Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Little secrets ❯ What are you hiding? ( Epilogue )

The next morning, you woke up around 7am sharp. The Colonel wanted to see you about..something. He wouldn't say what so, ignoring Ed's warnings and complains, you decided that nothing could go wrong. This morning you wore a short sleeved light blue shirt with the words "Spoil me because I'm worth it," on the front, a light pink skirt the just reached a bit before your knees, knee length striped socks and black and white sneakers. You pulled your blond/brown hair into a loose bun and went into the bathroom to rid yourself of morning breath. After that you looked around before opening a cup-board filled with....POCKY! Yes, pocky. All the flavours you could imagine. Pulling out a box of chocolate pocky, you skipped out of your house, locked the door and made your way to the Military base.

 

Meanwhile AT Military base, Jean Havoc was sitting at his desk, letting his thoughts drift to you. Your innocent crimson eyes, your soft, blond hair and your childish features. "Lieutenant Havoc..." He could hear your gentle, voice now. "Lieutenant Havoc..." Again. Ah how he loved that sound. "Lieuteant Havoc are you feeling okay?" His eyes opened to see crimson ones staring back at him. He jumped back from surprise and landed flat on the floor. "Oh!" You quickly helped him up as he blushed. "Are you okay?" You asked frantically, looking him over for bruises. "I-I'm fine!" He insisted standing up, quickly. You sighed in relief. "Thanks good. Umm, why were you asleep on your desk?" You asked stepping back a step. Havoc chuckled nervously as his nose started to bleed. "Oh!" You quickly took a tissue out of your pocket and held it over his nose. He nodded a thanks and took if from you, your hands brushing for a slight momment. "Umm, thanks." He said blushing. You nodded, a faint pink tinge across your cheeks.

 

"(F/n) Elric?" A calm, cool voice came from the door. "Oh, Colonel Mustang!" You said in surprise and saluted. Almost like a reflex. He chuckled. "No need to be formal...call me Roy." He replied as he started to walk over to you. "Yes sir-I mean Roy." You nodded, picking up your box of pocky which had been abandoned on Havoc's desk while you were trying to wake him up. Roy stopped in front of you, his onyx eyes taking in your features.You blushed more as he gave what looked like a cross between a smirk and a smile."My, my, you are a cute girl...for an Elric." He replied walking over to his desk. You blinked and turned to face him, pocky stick now hanging out of your mouth. Roy chuckled more and sat down. "Now, (F/n), I wanted to talk to you about your cousin, Fullmetal, and your dissaperence." He said crossing his arms and leaning onto the desk, eyes keeping their gaze on you. You shifted uncomfortably. "Uhh, sure." You replied trying to smile.

 

He nodded and looked down at a file, placed on his desk neatly. "Alright...so how old we're you when you dissapered?" He asked picking up a pen. "10." You nodded and crossed your arms. "Did you know Edward was a Alchemist?" "Yes." "Are you one?" You blinked and gulped. "No..." You said softly. 'Lier.' Your mind screamed. Roy gave you a look like he didn't believe you. "Alright...what side of the family are you from?" He asked looking down at his paper and writing a few notes.

"Trisha's." You nodded confidently and yawned.

 

A few minutes later, the questioning finally seezed(sp?) and you were free to go. When you stepped out of Roy's office it was like you had been set free and something very heavy was lifted off your shoulders. You sighed and muttered, "That was a close one." The flame alchemist had asked alot of questions. Most you thought were faaaaaaar to personal. You stuck another pocky stick in your mouth and walked away from the office almost bumping into Riza. "Good morning, Lietuenant Hawkeye." You said happily saluting. Riza looked down at you and smiled lightly before nodding. "Morning, (f/n)." She said. "Why are you here so early?"

You shrugged and said "Colonel wanted to see me." She mushroom sighed and shook her head. "Well I'll see you later." She replied muttering somethign under her breath as she walked away. You shrugged and skipped off as well, deciding to go search for your cousin.

 

About... (A/N:*Counts on fingers.*) an hour later, you found him sitting by himself, reading over a file. "Edo-kun!" She shouted happily, glomping the poor boy from behind. Ed gave a yell of surprise and turned around to look at you. "Oh, (f/n), whats up?" He asked closing the file and blinking. You stood up and smiled more. "Hi, what ya doing? Wheres Al? Want some pocky? Oooh, whats that?" You asked in one breath. The short (A/N:^^;;) boy blinked and sighed. "Hi, reading, I don't know, no and I have no clue, a bird?" He summed up and shook his head at your many questions. You nodded and sat down next to him. "Whats the file about?" You asked tapping it lightly. The eldest Elric brother blinked and opened it for you to see. "It's for a homunaculu(sp?)." He said simply. You wrinkled your nose. "An artifical human, right?" A nod. "Ah, whats the name?" "Envy..." "Ooooo, jealousy...a sin." Another nod. "Wow...." You were out of things to say which didn't happen often. ""You seem to know a thing or two about sins, (f/n)..." Ed said looking up at you. You shrugged and picked up a leaf that had blown in front of you. "I do my reaserch..." You replied starting to think. He nodded slowly then frowned. He knew when you were hiding something. "Is something bothering you, (Nickname?)" He asked raising an eyebrow. You shook your head rapidly. "No nothing, nada." You replied rubbing the back of your head. He crossed his arms and stayed silent. You sighed knowing he had figured you out and let your hand drop into your lap. "Alright, just promise you won't hate me." You said, almost pleading. Ed nodded. "Promise." You took a breath in and out before starting. "Alright, I'll start from the beginning...."
