![]() To get to a point, that's how I see Mustang & Hawkeye - a deeply intimate relationship where they're in sync, knowing how each other thinks and how they might act next, how to best support each other in any moment (especially dangerous and vulnerable moments throughout the series) and they're deeply loyal to each other. And they are! It's an intimate relationship of a different type. A lot of people assume a lot of ice dance pairs and pairs skating partnerships are romantic even if it's known that they aren't because they just seem intimate. You'd absolutely think they were a couple to see them skate & perform together. But in order to be partners like that - to skate in sync, to train hours a day together, to lift one partner off the ice, to perform these emotional stories through their program on the ice - they have to have this deep, intimate, trusting partnership and have genuinely stayed close friends. teams (a pair) used to be a romantic couple but ultimately decided being a couple on & off the ice was too much, and they mutually chose their professional partnership on the ice as more important to them and ended their romantic relationship. So, this may sound like an odd comparison, but I'm a big figure skating fan, and one of the current U.S. Hopefully that answers your question, it's a bit long, sorry. So they are Canon in the sense that their lives are likely intertwined until death do them part, but that relationship isn't necessarily romantic in nature, even if some physical attraction slips through every now and then. A relationship would be a hindrance to their goals. They're committed to the cause, their history vastly overshadows any physical attraction, and they're not planning to really settle down at any point. So after all this, we see Mustang has committed his life to this cause of being Führer, and Riza has agreed to follow him "to hell." They're not in it for a picnic, if they achieve their goals their likely outcome would mean imprisonment, possibly death as war criminals. This part I think is the most important part regarding your question. Then the rest of the series happens, we see their relationship age and grow while freeing Amestris from Father. They can't deny their physical attraction to each other, but the other stuff really overshadows it pretty thoroughly I think. I can only guess at the sheer amount of angst and mixed feelings on both sides at this point. This again further brings them together in an unusual way, and changes their dynamic even more. ![]() This we see in the series - they meet in the battlefield, Riza convinces Roy to burn the secrets off her back, etc. ![]() You can imagine how that would change the dynamic of their relationship rather drastically.Īnd then, a rather short while after that, the conflict in Ishval happened. ![]() Then the whole business with Master Hawkeye dying and Roy convincing Riza to give him her secrets of Flame Alchemy happened. Mustang learned the basics of Flame Alchemy from Hawkeye's father, and you have to assume they've known each other for at least as long as Mustang's been a student of Master Hawkeye, possibly longer, possibly it's how they met? Who knows? So Riza has seen Mustang grow from a young age into what he is now. I'll try to sum it up as succinctly as I can, but these types of things aren't really my forté. I think the author left it open because exploring that issue would basically be an entire other story just by itself - the story of their lives after the series. So, the thing is with them, it's a bit more complicated than just military rank.
