Letters for R. Mustang
9:30am on Monday mornings was never a fun time for Lt. Havoc. This was the time and day when it was his job to get Colonel Mustang's mail.
"Lazy bum" he muttered "Why can't get his own mail like everyone else?"
"Come on we all have to do it" commented Fuery, who had tagged along with Falman to avoid being assigned some of the Colonel's errands themselves.
"Colonel Airhead got you running errands for him?" laughed a familiar voice as they entered the mailroom.
"Well look at that!" exclaimed Havoc as he pulled the envelopes from Mustang's inbox "Fullmetal showed up without us having to track him down!"
"We were in town" he said with a shrug "Havoc what are you doing?"
"Boring, boring, what?"
"I asked what you were doing" repeated Ed
"Oh just going through the Colonel's mail"
"Let me look" the blond alchemist said snatching the letters from the Lieutenant's hands.
"Look there's a letter from a girl!"
"Probably just some stubborn fan girl" commented Fuery "Even though he's married they still send love letters."
"Let's open it. Maybe he has a girlfriend" Ed said with an evil grin.
"That's illegal" Falman said
"Ok after he reads it"
"Normally he just burns them" added Fuery
"But I'll keep an eye out and tell you if he keeps it" said Havoc "Maybe she sent a phone number."
All but Havoc laughed and then went about their business.
Later that day
"So what'd he do with the letter?" Ed asked eagerly when the men were on their lunch break.
"You're just trying to get Mustang in trouble aren't you?" Havoc asked.
"No.." Ed answered trying to look innocent.
"Well if you must know he kept it"
"Where is it?" Ed questioned that evil grin once again on his face.
"The top drawer of his desk"
Before running off the read his superior's mail Havoc rounded up Fuery, Falman, and Breda so he wouldn't be the only one in trouble if they got caught.
When they reached the office Ed wasted no time snatching the letter from the desk. He began reading it and his jaw dropped.
"Read this!" he hissed, passing the letter to the men.
Hello Sweetie!
I was just writing to let you know that I will be able to come visit next weekend! Isn't that great? I haven't gotten able to see you much since you got married and I miss you so much. I know that we'll have a ton of fun.
Love ya,
Jena
"I can't believe it are you sure this is for the Colonel?"
"Look at the envelop " said Fuery.
The return address was to a Jena Wills from Ellesworth and the letter was addressed to R. Mustang at Central Headquarters.
"Maybe she's just a close friend" suggested Breda.
"Yeah a new definition of close" Ed said "I'm telling the Colonel's wife."
"What is it you want to tell me Edward?" said a familiar female voice behind him.
"This is bad" muttered Havoc before he and the other men stepped back a good ten feet.
Riza was calmly waiting for Ed's answer while Roy looked confused.
"I have reason to believe that you husband is cheating on you" he said not sounding any where near as confident as he had before.
"And what reason do you have to believe that?" she asked calmly while glancing at Roy who now looked angry.
He had know idea what made them think he was cheating on his wife but it wasn't true. He isn't that stupid.
Ed handed Riza the letter, she looked it over and laughed.
"What's funny" demanded Ed.
"This is from my best friend."
"Then why did she send it to the Colonel?" asked Fuery
"She didn't. R. Mustang can also be addressed to me, she just forgot it also applies to Roy and didn't add the rank with the name." she explained.
"Oh" they said in unison.
"Well I'm glad that's cleared up" Roy said as the two were headed to lunch.
"You know I trust you right?" Riza asked.
"Of course. You know I love you right?"
"Of course."
It's amazing, I actually managed to get this up today! I really hope you enjoy reading it because I had fun writing it. Happy Easter!
