Chapter 3
Flirting Time
Hawkeye got in the office very early and soon came the others. It's the start…..
"So here it begins. I don't know how, I don't know when, or where…. That's " Havoc murmured to problem now
"But I don't even know how." She said with confusion.
"Then look into a dictionary." That was his best advice to her.
"But I don't have one."
"Lieutenants, continue your work." Havoc went back to his place and continued his work like a good boy.
"Yes, my charming superior." She suddenly said as she turned back by rolling the wheels of her chair, trying to hide her face.
"I...I beg your pardon lieutenant?" he was scratching his head out of confusion.
"I said yes superior. Something wrong with that, sir?" she looked at him this time, pretending she said the truth.
"No nothing. I just thought you said… never mind…" he said as he continued doing his job.
"Oh I'll never keep up with this situation. I can't always say that. That is, of course it's true. Oh come on! Now what the heck am I thinking!!! Hmp….." she thought to her inner self.
"Well done. I didn't know she's good in this category." Havoc thought with a smirk. Unfortunately Mustang noticed it, but didn't want to argue about it already.
Break time…….
Hawkeye was just finish with her report and she went to the colonel's table. Mustang was concentrating on her report. (Unbelievable)
Well, they were the only ones who were left behind in the office.
"This is it, I have to make a move." She told herself, convincing that there won't be anything wrong to what she'll do. She suddenly sat on the Mustangs desk, tapping her fingers on it and swinging her legs and slowly looked a him.
"Sheeesh, what the heck am I doing. This is so much stupidity! What will he think? That I'm one crazy psycho?"
"Is there something wrong lieutenant? Mustang called out while she was thinking. She snapped out of her worries.
"Uhmm…. Ahhh… " she started, lost in her words.
"I'm just wondering if you had a dictionary, sir?" She stood up.
"Uhmm… what for lieutenant?" he raised his head from work.
"I have to search a list of words for my report, sir." Well that's new. You usually knew more about things than I do. Well in that case, if I'm correct, I have two of them, in fact here it is." He handed them over to her. "By the way, why were you sitting on my desk?"
"I… uhmmm.. my legs are tired already doing work. Anyway, thank you sir. I'm off now." She went to her table and checked on it.

Oh, so it's like uhm… a fake love… That's ridiculous!!!" her eyebrows went together while thinking.
"Something odd lieutenant?" Mustang asked with curiosity, seeing her weird expression.
"Nothing sir…" she said as she scratched the back of her neck. "Uhmm… sir?" she continued.
"Yes lieutenant."
"I was just wondering sir if… if…." Thinking on how to tell him what he thought.
"If what Hawkeye?"
"May you can join me at lunch time. You know if you can eat with me later?" He thought for a while.
"no problem with me Hawkeye. Why? Is something wrong with the gang???"
"No sir. It's just; I want to be with others today."
"Ok, lunch time it is." He said with a smile and continued working.
After Break…….
So… what happened a while ago?? Anything?? How's it going?" Havoc asked with a slight interested tone.
"Well for your information, flirting means a fake love. Second, I'm eating with him at lunch time, and third, what happens when I accomplish the dare, aside from you won't tell anybody about the little secret."
"Hmm.. Well I haven't thought of that. That is if you can do it. Why, have any suggestions?"
"You bet I can do that. Well let me think.(thinking, thinking) Aha!!" she gave an evil smile." Court Schezka."
"Are you out of your mind!!!? I would court anybody, for as long it's not her. She's a freak!" he said with disgust.
"How could you be so mean? Why not? She might be meant for you. (Smirking) And just imagine, when you get married and you get ba-…"
""…STOP it!!! Stop it! The horror! It's so disgust-"
"May you please lower your voice Havoc. Some people want to finish their paperwork before lunch" Mustang commanded.
So he went back like a good soldier.
LUNCH TIME……
Havoc went to lieutenant Hawkeye to say something. "Any suggestions"
"Yeah, court Schezka, at least a whole month relationship will do. Take it, if you thing I'll lose" she said daringly.
"Fine, Fine, fine. You'll lose anyway. Just make sure to stick with the deal." He left.
After a few minutes….
"(Ehem) Uhm…. Sir…lunch time…." She said with a shy tone.
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry about that lieutenant. I was doing my report."
"It's ok if you won't eat with me, just do your report, sir." She said with a smile, trying to move on.
"No, I'm- I'm coming." He stood up and they both went out.
Soon, they got their food, took a seat and started eating.
"Think Riza. think of a topic. Flirty stuff, think…" she thought hardly as she looked into the air.
