I really enjoyed this story. The longing is quite evident in both of them.

Very touching!

Usually I'm not sure over the ban on fraternization law as it's too easy for Arakawa to do that if she wants. However, I like that Olivier will give it a trail period. Still a very sweet piece, though!

Re: The ban: Arakawa says in some interview (or something I read that was a direct translation) that the reason Roy and Riza aren't married is because of the military ban on fraternization, and Riza won't leave the military, because she has to protect Roy.

So, yeah, it is a thing.

Oh wow, realized I forgot a word in that post, "lifting". Thought I put it there. So my original post was supposed to say "Usually I'm not sure over lifting the ban on fraternization law". What I meant is it's too easy for Arakawa to lift the ban. Can't edit that post now as you replied to it. Missing one word can change a whole sentence. >.>;

It really can. :D
