Author's Note: Roy is jealous of someone and a few of the men are wondering who as their colonel watches from his office window.
A Worthy Rival
It was dumb, he knew, fighting over a woman or even considering challenging someone for a woman's affections, but Roy found that there were times that it shouldn't matter. If he had to temporarily look like an idiot for her to realize how he felt for her, then it was worth it. Besides, it wasn't like HE was better than Roy. He wasn't a state alchemist, or a war hero, OR a colonel! And he sure as hell wasn't better looking, Roy knew that much... or so he at least convinced himself. "And there he goes again." said Havoc with a sigh as he watched through the window, Farman at his side. Roy frowned a little as the men stood, watching the first lieutenant and HIM crossing the gaurds, the blonde woman talking casually.
"He's the only one of us that can get her to smile." said Farman with entertainment in his voice. Roy watched with crossed arms and a slight frown as Roza bent down and got an unexpected slight kiss on the cheek, but she just smiled at Him and continued on. And worst of all, Roy knew she had just praised him!
"They're coming up." said Havoc and the men went to their seats, except Roy anyway. When the door opened, Riza Hawkeye came walking in with Kain Fuery at his side, the two engaged in a conversation, but stopping when they noticed a glare in their direction. Fuery froze a little, figuring it was at him since he knew the colonel would never look at Hawkeye that way.
"Sir?" he asked nervously and Havoc got his attention, shaking his head and then nodding it in the direction that Roy was really glaring at. Black Hayate was standing near the tag, head raised proudly and tail wagging. He and Roy seemed to make eye contact and Hayate rubbed up a little against Hawkeye's leg before obediently following her to her desk, ignoring the colonel. He sat down and let out a small bark, getting a small smile out of his mistress and a pat on the head. Feeling satisfied, a gave one more glance at Roy that seemed to say, 'She's mine and not yours, ha ha!' and then moved closer to the blonde before lying down.
Roy smirked slightly when he noticed the pup was actually challenging him. That was ok though. He way have won this fight, but the fight for Hawkeye's heart was far from over. Black Hayate may have just been a dog, but he was definitely a worthy rival.
