Shortly after becoming Fuhrer, Roy Mustang quickly learned the job came with its ups and downs. An example being, having to attend a lot more meetings being a down, but getting to live in the presidential mansion was an up side to things.
One meeting on his personal safety being a total down.
"Sir we plan on stationing at least one guard on each floor and at every exit of the house in addition to the guards at the gates." Said one of his personal safety advisors.
"Is all of that really necessary?" Roy gasped "It's not like there's been any threats against me."
"Sorry sir but that's protocol, maybe if sometime passes with out any problems we can remove one or two people." Answered another man "Of course it would have to be cleared with your head of security first"
He sighed and sat silently for a few moments before getting an idea that he was sure would solve his problems.
"Gentlemen" he said standing up "I believe I have a solution that will make everyone happy, but I would first like to discuss it with the head of my security."
The advisory board agreed to continue the meeting the next day and Roy rushed off.
The next day the Fuhrer walked into the meeting with a familiar blonde officer.
"Gentlemen I have some news" he said standing next to Riza with a smile on his face. "Last night Lt. Colonel Hawkeye agreed to marry me"
The advisors were silent and Roy had expected this, only a handful of people knew about his relationship with Riza.
"Seeing as she is the head of my security and will be living me we decided that the guards in the house are unnecessary, would you agree?" He asked.
"I mean no disrespect sir, but this isn't just a way of getting out of the security is it?" asked one advisor who looked as though he was afraid that Roy would fry him.
"I assure you that this is not some scheme, I've wanted to ask Miss Hawkeye to marry me for sometime now" he said while wrapping an arm gently around her shoulders. "Besides Amestris is in need of a First Lady."
The men talked among themselves before the head advisor spoke "We have decided that if the head of your security is okay with this then we see no reason to disagree"
"I'm so glad that's over" Roy said as they walked back to his office "It makes me feel like a child in need of a baby-sitter"
Riza laughed and said "Baby sitting is a common phrase so we call it guard duty"
