A Tangled Love Story

Chapter 9

"Colonel (Y/l)? You have a new order from the Brigadier-General," a man walked in, tall, with grey hair

"Let me see the order Falman, if I'm transferred, which there was talk of, I need to pack right away," I sighed

As Falman walks into the room, a certain raven male walks in my office

"You are dismissed Falman," I said, holding up a hand

I heard footsteps as I read the papers

"So, where are you off to?" the raven said

"What have you come to bug me about now Mustang? I don't have time for this,"

"Well, I came to see if you got Hawkeye's orders instead,"

"Yea I did, here," I said handing them to him

"At least, from what I've heard, one member of my team is still here," he sighed

"What about Havoc, Breda, Falman, Hawkeye? Even Feury? Did they quit or something?"

"No, after my meeting, they were transferred away. From what I know, Falman is up North at Briggs, as for everyone else, no idea where,"

"Well, I guess that's all the openly proffesional team members gone, don't worry, I took acting in highschool, I know how to play dumb as dirt," I chuckled

"Alright, just be careful, you never know how's listening to you," with that Roy left me in my empty office,"

(Time Skip next day)

I was at my desk in our teams room when the Fuhrer himself walked in to see me doing my work, I was doing it quickly but I noticed and slowed right down, giving the illusion that I was a bad worker

"I see you had one bad worker afterall Mustang," he said

"Yes sir, but her alchemy is excellent," Mustang replied

"Good, I will be sending you up near Briggs, that should teach you not to look into things, thats you're not supposed to look into," 

"But sir, that would put Amestris at grave danger, I can-"

"She can though,"

"But-"

"What I say is final, you have 2 days to pack up, and for you (Y/l), you'll go with him, since you can still perform some of your alchemy,"

"Y-yes sir," I replied and he left

I finished the last bit of my paperwork and looked over at Mustang, he was just starring at me

"Sir, at least, you still got someone to talk to, in the middle of the cold,"

"Yea, and my gloves get wet, and we're constantly cold,"

"We'll take all that we have and use them, you can still preform alchemy,"

"But it's useless up there,"

"And so will you if you keep this up, did you finish your paperwork yet?"

"Well...no... I didn't fi-"

I snapped my fingers and I chuckled as I sign my last paper

"Have fun Roy! I'll have blankets and the fireplace going for you!" I walked out of the office and down the hall

"(Y/l)! Get back here and dry me off!" I heard him yell

I turned back to see a soaked Mustang, poking his head out of the doorway, I stuck my tongue out at him and walked away, only to hear him yelling at me even more, and I was chuckling down the hallway and out the door as he chased me. I finally turned around and saw him in front of me

"I've got some towels in the car, come on, I also brought an extra uniform for you in case of this," I said

"Thank you, you aren't as cruel as I thought you were,"

"Never,"

I stood outside of the car while he changed and dried off, finally he came out

"Better?" I asked

"Much better," he said and he hugged me

I hugged him back after a bit of hesitation

"Come on, lets go home, my shift finished just now,"

"Alright,"