Mustang thought she was bored, because she was looking in the thin airspace.
"something wrong, Hawkeye? It seems you're bored." She went out of her thoughts.
"Uhm… nothing sir, so uhm.. how's work?" she asked so they won't be bored to death.
He smirked. "Something I said, sir." "Nothing, you just sounded like a wife."
She turned a bit pink with what he said, but smiled. "I'm sorry sir. I didn't mean for it to sound like that."
"There's nothing wrong with that Hawkeye. It just really made me laugh." Then she smiled.
"Well, answering your question, it's just fine. Since it's connected with the previous report I was doing, it was easier, since you explained it well." He said with a smile as he took a sip of his mushroom soup.
"At least I'm glad I was able to help, sir." She smiled so sweet.
"May I ask you something?" he butt in.
"You are asking me something now" she joked. Mustang looked at her and grin.
"Fine, you're right." He sighed in defeat.
"Is- uhm, somthing, with, uhh," he talked, as he hung in every word. Riza tried to understand his chop chop sentence while she drank.
"With you, and.... Havoc" he finally said it right, which made Riza choke.
"Sir? Wha made you think that there's something with me and Havoc?" she finally got compose of herself this time.
"Well, lately, you two have been quite, naughty to each other." He explained with a sheepish tone.
"Even if he's still the last man on Earth, no, I'll never have an intimate relationship with him" she reassured him with a smile.
"Alright," he relieved. Then they walked together going to the office.
"It's the first time we really ate together, wherein we talked. If you won't mind, uhm, let's do it again next time."
"No problem, sir. Glad you enjoyed it." As they walked together to the office
Then he suddenly remembered something and touched his pockets.
"Where's my keys." His face suddenly went into a worry mood.'
"What keys? Do you drive?" she said with concern
"Yes. But my key to my drawer is missing." Then he checked in his pocket and took his wallet.
"I thought I lost it, again." he calmed down.
"If you won't mind sir, is that Justine?" she asked as she saw a girl in the picture of his wallet.
"No, not at all. She's, she's my mother." Her mom had a long blonde hair, white colored skin and had amber colored eyes.
She looked beautiful, yet simple in the picture.
"she looks nice and gentle. I didn't know you had a beautiful mother."
"Yeah. You both look the same, don't you?"
"is he telling me that I'm, I'm beau-, beautiful?" she thought as she glanced to his superior.
"I don't think there's something wrong to say that you're beautiful, is there?" he asked.
"No sir, no there isn't. I appreciate the compliment sir." She said as they both went to the office.
They continued working until the day ended.
---------------------------------------------------
The next day…….
"Hey Fury, how are you pal. Why the heck were you- what happened with your arm?" Havoc asked with concern
"My arm got sprained after our arm wrestling. I just found out about it when I got home." He took his seat.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that Kain, I really didn't mean to hurt you." She apologized.
"no it's no problem, Hawkeye. But I got a problem, I can't work. I can't write because my right arm is broken
"Everybody thought for a while.
"You can always type with one hand." Mustang came in.
"Well you really can't go away with his suggestion, He's a genius, you know" Havoc said as he lit a cigarette.
"If you say so sir. Anyway, I got some rest already, so I don't mind working." Fury said voluntarily.
"See, I knew I always had something in mind." He said in a proud way.
"Yeah, sure whatever." They all said in unison.
Soon they all went for a break after work.
"Hey lieut.! Aren't you coming?" Fury called out
She took a quick look at him, then at the colonel. "I- I still have work to do" she replied with a smiling face.
Meantime, Mustang kept smiling the whole time, ever since he got in the office. He was usually the grumpy kind of a man, when it comes to work.
"what's with the smiling face, sir."
"Nothing. It's just that I'm meeting Justine later. She told she had to make up for me. How sweet isn't it." He said with sparkling eyes with a drooling mouth as he looked at her picture.
"Sheeesh… is he really that in love with her. Is she really more desirable, flirty, and- what am I thinking? Am I getting too much jealous with this Justine. Hmp…" she thought as her eyebrows went together and her pen was unconsciously scribbling on her report. She bravely went straight to him and took his beloved picture. She looked at the woman in the photo, and her brave angry face went down. Looking at the picture, the female had long ebony colored hair, whitish skin and brown eyes.
"So this is the type of girl that he likes, huh." she thought.
"well, she looks nice. She's one lucky girl, I guess." She said as she handed to him the photo.
"what makes you say that, Lieutenant?"
"Because, of all the girls that admires you, you chose her. Well, whatever you're happy at, I'm happy about it sir. If you think that she's the one, go for it. But think about it very well" she said with a fake smile as she took her purse and headed for the door to go to eat.
