Summary: Mustang has grown tired of all the meeting papers that he has.
Notes: I'm in a situation like Mustang's (well, a little anyway) and sometimes do wish that meetings could require less paper, thus this drabble…
Drabble 34:
Meetings
It was not that Colonel Mustang hated meetings. In fact, he knew that they were part of the responsibility which he had to bear as a high ranking officer, and was most glad to contribute ideas that would help improve the military.
What he disliked however, was the piles and piles of paperwork that always seemed to accompany most of the meetings.
Hawkeye would always be piling meeting papers on his desk, and on bad days, they would cover so much of the tabletop that there wasn't even space for him to write on.
Mustang tried hiding some of those papers in various drawers and cabinets in the office, but his Lieutenant seemed to always find the papers and place them back, with not a single page missing or out of place, back on his tabletop.
One day, after leaving a meeting which had turned out to be little more of a bickering session between several of his fellow officers, Mustang decided that he had quite enough for that day.
He piled up every single bit of meeting paper that he had for that day on the centre of his table, put on his gloves, and snapped.
A few seconds later, his tabletop was empty, and there was no sign of any paper ever being on his desk, except for the few bits of ash that floated around.
Several minutes later, Hawkeye entered.
"Sir-" She started, then stopped, staring at her superior's clean tabletop.
"I thought you had several meetings for today?" She asked suspiciously, her eyes scanning the room. "Did you hide the meeting papers again?"
"Why, of course not Hawkeye." Mustang replied blandly.
"Then where are the papers?"
"I've decided on going paperless today."
"But-"
"Thank you for your concern, Lieutenant." The raven-haired man interrupted Hawkeye. "But I think you should go back to your work."
Then he smirked at her before walking out of the office himself.
