it's actually an amazing twist with the usual "forbidden love" thing. usually it's pulled off with the parties secretly meeting and engaging in trysts and all that jazz. then they get pulled apart once more by forces beyond their control, and that's why it's heartbreaking. royai is different. i mean, they CAN screw each other behind the military's back if they really wanted to, but it wouldn't benefit anyone but themselves, which is why they don't. it can change so many things--not just between them, but if they get caught, there's so much more at stake than their hides (like the future of amestris). so it's like an unspoken deal to not do so--perhaps until it's all over. riza even explicitly said she didn't wanna live without him TWICE in the manga (when she lost the will to live in the lust battle, and when she said that if ever she has to kill him, she'll commit suicide right after). but maybe they're just looking for the right time? either way, they're probably also the most frustrating couple EVER. like you can't wait for them to get together, but you also know that's not possible in their current circumstances.

okay. rant over XD