"Honestly Lieutenant. I- I always had my dream princess, or as we all know, the girl I wished for." She turned back to him and listened.
"I've thought that, maybe Justine might not be the one, because I've always dreamed of marrying- a blonde girl. But you really can't have it all. Still, I'll try to stick with that dream of mine." He said as he rested his face on his palms, looking at her.
She smiled pleasantly and said "Just look around, you have a lot of choices"
--------------------------------
In the canteen……..
"Hey guys, may I join." She said as she took a seat.
"Where's the colonel?" Breda asked as he took a spoonful of soup.
"Doing his work." She said as she took of her mashed potato.
"Really? Well that's new" Havoc said as he rolled his eyes, looking at her.
"Yeah, I guess it is." She rolled her eyes looking at her.
"Hey Hawkeye, how come you've been so "close" to Havoc this days, and you're sitting right beside him right now. You usually hate being near him because of the smoke." Breda said with a playful smirk.
Hawkeye's eye twitched and accidentally threw her mashed potato in her spoon to Breda.
"Ewww… Breda, eww…." Havoc pushed her slightly far away from her.
"And what's that suppose to mean, Breda?" Hawkeye looked at him with keen eyes.
"That's disgusting! Really disgusting. In fact, she's too perfect for me." He added
"Too perfect? What's that suppose to mean. Like as if she can, sing, dance, act and more." Breda asked.
"Of course not! That's not what he meant, right Havoc?
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. What I mean is she's too strict. I'm not even planning to marry a blonde, you know.'
"Really Havoc? That means Schezka has a chance. She said loud enough.
Fortunately or maybe not, Schezka was passing by their table when she heard her name.
"Pardon? I thought I heard my name" she asked as she held her tray. "In fact, ye-"
"No she didn't, we were talking about ches-, chestnut. Yup, chestnut. Havoc said as he covered her mouth.
"Oh, ok. Well, I'm going." Schezka went on.
Riza chuckled. Her plan worked.
"That was not nice, Hawkeye! What if somebody heard that and made a rumor that I like Schezka!!!!" Havoc shouted aloud as he stood up. Everybody was staring at him. "Oh boy…" Havoc went down and sat. Everybody was whispering to one another and gossiping around. Havoc's vexed eyes were looking at Hawkeye, who just stopped from giggling.
"This is your entire fault!" Havoc's eyes were popping because of anger as he strangled Hawkeye.
"Help!!!" she said. "Stop it Havoc you're hurting Hawkeye!" Breda and Fury tried to control Havoc.
"Hmp. Fine, I'm going back to the office." Havoc stood as he lit a cig as he started to go to the office.
On his way….
"Hey, isn't that Jean Havoc..."
"Yeah, I heard he likes Schezka, the bookworm so much, he even say it out loud." Two men were gossiping.
He was really irritated, but he still moved on.
In the office….
"Hey there Mr. Loverboy." Mustang greeted sarcastically.
"What the $#!&$)(?!!! For the last time I DON'T LIKE THAT FREAK!!!" he shouted and burst in anger.
"Calm down lieutenant. I just heard it from pipsqueak guy. He told me he heard you loud and clear. I didn't know you like jellyfish looking bookworms"
"It's not true. This is all Hawkeye's fault."
"You mean she set you up? Pretty impressive."
"Well sort of like that. Here's what happened…

-------end of flash back.
"So… wait you strangled her?"
"She needs to learn some manners, you know?"
Mustang threw a piece of crumpled paper on him.
"What's that suppose to be!"
"She's a woman, you idiot. This means you have to be patient and gentle."
"Fine… Fine… fine… You just love her so much, that's all." Havoc teased. Mustang's eye twitched.
"What do you mean, Havoc. I- I just care, that's all."
"Really, colonel? You're sure about what you're saying?"
He didn't reply….
Dismissal Time…..
"Time for my plan…." Hawkeye said in her mind.
Well this is for now…
Is the story stupid or what? Make a comment, send a review. I used the "$&(" stuff like this because I really don't want to put mean words in my ficcy. The Havoc x Schezka thing is totally made up. So who do you want to win, send me a review so I can decide on the ending part of the story. Do you want Havoc to suffer with Schezka, or not? Justine is OOC, really. And the meanings of the word flirt are really true. I got them in the dictionary
Winglessfairy25: Thanks for the compliments!!!!
To everyone: Thank you so much for reading. Please don't forget to review or else, you won't get another chapter of the story.
Thank you very much!!!
