[[ A labor of love for my wonderful Ai-Ai. I love you, baby ~ <3 ]]
She stands by a wall, anxiously watching as the myriad anime, video game and comic book character look-a-likes shuffle past her. She'd be shuffling along with them, but it's the predetermined time.
She looks down at her feet, slipped into simple black heels. She thanks God she remembered to shave this morning as she looks at the skirt of the uniform she wears. She reminds herself about the person she bought this cosplay for, and smiles.
They're late. Her eyes dart around the convention center lobby. She grows worried.
Then she sees it. Blue. Just like her clothes.
Black, shiny hair that looks just slightly spiky.
Gloves that look as though they could burn you to cinders with a snap of the fingers.
It's him.
She almost calls out their real, uncostumed name, but for the other fans that are milling around, she decides to give everyone some fanservice.
"Roy!" she cries as she runs as gracefully as her heels will allow. The person turns around, the look on their face shifting from confusion to surprise, to pure, unadulterated joy.
"Riza!" they meet halfway, the tangle of eager arms almost a bit too much to handle. With the oohing and awwing onlookers watching, they wrap their arms around each other as tightly as possible.
As they share their first real, tangible kiss, she knows without a doubt.
This was well worth the wait.
