A/n: I wrote this before the movie came out. Be warned I think Riza is OOC, I don't she'd actually act this way in a situation like this. :)

invisible johnny-I've written another one, it'll be in the second batch of RoyAi drabbles I have. :)


You've got to take the bitter with the sour. Samuel Goldwyn (1882 - 1974)

#28 Reunion

Two years they'd been apart, two years since he'd left her behind.

Now he was back, within the privacy of her office. She, sitting behind her desk, and him standing before it.

Their reunion, both could tell, wasn't going to be pleasant.

"You're back," she muttered, not looking up from her paperwork.

He cleared his throat. "I came as soon as I found out where you were,"

"Really?" the lack of emotion in hr voice stung him.

"I'm…I'm sorry I left you…the way I did," the words came out uneven and heavy with guilt.

"Would you have come back if I had gotten pregnant?"

"Of course I would!" he cried, too quickly, too hastily.

Her eyes narrowed. "You'd come back for illegitimate bastard child," he saw a tear trickle down her cheek, staining her beautiful skin. "But you wouldn't stay for me?" she choked out hoarsely, pain and anger laced into every word.

There was nothing more he wanted to do than take her in his arms and hold her close, tell her it was okay, that everything would be all right.

But he couldn't.

He had caused the hole in her heart.

But he couldn't fill it.
