Notes: This piece is related to those I wrote for themes #19 and #30. This one is Feury telling the others about the conversation he overheard. The particular manga section referred to is (still) Chapter 37, pages 3, 4, 13, 26, 27, and 31-33.
Ninety: Hidden Expressions and Hidden Feelings (related to #30 and #19)
"Lieutenant Breda," Feury ventured one day, "I was thinking about a conversation I overheard, and . . ." He bit his lip thoughtfully as he considered his next words. "Do you think there might be something going on between the Colonel and Lieutenant Hawkeye?"
A frown crossed Breda's face. Sure, he had considered it sometimes, but those two? Hawkeye could be a stickler for rules when she wanted to be, and Mustang was more likely to let things just roll by. Opposites were said to attract, but all those two seemed a good pair for was poker. If anyone had a good poker face, it was Hawkeye, and Mustang had the skill to get the winning hand. "Nah."
On the other side of the room, Feury not having spoken as quietly as he had hoped, Hawkeye and Mustang swapped wary glances. If any of their feelings were hidden it certainly wasn't from each other.
