Summary: At the right angle, in a line of sight, one might wonder why he never stopped staring at her for so much as a second.

Theme: 079. Underwater no Futari

Disclaimer: If I owned Full Metal Alchemist, Riza's Grandfather & Pinako would have a wrinkled child named Caesar.

Angles

079. Underwater no Futari

"You know, you would look good in a bikini."

Riza and Havoc turn to look at him as he says this, and although his male friend seems to want to salute this notion the look on the face of Hawkeye says otherwise. But today she cannot protect herself. A no guns, no alchemy 'military holiday' means she can only punch him; and she is nowhere near as fast without a rifle as she is with one.

"I will sue you for sexual harassment."

She threatens as Havoc chases Armstrong desperately to get away from the ensuing carnage. He pats her on the shoulder gently, a smirk on his face. They both know she would never try such a thing. Or at least he tries to convince himself of this notion, anyway.

"That is not sexual harassment, Hawkeye."

The fact that he has not removed his hand from her small shoulder is probably not helping to ease the deadly look she is giving him, but she looks kind of pretty when she pulls angry faces anyway. Not that he would ever tell her that; teasing her is his favourite past time.

"Really? What would you deem sexual harassment then, Mustang?"

Really, he smiles brightly; asking just gave him the opportunity. Sometimes he thinks she just walks into these things for his amusement, the way she acts so sensibly although she knows arguing with him will only make things worse. That is, until she shoots him. But a defenseless Riza is a good one, and he will only get this opportunity once. Repercussions be damned.

"Oh, I am not sure. You know, you would look even better with no swimsuit at all."

I think this collection sort of needed another joke, fluffy piece. Lately everything else I have written has been quite dark and melodramatic, and so on and so forth. Because yes, I do believe he would say something like that, and yes; Riza would murder him for it. But it would be beautiful. Even if this does not necessarily stick to the theme.

Reviews & criticism would be appreciated.
