FMA Drabble 41:

Autumn

Autumn had come to Amestris, and the trees were vibrant with various hues of red, orange and gold. The weather had cooled from the highs of summer, but the sky remained clear and cloudless. All in all, it was a pleasant time to be outdoors, and many of the people of Central City took the opportunity and did so.

This opportunity was not missed at Mustang's office either, with the man declaring that everyone could take part of the day off to go out for strolls or other similar outdoor activities, much to Hawkeye's irritation.

Everyone else left the room quickly, obeying their commander's "orders", leaving the Colonel himself to placate his Lieutenant, and perhaps to persuade her to take a break as well.

"The weather is perfect, Lieutenant," Mustang told the blond woman. "Such chances to be outside don't come that often you know."

"But sir - "

"Don't worry about the paperwork, Hawkeye." He interrupted her, knowing where her protest was leading to, "Most of it isn't quite that urgent, and there isn't really all that much of it either."

His Lieutenant did not reply, but stared pointedly at the large stack of paper on his desk.

"Okay, so maybe it's a little more than I said," Mustang acknowledged a little sheepishly, "But I'll finish it quicky tomorrow, I promise."

"Anyway," The man continued on, before Hawkeye could say anything else. "Would you want to spoil their fun by calling all of them back inside to do paperwork so such a beautiful day?"

As he said this, he gestured out of the office window to the scene at the central courtyard, where the rest of the team had gone, and where they seemed to be having fun.

"Alright then." Hawkeye conceded after a moment. It was a rather nice day, after all.

"Good!" Mustang looked relieved at her change of mind. "You should go out and relax a little too."

After a short pause, he turned around and headed out of the door. "I think I'll go get Ed and have a long romantic stroll with him in the nearby park..."

Hawkeye rolled her eyes.
