Okay, I am WAY behind now, but I refuse to give up. I am going to finish it this year, even if it is late.. So this one is two days late. Sorry.
“Find a cen and pick it up, and all day you'll have good luck.” Havoc chuckled to himself. as he saw a one cen piece laying heads up on the ground while he was walking towards Central Command. He hadn't said that little rhyme all children learned in elementary school in close to 20 years. The blond took a puff of his cigarette and bent down to pick it up. “Looks like this is going to be my lucky day...” He smiled and continued on his way, whistling a tune out of the side of his mouth, careful not to lose his precious nicotine.
By the end of the day, Jean was fairly sure that it had been the worst day of his life. Work had been hell. Mustang had been in a wretchedly horrible mood, which affected everyone else in the office. The alchemst had snapped at him for a very minor mistake, and it was all that Jean could do to not simply walk out and go to the nearest bar to crawl into a bottle. On his lunch break, he was rejected by yet another secretary, who said that she was going out with Mustang at the end of the week. And, to top it all off, he ran out of cigarettes halfway through the day, and it was several days before payday.
By the time Jean was done with all of the extra paperwork that Hawkeye had piled on him, the sun had long since dipped underneath the horizon. When he looked up, he saw that it was only he and Mustang left in the room. He stood, groaning as his muscles protested to the movement after sitting for so long.
“Permmission to leave for the night, sir?”
“Granted. Have a good night, Lieutenant.” Jean immediately went to his pocket. He pulled out a cigarette and thust it in his mouth,. Then walked towards the door.
“Oh, Lieutenant.” Havoc tensed, afraid that the Colonel had more work for him. “I am done here as well. I was thinking about stopping at a bar and having a beer. Care to come along with me?” Mustang had never asked him to do anything that was not related to work. He was skeptical at first. Was this a ploy to call in a favor and make him do extra work?”
“I assure you, that this is just a friendly night out.” Mustang said with a smile, seemingly reading his thoughts. “You looked like you had a hard day, and I thought you might want to relax. The first round is on me.”
“Um.. okay, sir.” He smiled and waited for Mustang to gather up his coat and they walked out of the office, in crisp military step.
'Hm.' Havoc thought to himself as they walked towards the local bar that most soldier favored since it was right outside Central Command. 'Maybe my luck is changing after all!'
