                You walked out of his office, and finally relaxed your shoulders. You rolled one and tried to get rid of the stiffness that remained. He gave you your first assignment but he is willing to give you a day to settle in first. Maybe this Mustang guy isn't so bad after all, you thought.
                You weren't paying attention and bumped into a short blonde kid. Wait, did you just think shor-?
                "Watch where you're going! Oh! (f/n)!" Edward exclaimed, rubbing his forehead. "So, how was the meeting?" he asked, his smirk grew on his face again. The same smirk from this morning, when you found him in your room. "It went well," you replied, acting nonchalantly. "Well? Just'well'? Not even a: 'Omigod the Colonel is so cute!' or a 'He is a total hunk!'" Ed's eyes went wide and faked multiple girly voices.
                You hit him upside the shoulder, getting annoyed. "Oh stop that. You are such a kid sometimes. And no, I didn't think of him that way." And yet when you were sitting there in front of Mustang, you couldn't help drifting away in your thoughts. Like the way he expressed his words with his hands, or the fact that his face never shifted to different emotions. Just stayed in its stoic position. Or even his badges clinking together whenever he shifts.

-------------------------------------flashback~~---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                "My name Is Colonel Roy Mustang, but you will either call me Colonel, or Colonel Mustang. It's formalities from here on out. Do you have any questions before I hand you your first assignment?" The colonel asked, pulling out a file from his stack of paperwork. You wonder if that stack ever fell over, and how he could have kept it standing up.   
                "No sir....Well actually, yes, I do have one question," You replied, adding a "Sir" to the end. He raised a brow as you asked your question. "Will I be able to have time to study my alchemy and get my skills up?"
                "Well, what are your skills exactly?" he answered a question with a question, folding his hands on the desk and leaned towards you. "Well, I can produce little fires and pools of water, but my range isn't very far. I'm trying to study to figure out how to extend the reach of the alchemy. Also, I have an effect on plants and wildlife that seems to be different than most people." You added that last art in, unknowing of whether or not that was counted as alchemy.
                "Effects on plants and animals?" Mustang seemed to have been paying little attention earlier, as if it was part of a repeated exercise, until you mentioned the anomaly. "Like how? Show me." he said, in an authoritative way.
                You nodded at the command and looked on his desk to see a potted flower that seems to be dying. You sigh, realizing that the colonel must not know how to correctly take care of a plant. You reach your hand out and touched a leaf, and focused as it went from a brown to a green color. The color traveled to the stem of the leaf, then to the stems of the plant itself. The plant seemed to have straightened out and the flowers bloomed a white color with little red patterns. You finish, and took a gasp of air, realizing you have been holding your breath as you were healing the plant.
                You looked up at the colonel and thought you saw surprise etched on his face, but it quickly went away right after you looked at him. "Well...that was, different," he finally said. "And animals? What kind of effect do you have on them?"
                You thought hard as you tried to think of a way to explain the fact that animals seem to follow you wherever you go. "Well, I guess I can summon an animal and get it to listen and follow my words. Kind of like telling him or her what to do," you replied carefully.
                "So, kind of like a commanding officer giving out orders then." The colonel pondered what you have presented and said, as his hand went to his chin, thinking of a way to respond to your actions. You noticed his hand flicking away, interpreting that as a dismissal. You stood up, saluted, then left the colonel to his thoughts.

-------------------------------------flashback ends~~------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                You walked home, zoning out and thinking about the Colonel, until you suddenly realize that Ed was talking. "...so how about it?" he finished. "I'm sorry, forgive me, but what was it you said?" you asked him, looking confused.
                "Ugh you never pay attention do you? Oh well, can't be helped." Edward shrugged and repeated what he said. "Al and I are going to go on a mission soon, leaving the house empty. We'll be gone for a few weeks and were wondering if you could please watch over the house while we are gone. Colonel Bastard and Second Lieutenant Hawkeye each have a key to the house, and will be able to be available in case you need something. So will that be alright (y/n)?"
                "Yeah that should be no problem." You smile at him, being respectful, as you both arrive at the house. You follow Ed inside and you immediately head upstairs and got fresh clothes and entered the bathroom. You undress and get in the shower and start shampooing your hair. You rinse out the suds and pick up Ed's conditioner and used that, since you ran out of yours a few days ago. You start to lose yourself in thought, thinking about the Colonel. You smile, remembering how he looked at you when you presented your alchemy. Although he always kept his face completely emotionless, you knew that you caught the surprise in his eyes.
                Your father always said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and you could always tell how a person is feeling just by looking at their eyes, and not their face.
                Felling the heat suddenly go cold, you wake up from your daze. "(y/n)! (y/n)! You fall asleep in there?? Hurry up! Stop using all the hot water!" You caught the words coming from behind the door. It seems that a very annoyed shrimp wanted to take a shower too, so you hurry up and quickly dried off your hair and body. You got dressed and opened the door and a very pissed of Elric stumbled in.
                "I'm done alright?" You pushed passed him and entered your room, walking over to your desk. You opened your journal, and started writing about your day. You paused when you reached the part when you entered the Colonel's office. You shake your head, noting that you were dazing off again, and tried to focus. You know that fraternizing with your fellow officers, and your superior, was deeply frowned upon and would cost you your job. You finish your entry and sat it down, and walked downstairs to eat. You could smell the sizzling dinner and you could feel your mouth water.
Here is the second chapter!! Please enjoy and I will add a third as soon as I can!

Sorry I was a little slow on this one. Comments are welcome, and I am doing my best!

I am writing this kind of story because I noticed that there aren't any Royxreader stories, so I thought, might as well!!
