December 3rd - Decorations -

There were floating boxes. Or at least they appeared to be floating, in reality is was Edward carrying quite an assortment of boxes. The only way to know was his voice that drifted across the room.

"Who's idea was it to decorate the damn office anyway…"

Al, who was walking beside him, answered in his ever patient tone, "Umm, brother, that would have been the Fuhrer…" Jean's head poked out of the office and promptly moved his ass to keep from being run over by the…petite…blond.

"Good. You are on time, hello major Elric, Al." Falman was sitting drinking coffee. Along with everyone else in the unit.

"Is that everything?"

Ed replied tersely, "Yes Fury, and can someone explain why no one bothered to help!" he was rather indignant that he had to do it himself.

To that all he received were shrugs, nopes, and a smirk from Mustang. A vain popped in Ed's forehead.

-Ten minuets later-

"Hey! Watch it with that!"

"Sorry Fury! Brenda bumped into me."

There was a loud crash, some yelling, and all around pandemonium. Havoc and Fury were hanging lights. Ed and Al were spraying fake snow everywhere, including Roy's hair if he got close enough. Brenda was on tensile and holiday-ish plants. Roy and Riza were setting up and decorating mini trees on top of file cabinets and such. Falman was trying to keep order, trying being the key word there…

"What?!? I'm over here!" Brenda shouted across the room. Havoc grinned impishly.

"Havoc stop, Edward behave with the spray or put it down! Colonel, it would not be recommended to set those mini trees aflame." Roy whistled innocently while slipping his gloves back into his pocket.

And that was when something terrifying happened.

"OH CHIRSTMAS DECORATING! I SHALL HELP! DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS IS A SKILL PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS!!!!

'oh.Hell.

No.

Please no…

No no no…'

And so was the thought of every person in the room. Everyone froze. Armstrong was in the doorway. Pink sparkles and all. Roy spoke first.

"Umm…Actually, there is something you could do, major." even Riza looked at him strangely, the others varied from death glares to pleading. "You could go downtown and pick up lunch." there were sighs of relief.

"OF COURSE I SHALL GO!" the door was then closed on his face before he could continue.

The pandemonium continued.

Five hours later, Armstrong never did make it back, they were finished. They all headed back to their beds for a good nights rest, leaving Roy, who had fallen asleep. Which was consequently not a smart thing to do around Edward. The colonel had fake snow in his hair, tensile transmuted into his uniform and a drawn on mustache.

Riza was the last one left and took pity on the man. She moved over to him and gently shook him.

"Colonel, sir, wake up. You need to go to bed."

Reluctantly and slowly his eyes slid open. Then he yawned and stretched like a cat would after waking from a nap. "Thank you Riza," then processed what happened, "that runt…"

This drew a chuckle from the blond women standing above him.

He stood and together they walked across the office to lock up and leave. Suddenly, Roy stopped and grabbed Riza's arm.

"Sir?" her answer was a coy grin and a point upwards to the doorway. There, hanging innocently from the top of the door was a piece of mistletoe. She looked back to Roy's face.

"Will I get shot?" damn that grin!

She thought for a moment, then let out a sigh and shook her head a bit at his way of asking. Even if it was a valid question.

"I suppose not." his grin turned to a full-out smile.

Slowly he leaned a inch or two and caught her lips with his. It was light and quick, but passionate all the same. They parted and Riza put a hand on her ever present gun. Roy raised an eyebrow and a bit of fright passed his eyes.

"And that's all you're getting Roy Mustang."

SE: Review please? oh yeah, and any Christmas related requests/pairings? I'll try my best to get out!
