088. Given name

She was born with the name Hawkeye and it developed a new meaning once she entered the military and was shipped off to Ishbal. She was nicknamed The Hawk's Eye for her sharp eye and sharp shot. She wondered at one point what her father would have thought about this if he were still alive. All the same, she did her job to the fullest extent and lived up to her nick name to the end.

For the most part, since she entered the military, she couldn't really remember instances in which she was called by her first name. In fact, her best friend, Rebecca Catalina, was probably the only one to ever call her by her name. However, Rebecca was stationed far from her and she had to make sure that the soldiers she worked with didn't take her too lightly. She had to deal with men trying to get over on her and take advantage of her during Ishbal, seeing as there were few female soldiers on the war front, and she refused to deal with it in the work place.

She was either Hawkeye or her rank. On missions, she was either The Hawk's Eye or, by choice of Roy Mustang, Elizabeth. There were no questions asked and certainly others knew her first name or some semblance of it. It was just common knowledge that she was Hawkeye. Unless you were Roy Mustang.

He took fondly to calling her Elizabeth when he would call her on her days off, ignoring the irritable looks from Havoc who was more than likely going through yet another break up. She would roll her eyes with these calls and allow him this entertainment. Sometimes in the office, when no one was around and he was trying to pout his way out of work, he would let her name slip only to grin up at her knowingly when she would shoot him a glare.

"Congratulations, Riza!"Turning around, the blonde shook her head as her best friend stopped in front of her and held out a colorfully wrapped gift.

"Rebecca, you didn't have to." Riza started modestly only for her friend to roll her eyes.

"Of course I did! You're my best friend. Where's the General at?"

"He's on his way now." Riza answered, gently shaking the small package. Rebecca nodded.

"Wait to open that later, ok?" She grinned at the suspicious look her friend was giving her.
Come, come now, Miss Hawkeye! Don't you trust me?"

"That's Mrs. Mustang to you now." Both women turned at the sound of Roy's voice as he came around the corner, a knowing smile on his face. He walked up to the women, leaning in and kissing Riza quickly before nodding a greeting to Rebecca.

"Hello, General Mustang. Just came to give my best friend a late wedding gift is all." The dark haired soldier stated coolly with a swift salute before she winked at Riza. "I'm sure you'll both enjoy it." Riza shot her friend a warning look as she turned on her heal and practically skipped away.

"You have a strange taste in friends." Roy spoke up, snapping his new wife from her thoughts.

"Why do you say that?"

"She's not the only one still calling you Hawkeye… Even the crew at the range still call you Hawkeye." Riza smiled. He was whining and she supposed it was for good reason. They had been married a month now and not everyone was completely used to the name change.

"I suppose old habits die hard." She answered with a shrug which caused Roy to pout even more. Smiling, Riza took his hand into hers and pulled him towards her, kissing him briefly. "For many people, I'm always going to be Hawkeye and you know that... but at the end of the day I go home with you as Mrs. Riza Mustang." Roy smirked and leaned into her.

"I love the sound of that, Mrs. Mustang." He whispered. She gave a small laugh.

"Right, so General Mustang, how about we get back to the office. You have some important documents that need to be signed and sent out." She stated, leading the way. Roy allowed his shoulders to drop.

"Riza." He whined after her. She smiled slightly to herself.

"Watch yourself, General. That's Captain Hawkeye to you."

Author's Note: It's been FOREVER since I've written one of these. This idea has been on my mind for a while and I finally stopped being lazy and typed it out. I've taken to typing out drabbles in my phone and transferring them to my computer for revisions and whatnot lately, so more should be on the way soon :D

sorry for the delay. Bringing in the new year with some Royai lovin! :)
