Somewhat Human (Fullmetal Alchemist)

34.5: A Simple Man

=Flashback=

" And that's all we know about you."

Hawkeye closed up the file she read from and put it back on the shelf, everything related to (Y/n) was there. even information the military never had filed.

Blood type, dental records, prior education, the name of the goodwife who gave birth to her, stuff like that was there but yet anything about her family was cleaned out, because of course it was.

It was extremely irritating and Hawkeye knew how much paperwork she'd need to file about... missing paperwork because her superiors love redundancy.

Shaking off thoughts she should have about her superiors Hawkeye sighed and focused on the 13 years old girl from up north, (Insert blood type here), broke a tooth falling down stairs, homeschooled, and was brought into this world by Jenny Walter.

Hawkeye looked at (Y/n) who was messing with her fingers, " What now?" She spoke, Hughes hummed and scratched his head, " We report this all to Roy I guess." (Y/n) looked confused at the unfamiliar name and Hawkeye explained, " Roy Mustang, he's the Flame Alchemist, he's also the Colonel." (Y/n) pretended to understand and the two of them took her to his office.

When they make it to the door to his office Hughes steps in front of both of them and graciously opens the door, " Ladies first." Hawkeye amusedly huffs as she enters while (Y/n) thanks him.

Inside the office Mustang was sitting at his desk hastily scribbling through a stack of papers, " Sir, were back from the (L/n) case." Hawkeye introduced their presence to him.

Mustang didn't look up from his desk and kept writing, " So I've heard, you two made quite the stir this afternoon, taking someone to the hospital." Hawkeye nor Hughes said anything to further explain what happened and Mustang continues, "Anyways, what did you find?" Hughes chuckles and rubs the back of neck, " A girl."

This time Mustang looked up, " What-" Cutting himself off Mustang saw (Y/n), she wasn't in the orderly row Hughes and Hawkeye made in front of desk, instead she was a step or two behind and was hiding part of her face behind Hughes's back, obviously nervous to be meeting him, " Give me all the details." Hughes raised a finger and sheepishly smiles, " That's the thing Roy, we don't know the details."

" What do you mean?"

" She has amnesia sir, she was in a room with a transmutation circle when we found her."

After Hawkeye's rundown Mustang looks back at (Y/n), he noticed there was something she wanted to say but was too scared to, " You want to say something, what is it?" Realizing Mustang was talking to her (Y/n) blurted out what she was thinking, " I don't know about the circle I swear! I'm sorry if I hurt anyone or- or if I did something really bad I-" Mustang cuts her off with a wave of his hand.

" I believe you, if you were lying I would've known by now, you're easy to read." (Y/n) nods and Mustang looks at her face, something was off about it but he couldn't put his finger on it, " Could you step aside." He gestured to Hughes who mumbles an, " Okay." And steps aside, (Y/n) stepping with him. Mustang deadpans, " What's your name?" (Y/n) answers and Mustang hums.

" Okay, (Y/n), can you stop hiding?"

" No."

" Why?"

" I'm scared."

" Of?"

" You."
