I'M NOT FOOD!" Jean proclaimed his voice high, obviousely scared.
Gluttony almost fell over in fear, he wasn't going to eat him. "Gah!" Gluttony cover his head with his hands thinking he was going to be struck for doing something bad.
Roy observed the sight, he sighed. "Gluttony wasn't trying to eat you Lieutenant Havoc. He identifies individuals by scent..." This thought made Roy believe little by little that Gluttony wasn't a homunculi and really was a dog chimera.
Jean sweatdropped he took his cigarette out of his mouth. Poor thing was more terrified of him than the other way around.
Roy grabbed Gluttony arms and started to pull him towards the exit of the dormitory. "Come on. We're going"
Gluttony eyes grew. "But Riza lady said not allow to go! And go where"
Roy continued to pull and him. "You have to come to the Riza's office today until later this afternoon when you'll get looked at by the automail mechanic we sent for"
"But she said.."Gluttony continued, he didn't understand, maybe Roy was mistakened.
"I'm still your superior officer! That means what I say goes. Colonel Hawkeye wanted to tell you this herself but she was too busy to come. So I order you to come with me and Lieutenant Jean Havoc to Colonel Hawkeye's office til then. Understood"
Gluttony became affraid his voice became small. "Y..yes"
Roy responded angrily. "That's yes sir!" He wasn't trying to be mean but, as an officer, he had to break in Gluttony to make him obediant to everyone, not just Riza. This was necessary for if he ever had to be under the wing of another high ranking officer, they couldn't have him not listening to them.
Gluttony got even more frighten. He didn't think it was that important to say sir, then again he could remember when he called Dante by her first name. That wasn't very good at all, he got punished quite badly for that. "Yes.. yes sir." Gluttony sunk down a bit.
Jean looked at Roy like if he had done something wrong. Roy returned to the look, turn and walked towards the exit. Gluttony walked very slowly, he was shaking a bit nervously. Jean put his hand on Gluttony's shoulder. The homunculus' jumped and looked at him, affraid he had done something else wrong.
"Hey, ya don't need to be scared. Roy is just trying to make sure you know he's incharge. You just have to make sure you remember important things like that to keep yourself from getting yelled at. Hey you know what might help your nerves"
"Don't you dare give him that bad habit. We already have to deal with you on a daily basis!" Roy interupted Jean before he finished, knowing all too well what he was about to tell Gluttony.
Jean stopped, knowing that he had been guessed. He patted Gluttony on the back a few times and continued towards the exit.
Gluttony followed, a little less tense and nervous.They arrived at Riza's office. It was a very neat and clean. Riza hadn't arrived yet so they all sat and waited. Gluttony sat on the ground while Roy and Jean sat on chairs. Jean, with a moment of forgetfulness, ask Gluttony, "Hey, why are sitting on the floor, there's more chairs"
Gluttony was daydreaming when he was interupted by Jean's question. He look at the wall, apparently still distracted with his thoughts. "Too heavy"
Jean thought for a moment and than realized his error. Gluttony probably weighed at least 300 pounds, probably more, he could barely fit on a chair not to mention it probably would snap under his weight.
Riza finally entered. She saluted her fellow officer and got down to Gluttony's level, that gained his attention. Riza was trying to be caring to him since she knew his childlike brain needed to be adressed. "So how are you today? Did you have a good rest last night"
Gluttony nodded. "Roy not feed me yet"
Riza smiled, "Well, we'll go for lunch now that I'm here." Riza got back up and turned, speaking to Jean. "The reason I called for you is I need someone to meet Miss Rockbell on her arrival at the train station at 1300 hours (1pm"
Jean was surprised he was asked to meet her, probably the others were too busy for it. Jean was aware most everyone under Riza Hawkeye's command normal duties had been put on hold until the new recruit, Gluttony, was cared for. He saluted her, "Yes ma'am. He then turned and left.
Riza then turned her attention to Roy. "You and I are going to be on the same team today. Its been a while hasn't it"
Roy responded, "It has, and I hope for more times we get put together." He smiled and winked at her.
Gluttony was very confussed by these human's behaviors. They acted odd towards each other. Gluttony couldn't at this time, or anytime previous, understand love or sexual attraction, he wasn't design to feel either of these. "So, lets make it to the cafeteria, shall we?" Roy said to Riza, grabbing her around her arm.
Riza blushed, Roy was acting more affectionate that usual. Most likely attempting to start their relationship once again. Riza removed herself from him. "Not while were on duty." Riza walked and signaled to Gluttony to follow.
Gluttony did and notice Roy pouting. He shrugged it off not understanding why he wasn't happy. Roy then followed after, being rejected for the moment."Finally I'm here!" A young blonded haired women said as she left the train. "Wow, its been forever since I've been at Central"
"Hey there!" Another young women ran over, she was holding the hand of a young child. She was dark complexted with brown and pink hair.
"Oh hiya Rose, how's the family?" The blond haired girl asked.
Rose smiled. "Oh everybody is great. I'm sorry to hear your grandmother is under the weather"
"Oh, she'll be fine. The neighbors are watching her while I'm gone. I'm sure by the time I get back she'll be fine. And I'm sorry to have bothered you with assisting me with the automail surgery." The blond haired women told Rose.
"Oh its fine. I'd love to be of help to you if you need it. So what exactly is all of this anyway?" Rose asked.
"Well from what Riza told me they got some kind of new soldier that joined suddenly but the poor guy lost his leg in an accident. They said to bring materials because he has unsual legs. I'm guessing he's a midget or something." The blond girl scratch her head, wishing she had been givin more information.
"A midget soldier? Now that would be something to see." Rose laughed.
"Sorry to interupt you girls but there's a job to be done, Miss Rockbell"
The young women turned to see Jean Havoc standing there.
"Oh Lieutenant Havoc, I didn't know it was you that was coming to pick me up. And don't give me that miss talk. You know I like to be called by my first name." "Sorry Winry, remember us soldier are all about being all polite and stuff. Well lets not leave everybody waiting." Jean said, smiling a cigarette in mouth.
Jean had a car waiting for them. as they walk to it Rose asked Jean. "So what's so uniqueabout this guy that he needs special automail." Jean looked at her. "Will just say he's... a little bit different than you and me." Rose stopped and try to understanding his meaning, she looked at her son than return the look. Rose shrugged and continued. Entering the vehicle they made their way towards the military base and soon they would understand the uniqueness of their patient.
