Awesome. The next chapter….woo….

Roy POV

Jeez, if they wanted to talk why do it in my office? Wait a second! They must have taken something from me! I search my office hastily. Nothing missing in this drawer, or this one, or this one. Nothing from the top of my desk. Hhmm…Nothing looks suspicious. Ok maybe Hughes had to talk to him about something really important and Full metal just happened to be there. But he really doesn't have any other life other than the military and trying to find the philosophers stone. So I should have been able to hear it.

This is too much work for me. I already have to think about all this paperwork, Hawkeye not shooting me, dates I might have. Ah the life of a colonel. I wonder what life would be like if I wasn't in the military.

I don't think I'd get as many women as I do now. Wow, that would be terrible. For once in my life I'm glad I'm a dog of the military.

Anyway…Ok I did hear my name, the words feelings, and alone. Maybe Hughes was saying how he has feeling for me!?!?!?! AH! Wait, he's married and has a kid. Oh thank…gosh? Sure whatever. Maybe they were saying how I have feelings for someone and don't want to be alone….Ugh this is going to drive me mad!

Ok calm down, be patient. Think it all through. Hhmm….alone……feelings….and my name? It sounded like Hughes said Mustang and feelings while Full Metal said alone.

Maybe Hughes's feeling towards Ed being all alone was depressing and they wanted to make sure "Mustang" didn't hear….Ok that doesn't make any sense.

What if Hughes wanted to know if I have feelings for Ed and want to be alone with him? I mean Full Metal. What was I thinking?

No. I got it! Hughes thinks I'm too alone and that loneliness fuels his feelings for Full Metal! No, that doesn't make any sense at all.

"Ahem." I look up. It's Hawkeye. "What have you gotten done for me?" Shit. I totally forgot all about this paperwork. "Uh…well…you see….I got rid of everything that doesn't matter." In the most deathly tone she tells me, "Get it done today." And with that she leaves. Wow. I wonder what she's like in bed. shudder Poor guy…if there is a guy.

"Well she looked angry." A familiar and very annoying at the moment voice said. "Hughes, not now. I'm trying to figure out…" He gives me a suspicious look. "To figure out how to fill this thing out. I mean I never seen anything more complicated." Whew. Close one.

"Roy, can I ask you something? Something Personal." I know where this is leading. "I've already told you, your daughter is very cute and yes she's your daughter." I've been over this a million times.

"No, it's about Full Metal." I tense up. I take a deep breath and tell him, "What? Does it have something to with what you two were talking about earlier?"

"Well, sort of."

"So spit it out. I've got a lot of paperwork to do and not much time to do it."

"How do you feel about….Well no…Do you like…no…."

"Come on! I don't have all day!" Well actually I do but I'm not telling him that.

"What are your feelings towards Ed?" I just look at him. He has got to be on crack. Now that I think about it…no. Maes would never take drugs…anyway.

"I think he's a pain in the ass…Why?" He smirks. "So you hate him?"

"Where are you going with this?" Then Havoc comes in. Great, another annoying person wasting my time!

"Well you see Mustang Havoc here wanted me to clear it with you before he went on ahead with the date."

I laugh a little. "The date I was going to…I mean…what date?"

"Havoc is going on a date with Full Metal and needed to make sure you wouldn't try to burn him to a crisp." And to think I was about to steal his date. Weird, I never thougth Full Metal would be like that.

"Wait a second! When did I agree to this!?!?!" And that's the reaction that would tell him that Hughes is lying to me. Unusual but still. "I really don't care Havoc. Have fun." And with that, they leave. Finally…Hold on.

Suddenly it hits me like bullet to the head. (Nice one Colonel) Hughes must know that Full Metal has feelings for me but there is no way in hell he would tell Hughes the truth so Hughes thought he asked the wrong guy because he always thought something went on between us so he decided to ask me without me figuring out that Ed is the one who has the feelings for me and not me for him. He couldn't answer my question because Havoc came in and he would probably freak and tell everybody. Knowing Hughes even thought Ed said he didn't like me, Hughes would see right through him and promise not to tell anyone. This comes to the conclusion that, Full Metal has feelings for me…..nah…
