Just Another Day at the Office
Both Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye were ten minutes late for work. If it had just been the colonel, no one would have been worried. But Hawkeye being late was next to unheard of. It had happened one time in the history of the office, and the colonel had actually sent her home early later that day due to the fever she had. For both of them to be late indicated that something was amiss. Still, nobody had panicked just yet.
When they were both fifteen minutes late, Havoc began to think that they might need a plan. When both officers were sixteen minutes later, both Mustang and Hawkeye appeared in the doorway. Havoc was feeling more than a little uneasy. Both Mustang and Hawkeye were smiling as if Mustang had just succeeded in his plans, and there wasn't a word of reproach from Hawkeye about being late. Mustang also had his hand at the small of Hawkeye back. The gesture wasn't entirely unexpected (Havoc had seen it before), but it was rarely seen in public.
The pair seemed to realize that everyone else in the office was staring at them. A look was shared between Mustang and Hawkeye that Havoc couldn't interpret. Then Mustang smiled at his officers.
"Right. Hawkeye and I have an announcement to make, and then you all can get back to work. Hawkeye and I were married yesterday. This won't change anything directly in our office, though my superior office will be doing Hawkeye's evaluations from now on. Technically, it's Hawkeye-Mustang now, but we've decided to just stick with Hawkeye at the office. Any questions?"
They were all too much in shock to have any. Mustang nodded.
"I'll let you get back to work then."
Mustang retreated to his office while Hawkeye went about her normal morning routine of fixing herself a cup of tea before settling down to work. Havoc scrumptiously checked out her left hand. Hawkeye was wearing two gold rings, one with a diamond flanked by a pair of rubies and one that was just a plain gold band. Still, it all was a little unbelievable. Hawkeye and Mustang were actually married? Everyone knew that there was something between the two of them (they were the subject of several betting pools; there was quite a bit of money on the line at this point), but no one had really expected them to do anything about it now.
But all the evidence pointed to the fact that they had gotten married. Havoc and the rest of the guys watched rather stunned as Hawkeye brought a stack of papers to Mustang. There was some quiet conversation between the two of them (that was normal), and then Mustang picked up his pen and started signing them without protest. Hawkeye returned to her seat, and ten minutes later, Mustang delivered the signed papers to her along with a kiss.
"So," Breda asked, sounding vaguely worried. "Who won the bet?"
No one quite knew what to make of it when they discovered that Maes Hughes was now several thousand sen richer. There was a vague feeling a doom though, especially when one considered just how many pictures that could buy. Still, Hawkeye and Mustang were now married. There was just something right about that. Either there was still hope for the world or the office would end in burning wreckage. Either way, at least they would have a front row seat.
